Post-Game Talk: Three Stars #45: Devils @ Rangers, aka, "Season's Over"

[EpicDing]

Revenge must be sweet I guess... well good luck.

Thanks for being classy man, it's appreciated

 

[Kreider Typical]

They mad, bro.

Lol, he isn't even a big goalie.

for real... look at ****ing anderson. lundqvist is small.

 

[NCRanger]

Even if this year's Ranger team doesn't get out of the first round, nothing would be sweeter than scoring about 7 on Maaaarty on Saturday and send him out to pasture.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Hank is what? Six foot and a buck eighty?

He ain't Ben ****ing Bishop lol.

BTW, 3 thoughts.

1) This was the best game by far of the last 3. A stat watcher may look at 4-1 and think good score, but better than 6-1 and 8-4? Yes! Complete team effort. D was great the vast majority of the game, just not Hank's year to get shutouts. Similar to his rookie season.

2) Nash had no points and we still domindated.

3) Mentioned this in the GDT, but this bears repeating. The Rangers have scored at least one goal in 11 straight periods. That's amazing. There was a point in the season I wouldn't have been surprised about getting shutout in 11 straight periods.

Never prouder of Cally then when he negates the icing with a 4-1 lead with 50 seconds left, more proud of that than the 2 goals, great penalty killing and 12 body checks...the Captain leads by example

 

[Saitama]

If I got my way, the Rangers finish 7th, either Winnipeg/Washington finish 8th, and Ottawa misses.

Don't think the Rangers are going to catch the Islanders, actually wouldn't be surprised even if the Islanders catch Toronto for 5th.

I'd be quite happy with this too!

What's the song that plays at MSG now after Rangers wins?

Kovalchuk on DeBoer misconduct: you can't do that in the last seconds in front of everybody. 15 seconds left you don't have to put on a show

Wonder how much longer DeBoer lasts as head coach. Can't be good when your star player rips you a new one.

Who was Kovy complaining to at the end?

He was ripping the ref not his coach...Chere clarified in a later tweet

I remember some Devils fans telling me how much of a genius DeBoer was compared to the "idiot" Torts. Say what you will about Torts, but DeBoer isn't some god-coach himself.

Flo rida!

omg i overslept and missed the game...I missed the sweet revenge game

Thats why he's the heart and soul of team! Hard to say anything negative about him!

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Girardi played a real strong game.

 

[Oak]

Awesome win. I can't wait to hear fatboy make excuses.

 

[Gamma82]

It's always nice to send the Devils to the golf course early.

 

[abev]

What did Asham do at the end there?

What was Asham's misconduct? Damn NBC brushed over it.

I was watching Asham but for some reason I cant rememeber who he did it to - I think it was Carter. He just skated up to him and gave him a couple cross checks to his side. It didnt look too out of the ordinary. Maybe he said something? Ot maybe they didn't want guys to get beat up.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Can analysts grow pair and call a spade a spade? I'm so sick of these guys saying "Lundqvist is one of the best goalies in the league". That's true in any given year. However, he's been that EVERY year since the lockout. He just had 2 Vezina worthy seasons in a row. Getting better with age. Considering how much better the D was last year you can argue he's been better this year and that's after a bad start to the season.

 

[Vickers8]

Girardi played a real strong game.

I agree also loved when he flattened Dagostini...

 

[Boruto]

Can someone explain the DaBoar situation to me? I missed the game.

Boyle Flaming Bot
1. Games without Boyle: 6-0-0
2. Recent games without Boyle: 3-0-0
3. Goals for per game without Boyle: 6.00G/G

1) Pyatt finally scored one to make himself more acceptable around these parts. For a guy who's role is pretty straight forward and not required to be an impact player, he does a decent job at the basics. Good to see him score. He's been on the ice A LOT in the GF in the last 3 games. No doubt that has gotten his spirits up and tonight's goal was certainly a much needed odd man situation type of goal that we don't get too much of.

2) Richards is looking solid again. Whether or not he puts up points, you can tell he's opened the door and on the way out. Still a bit more before he steps out into the light and shuts that door behind him but boy, isn't it good to see him doing better? Players that get **** on endlessly in a season typically do not recover. When they do recover, it's sometimes in vain. Beaves is not bad at all.

3) It's really important to look at what's significantly different about our offensive game. Individual players have stepped up to score the goals and Brad Richards is certainly in the thick of it having been involved in at least a third of all the goals. 2+ against the Panthers, 3+ against the Sabres and 2+ against the Devils. It is of importance though to point out that we've been uncontested in the offensive zone and we haven't been punished in our zone too much against three vastly inferior teams playing some of the limpest hockey I've seen all season long.

4. It's partly because of less dump and chase but that's because teams aren't fast or physical against us in the neutral zone and we haven't had to chase. It'd be interesting to see how the other factor in our offensive uprising -- individual efforts/confidence will hold up against a tough team.

 

[abev]

The Devils fans (and maybe the Devils themselves) need to understand that because you throw 10-15 40+ footers at the net doesn't mean you outplayed your opponents by padding your shot total.

He was upset with the calls all day, and was yapping all day.
