Game Thread 4/29/17 Game 2 New York Rangers vs Ottawa Senators

We'll cover for you Mess and see if we can make it happen.

 

Game winner will come in the first 12 minutes. No triple OT. Hoping it'll be Miller for his own good or Fast who deserves a goal.

 

Maybe 93 again.

 

Kreider has had a decent game. He needs to finish that though.

 

Good thing Staal and Holden were out there. Fuck those two dmen. Unreal. They are the absolute WORST d pairing we have and AV kept putting them out over and over again. At least break them up. But nope. Unreal.

 

The simple fact that WE ALL know that a Staal and Holden are a liability and yet AV and Beuk keeps rolling them out there TOGETHER is mind boggling. They can't be together. They both are slow incompetent dmen.

 

When you let a reject score 4 goals against you in a playoff game. You know you are finished and your coach needs to be fired.

 

Just a brutal pinch by Holden but garbage gm by Lundqvist. He has to make that save.

I didn't really expect them to beat Montreal but losing to the Sens is bad. This team just isn't very good right now

 

He doesn't have to make that save. The idiots playing in front of him have to stop letting a fucking 12 goal scorer look like Crosby in his prime.

 

Lol this team is done. Losing a playoff series to a mediocre team... Sad

 

Dammit. Really up against it now.

 

Lose a game scoring 2 short handed goals.... Hank sucked too today.. What else is new with him. Can't make the big save when you need him to

 

Holden and Staal can't pinch because they can't cover. They are both slow skaters so when one pinches there's no way the other one is going to be able to cover or make a play. If AV and Beuk insist that they both need to be in the lineup then they have to be split up or get only 5 minutes of ice time. Also inexcusable was benching Lindberg and Buch. I don't think either of them played in either OT.

 

I am in the fetal position on my floor right now.

This is not good, in fact this is bad, but it's not yet real bad because that team across the ice SUCKS. I'm sorry. We're not down 2-0 to the caps or Pens. We can beat those fucking guys. Anderson showed his true colors tonight. Keep hitting Karlsson. Keep forechecking their D.

We win Tuesday at the Garden and this is still very much a series. We'll see what kind of fight these guys have.

Expecting Tanner in for Buch who barely played. And expecting him to score a goal.

 

Terrible display in two straight games to a team they should have beaten. Hank was awful today. I am truly not even upset. The team we saw the last 2 months or so of the season is back. No clue what happened against Montreal, but that was the anomaly.

When you blow 3-1, 4-2. and 5-3 leads you absolutely deserve to lose.

I think we are done for sure, but you watch and root and hope they can sweep at home, but I think the chances to win this series are almost none. Good for Ottawa, they deserve it with our mess up there.

Not much else to say really. Onto the Saturday night.

 

I have a few of the games from last series DVR'd, I'll send them to you.

 

I don't think you are wrong on Ottawa at all 223, I said it many times, but after seeing these two games I have very little faith this team can play competent hockey. You watch and hope and root and don't give up, but cannot feel like it has a strong chance to actually happen.

My lord Montreal must be terrible when you look at how we have played for months now outside of 5 of those 6 games.

 

Still shaking my head...how the F do you blow that game up 2 goals with just over 3 minutes left...crazy...head shaking.

 

Rangers down 2-0 is xactly what they deserve even though they had a great 2nd period today then fell back in bad team play again.

If we were playing Pitt or Wash it would be 2-0 too and with our play we would have lost 15-2 in those games
