[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

I think I’m playing with good structure, but then I lose my structure a little bit when we as a group lose our structure.
So together here we need to regroup and be better. We have to talk about this obviously, address it, and correct it.
- Henrik Lundqvist

We made a couple of mistakes with the puck and the puck was in our net.
But they weren’t little mistakes, they were big mistakes, and then it just snowballed from there.
- Marc Staal

It’s a game of mistakes. You have to give them an opportunity to play through them and contribute, find a way to bounce back.
In that game, it didn’t go the way Mike anticipated.
- Alain Vigneault​

LGR. Let's get back on track.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Seth Rothman ‏@RothmanHockey 13m13 minutes ago
Jeff Skinner (concussion) is on the ice, but appears unlikely to play tonight.

 

[nevesis]

“@AGrossRecord: Looks like Anton Khudobin in net for the Hurricanes tonight but Jeff Skinner (concussion) still iffy and both Eric and Jordan Staal out.”

 

[iamthewalrus]

Predictions:

Hank looks phenomenal
Duclair and Zuccarello score
Nash's new dad powers keep on rollin
3-1 W





LGR, get back on track tonight

 

[silverfish]

Missing this one.

Hopefully Duke and Hayes stay effective. McD, G, and Staal get their heads out of their ***es, and Hank comes up big for the 'W'.

This place is going to be a **** show tonight if the Rangers lose.

LGR

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Really hoping we can use Carolina to get get on track here.

 

[NYR89]

Duke has to get his first eventually....He's been buzzing all season.

 

[RGY]

I think Duclair scores tonight. He has been good since the first game.

Nash needs to continue playing like a man possessed.

The team needs to buy into defensive zone coverage. They did for 2/3 of last game.

But most importantly, that ******* Kostka isnt in.

 

[Vickers8]

Glad AV kept the same lines, lines were good the other night, the defensemen were not, Hunwick on 2nd pair is a problem

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

neither Staal is playing tonight for Carolina. there's no excuses.

Edit, and now neither is Sekera or Skinner..

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Carolina's assist leaders...

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

There's zero reason to lose tonight. The 4 best players on Carolina are out.

 

[Ail]

Loss.

 

[Raspewtin]

This isn't even a trap loss. This is literally a win for the taking. There's absolutely no excuse to lose here, even with Stepan and Boyle out.

 

[pld459666]

This games is a no win situation.

The Canes are brutal, so unless we curb stomp these ****ers 6-1 while outshooting them 40-15 or some crooked score/shot total like that, the questions of d-zone coverage and responsibility will remain un-answered.

Need a complete 60 minute effort.

 

[Loff]

You can't lose this one. You just can't. It's against the ****ing rules of life.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

They have to destroy this team tonight, not neccessarily 6 goals or whatever, but holding the puck, getting 40 shots on goal, etc etc.

 

[RGY]

The way this team has peppered goalies with shots i dont see them losing. They are playing against a very battered carolina team. Keep shooting the puck

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

The way this team has peppered goalies with shots i dont see them losing. They are playing against a very battered carolina team. Keep shooting the puck

agreed, the offense really isn't the problem.. its stopping the other team that's the problem right now.

 

[Kokoschka]

Jay Harrison plays on their first pairing. Jay ****ing Harrison.

I want a win tonight. Don't care much about the "how" tbh, 2 points are 2 points.

 

[Ail]

Not that I would ever cheer against the Rangers (large bets aside) but this is the kind of game you'd like to see them lose just for the comedy factor on these boards. Incredible potential. Tremendous upside for the lulz.

 

[Kovalev27]

got news for everyone matt hunwick was the best dman we had in the game he played. he is not the problem

AV is spot on Girardi (who looks like he just wants to play goalie), Staal, Mcdonagh, and john Moore have all been AWFUL. let's take off the blinders for a minute ryan mcdonagh is playing like *** he's much much better than this. and I know he and the others all will be. this is a D group that went toe to toe with the Kings just a few months ago they didn't forget how to defend. they'll figure it out.

The forwards against the isles looked dominant. I still rather just settle in and put zucc with brass and kreider now but I can live with the current lineup.

Also cream always rises to the top doesn't it? clearly duclair and hayes had the most upside of our rookie forwards and sure enough they are the ones in the lineup when the games got real.

Fast stinks i'm sorry I see a depth guy at best right now that can fill in for injuries and JT miller well i'm very disappointed he looks lost again. its between his ears right now the problem. If he went to the AHL he'd put up multi point games. It just seems right now the nhl game is to fast for him MENTALLY not physically. he has some maturing to do still.

Hayes you can see right away he just gets it. as does duclair. Both will be regulars for us im sure of it. But 2 rookies is plenty.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Not that I would ever cheer against the Rangers (large bets aside) but this is the kind of game you'd like to see them lose just for the comedy factor on these boards. Incredible potential. Tremendous upside for the lulz.

This board would have a full on meltdown and there's nothing you can do to defend a loss tonight. There's no 9 games on the road, no good opponent being faced, can't use injuries when they're missing pretty much every one of their best players. Obviously want the two points but at least I can enjoy some popcorn and sit back and watch this place freak the **** out if we lose tonight

 

[Raspewtin]

Switch Stempniak and Zuccarello, play Miller, sit Glass. For god's sake.
