Game Thread Game 6: THE WE WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT GAME

[Ranger71]

McDonagh dosen't have that it factor. Nice player but not a true difference maker.

Typical hank... can't make the big save when you need him to

 

[Greyvtrayn]

They were playing like a different team when they were only down one....get another goal and this game will take on a new complexion.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I told my father ... gonna make it 2-1 then Lundqvist will let in the back breaker

 

[Stepupstepan]

McD is no Keith or Doughty or Karlsson, thats for sure.

 

[mrmel29]

One captain is playing like a captain..the other is a ghost

Can't say it better than that AL

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Typical hank... can't make the big save when you need him to

Wow look what the cat brought in

 

[mrmel29]

Don't even need any extra blood pressure pills tonight.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Not sure hank had much of a chance on the Karlsson goal either....top corner, short side on a back pass from below the goal line.

 

[Messiah717]

Hard to compare anyone to Karlsson.

This is the ONLY game Ottawa has outplayed us in. Like I said earlier, we'll focus on the wrong things. The Rangers totally controlled the series prior to this game. This series is not about this game. This series is about one team having total control, leading or tied virtually the whole series into game 6, having numerous 2 goal leads while the other team had none. Coach makes awful late game personnel decisions. Players (including Hank) come up small in late game situations. Ottawa, to their 100% credit, keeps battling and comes back and wins games 2 & 5 they never should have won. And we had nothing left for game 6 while Ottawa was filled with confidence.

That's the series, not game 6.

 

[Ranger71]

How about Smith with the weak job taking out Ryan on the last goal. C'mon man.

There's been awful play from everybody including Smith who everyone thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I wouldn't want to look for Nash, your not going to find him

 

[Stepupstepan]

Nash actually has had a good game. I move him in the offseason though at the draft.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Pretty harsh from Milbury...but, not without merit.

 

[Messiah717]

Nash has actually had a good playoffs. In other years he was a void but this is one instance where the guy can't be expected to do it by himself out there. Many bigger culprits and the one I'm disappointed in the most is Kreider. He better be playing hurt with how bad and heartless he has been playing.

 

[Ranger71]

Hayes and Stepan have been most pathetic imo but Kreider has been below average.

 

[Messiah717]

Watching this team also has been scratching my head as to why Shattenkirk would be any kind of answer. He's another small guy which doesn't address what the Rangers could use on defense. Give me a big hard nosed guy who can clear the crease.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

You can thrown Miller and Hayes in there with Kreider for sure....although I am sure they are both playing with injuries...especially Miller.

 

[Stepupstepan]

everyone but Skjei and Buch should be available in the offseason.

 

[mrmel29]

Get the first goal here and we still have a comeback in us

 

[Ranger71]

Just as we mention him.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Now Hank better not let in the back breaker

 

[mrmel29]

Yeah Kreids. back in this one again

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

There we Go!

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Great move Kreider! Back to a one goal game. This is going to be an interesting finish!

You mean like Dylan?

 

[Messiah717]

Reverse psychology worked for Kreider but it doesn't excuse his constant disappearing acts.

 

[Messiah717]

You mean like Dylan?

Somebody who could actually play.
