Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs Islanders 1/21

[TheDirtyH]

Rough game on all fronts. Funny that for a while on this stretch it seemed like our only weakness was our top line, and this game nobody else showed up to play.

 

[arunnair87]

Why didn't hank play at all? I saw some random goalie was the backup.

 

[KingP]

Was Callahan playing tonight?

Was it just me that wasn't noticing him out there?

its ridiculous

he never steps up

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I hope he reads this..

He wrote in white "at getting loser points". And they're not better than the Rangers, but it's not that crazy of a stretch. They beat us 3 times out of 3 and are only a couple of points away from the Rangers.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

No. A player does not take a too many men on the ice penalty. The team does.

The implication is that Kreider's lack of situational awareness is what caused the TMM call. He also served the minor.

 

[JCrusher*]

Can't win them all but we at least have to show up. Everyone other than Kreider and Nash was pretty dreadful and then Kreider ruined it by taking another awful penalty himself.

Kreider is still learning plus he has being asked to not only be a playmaker but also to be physical which will result in penalties. However its tough to balme kreider too much. Him and nash were the only ones who played tonight. it was basically the Islanders vs Kreider/Nash

 

[devilsAvocado]

Sorry to say, but....

Hank would have won us this.

Line juggling messed things up a bit.

They all seemed unprepared.


so who is to blame today?

AV

simple as that

 

[Ghost of jas]

Was Callahan playing tonight?

You don't recall him handling the puck like a grenade?

 

[stan the caddy]

They didn't play that bad. Islanders scored some nice goals, they have a solid team and they're hot right now.

 

[NCRanger]

Barely lost a game that they made a TON of mistakes in, and the Isles goalie had maybe the best game of his life.

Could have won. Should have won. Barely lost. Such is life watching the modern NHL.

The fan base here is absolutely absurd. For all of the Sather hating, and trust me, I think he's been a fool, I'm 99% certain that most people here would be worse with their knee-jerk BS. Way worse.

I agree.

The modern NHL whistled an icing that has never been an icing in all the years the NHL has existed which directly led to the too many men penalty.

That doesn't happen, Rangers get at least a point tonight, even as inconsistent as they were.

 

[trilobyte]

You have to admit the Islanders played a spirited game. They carried the energy and the Rangers just didn't have the same level.
It happens. Too bad to give up that lead, they have to be embarrassed a bit about that.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Not mentioned on the broadcast:

As awesome as the 2nd Nash goal was, how the hell was he THAT far out of the play after the Islanders just had a great chance on an odd man rush?

 

[Machinehead]

The implication is that Kreider's lack of situational awareness is what caused the TMM call. He also served the minor.

You can't blame one player when the team makes a lousy change.

 

[The Gloaming]

Was Callahan playing tonight?

Was it just me that wasn't noticing him out there?

I noticed him.

He was passing the puck carelessly like the moron that he is when he's in the offensive zone.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

It would be unacceptable if we were the Ducks, or the Penguins.

Not the Rangers.

No.

The Pens were embarrassed by the Panthers recently.

Good teams lose to ****** teams. Are we a good team? Who knows, but we've certainly been playing like one over the past month. In the grand scheme of things, its one thing. The big problem is that we were so bad at the beginning of the season that we need as many points as we can get.

 

[CHGoalie27]

I picked Kreider cuz he needed more votes. I was happy with, yes, just the two of them.

Girardi should've been a poll choice out of respect for Denis Potvin.

If someone wasn't sick...

 

[Ghost of jas]

Hank would have won us this.

What line juggling? The lines stayed intact all night.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

No. A player does not take a too many men on the ice penalty. The team does.

Do you know WHY the penalty was called?

 

[Abooch68]

Perhaps you should learn to not takes things so literally and pay attention to the game rather than what the box score says.

Agreed. Some people live and die by the box score..

Sick didn't make it to the garden

 

[The Gloaming]

Why didn't hank play at all? I saw some random goalie was the backup.

Take a wild guess.

 

[CHGoalie27]

No.

I resent that

 

[2Leetch_94]

I hope he reads this..

No worries, I read it. I've been a very bad boy.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Should've started Levenu

Hartford conditioning stint. he sucks too much. Cams better.
