GAME 2

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Crazy stat. We simply do not win game 2's. The way we operate. This one is a new level. 2-0 lead. Now too many men on the ice. Funny stuff.

Honestly, outside of a good 15 or so minutes I thought we controlled the game, but that doesn't matter. They win series where I knew it would be.

Now we go to a crazy building Tuesday night. We'll see.
 
1-1...

As Chuck and others have said another long physical 7 game series is upon us

I really thought the Rangers played pretty well today. Held Giroux to no shots again. Flyers were better, they played a really strong game

After watching Emery in the past 2.5 periods I am kind of ready for Mason to come back

2many men, if u didn't see that coming you haven't watched every rangers game in last 10 years
 
Not upset. We came out on fire. Took a 2-0 lead. We sagged and the Flyers manned up. Outside of that stretch I thought we controlled the game. Now we go to Philly 1-1, which was always going to be the way. And we will come home 2-2 next Sunday.

Oh well...just another great chance blow. Nothing new to see here except blew a 2-0 lead...that's the shame here.
 
AV has a major problem with pulling the goalie. Go to the f'ing bench if your going.
 
Still we will win in 5 I'm not impressed with the flyers.

Not so sure. If they don't want to come home down 3-1, they need to pick up their game on the defensive side. They blew a golden opportunity!

Cmon Al - Flyers played a very good game today. They play like that they are very hard to beat. I still think we will win this series but we arent winning the next 3 in a row
 
I thought we played pretty well also. Tip the cap to Philly. They raised their level when the game was on the line. We wilted for that stretch only...and it cost us.

I expect us to split in Philly but agree they gotta tighten up D and not give them pucks off the boards. Lundqvist also let in some rebounds today

They played better after they were down 3-2. Definitely not a complete game.
 
The Flyers played better but you need to win games where youre up by 2, thats an emotional letdown theyll have to get past.
 
Not a complete game Jam but they play like this they will win most nights
 
We will win a game in Philly. Not sure what is complicated here...7 GAME SERIES. I thought we outplayed them big time once it was 3-2. Out chanced them. They controlled the game for 15 minutes or so and won it. Tip the cap.
 
Should be used to it with this team. Game three is the big one in a seven game series.

As a fan, I expect the goalie to give up a few rebounds. As a player, you have to expect it as well and pick up anybody around the goal who may have an opportunity on that rebound. It's not like Hank made easy saves, and just carelessly gave up a rebound; they were good scoring opportunities that he had to go all out on. The defense has to be ready, and they need to get that puck out of harms way.
 
And they never will sc. No different than Ottawa, Wash, NJ...on and on. How we operate. The 2-0 lead after the great performance was the Rangers playing with their fans a little...LOL.
 
It is mind boggling how much this team sucks at the end of the games when they are down a goal.

This game also proved why Richards must be bought out. He is either on top of his game or he completely stinks and ineffective.
 
I actually thought Richards was fine. Nash 14 playoff games as a Ranger...ONE goal. Not much needs to be said about that.

Now Philly has some pressure off whereas if they go home 0-2 they press the issue and that wouldve played into the Rangers hands. Sure, tip the cap they fought back but these games can really mentally change both teams. It wouldve almost been better getting blownout, easier to blow off
 
I agree sc, but it is what it is. We had a 2-0 lead, wilted for 15 or so minutes, the Flyers showed a lot of heart and came back...we move on. All we can do.

Won't be easy to win in Philly, but we need to win one of the next two games. We have been a great road team, so get it done.

And BTW...McDonagh and Girardi need to up their games a little IMO.
 
I think theyll be ok and win a game there but like Jams said it was a golden opportunity to take command. Its the Rangers DNA i certainly get that. :)
 
It would also be nice for the Flyers to have their # 1 goalie. The BJ's not to lose Tyutin. The Bruins to have their missing dmen. The Blues to not lose Backes. NO EXCUSES.
 
I know it seems trivial but i would make the Carcillo/Diaz change next game. Carcillo was playing well, why take him out just because Dorsetts back?
