RANGERS-BRUINS THREAD

[mrmel29]

Big game today. Hope we get the chances against them we did at the garden. Cam in the nets. Del Z still here and probably will be till trade deadline unless someone really wants him and ups the ante from the crap we're being offerred.

 

[mrmel29]

Oops, cam out and lundquist in the nets

 

[dumpstralmannow]

Falk and Lucic will probably go and Falk should lose but at least he's standing up to him. Nobody else will on this team until McIlrath joins the squad.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

So far our forwards have their head up their ass with their defensive coverage.

 

[theProdigy223]

Who said Nash can't make his own chances? Not many guys in the league that can score that kind of goal.

 

[mrmel29]

Nash looking good out there. Before this is over hope dorsett runs that runt marchand through the boards. Like that falk though not overly talented sticks his nose into things. I think Lucic is a big pussy and tough around rangers due to their lack of size. When big mac gets up here hopefully shortly after new years he's gonna own that lucic bitch. Hope boston keeps chara out there with nash as nash is skating circles around that statue

 

[Ranger71]

They waste so many odd man chances by not finding the trailer.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

This team is so much better against Boston when Staal plays.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

your first post is my point dump. Would love to see someone just drop that loser

 

[mrmel29]

Hope I'm wrong but with bruin coach crying like a bitch all game expect a deluge of boston PP's in the third. Be a good win if rangers can get this one.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

they need to score that 3rd goal and not turn the 3rd period into the best goalie display in the history of the NHL

 

[mrmel29]

For gods sake mr. and mrs. boyle please buy poor defenseless 6'7" 245lbs brian some karate lessons so he has a mosicum of self respect left. That was embarrassing watching chara clean up the ice with him

 

[strudwickisthebest]

team stopped playing after the second goal

 

[strudwickisthebest]

this is pathetic, they're really playing for a shootout

 

[strudwickisthebest]

there it is

 

[chuckd3534]

Look, does strud go over the top...YES, but all you have to do is watch these games against big teams to see we cannot compete against the size of teams like the Bruins. I'd say the puck is in our end 75% of the time. And it's turnover after turnover.

And I'll give dump some credit here, Staal is just not good right now. Goal one he is literally standing by himself at the side of the net as the Bruins score off a cross ice pass. Goal 3 I have no clue what Staal was doing as he literally chipped the puck off the boards right to the Bruins, one pass and a goal. Staal needs to get his sh*t together.

 

[Messiah717]

Trying to nurse a 2-1 lead since the first period. I'm sick and tired of watching the same nonsense all the time.

 

[mrmel29]

This team gets intimidated against teams like the bruins. Can't outhit anybody and when they actually knock a bruin off the puck lucic comes in and cheapshots 3 rangers without response. Hard to watch

 

[chuckd3534]

Personally, I don't think it is intimidated, I just think the Bruins are way bigger and stronger, and impose their will on us. I do not think it is lack of effort overall, just too much size and pounding.

Guys like Richards, MZA, Brassard are almost useless against this size. Guys like Pyatt and Pouliot need to use their size against teams like these.

 

[chuckd3534]

This PP decides the game. That simple. Let's see if we can tie it. Come on...due for a PP goal.

 

[theProdigy223]

Yeah they're bigger and yeah I'd like to see this team have more size but John Scott is not going to help this team

 

[chuckd3534]

Why does Torts have Nash on the bench to start this PP while MZA is on ice.

 

[chuckd3534]

Of course Scott won't help this team, but it is what it is. The Bruins just pound us, and at this point big teams are terrible matchups for us.

And Torts has Nash OFF the 1st PP unit, and Girardi ON the 2nd PP unit. I don't get it.

 

[Messiah717]

No shots. Tells you everything you need to know.

 

[chuckd3534]

Like I said, no Nash on the 1st unit. Girardi on the 2nd unit. Very weird to me. AV channeling his inner Torts.

 

[mrmel29]

Richards and cally have been as useful as wet toilet paper.

 

[Ranger71]

They just don't have the staying power to hold off teams like this. Either the dmen do something stupid or the offense goes into a shell.

 

[Messiah717]

.500 team

 

[mrmel29]

Another well deserved loss

 

[strudwickisthebest]

that was pathetic, this team cannot handle bigger teams
