Final game of reg. season: Rangers at Isles

[cagedlion]

Expect another crazy game. Okposo back in Isle lineup.

Rangers need to better their PP. If they cannot score PP vs Isles,
they will lose.

One thing for sure.......THE JOINT WILL BE JUMPIN.

No idea which team wins tonight. I truly can see either team winning. All I will say is I think it will be lower scoring than the last game. Maybe 4-2 or something like that. Both teams get from 2 to 4 goals.

 

[chuckd3534]

I think we have two givens against the Isles. We have to get off to an awful start and Cam has to let in a soft goal. Staal and Boyle watching Lee score that goal.

Terrible start, wake up guys.

 

[Messiah717]

It would be nice if they weren't always playing from behind against the Islanders.

 

[chuckd3534]

Not sure the Isles had a bunch of good chances, but we had almost none. And the puck was in our end the whole period pretty much.

On the Isles goal it was sad that Lee had a chance, poke checked away by Cam, Lee falls to the ice, gets back up and still gets to the puck in front of Staal, then scores on a weak wrap around that Cam should have stopped. Weak stuff by Staal and stoppable goal for Cam.

Hopefully they get their game together. If you don't get any chances on Halak you can't score and allow him to let in some weak goals.

 

[Messiah717]

Down 14-3 on faceoffs. That's ridiculous.

 

[chuckd3534]

Crazy as it sounds Mess, we came out flat. I don't think there was anything hard or passionate about our game in the 1st. Have to think AV will have them fired up for the 2nd.

 

[Messiah717]

Stepan shoot the f'n puck.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Wasn't Glass suppose to bring some energy? What was the point dressing him?

 

[Stepupstepan]

LOL...Yandle has no points. I thought he was supposed to be this offensive stud d-men.

 

[Ranger71]

The defensemen just do not get in shooting position quick enough.

 

[Messiah717]

Wow Hayes. What a goal.

 

[Stepupstepan]

What a sick goal by Hayes. I love this kid.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Martin skates around and does anything he wants. Tanner Glass just skates around and does nothing.

 

[Messiah717]

Martin deserves a kick in the eye.

 

[Stepupstepan]

What bunch of idiots.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yandle has played 11 periods Step, if he hasn't done it by now he never will...I agree.

Much better period obviously. The last 8 minutes the Isles found their game again though, that concerns me for the 3rd. Hopefully we get our energy back up for a big 3rd. We should be the fresher team.

Amazing goal by Hayes for sure. Kid has size and skill. Going to be a very good player for us in years to come.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

give Yandle some time.. He'll come around and make his worth known come playoff time

 

[chuckd3534]

Of course he will strud...Step is an instant results kind of guy...LOL.

 

[Messiah717]

Here we go. Last regular season third period for the Rangers and Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

WE NEED A GOAL!....btw...love Kenny Albert on the radio

 

[Messiah717]

Kenny making his dad proud.

 

[Messiah717]

Glad Nash decided to take over a bit in the third. One away from 40.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yandle was supposed to be an instant difference maker. PP looks even worse with him.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Kenny making his dad proud.

yes, he may be a little homerish..but he is OUR guy...FUCK YOU EMERICK

 

[Messiah717]

The Rangers could be 64-0 and you would still be complaining.

 

[Ranger71]

I've been backing Boyle all year but he continues to not make smart plays.

 

[Stepupstepan]

C'omon Mess, Yandel has not made an ounce of difference so far.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Small sample size. Keep in mind what St Louis looked like when he joined the team last season. As long as he performs when they really need it (we don't need him right now) they will be fine. That being said, I too am unimpressed so far.

Talbot, stay in your net!
