Post-Game Talk: Devils @ Rangers 11/12/13

i am one of girardis least supportive fans but that goal was on mcdonagh

 

[Holocene]

Really crappy game with some horrible ass puck luck unfortunate it had to happen against a ****** rival team.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Awful game from Lundqvist and most of our defenders. No excuses for that.

Devils can thank the refs for this one

The Rangers had 5 PPs. The refs were not the problem.

 

[The Gloaming]

Can't wait for the inevitable blowout on Saturday. That'll be fun!

 

[DudMan28]

Hank let up a real head scratcher that really cost us. Thought we were the more dominant team for most Of the game. Seemed like we scored to make it 2-2 then just kind of sat back and the Devils took it to us. They played hard at the end and got a good bounce. Two games in a row they haven't looked all that good. Getting Nash back and poo gone will be big.

 

[NCRanger]

Completely undeserved loss thanks to an atrocious icing call where the PUCK was ahead of the red line, and an "injury" that took a breakaway away from the Rangers.

Devils had the game handed to them.

 

[ecemleafs]

he was probably not even the most or 2nd most to blame on the goal but i ****ing hate when girardi is on the ice next to the net. just play the man and stick in that situation and trust that henke can save a shot. u take urself out of the play when ur lying on the ice.

 

[TheTakedown]

Devils scored 3 garbage goals, and had the refs and bounces on their side... Rangers also had trouble clearing the zone (McD in particular)...

Maybe it's because Pyatt isn't in? :p

 

[TankLarkin]

quite a rivalry.

 

[mrhockey193195]

That second goal was absolutely killer. All-around soft play by Hank, Hagelin, and G (in that order).

One line played well tonight. Pouliot is a disaster. Where was Miller tonight? Oh yeah, overmatched.

Hate losing to the Devils.

Have to be better.

Hank was great outside of that putrid second goal. Brodeur was terrible on the Rangers first goal too.

Brodeur was the difference for sure, but Hank was very good.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

shot blocking sh&t

Been saying it for years. This shot blocking crap does not work. Take the man down and he can't shoot.

Did anyone see what they did to Hags in front of brodeur? That is what the D is supposed to do.

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh missed his mark in the neutral zone, which caused the 2-on-1.

The play was still pretty well neutralized until Girardi decided to hit Lundqvist with a flying lariat to stop a tissue backhander.

 

[2Leetch_94]

With as many chances as the Rangers got, two goals isn't going to cut it.

People can blame Lundqvist for that second goal but he was sharp otherwise. It'd be nice if the team picked him up.

That power play tonight...I thought Torts and Mike Sullivan were back.

 

[Jabroni]

Terrible luck and Lundqvist forgot this wasn't the playoffs and gave up a disgusting goal. Seriously he should apologize to the team. That was a ****ing disgrace. We dominated that game.

I'm sure he'll be the first to admit he should've had the 2nd goal.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Guys, Rangers aren't going to win every single game. They had a mediocre first period, but they played very well in the 2nd/3rd.

Hank got outplayed. Devils got some real lucky bounces. It happens. Don't dwell on it..

 

[gary laser eyes]

Hard fought tight checking game. Sucks to lose but you can't really say it was an unfair result. I'd say overall the Rangers were better but the bounces didn't go their way.

Oh well. Can't win them all. Still ahead of them in the standings.

 

[Doctyl]

Is Brassard still on the team? I can't tell.

he had a breakaway that the linesman took away from him

 

[RGY]

Only a matter of time before Girardi's ape mentality of "Dan see shot, Dan jump at shot" cost us a game.

You're kidding i hope. Because if you knew a thing about hockey then you'd know that was a product of a terrible read by McDonagh late in a game. He should've been backing up to have an even 2-on-2.

They lost due to a terrible pass by Mashinter, a bad read by McDonagh then a bad goal by Henrik, and another bad read by McDonagh.

They are a better team than the Devils.

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

Carter is a Rangers killer. They should probably start shadowing him every time they play

I felt the same way about Nigel Dawes. Good game guys. We'll see you in Yankee Stadium!

 

[nyrpassion]

Yep, Saturday will be a ****show. thankfully i work that day.

 

[TheTakedown]

i am one of girardis least supportive fans but that goal was on mcdonagh

agreed... Devs got a lucky bounce on that one, and G blocked what might have initially been a goal. Not on him

 

[OverTheCap]

That might as well have been a game from 2012 ECF. Marty channeling his younger self, PP sucking, Carter and the Devils 4th line owning.

Although the Rangers PP looks better this year, they still struggle against top penalty killing teams. The Devils aggressive PK shut them down as did Montreal a few weeks ago.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Awful game from Lundqvist and most of our defenders. No excuses for that.

WTF were you watching???

 

[Holocene]

Devils can thank the refs for this one

Come on, man. If anything they can thank the hockey gods for some ridiculously good luck.
