Post-Game Talk: Canucks @ Rangers

[Algernop Kreider]

If Skapski plays well tomorrow is it irrational to fear the birth of a Skapski for starter cult?

That would be irrational. Why fear it when clearly Skapski should be the starter?

 

[dump and change]

Sather needs to trade for a goalie.

why would we trade for a goalie when we have the ginger bread man?

 

[Doctyl]

Imo losing a point is not the end of the world in the current situation. I think we should all calm down and look forwad to tomorrow.

I look forward to Talbot sitting

 

[nevesis]

Schedule. You dont want to burn out Talbot. If Henrik gets hurt again after the deadline it might be too late.

Get a goalie for insurance.

It's not going to happen. Seriously. Forget about it. Sather is going to get what we actually need.

 

[Machinehead]

Almost threw a brick from my car out the window that I didn't even possess because we played like swamp ass.

Talbot's been really underwhelming. Our guys need to stop sucking in our own end we aren't the Pens and Flyers from 2012.

Wait so you almost threw a brick and you don't have a brick?

If Henrik gets hurt after the deadline we are done either way.

A John Scott reunion? Scott-Moore-Glass. G.O.A.T.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

McD needs to get some bio work done so he can play like how beastly this thing is

 

[Doctyl]

Wait so you almost threw a brick and you don't have a brick?

He was THAT mad

 

[CDiablo]

Pretty much. I don't usually agree wtih you ,but I do here.

And a lot of you guys are blatantly ignoring some of the superb saves Talbot made tonight. I think you guys should look at an encore of the game and see all the great saves he made because of how **** the defense has been in front of him. You act like the goals he gave up were soft goals any goalie would save, when in fact they were ones you can't expect a goalie to save, and he made numerous grade A chances as well. I think you're blinded by the numbers and not seeing how many grade A chances he has to deal with because of how ****** our D has been.

As you can see no one is looking at the saves he is making, its the ones he isn't. He stopped 2-3 guys wide open in front of the net. Talbot has been mostly good, but hes not standing on his head for any of the games he has played as a starter and thats what a lot are looking at. I see people giving **** to nevesis cause he defends goalies and was/is a goalie, but (myself)as a defensman I can clearly see that the Rangers are one of the worst defensive teams in the league at the moment. Its like hitting Oilers level. I watch plenty of hockey and in my personal ranking the Rangers easily crack the bottom 10 in team defense.

Hank is great and all but I have been saying for a while, after many games this year, I would rather him not have to make so many huge saves. That is coming to the forefront now cause Cam isn't good enough to cover this poor of a defense. Put him on a team like Minnesota and he's a 1-2 GAA goalie.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Mcdonagh was awful tonight... would be nice if the real one showed up more than once or twice a week.

 

[OnlyTruth]

Thank god Hank's show is on tonight so I can forget about that sieve.

You must be in love.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Cam's biggest issues have always been rebounds and his five hole.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

He was THAT mad

I am mad. Literally screaming at the ESPN app in the car. Ugh.

 

[Captain Lindy]

While I have always agreed with your assessment of Girardi, I really think that he's been worse than usual this season. He used to at least spend SOME time standing on his skates. Now he spends 23 minutes/night sliding on his stomach and being out of position.

He was actually good in 11-12. He was made for Tortorella's system though. I guess that made him look better than he is.

He was doing that in the playoffs last year and more pronounced in the Final. He was just god-awful.

 

[nevesis]

I look forward to Talbot sitting

If Skapski plays tomorrow and gets lit up by the Sabres, what will your opinion be then?

I think Talbot has to play. You show him that you believe in him and that this loss wasn't on him.

I can see it from both sides though...tomorrow would be the game you want him to start in a traditional situation, but my gut tells me to go with Talbot and the experience he has. He gives the team the best chance to win.

 

[Raspewtin]

Did you ever think the reason why the Rangers are scoring so much with Cam is because they know they have to? They say the right things, but its obvious they don't believe in him much, they are all offensive first players, that's all they are thinking we need to score, score, score and score some more, everyone is making bad pinches, bad turnovers etc, because they are all thinking they need to score goals, because their goalie cant stop them.

Is this based off anything? I mean, it's not that most outlandish thing I've ever heard. They are trying to force the play a lot and are making a lot of bad pinches.

Honestly I dont know much about our current backup. Is he good?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

If Henrik get hurt again, I'm not putting the down payment on the playoff tickets.

They could just wait for next year.

 

[Inferno]

i rarely get that worked up.

honestly the most pissed ive ever been was when a dude slashed and broke my stick a few months back.

it wasnt the slash..it was the 200 bucks i was out of for breaking the stick.


grrrrrr

This is what I have to side with as well. Don't look now but Buffalo's playing well recently.

I get what your saying but the fact that it's a back to back and against such a horrible team it is justifiable to give Cam a breather.

 

[2Leetch_94]

You guys take the Sabres too serious, just sit both Cam and Skapski and go back to the glory days of the 6-man goalie system.

I don't really care if Skapski gets lit up. Sucks for him, but we can't go back to Cam. He's been horrible.

You start Skapski to give Talbot a breather. Even if Talbot got a shutout tonight, I would still say to start Skapski. If there's any game to play Skapski, it's against Buffalo.
