As poorly as Hank played this loss wasn't solely on him. Rangers were bad in their own zone and once again our top offensive players (excluding Richards) didn't show up.

disgusting loss. Hank is so weak sometimes mentally it's really disconcerting.

not being able to score a goal in the third is an abomination. this is friggin calgary.

St. louis is just a bust. 4-5 game to get it together, is one thing... 14 stinkin games? this guy has issues. if felt scorned by yzerman and he has issues he should have stayed in TB.

leave to the rangers to go after the marquee bust. the longest running farce on broadway

There's nothing about Calgary that makes giving up 4 goals in itself unacceptable.

How about the fact that they have under 70 points. Let's start with that and move into the fact that they suck; then let's discuss that they have a hard time scoring and voila, giving up 4 goals to that **** ass team is pathetic.

13 games and St.Louis got away with about 12 of them.

I'm starting to think that the St.Louis line (regardless of line mates) becomes automatically too small and soft to even manage offensive zone time.

This game is a perfect example of why you can never assume that the Rangers will take care of business against teams who are out of playoff contention. Ridiculous how they always underestimate their opponent, they never learn.

Your 4th line absolutely cannot be your best line every night. Nash, MSL, Zucc, really need to wake up and start contributing consistently or we won't have a prayer in the playoffs. And this team better stop flopping around in the crease and start defending it properly.

This one's on Hank. Giving up four goals to Calgary is unacceptable.

The Ducks, a top-5 team in the league, lost 7-2 against Calgary.

Oilers lost 8-1.

And these are RECENT games. They're 15-9 in their last 24 now.

If this was unacceptable, was the Ducks game the apocalypse?

Wait, a goalie can single handedly win and lose games? What a new concept. Rangers had an entire period to make back one goal and our best offensive players are MIA. A lot of blame to go around. Not taking the 1st period off would be a nice place to start. Terrible vs the Coyotes, Lundqvist had to be outstanding vs the Flyers, and the defense tonight was terrible.

What happened to Zucc? Maybe put him back on a line with brass and poo.

Msl is terrible, we all know that.

Nash at least gave some good effort tonight.

D zone coverage was poor again, hank did screw up that one goal, but made a lot of good saves on those scrambles in front too. Rangers really need to clean up that leaving guys open in the slot thing.

Hagelin was excellent, 4th line was great again. Boyle especially keeps stepping it up.


Diaz was a guy I wanted to move MDZ for, odd he ended up on the rangers wearing #4 anyway. He's been pretty impressive.

Defensive coverage on the 4th goal??? Go to sleep. Hank has to stop that 100 out of 100 times; period.

Yea, of course, why was Cammalleri allowed to skate right into the zone and get a scoring chance like that. 2 goals went in because the Flames shooters had a ton of space to shoot. Face it, Rangers lost because of lapses in coverage, Lundqvist bad goal was icing on that

The D is to blame for this one. First 2 were %100 on d and the 3rd was because of bad d(given Diaz was interfered with and couldnt cover properly). 4th was Hank. MSL was abysmal, its like every line he gets on turns to crap. The team cant afford to lose games like this.

Ouch.

Really sucks that the game was decided with that garbage goal.

It's okay though, we won 5 straight. Now this just can't go further than this.

We need to come back Sunday night and beat the oilers and this will be forgotten.

I have a feeling that they get comfortable with where their are in the standings and have a bad game. Happened in Carolina and I think it happened tonight.

Just come out and win Sunday night please.

I begin to wonder how useful MSL really is without a 55-60 goal scorer [be it Stamkos or prime Lecavalier] drawing attention from him.

Girardi had to stay back there because of the center streaking through the middle...if he stepped up Cammalleri would have just passed it for a mini break

Hagelin and Pouliot lately have been huge positives. Both have been busting their ***** every shift.

I don't know what was up with Hank on that last goal. I saw the shot and got up to get a beer thinking it was nothing. It should have been nothing.

MSL sucking is huge too, but not as big as missing that shot. Hank is the highest paid goalie in the NHL. He is supposed to be the best. That was laughable. Absolutely laughable.

Stop being so emotional. They're an NHL hockey team. They're playing good hockey and playing spoiler. 15-9 in your last 24 is solid hockey. They embarrassed the Ducks not too long ago, and they're a much better team than us.

Fans here shouldn't act so entitled, as if a lowly team like the Flames can't beat us, the almighty New York Rangers.

There's no justifying Cammalleri's goal, Lundqvist needs to save that.

This is ****ing idiotic. Did you miss all the ****ing point blank saves he made earlier in the game when we had like zero coverage between the circles or the **** back check by the forwards half the game? The entire team showed up for about 15 total minutes of the 60, but it's ALL on the goalie?

those point blank shots hit him. Ramo made just as many of those and a few spectacular ones. Yes, Giordano was able to walk in but from 30 feet out unscreened; come out cut down the angle and make the friggin save. Instead Hank stayed on the goal line and his glove isn't good enough to make that stop. This game is all about Hank; we were the better team outside of the goaltenders and that position was not even close.

stop bringing up salary into things. It's utterly irrelevant and useless.

Technically, he's still on old salary.
