What a great period.

 

[bl02]

I predicted 7-3

Too bad you didn't guess one goal scorer correct j/k

 

[aufheben]

LOL the Shark's jimmies are RUSTLED

 

[bl02]

This is shocking

Well we didn't get probably our best offensive player back tonight.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

“Joe and me?” Sam you’re losing it buddy!

 

[Siddi]

Quick! Send Smith to fight them and set them straight.

Edit: I know, I am beating a dead horse...

 

[RGY]

The Waterboy just needed some water...

 

[mrjiggyfly]

I am listening to the SJ feed. But I am guessing that Joe was talking about the defensive stick work by Michael Grabner on the Skjei goal

 

[Fvital92]

AV is an idiot to play Kampfer and Smith over DeAngelo for all this time. The kid is so much better than these two that is not even funny.

 

[mrmovies779]

2 goal lead..most dangerous lead in hockey!

I'd rather have Smith than Staal, Holden or Kampfer, personally. Maybe others feel different. But he is very dumb for not playing ADA.

The defense has been bad most of the season including this game, but they are at least producing now. I doubt Skjei`s new contract is that expensive. But we have talked about AV system and all that - it`s part of the issue for sure.

 

[Krams]

They just showed a highlight of Datsyuk scoring vs the Islanders on the MSG 150 and I forgot how god awful those old Islanders 3rds were

Ada has been legit awesome....defensively.

I can't believe I'm saying that.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I don't think you guys realize how much we need to win this game.

I don’t think you realize how much we need to lose this game.

Okay. I don’t root for us to lose games. This is mostly tongue in cheek.

But honestly this team is better off coming home 0-4 and embarrassed and being forced to make some tough decisions than winning this game and “putting off” any reservations JG might have about pulling the trigger on some moves.

Listen guys, I’m not even saying we’re bad. I’m not saying tear it down. But every team needs young talent to stay competitive these days and we are fairly barren in that department. This year, whether we get in or not, is truly and simply NOT our year. It’s plain as day. Anyone who cannot or will not accept that is not living in reality. This team cannot win the Cup. We are already slightly outside of a wildcard position. Yes, we can claw our way to a 6-8 seed and see one, maybe two rounds, but that does not help us in any way. It doesn’t get us closer to Hank’s Cup. It does nothing. We cannot go further than that. But we are in a prime position to sell on UFAs, perhaps on more pieces, let ourselves fall into the bottom 10 for ONE year and we can literally be right back in the playoff race next year. This team needs two more 1st rounders, at least one in the top 10, so badly and we don’t have to endure a long, drawn out suckfest before wr can be good again. But we do need to see the light and make the right decisions this year. One year of saying “we aren’t good enough to be where we want to be” isn’t that big of a price to pay to set up our future to be MUCH brighter than it currently is. If we can draft once in the top 10 and again in the top 20, on top of Lias, Chytil, Shesty, Buch and ADA our future is bright. If we draft 27th and hold onto all our assets, the future is significantly less so.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I don't want to take credit here, but the Rangers started winning the moment I started drinking

 

[Ori]

Ryan Mc. is probably the first top 1st pairing defenseman in NHL who had used 50 games to score a goal - that says it all about this season. The guy is on pp too.

Never one to stick up for AV and I think ADA should be playing, buuut, we have this every year with some young guy. Clendening and McIlrath were both meant to be great, but haven't cracked the NHL even with AV out of the way. In fact, they're getting much less chance. Even guys like MDZ (at first) and Sauer (imo, unfortunately we never got to see) were rated insanely highly on these boards.
Let's wait and see with De Angelo. He is doing a lot right and a fair amount wrong out there. I like him better than some of the others, but will he be a regular NHL top 4? I hope so, but I'm doubtful.

Alcohol poisoning on the menu

You’re right.



Others do feel differently.

 

[RGY]

At least McDonagh finally scored. Finally.

Duncan Keith says hello.

Just useless stats - thats all.
