Post-Game Talk: Habs @ Rangers 1/29/15 Mod warning in post #8

[Raspewtin]

The worst part about McDonagh slumping, is you can see just how useless him and Girardi are as a pair when he's not playing up to par.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Had some chances. Couldn't finish. I'm aggravated because the chances we missed were ridiculous.

Also annoyed at the officiating. Although not one-sided, some of those calls were mind boggling.

 

[Pfranz94]

Horrible game. No positives whatsoever.

I'm telling you. Sather is going to make some changes.

Those bottom two lines are black holes.

How was it a horrible game with no positives. It was a tight checking goal tenders duel, in which the rangers had the better chances, and price was rediculous. Hank HAS GOT to make that save, and the refs were terrible. Overall I think they played a solid game.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Lundqvist was not the best player tonight up until the goal. Jesus Christ.

Staal was the best Ranger tonight.

 

[nevesis]

Go watch it without the Hank-colored-glasses. Price made several great saves. It wasn't not as one-sided as you think it was. Hank didn't get it done. Price did. Sometimes your team scores no/very few goals. The goalie needs to not give up stinkers in those games. Hank did; Price didn't. That's how it goes.

On to the next one.

Huh?

When did I ever say Price didn't play a great game? He did...

However, I said he wasn't tested that much. He wasn't. 24 shots against, and most were not high-quality at all.

Hank let up a very bad goal, he's a human being and sometimes during the course of a game you lose focus for a moment, and you aren't set, next thing you know the puck is in the back of the net.

This shouldn't offset the multiple GREAT saves he made the rest of the game that kept the TEAM actually IN the game.

The team couldn't score, plain and simple. You don't win if you can't score.

Hank is more angry about that goal than ANY of us. He knows thats on him, and he should have had it.

You still have a fat goose up to stare at the scoreboard with our name right next to it.

With how bad the powerplay has been lately, I'm glad nothing was called in the third. That awful icing is more annoying, I've hated the hybrid icing since it's been announced and nothing has changed.

Hank is the only player allowed to make mistakes..

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Zuc is losing it out there. Barely top 9 material here.

Hagelin is giving me headaches. He looks like ****, then he has one big play, be it a shot, goal, attempted hit, flash of speed, and I end up having faith again. But no, wishful thinking. He is too fast for himself and not big of a body enough to help us with ****.

As for Gramps, he's really getting on my nerves. I don't care how many points he puts up. He's another small body on a small body team.

I'd rather see Nash-Step-MSL and Kreides-Brass and Zuc at this point.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Lundqvist was not the best player tonight up until the goal. Jesus Christ.

Staal was the best Ranger tonight.

I agree with this.

 

[Nanaki]

The offense has officially dried up.

This is the thing that worries me a lot more than Hank giving up a flukey goal.

 

[Doctyl]

I don't think the refs understand hybrid icing. It's clear they don't know when to not call it. seems they think it's like automatic icing.

 

[eco's bones]

-Hagelin's worst game of the year. Absolute **** from him.

-Girardi and McDonagh are absolute jokes right now. No, jokes are funny. They're more like walking abominations right now. These ****ing braindead idiots can't do anything right anymore.

-Change these god damn lines before I have an aneurysm.

-Klein, Girardi, and Hagelin on the ice when we need a goal. Brilliant ****ing coaching AV. Imbecile.

-Absolute choke by Hank. How do you let that in with 4 minutes left?

-All of the refs can get ****ed tonight.

-Zuccarello can walk home with Girardi, Hagelin, and McDonagh. Not one positive from him tonight.

-OH, and **** Glass too.

Most heated I've been after a loss in a really long time.

We were a lot better in this game than we were in the last one yet now you're angry.

What I'll agree with is that Henrik ****ed up on the goal. Rangers were gifted a goal in the first though. We've seen these not count before but I'm pretty sure you know just as well as I that that puck was in.

What you're pissed at Girardi or McDonagh for I'm trying to figure out--because they were on the ice when the goal was scored?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Tough to complain when the coach continues to dress a suboptimal lineup.

 

[Giacomin]

A tough train ride home tonight

Oh we looked so good on that trip. Didn't we ?

 

[Kakko]

wtf is this?

Price made just as many great saves

 

[Raspewtin]

Staal was the best Ranger tonight.

This.

Habs had maybe two or three really good chances. Most of their shots were from the angles and ironically, the Rangers solid team defense cost them a game because the Habs had nowhere to shoot from but spots where Pacioretty scored.

I dont like telling posters what or when to post, but tonight is a night you probably shouldn't waste your time explaining anything.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Hagelin looks like Freddy Sjostrom out there far too often. A whole lot of speed. Nothing else.

Yikes.

 

[NCRanger]

I don't think the refs understand hybrid icing. It's clear they don't know when to not call it. seems they think it's like automatic icing.

It's probably the worst rule in the NHL.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Zuccarello and McDonagh have been terrible this year.

It's obvious McD's captaincy was premature. He wasn't ready for it.

I don't think there's really much the Rangers could improve short of another blockbuster deal. They need some scoring depth. A 3C or bottom 6 scoring winger. Or they could just remove Tanner Glass from the lineup and put in Miller.

Its all Hags, Glass, Zucc and McDs fault!

 

[Kokoschka]

well, at least it wasn't Bernier-level bad.

That gave me a good laugh, I'm going to sleep now.

Btw, Staal and Stepan had good games.
