Pre-Game Talk: Game 4 @ Philly (Mason to Start)

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Yes, certainly better than last year. Though ultimately I expect some goals from the 8 million dollar goal scorer. Certainly more than 1 in 15 playoff games for the blueshirts. And a goal explosion from Nash would certainly help in a difficult game.

He will score goals. Right now he's playing a part in creating goals, which is a good thing.

Some people see him not scoring and think he's playing poorly, but so far that hasn't been the case. He's been engaged, he's taking the puck to the net and getting chances. That's what you want out of him, sooner or later the puck will go in for him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think that's ridiculous. We were "boring" in 2011-2012. We are way more exciting now than we have ever been in recent years. They probably just never watch the Rangers and noticed that we don't head shot everyone in sight so we're boring.

To be fair this series has been boring. Game 1 was awesome to watch as a Rangers fan, but from a non-fan it was boring, game 2 was fun from an unbiased POV, but game 3 was a snoozefest even Richards said it. But overall, the Rangers take the 2nd most shots in the league and give up the 15th most, how boring can they be? They're not an up and down team, but how many good defensive teams are? There's no reason to be up and down if you can possess the puck.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

The main board is complaining that we're boring, we better open up and start trading chances.

lol that is literally the worst thread ever.

Actually, no it isn't.

We are the unnoticed underdogs who can go about our business.

I like that.

We're apparently the most boring series despite no one watching a minute of it.

 

[SwaglinNYR]

So here is the opinion of a minimal poster and a LOOOONG time Lurker, this game is PIVOTAL to the ENTIRE series! Carcillo has been a catalyst for this team since he has been here weather good or bad. However, I feel that Lundy is going to win one for us in game 4. He has had a so/so playoffs, but he is due for a game that WOW's us.

 

[darko]

Win tomorrow and this series is done. I wouldn't be saying this against anyone else however Philly has been our ***** for 3-4 years now.

More like the best thread ever. I'm happy with Rangers being boring as long as we are winning.

Hate to think what they thought of Tort's hockey then...

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

He will score goals. Right now he's playing a part in creating goals, which is a good thing.

Some people see him not scoring and think he's playing poorly, but so far that hasn't been the case. He's been engaged, he's taking the puck to the net and getting chances. That's what you want out of him, sooner or later the puck will go in for him.

Again, I'm not saying that he's playing poorly. In fact, this has probably been his best 3 game stretch of his playoff career. I'm just saying he can and will need to be better.

 

[NYR Viper]

Just play 60 minutes. Try and control the pace of the play and get the transition game going ASAP. Get them on their heels.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Win tomorrow and this series is done. I wouldn't be saying this against anyone else however Philly has been our ***** for 3-4 years now.

Meh.

That type of attitude will get you in Philadelphia for a game 6 quicker than you can imagine

 

[Gardner McKay]

We're apparently the most boring series despite no one watching a minute of it.

I think we have the most boring series because games have been so far apart, there has been not as much animosity built up.

 

[OverTheCap]

Part of the reason this series has lacked the excitement of some of the other ones is because there have been no OT games. So many games in the other series have involved a team tying it late in the 3rd, it's been great entertainment so far in the first round.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Craig Carton is an embarrassment. Claude Gir-ocks, really? Really?

 

[trueblue9441]

anyone going to flying puck or hudson station tonight? torn between which place to go.

 

[aufheben]

Craig Carton is an embarrassment. Claude Gir-ocks, really? Really?

Is that Boomer's dumb ass sidekick?

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Meh.

No it won't, his attitude has no bearing on the outcome of the game.

Keep your dreams alive darko! Don't let BRB get ya down.



You're both right though if the Rangers can take it I am very confident they finish the Flyers in 5, if they're looking past this game though they lose. I don't think the leaders in the room or AV will let them do that though. Should be a really good game, just hope the Flyers can keep their **** together and not head hunt.

 

[Rangers ftw]

lol that is literally the worst thread ever.

I like that.

I would also like to nominate the thread where the topic suggested that Rangers drafting was based upon whether the players was good looking or not.

 

[Unpredictable1]

One thing as certain as death, nowaday Flyers will take dumb penalties in trying to pretend being the big bad Flyers of yesteryear. Capitalize on the powerplays and we'll put them away.

 

[RangerBoy]

Based on previous history, Philly will win tonight. Rangers don't handle prosperity very well. Being up 2-1 never becomes 3-1.

 

[NYRCSKA*]

I want the final score to be something like this:

Rangers 25
Failers 0

 

[Fitzy]

Based on previous history, Philly will win tonight. Rangers don't handle prosperity very well. Being up 2-1 never becomes 3-1.

We'll hear a lot of quotes after the game about how they got ahead of themselves.

"Guess we have to go and play with urgency again"

 

[aufheben]

I want the final score to be something like this:

Rangers 25
Failers 0

I'd take just 2-0

 

[AHB*]

For once, stomp this out early.

 

[NYRKindms]

Gonna be another slow day before the game.

Whats on your menu for this evening ?
