Rangers-Sharks thread

[kreidertime]

You would think the morons in the sports world would finally wake the fuck up and make all West Coast games vs. East coast teams start at 5:30 their time. Essentially, they are losing half their business because almost nobody here stays up to watch that shit.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I don't get why the game is on MSG plus and not the regular MSG.

The Knicks are playing soon so they need the channel clear for another 30 point loss.

 

[kreidertime]

LMAO. Yeah. Dolan wants his good team to have first billing.

 

[Ranger71]

Girardi and Hayes sinking the ship once again.

 

[Messiah717]

San Jose is going to have 50+ shots. I have no idea what happened to this team in regards to puck possession.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Hayes sucks. He doesn't hit, he's slow, etc . They def need to make a deal involving him

 

[Ranger71]

Oh well, 3 pts on the trip isn't awful i suppose.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Hahaha nice way to blow a game. This team isn't winning shit... Staal is our 3rd line center, our highest paid forward blows lol

LOL blow a game? They're lucky it's not 8-1.

 

[kreidertime]

It's the same rejects that cost this team game after game. Boyle, Hayes and Girardi. Sad to see Girardi start turning into Redden when his game went to crap. I see Girardi unless a team wants to take a chance on him ending up in the minors the last 3 years of his career. I said last week the defense is slow. He needs to put Skjei in there.

 

[kreidertime]

Not to mention Nash has to be dealt in the off-season. There is zero question of that.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

It was 1-1 going into the 3rd mess, they blew it

 

[Messiah717]

Blew what? When you were never leading and getting outplayed they were lucky to be at 1-1. Look at the shots on goal in this game. It's absurd.

 

[Ranger71]

I would definately think about using Skjei more the rest of the regular season and giving Girardi a few games off. Even in the playoffs SHOULD they make it(Chuck)

 

[Messiah717]

It goes back to last year with him. He was a monster up until he took a hit. Now, he's just a floater who's afraid of taking that final Lindros hit. It's painful watching him just take shot after shot from the outside.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Most weren't great shots at all except for when they started scoring.. I get it Mess, the Rangers wrecked your Saturday afternoon, it happens

 

[kreidertime]

AV if he had any brains which I'm not sure about any longer needs to tell Nash either drive the net and play fearless in the playoffs or you will sit. End of story.

It might be hopeless with Nash I'm afraid. When he was a beast last year I remember a lot of his goals came from the middle of the ice. That's his area. Now like I said he seems to only want to take low percentage perimeter shots. He fears going across the ice or so it seems.

 

[kreidertime]

Yep. Some team will think they can fix him. They should get a nice return because his contract doesn't have a lot of time left on it.

Lundqvist was making several outstanding saves or like I said the game would've been out of reach sooner. It's seriously not worth debating. The Sharks have 52 to shots right now to the Rangers 26.

 

[mrmel29]

Team that should be a lock is beginning to look like a team that could be the odd team out of the playoffs. Just an embarrassing effort today

 

[Messiah717]

Remember Lindros and his last two years in New York? Nash is looking like a repeat not to mention his playoff play could very well of cost this team a cup.

 

[Ranger71]

It could be the 3 games in 4 days a little today but the offensive production is way too erratic especially with Staal and Nash now in the lineup.

Well like Sam Rosen said the one good part is that seven of the last ten is at MSG.

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah, although i actually feel better when they play on the road.

 

[Stepupstepan]

They have sucked on the road all year except for a recent good stretch.

 

[Messiah717]

I think they have the second best home record in the league so that will hopefully be a plus. On the flip side I don't know if that's suddenly going to better the play of some of these guys.
