rangers vs oilers

[Pastafazul]

lookin for a big win 2nite.

very easy for team to to fall into a rut, oilers beat us on our ice, time to avenge it... this is their playoffs so rangers better be ready.

talbot in net, don't know if i love the idea, thought he should have gotten start a few games back... sobeit!!

hope AV figured out way to fill in for what kreider did for team, its been enough time.

saw carcillo was on first line in another thread, don't even have a clue as to where that idea came from, i want him in game but 1st line? thats scary man! hope i'm wrong!


LETS GO RANGERS

 

[Pastafazul]

shots shots shots!!!!!!

 

[SaveLundy]

Well Carcillo is on the first line tonight after all. I cant imagine for the whole game, need 2 points tonight.

 

[NYNole28]

When was the last time Stepan won a faceoff? He's horrible on faceoffs lately I feel like.

 

[Pastafazul]

nash breaks through and....................................

 

[Messiah717]

Great job Nash.

 

[Pastafazul]

a lot of talk about st louis not scoring, team has won 5 of 6 during... bigger issue to me is the PP , we have scored what 2 in last 25 if that? i think thats more of an issue then st louis

 

[Pastafazul]

stepan has had more open nets .... just wow

It certainly is a huge difference when you're team that plays a lot of close games.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, the PP needs to get going. As for Nash he just frustrates me. He does that same move all the time. Sometimes one move and rip it man.

 

[NYNole28]

Ticks me off how Stepan sits on the bench laughing when he fails at every part of his job. Can't win faceoffs, can't set up play makers with nice passes, can't score. It's like he thinks he's getting paid to be inept.

He held out so we get to watch his bullshit. He's nothing special at all. There's 200 of the same kind of player in this league.

 

[Pastafazul]

YESSSSSSSSSS zookster deflects and he scores good job poiuliot!!!!!

 

[chuckd3534]

Nice deflection by MZA. Rangers have played well and controlled the play. Good stuff to see. Keep it up and bury a few more.

 

[NYNole28]

Oh god. A Toronto review.....in our favor!!???!?? Wow

 

[Pastafazul]

lol is there any team in league that has their goals reviewed more????

 

[Pastafazul]

theres that whistle, lol puck crossed right infront of the refs nose

 

[chuckd3534]

MSL just cannot score...LOL. At least he is shooting tonight. That is his way out of this I believe. Keep shooting.

 

[Pastafazul]

here we go again!!!!!!!! this is BS already ok boyle f'ed up

 

[NYNole28]

Fucking trade Stepan this offseason. He's trash. Cannot win a faceoff to save his life. Useless as a center overall. Just get rid of him and get some picks or whatever you can.

 

[chuckd3534]

Good solid period. Keep it up fellas...we need these 2 points.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

That's a bs call, that ref is a jackass

I wouldn't be opposing to trading him if we weren't so thin at center.

 

[NYNole28]

Trade him for a #2 C, and sign Statsny. Done and done.

 

[SaveLundy]

why trade stepan for a #2 center when he is one. Ive been wondering what San Jose would be willing to move for Nash, Nash and thorton are buds.

Because most #2 Centers can actually win faceoffs and set up players on their lines. Stepan does neither. He makes no one on his line better, does not create plays, does not score goals, and can't win faceoffs. He's winning 45% of his faceoffs this year, and I'd be willing to be that's a lot lower in the past month.

 

[NYNole28]

Problem with PP is that they're still too passive. Not being aggressive enough. No one timers. Instead they're skating in with the puck, trying to find the perfect pass instead of throwing the puck at the net and getting a rebound and getting a dirty goal.

 

[Pastafazul]

17 more and i'm buyin

 

[NYR31]

3-0, this game is over.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Playing great road game so far. MSL is playing his best game since the trade.
