Game 3

[Messiah717]

Nash goes down as just another one of those disasters that came to New York and forgot how to play.

 

[NYR31]

and my God, losses are that much worse b/c they mean having to put up with Struds. What a clown.

 

[chuckd3534]

That's it 31. Must win. I would like a goal tonight even for show to break the ice. Imagine back to back shutouts by MAF/Pitt...wow.

 

[chuckd3534]

HIT THE NET MCDONAGH.

 

[Ranger71]

Sad thing is Pitts offense hasnt even gotten going and they cant take advantage.

 

[chuckd3534]

Just pisses me off. The PP cost us game 2 and game 3 IMO. We have played pretty well tonight, just PP failures killed us. Shame really. That one aspect of our game has destroyed us.

I predict a nice win in game 4. BUT I will say it is either a nice win or we no show and get rolled. One of the two IMO.

I hate saying this, but unless Nash is able to breakthrough and do something, I think I will join those who have been saying trade him.

31 your're the king of clowns

 

[Messiah717]

This is downright pathetic. Shut out twice in a row. Real change of culture around here.

 

[chuckd3534]

Hard to not feel that way jam. 1 goal in 22 playoff games as a Ranger now. Not much else to say.

We have made MAF look like Hasek...that is pretty funny. We have made him look like a star.

 

[Ranger71]

In typical fashion theyll score with 50 seconds left and then pull the goalie with 20 lol

 

[chuckd3534]

Good way to end it. With another failed PP...LOL.

Season on the line Wednesday night. We'll see.

Down two with two minutes is not early to pull a goalie

If you told me Hank would allow 2, 2, and 2 goals in the first 3 games I would say worst case 2-1, and maybe even 3-0 us. That's what's crazy.

 

[chuckd3534]

That was actually funny Richards and Stepan.

 

[jamsim67]

And still, they have a hard time shooting the puck ... amazing

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

6-4 and still no shoots, great game plan

Simply amazing. 3 posts. Cannot complete passes. We cannot score. HATE that we couldn't get 1 to at least break the ice for Wednesday. That bothers me.

 

[Messiah717]

This is an absolute disgrace. They should be ashamed.

 

[chuckd3534]

That last two minutes were pathetic...just pathetic.

Well, to me 1st goal is everything in game 4. If they score first we can pack it in. Not scoring is so deep in our heads now. We need to score 1st and feel good for a little while. Season on the line. Must win. That simple.

 

[chuckd3534]

Thank god I will be at game 4 not tonight. If I was there I would be PISSED.

 

[Ranger71]

They need to stop thinking and start doing.

 

[jamsim67]

WoW ... No other way to say it. It's not like Pittsburgh came into this game and outplayed the Rangers, just the opposite.

I don't know why the Rangers are trying to skate with the Penguins, they should be trying to hit them early and often.

 

[Messiah717]

I would be annoyed if I had wasted money on game four tickets.

 

[jamsim67]

Thank god I will be at game 4 not tonight. If I was there I would be PISSED.

You're not pissed?

 

[chuckd3534]

Right, that is the point sc. That is the mental part now. It is totally in their heads. The PP has flat out ruined this teams confidence.

I am not giving up though. One huge effort win on Wednesday and we are right back in this. Seems worse than it is since we have been shutout by Pitt and MAF back to back games, and have 1 OT goal in 8 + periods...sad.

But the reality is we win on Wednesday and we are even, and have the MO heading back to Pitt.

We actually played pretty well tonight. Hit 3 posts, and clearly have mental issues now.

 

[chuckd3534]

Why Mess? This is where we go too far. It is 2-1 Pitt. We win Wednesday and this series is a tossup IMO. So not sure why you would say that Mess.

And of course I am pissed jam, but if I paid and was in that building I would be furious seeing zero goals.

 

[jamsim67]

I know, I was kidding

 

[chuckd3534]

Step back and forget the score for a minute, we actually played pretty well. Now we just need a fucking goal.

 

[jamsim67]

With the Rangers, It always seems like the team they have the mental issues with is the Pens. This is not the first time they've outplayed them and lost. In order to win this series, they need to take a page out of the Flyer's playbook, and beat the shit out of them.
