That sucked but they played pretty well and showed this could be a series.
 
Listening to these guys on MSG is funny. Don't give Girardi a pass and say everyone left the zone...he should have eaten it. And Duguay saying the Rangers should feel good about how they played means we are in HUGE trouble. Outshot 20-4 in the 3rd. We should feel good about that...LOL.
 
Well the positives after the Hags goal the team played pretty bad. Nobody was really sharp except Hags and Hank. Kreider was invisible for hte most part. Nash was an abortion. Staal and Girardi were bad. Stepan was terrible. Richards? St Louis? Really outside of Hank and Hags nobody really played well.

2 brutal turnovers in a SC Final lead to 2 goals Outshot 20-3 in 3rd. You just are not going to win.

I am not sure they are going to be able to win game 2 as I fear the Kings....But they will play better.

We have Hank. We have a shot. I expect more OT games in this series.

Yes for 2 periods. They need to show they can do it for 3 periods. For all the good play we got very few decent chances after our 2nd goal...very few.

Take your panties off Al...combative...LOL. I am not combative at all. You are a little defensive. Why would I be combative over what you said? Come on man. Funny.

Let's see people questioned a few calls and there you were on chuckisland going against the board. ..I make a comment about the 94 team losing game 1 and here you are its not the same...your right the kings dont have one of the great players like bure on their team. Your response will be typical passive agressive so dont even bother.

Yup for sure..but give LA some credit there too for shutting it down in the 3rd. Comes down to converting in transition and getting help from the pp.
 
Passive aggressive...you nailed it Al...LOL. I am enjoying this...please keep it coming.

Chuckisland is awesome. People should come visit. I know I was combative by saying this is way different than 94, so I am so sorry for that...LOL.

Good stuff bro. Got your A game tonight.

This is what we should be talking about after game 1 of the SCF...we agree there...:).
 
I don't believe in fearing teams. The bottom line is that they're stepping up in class playing the Kings and need to play better. I said earlier during the game that I saw a lot of failed clearing attempts and turnovers against Montreal. They didn't make the Rangers pay like the Kings did tonight and will during the series if it continues. The game winner was a complete disaster from Girardi on every front. Complete with him panicking and just throwing the puck away from this knees.

No doubt, I give LA all the credit sc, that's the point, they are very good and we simply cannot afford to blow chances like this.
 
Unless you have had your head up your ass you need to see that this is what the Kings do. They sit back and wait for their chances and they don't give up. The Rangers didn't blow anything tonight. They simply didn't play well enough for 60 minutes to win tonight against a very good hockey team.
 
Well, that's where we agree to disagree Mess. To me we 100% blew a huge chance tonight. When you go up 2-0, and then get into OT in game 1 on the road that is a huge chance to steal one Mess. So we disagree there for sure. We agree on everything else, but we disagree there. All good.

Yeah for sure it was an opportunity lost and tough to swallow but i like the way they looked for the most part. Most part.lol

If you have watched the playoffs the Kings have done it several times. A 2-0 lead means shit against them if you stop playing. When you get outshot 20-3 in the third you're just lucky to get to an overtime. You can't play one period and expect to win.
 
For sure, that is what the Kings do big time. BUT that still doesn't mean we didn't blow a huge chance to steal one Mess, IMO we did.

We played well for 2 periods, and then shut it off, I agree. But 2-0 is 2-0. We had a great chance to steal it. We didn't and wilted in the 3rd/OT. We move on to a must win Saturday night game 2.

Is what it is.
 
Bad bounce? I saw Girardi fall on his a**. I defer to AV, but not sure I agree there. He knows better, so maybe it was a bad bounce. What do I know.
 
I feel more confident after watching this game about the series than i did going in. Getting one win for sure there would've awesome, but with the way this team responds and is coached at least we know they won't get mentally down. If they had lost 4-1 with an empty netter i'd probably feel it's over in 5. It's not like we blew a 3-0 lead, they just chipped and won on a blunder. Sucks but it was an even game.

Well before he fell the puck bounced over his stick. He just made a terrible decision to try and throw the puck up the boards from his knees.
 
It was an even game if you throw out the 3rd/OT sc...:).

Look, I agree with you. You cannot panic now. We win Saturday and we got exactly what we needed.

Until then...:).
 
Yes Mess. But like you said the issue wasn't the bounce, the issue was him falling on his ass and instead of eating it he made a weak pass to a King.

After the puck bounced he got nervous, I am sure that is why he fell...panic.

Too many guys didn't have their heads in the game tonight either. Nash, Richards, St. Louis and Stepan just to name a few were completely clueless.

I said that. His panic decision to just throw the puck to the point was absurd.
 
:) They had a bunch of chances 3/2 that as usual weren't converted so even with a nonexistent 3rd they couldve had 4/5 goals. LA also gave up a sh goal so thats a blunder on their part.
 
Anyone else have a problem with msg freezing up here and there?
 
I've never seen a team blow more odd man rushes than the Rangers. A lot of times can't even get a shot.

Stepan is just pathetic so i expect nothing more from him right now. And I'm biting my tongue on Girardi you know generally how i feel about him, though im sure he feels awful.
 
Oh my god, the rangers lost in OT in game 1 on the road. This guys sucks, that guy sucks. Trade that guy, replace all centers. The team is in the stanley cup finals for the first time in gazillion years. Lets have some faith here, guys. Struds and pasta already jumped ship as soon as the rangers are down. What else is new.
 
Not jumping ship Step but I really felt they hd a chance to win this game. They made dumb mistakes. Girardi, Stepan, and Dorsett is the reason why the Kings scored.

And the only reason I mentioned I might not watch the game is because I will have to switched plans I made and I'm not sure I want to do that. On the other hand, I can't imagine missing a game 2. I'll be in transit during game 3 and will def miss it. I'm not happy about that.
