GDT: 4/5/16 - 7:30PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ New York Rangers

[AlphaCatalyst]

With all our troubles, we'll end the season with 45 wins at the very least.

That's 1 less than 2011, 2004, and 2014.

Now that's crazy.

That seems unpossible

 

[Brie]

I missed that.

Oh ouch, but it didn't look bad from the hit but it looked bad when he fell.

 

[xteesy]

he FELL... boyle BARELY touched him. Seriously could the f&#(ing zebras make it any easier for them...

 

[The Gongshow]

It didn't even look like much force was thrown into that hit, looked like a bump and Girardi fell hard into the boards

 

[Brie]

Engblom for the NBCSN is weird.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yandle has been a ***** all game

 

[DFC]

Tonight was just Lundqvist beating Vasy.

 

[gstommylee]

That's boarding?

 

[Brie]

Well, that was that, it was fun while it lasted in the 1st, then we got a 5 minute PP and couldn't come back.

 

[wxkid23]

Team doesn't deserve fans

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

And that's mostly thanks to the to the big guy in net.

Nodoubt, but we did enough in front of him to win them.

That seems unpossible

Yeah, definitely not how we'll remember this season. I also keep in mind too, some teams like Toronto have never even won more than 45 games in a season.

 

[Brie]

Tonight was just Lundqvist beating Vasy.

Yeah, wish we would have played Vasy last night and Bish tonight, now we end up osing both games so nothing you can do about that.

 

[The Gongshow]

This team

 

[Hoek]

Yeah, wish we would have played Vasy last night and Bish tonight, now we end up osing both games so nothing you can do about that.

Yep that would have been ideal.

Still think plenty of blame goes to the PP though. Should have made it 3-0 at least, and then the Rangers give up.

 

[Lovethiscity]

Team doesn't deserve fans

then go watch basketball

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

1st half was very good, 2nd half was not, and that was enough for the Rangers. You can take the positives, but this is a stinker.

 

[The Gongshow]

So I guess this team can't win without Hedman and Stamkos give them all the money

 

[Kramerica Industries]

2-0 lead --> 3-2 loss.

Don't really care about how the game unfolded; there's no excuses, and just even more reason why no one can have any faith in this team at present.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Fell asleep the majority of the 3rd period, woke up with ~2 minutes left, down 3-2. So that was frustrating. Then seeing Boyle being kicked out for nothing added on. Then watching us lose, after we played so well at first added on even more.

I haven't been this mad after a loss in a while.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

So I guess this team can't win without Hedman and Stamkos give them all the money

Didnt you get the memo on the simple and super likely way we make up for Stamkos' absence?

It's easy:

Johnson produce more
Palat produce more
Callahan produce more
Filppula produce more
Names produce more
Paquette produce more
Boyle produce more
Blah blah blah blah blah...


See? Should be simple.

 

[Glide5]

Well... seems like this team just does its best to make me wonder why I try to stick up for them. Not surprised they choked. Just couldn't handle getting a good start.

The powerplay is just a travesty. This is probably what, the 10th game this year where this aweful powerplay cost the game. We had so much time in the second and got nothing. Whoever is in charge needs to be relieved of their duties and fired. We can find someone competent to run it.

 

[MattM92]

I don't care how many injuries we have. I don't care if we have the ****ing kids from the Mighty Duck movies out there. If you get a 2-0 lead early and then go on a 5 minute PP...inexcusable.

This game came down to special teams. There weren't any soul crushing softies. The team wasn't destroyed at 5 on 5. It came down to us having the most pathetic and limp dicked PP I have ever seen.

That would be King Koopa.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Good thing we don't have to worry about scoring goals, right Coop?

Whoever runs our PP needs to be taken out back, beaten with a hose, and then fired immediately. If it's Cooper, I'll allow him to skip the hose-beating. Absolutely unacceptable. Countless times, has our PP cost us a game this season. NO EXCUSES with the firepower we have.

I'll never forget that Vancouver game til I die.

I have no confidence in this team. Likely matchup is Detroit in round 1. Things need to change...and by that I mean within the next few days and this summer. Bring in somebody to help the PP. Bring in an offensive dman. Bring in some heart and determination cause the last two got left in Chicago last June.
