Game 5 at Pens...Dan Girardi will return today/Dan Boyle to be scratched

[Disturbed]

Scrubs have been killing this team for years. This series no different.

This offseason is going to be very interesting and difficult.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

HL has sucked fucking dick this series, yeah it's not all on him, but he hasn't been anywhere near good

 

[strudwickisthebest]

It's the same thing every year with this team, our fucking stud defensemen are always playing hurt. Not for nothing but McDonagh is at best a second pairing defenseman, nowhere near the top defenseman in the league

 

[Messiah717]

Hank has let in some bad ones but you're expecting him to steal games where the entire team is playing like trash. He's left hung out to dry more often then not. My issue with Hank is what he's being paid. $8.5 million against the cap is a million more than the leagues #2 paid net minder.

 

[Ranger71]

Guess they got some revenge after we burned them the last few years.

 

[Disturbed]

Not really sure the Rangers from goal out toDmen and forward could have played any worse this series.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Lol Diaz. In one game he does what this nobody on this team can do

 

[Messiah717]

The biggest issue with this year's team is the speed is gone. They're beaten all over the ice far too often.

 

[Ranger71]

The lone bright spot is Skjei getting some good experience to end the year.

It was bound to happen. Long run after long run wears you down. For the first time in many years we will be done in April, and that's okay. Take the ton of extra time off and rededicate for next season.

I am happy they got embarrassed instead of losing a long tough series. Games 4 and 5 were pathetic, and should be used to motivate the offseason, and tell Gorton/Sather they need to make some real moves this summer. And that is good to me. Like 6 or 7 different players here. I am not upset we lost as pathetically as we did. That is a positive if we were going to lose.

To me it starts with at least one of Staal or G gone. All the UFA's should be allowed to walk. Hayes gone if he can be used as a chip to deal Staal or G...if not maybe back at 2 mill per tops. Nash we'll see. I am all for dealing him if we can, we'll see if we can.

That's a start to me. 6 or 7 different players. If all 3 of Nash, Staal, G are on the team next season we are in trouble. I think at least 1 of the 3 is gone, and the UFA's as well.

After watching AV's stupidity with McIlrath and his love affair again with Glass, I want him outta here.

 

[Ranger71]

That Cullen goal in game 3 was the backbreaker of the series. That really mentally shocked the Rangers into game 4.

 

[Messiah717]

Too many of the same types of players on this roster. You need some guys with an edge to their game like Lucic or Kessel.

 

[Disturbed]

Special teams killed them this series and the PK killed them all year

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Kessel doesn't have an edge to his game

 

[Disturbed]

Kessel can score that's it

 

[Messiah717]

The Rangers wish they had a Kessel on their roster.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yeah, kessel the cherry picker is exactly what they need...LOL Sign him up for 8 years/7 mill a year so he can coast around 80 percent of the time. We already have Kreider doing that.

 

[Messiah717]

When I see some 30 goal seasons out of Kreider we can talk. The Rangers didn't have an answer for Kessel all season. Then again they didn't have one for Stempniak either.

 

[Disturbed]

Kessell had a really good series but he isn't what this team needs.

 

[cagedlion]

I can see it now. Gorton calls Sather
in Edmonton and says, "What do we
do now?" Sather responds, "I don't
have a fucking clue; it's all on you now."

This team is fucked. LOL

“The way they play the game, that’s what we used to do to teams,” Rangers forward Derick Brassard said, noting that Penguins Coach Mike Sullivan was an assistant with the Rangers from 2009 to 2013. “And they did it to us now.”
