Nash looks like he has permanent brain freeze in the playoffs, like he's not sure whether to do too much or sit back and wait for things to come to him.
calling it tonight nash 2 goals one assist, rangers win 4-2. he needs to step up, our patience is all running very low. i guess all those years in CBJ not making the playoffs fucked us. damn nash pls make us happy #PAGINGNASHTY
Personally to me I think Nash's issues are straightforward. He is too nice. He doesn't have that killer instinct mean streak you need, especially in the playoffs. Look at his return to CBJ this season, he was on fire that game. He played with more energy, passion, fire, and angry than I have ever seen him play with...and shocker he had a great game. That is no coincidence to me. i am not sure it is something he can turn on or change at this point in his career, but if he wants to produce in big games, in playoff games, I truly think he has to find another level passion and fire wise. He has to want to win so badly that it hurts. And quite frankly I just don't see that killer instinct from him. He is too nice IMO.
Let's see how we start. Always tough first game on the road as the other teams crowd and players are jacked up. A solid start to overcome the emotion would be nice.
Just stupid. That is the stuff we cannot do. And we were setup as they had a broken stick. Very dumb.
