Gotta give Lapierre credit...

Penalties killed us and not being able to draw them.... we out played them for last 40 minutes... Will be nice to get Hoff and DP back

 

[Black Label]

--------------- Every defenseman other than Cole

 

[metalan2]

Bottom line -

We need Erhoff and Pouliot to come back NEXT game..at least one of the two.

If anyone doubts Kunitz's badness, just look at how Geno looked when Kunitz was moved from his line. Amazing.

Biggest minus is losing a winnable game. Biggest positive is that we were competitive.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

I really like Hornqvist and I'm excited to watch him these final three games and next year, but for a team that can't score, I'd love to have Neal right about now. They made that deal to get deeper with Spaling, but Spaling has been ****ing terrible. I couldn't tell you what Spaling's face looks like. Apparently he exists, but I'll need someone to confirm that.

 

[Jacob]

I think the Rangers have another level to get to and I think the Pens 2nd period was as good as they'll be in this series.

 

[canadianguy77]

I want to know how we get out of this ****ing bizzaro world where the worse Kunitz plays, the more he gets rewarded.

Anyway, it was quite a bit closer than I expected. But if the personnel decisions don't change, it's going to be a sweep.

 

[Lim Ran]

I ain't mad.

Closer than I thought. All things considered. Which includes a jobbing by the refs.

 

[Coastal Kev]

- the refs

- SID, embarrassing effort by the "Captain". I'm sorry Sid, you are only the "Captain" in name. Pathetic display of effort. If you never watched hockey before this game, you would think LAPs was the 9 million dollar player and Sid was a 4th line hack.

 

[CAPS LOCK]

+ to the Pens for not rolling over and giving up after allowing a goal in the first minute. Its obvious the Rangers are playing at a different level than most teams in the NHL right now, but Im impressed that the Pens gave them a game and at times hjad them on their heals.

 

[High Flying Birds]

The amount of holding and interference the Rangers players do is through the stratosphere. But then again, if the refs aren't gonna call it, they'll just keep doing it. Kudos to the NHL for bringing back one of the most infamous eras of hockey.

 

[BlacknGold4life]

with what I said I dont want to take away from Chorney and BD's play tonight. it was solid... too bad we cannot take out LJ



and hopefully Galiadri died.. maybe 1 defenseman a game.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I can't get over how bad Kunitz looked all game and he's out there with the extra man. lol. Keep him off the ******* ice.

 

[Coach Travis]

As bad as our forward depth is, the biggest difference between these two teams is their defence's ability to move the puck. Countless times I'd see Crosby his line regroup looking for that quick pass to the wing then to Sid but our D can't make that first pass. Meanwhile every Ranger defenceman looks like Nick Lidstrom with the puck.

 

[BeautiPhil]

+Bennett should've gotten more minutes. He was playing well. Johnston's being dense as per usual.

+Hornqvist

Chorney doesn't deserve a minus

 

[Lim Ran]

Bottom line -

We need Erhoff and Pouliot to come back NEXT game..at least one of the two.

Yeah... a defenseman that can make a pass is pretty important.

 

[systemsgo]

+ Effort
+ Did better than I thought we would, I don't actually feel like raging and shouting at the game.

- Kunitz

 

[djt153]

ehrhoff and pouliot getting healthy doesn't help much since the problem didn't seem like dumoulin and chorney to me.

 

[Sideline]

-Everyone on defense
-Mostly Lovejoy and Scuderi
-Kunitz
-Bench management
-Kunitz again because he was that bad
-Lazy Sid


+Geno is love. Geno is life.
+Honry care. The rest of his line dey don care. Horny care.
+MaxLap, Comeau, and Spaling
