Boston @ New York 3/23/16

[Messiah717]

Zucc gets the Rangers on the board early. 1-0 Rangers.

 

[Messiah717]

Stepan with the Rangers second PP goal and it's 2-0.

 

[Disturbed]

This team sucks and is not making the playoffs

 

[Messiah717]

A rocket by Brassard makes it 3-0.

 

[Messiah717]

Stempniak must have 10 goals against them this year.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Wtf is with this team and letting stempniak score in them

 

[Ranger71]

I like the broadcast better with lost audio.

 

[mrmel29]

Need to stay aggressive and not go into turtle mode. Bruins don't have the speed to keep up with us if we stay aggressive

Every time when he plays against the Rangers, this hack
scores........I am convinced he takes PEDs.
As a Ranger he sucked.

Maybe he hooked up with Arod during his NY run.

 

[mrmel29]

big goal by JT for the 4-1 lead

 

[Messiah717]

JT Miller makes it 4-1 with #20. Congrats Kid.

 

[mrmel29]

And nash with the empty netter to finish this one

 

[Messiah717]

Another solid win. Eight games to go including two this weekend. It's in their hands to keep that second spot in the Met.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Lindberg needs to play and Hayes should sit in the stands. AV, we know you are not that stupid.

 

[panzerporter]

Time for the negative nellies to change their tune from not making the playoffs to ok they made the playoffs but they'll be knocked out early. I agree Lindberg should be playing, Hayes looks lost out there. A game or 2 in the press box might clear his head. Big hit by JT on Chara too.

 

[Messiah717]

I enjoyed seeing Chara get hit for once and say what you want about him but Glass started the game doing exactly what he should've. I'm sure Stepan appreciated it.

 

[Messiah717]

Just throwing it out there but the Rangers hit with another back to back this weekend. A lot has to do with MSG availability as the amount of events at the Garden as well as the Knicks really screw them schedule wise some years.

 

[kreidertime]

No idea how this win was solid. They gave up 42 shots. Lundqvist stood on his head. Boston got screwed on one replay and they got killed on faceoffs. Nash and Staal did nothing other than get a worthless, empty net goal. I'm not seeing anything that tells me this will be a dangerous playoff team.

Glad they won but this team hasn't impressed at any point this year. Thinking otherwise is just moronic.

Aside from Washington what are you seeing from every other team that is below them in the standings? What makes them so solid and dangerous?

 

[panzerporter]

Their defensive unit is the weak link, when Girardi skates away from the front of the net to allow an easy tip in it's frustrating since even Hank can't make every save, McDonough has to make decisions quicker, seems like he's thinking in slo-mo. I think this year's playoff team is much better than last year's personnel wise, performance wise we'll see.

 

[Ranger71]

Last night was a perfect example of why Yandle could not be moved. McDonagh dosen't have those kinds of offensive abilities to break down a defense. As stated above, he tends to think too much and hold the puck too long.

 

[kreidertime]

In the past there were games where I felt the other team had no chance of scoring. Or scoring on the PP. Or controlling play because they were so much slower than the Rangers. I don't see that this year. I see a team that isn't dominate.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

what a fucking terrible team...they have fallen big time from last year...went from first overall all the way to ...... #5
all the reading throughout this season you would have thought this team was in the lottery.

9th overall in goal differential
6th overall in scoring...
2nd in the league in home wins

they suck

 

[kreidertime]

Sorry but this teams record is not indicative of how they have played. They have won a lot of games where they have been dominated by the other team. They have had so many sloppy wins. Given up a ton of late goals in games. Late goals in periods. They have played very poorly against the top teams. They have been an awful road team. There is a reason some of the best hockey analyst are not mentioning them as a favorite. They don't deserve to be. They abysmal penalty killing is going to be a huge problem in the post season.

But the teams you thought were dominant didnt win a cup, which you have said over and over is all that matters when judging success. So if you were wrong about how dominant those teams were, why are you so positively, unbelievably certain you arent wrong again when you talk about how this team has no chance?

Nobody here is saying they WILL win the cup but it's baffling how many people are saying they WONT win the cup.
