Post-Game Talk: #42 - Bruins @ Rangers

[Jaromir Jagr]

Rick Nash could score 9 goals in a game and ODC would say he still played like ****. It's really not a measure of how he plays. Nash has quite easily been our best forward alongside Zucc and Brass all year. He has 2 years left on his contract and is worth every single penny.

This is also the guy who thinks McIlrath should be traded because "he can't make it into the lineup."

 

[Miamipuck]

either one, you are wrong sir.

Awesome, enlighten every one here with your pointed analysis that everyone enjoys so much.

Don't put it on me, you said I watch the game in braille, I am blind. If I am blind, my opinion is thereby worthless. Which is cool, your opinion, which we all know is always right and very important.

You will give your opinion on Nash and McIlrath in a thread on the best movies of the 1990's. So if your opinion is so important that we all have to see it 150 times in every thread, lets see your analysis.

fair enough

i gave my analysis.

he was awful last night. he was invisible (again) and lacking effort. he looked slow and disengaged. i saw a few shots and a few attempts at passing. but for the most part, and for the minutes he gets, he was his usual playoff rick nash self.

your turn and please complete your assignment this time.

i want your opinion on rick nash last minute of last nights game along the wall where he was impersonating a 4th liner. imo, he pulled it off, he looked like a 4th liner who failed to do his job.

fyi, i voted for him as a sympathy vote.

 

[Miamipuck]

I will post after work around 7pm

this is either severe trolling or its watching in braille.

either one, you are wrong sir.

Nash for Lisin.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Nash for Lisin.

[PromNite]

My favorite part of the game is when they played Love Lies Bleeding between play.

9 goals a game? That would be awesome! Ironically Rick Nash only has around 9 goals this season so far that were not shot in to a empty net after the goalie was removed.

He's got 12 at the moment (according to the stats), believe it or not. I don't remember having him that many. I was thinking he had around five.

I do not know if you read what I said in its entirety. I said, Ironically Rick Nash only has around 9 goals this season so far that were not shot in to a empty net after the goalie was removed.

Advanced stats - need context, do not tell whole story, spreadsheet, etc.

Goals - they tell all.

 

[mike14]

We are we so down on EN goals? If we had of been able to score one yesterday the last minute wouldnt have been such a cluster ****. Can think of a few other games where that was the case as well

Need to put Nash on the ice more often when the other team has an empty net.

 

[Levitate]

I'd freakin' laugh at how bad this team would be without Nash on it

 

[aufheben]

Had the same exact thought earlier.

 

[Machinehead]

Goals the last three years

It's not even close...

Then again the criticism comes from people who think the Rangers can't score...

So I think the expectations of scoring in today's league need to be adjusted.

 

[Mac n Gs]

"Nash was invisble last night" --> only forward creating chances in the second period and had to carry Stegna last night

 

[Machinehead]

And yes Rick Nash is having a disappointing 15-16 by Rick Nash standards - 0.72 g/60.

I think we'll live after he was everything we paid for and then some from 12-13 to 14-15.

And BTW he STILL leads the Rangers in points/60 in his disappointing season. Nash's worst is still our team's best.

80% of those are goals he scored are after we are already up by 2 goals or down by 3 goals...so they don't count.

 

[Siamese Dream]

When Nash is having a good game you notice, he'll skate down the wing protecting the puck then drive towards the net and it makes the goalie poop their pants

That is when he's most effective, sometimes he doesn't score in the game but he is driving the play, creating offense

The Rangers' offensive gameplan this season seems to be skate down the wing and wildly throw a blind pass across the middle of the ice before they reach the top of the faceoff circle and hope it reaches the guy on the far side without being broken up
