Rangers-Pens Game 2

[chuckd3534]

They lost because of stupidity ... and that's all.

? What stupidity? Not scoring on 75 PP chances and not playing with nearly enough energy and passion = stupidity? I disagree.

They lost because of special teams and not nearly enough passion in this game. Pens wanted it much more.

 

[chuckd3534]

You are an idiot strud...LOL.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

... The jets goalie

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Chuck Lundqvist is
Being outplayed by Fluery. He was out of position on 2 of the goals tonight, especially the 4th goal

 

[chuckd3534]

Okay. He sucks. Team sucks. Game over down 3-1 after 2. We'll see you next season.

I 100% expect the Rangers will do what they do. Play with no life one game, and come back with a big effort the next game. So I'd expect a big game 3, but it does frustrate the hell out of me that this team still cannot play with a series lead and step on the throat of a team. Really pisses me off. I was hoping by now they would have understood how to handle that, but I guess not.

Tonight's game should have been a brawl. Any Penguin trying to skate to the front of the net, should have been knocked on his ass. The Rangers didn't play playoff hockey for 2 periods, the Pens did, and it cost them. Hopefully they will learn from it.

We get it, struds...you have no idea what you're talking about, you don't have to keep reminding us.

 

[Pastafazul]

for those who continue to believe 1 bad call by a ref in a game can't change the complexity, decide a game , its just sad.....

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I didn't say he sucks. And the team did suck tonight

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Ummhmm what? When I say roster moves I mean lines on the PP not Talbot over Hank or anything like that.

You called me out for being a Homer about penalty calls then you hitched about the call on kreider

 

[Rangers94]

Hank is NOT the issue. The PP is the number one issue, and our back checking needs to get much better. Hopefully Klein is back next game...not sure who'd I sit though, Hunwick or Boyle.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

He let in 4 goals, he was great

 

[Messiah717]

Like I said they lost. There's no reason to keep going over and over and over it.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I didn't say Hank is the issue but he needs to be better. PP needs to be better, D needs to be better

 

[Rangers94]

You called me out for being a Homer about penalty calls then you hitched about the call on kreider

I didn't call you a homer for that. I just said that I expected some soft calls against us. Didn't mean for it to be taken that way. Sorry my man!

Seriously Strud, the goalie can only do so much. Sometimes the defense needs to there job, and clear out the front of the net preventing wide open shots.

And who the hell is Chuck Lundqvist?

The guy that posts on this board

 

[strudwickisthebest]

That's ur new name Chuck, Chuck Lundqvist

 

[NYR31]

Struds, time to hit the shower, man. You're making no sense.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Defense does need to be better in front of him but he needs to be there to cover for them.

THATS THE PROBLEM!! It's not Hank in there it's his cousin Chuck Lundqvist. Someone get Hank back in there!

 

[chuckd3534]

You are really over complicating this guys. Special teams and they wanted it more tonight...that is all.

All the other stuff is fluff on the outside. Our PP is 1-7. They go 2-2 to start on their PP. We didn't play with nearly enough passion or fight tonight.

What we do just about every time we have a chance for a 2 game lead in a series. Outside of the Montreal series we never take 2 game leads. Business as usual. We'll be much better in game 3 I'd expect.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Fuckin relic Boyle, AHLer Hunwick

 

[Disturbed]

Other then all the penalties the Pens played a strong game. Rangers passing this series has been bad and they have not played great the first 2 games. I expect the Rangers to play a great game in G3

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Yea on to game 3.. No reason to argue until 2am

Oh really?
Sutter wide open in front of the net, and Step fails to put a body on him.
Crosby skates right by McDonagh, to tap-in the easiest playoff goal he will ever score
Kunitz all alone in front of the net to give the Pens another 2 goal lead

 

[chuckd3534]

That simple Dis. Again this is the same thing we see series after series with this team. No surprise to me. Give the Pens credit. We need to want it MUCH more. And we need to do better on our PP.

Game 3 will be tough in their building, but we are a great road team, so get a win. Hopefully we can win in 6, because we should not be going 7 against this team.

 

[Messiah717]

Defense does need to be better in front of him but he needs to be there to cover for them.

Lets forget the 99.9 percent of the time he always is and keep beating this shit to death until 2am.

Agree to disagree jam. I don't think stupidity had anything to do with it quite honestly. When I think stupidity I think dumb penalties. I think many sloppy TO's.

What I saw was them kill us on special teams and want it much more than us, leading to those things you mentioned. That is not stupidity my friend. That is one team playing for their lives and another not at that level tonight.
