Canucks at Rangers

[strudwickisthebest]

Geeze, Megna is a regular now

Chance after chance after chance...team simply does not finish. Let's see if we can get 1 to tie it. We are dominating the game and the chances, but trailing.

We're getting great chances but good god. Miller is playing out of his friggin MIND tonight. Wow.

 

[Messiah717]

Every goalie seems to play out of their mind against this team.

 

[chuckd3534]

I agree 94. And if there were an isolated game where we didn't score, or a goalie that is just on, I would say what can you do. But game after game we don't score and the other goalie looks like a stud. Very frustrating.

 

[chuckd3534]

Coincidence Mess....

 

[Rangers94]

Yea. But a lot of times we miss open nets or shoot right into the goalie. While we've hit 5 posts tonight, Miller has made some outstanding saves and I'd say tonight is a combination of us lacking finishing touches and Miller making great saves.

 

[Stepupstepan]

It would be nice if our 7.8 million dollar forward find the way to score in this type of games.

 

[chuckd3534]

YES...had to score at some point...way too many chances.

 

[Rangers94]

There we go! Go to the front of the net, stick on the ice and bam.

 

[cagedlion]

Over 45 SOG and they do not know how to finish!

 

[chuckd3534]

Happy we got a point down a goal twice...now we need to finish this in OT. Big 2nd point here.

 

[Messiah717]

JT Miller has upped his game. He deserved that winner.

 

[chuckd3534]

Jonathan Thomas Miller...huge 2 points. Must have.

 

[Rangers94]

JT Miller has been outstanding lately. Good for him to get the game winner!

 

[chuckd3534]

Final score way closer than the actual play of the game dictated, we pretty much dominated, but bottom line is we get 2 must have points. While we are struggling anytime we can get 2 points is big...also brings us closer to adding a forward, so that is a plus as well.

BTW...McDonagh is back to being a stud IMO. Great to see.

And Miller should get 17 or 18 goals...big for us. If Kreider and Hayes step up that would be nice.

Kreider continued to look good tonight. Used his size and was physical. Hayes still looked loss. Lots of bad reads and passes. Good for us that he's having a bad year in a contract year. Bad for us because we counted on him to be a big contributor.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, Kreider has played better the past couple of games. Hope he keeps it up.

Hayes...wouldn't even know he was on the ice recently.

 

[Messiah717]

Well once again we must say hopefully this game gets them going. I'm noticing better efforts from some guys so that needs to carry over.

 

[theProdigy223]

Wooooo

Suck it Brooksie

 

[Stepupstepan]

cant get too excited about win against this garbage team who was missing some key players.

 

[chuckd3534]

DONE....

In all seriousness though, who knows where this team will go from here. What I do know is we have played much better D the past 10 games or so, and that is good to see.

If we can get the O going, and Miller/Kreider need to be a big part of it, maybe we can get the ship righted. Also need to deal for a forward at some point I believe.

 

[chuckd3534]

There you go Step...LOL.

 

[theProdigy223]

cant get too excited about win against this garbage team who was missing some key players.

Yeah, true. Sorry everybody.

 

[chuckd3534]

If we lost though Step would be flipping out saying trade everyone and fire AV and Gorton.

Win = don't get too excited beating a bad team.
Loss = trade/fire everyone.

Good stuff....

 

[panzerporter]

I was excited then remembered "Oh yeah the Rangers suck and they're not going anywhere". Thank goodness the negative nellies on this board keep this Rangers fan grounded. Lots of shots tonight, hopefully a precursor of things to come. Hanks made a few nice saves himself though it's all for naught because clearly this team is done.

 

[kreidertime]

Average team beat a below average team at home. This is what they are supposed to do. Doesn't change the fact this team can't compete with the big boys. It's obvious

and they didn't even do it in regulation. This win does not mask the issues that are still there and the obvious need for change.

 

[kreidertime]

Don't tell Chuck that. He's whacking it that they are in second place. It's like watches games vs. the best teams with his eyes closed.

 

[Messiah717]

Nobody said there shouldn't be improvemen's made. I'm sorry some of us weren't disappointed with a victory. I realize it goes against the bitch and moan about any and everything agenda.
