Hank and McDonagh come back for game three. The team rallies around the return of our best players as we go on to win four straight.
Please?

Anyone who watched the Blues/Hawks game last night knows the Rangers are not in the talent class necessary to win these days.

The only ones who don't see it are the Rangers organization, which is dangerous.

Particulary on defense, which looked awful. Not enough speed or size up front. Organization too reliant (again) on "name" players way past their prime (Nash, E. Staal).
Overall, still lots of very good players but need some young big fast newcomers (look at how JT Miller has become a real force).
And, BTW, Lundqvist looked quite shaky BEFORE the accident.
Picked Pens in 5, may well be in 4. Rangers organization needs to stop kidding themselves that they have a contender and start reloading.
Hope the bit about it not being permanent is good to hear. Hopefully that's true. Hellberg being recalled is concerning though given AV's comments about Hank being reevaluated today. I thought maybe he didn't return due to swelling during the intermission, but it did look like he mouthed something about not being able to see out of it to Rammer.
Wasn't real confident before, but if Hank is out, we're cooked.

this team has some holes defensively for sure
namely dan girardi is awful. his corsi numbers are terrible and he doesnt pass the eye test either. he's just bad.
the rest of the defense is passable to solid. not having mcd hurts.
however, this teams inability to finish and score goals- when the effort is there and they are outplaying their opponent, really hurts. outplaying and not outscoring is not outplaying. this has become this teams achiles. inability to score eventually results in losses.
in fact, inability to score results in losses and then we hear "we didn't play that bad" or "got unlucky" or worse, "I'm not that unhappy with this loss really, it was a good loss- we played well and just needed a few more bounces". we hear all of that which really says, we played, cant score and lost.
weve heard that all season. thats what losers say.
the offense (inability to score goals) or lack thereof has, is and continues to kill this team and ultimately will be responsible for our failure.

He looked on top of his game. Tracking the puck well, moving efficiently and quick.
They bury a goal or two against an unproven goalie in that first period it's an entirely different game. Instead all I hear is that zatkoff is an amazing goalie and our forwards did all they could to score. How about actually scoring when it matters . Yes the defense has regressed big time we know that but their inability to score that big goal has always haunted this team in the playoffs

A lot of people thought this organization's curse disappeared in 1994. I'm not so sure that's true anymore.

I remember when Sam Rosen said "This one will last a lifetime!" I cringed as the hockey God's may have taken him seriously.

This is a bad hockey team.
I'm curious why. All this team has shown is that they are significantly worse than the last two years.
True it takes 1-3 days to heal, however there is usually corneal swelling associated that affects vision for a little longer. As an eye doc, I think it is more than likely that he doesnt play Saturday.

Doesn't really matter what they did in the regular season, because after so many long years they stopped trying their best until the playoffs. That's a far cry from being 100% confident though, I think the Rangers odds of beating the Penguins in 7 is around 50-50. The defense and the coaching are major problems

It's better than a detached retina. I thought I had one 5 years ago...not fun.
If it is indeed a corneal abrasion, Lundqvist will be out Saturday at least. Monday may be a stretch.
Girardi or Boyle needs to sit and McIlrath should play(or both when Mac comes back). Would give us a better chance to win. It would never happen with AV as coach. I have more faith in 6 and 76 than 5 and 22.
