GDT: Lightning at Rangers Pt. II

[Boruto]

The players have also stopped skating and McDonagh is just bad. Horrible. ****ing lazy and reaching for pucks. Extending himself out of position every single time. Skate you ****ing lazy bum.

 

[Nosferatos]

Man McD is too nice with Callahan

 

[The Gloaming]

Beautiful icing. Idiots.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Where would this team be without Hank? We'd either miss the playoffs or get KO'd early every ****ing year. And who would play instead? Talbot? Some FA goalie? They'd get eaten alive with how the defense has been this year.

THIS ain't the same Hank. When he returns then your assertion may well be true.

 

[Dalagaze]

Oh stop it. I usually defend Henrik but this season is just crap. This game is just crap. One bad game here and there, fine.

This is a bad season.

Again, look at the defense. They're leaving guys open left and right and in Staal's case, getting deked out of their skates.

 

[Kane One]

Where would this team be without Hank? We'd either miss the playoffs or get KO'd early every ****ing year. And who would play instead? Talbot? Some FA goalie? They'd get eaten alive with how the defense has been this year.

So Lundqvist is now only good in the playoffs? He used to be able to bring us to the playoffs single-handedly. He now can't. Let's worry about our goaltending in the playoffs when we get to the playoffs.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Not for nothing, officiating gave Tampa the ability to tie the game and take the lead.

This is exactly why I barely follow the nhl anymore. It's become a joke. It don't put much stock in this sport as a competitive league.

 

[nevesis]

We're starting to see what happens when a reaction goalie who plays deep in his crease loses a step.

He used to save many of these chances. Now he's just a millisecond slower and it's showing.

It's not a coincidence that he can't seem to stop a breakaway anymore.

Trade him.

 

[Boruto]

Call a ****ing time out or pull your ****ing goalie Alain. For ****'s sake, do something. This team has played like **** for 5 minutes.

 

[Ail]

McD trying hard to outdo Hank for the biggest disappointment of 2014-2015.

 

[Raspewtin]

Zuccarello and Kreider both deserve scratches.

Absolute garbage performances from both of them.

 

[TheTakedown]

Not for nothing, officiating gave Tampa the ability to tie the game and take the lead.

yeah I was going to say that 5v3 with gifts wrapped for them and that pretty much sealed the game. Not sure why the league is favoring on Tampa, or at least so it seems

 

[Dalagaze]

So Lundqvist is now only good in the playoffs? He used to be able to bring us to the playoffs single-handedly. He now can't. Let's worry about our goaltending in the playoffs when we get to the playoffs.

Re-read the second sentence.

 

[Boruto]

Again, look at the defense. They're leaving guys open left and right and in Staal's case, getting deked out of their skates.

Blame everything on everyone else. 5GA on <20 shots is bad and there's no two ways about it. Every goalie has decent reason for letting in every goal. There have been worse defense and better goaltending.

 

[Ail]

lol MArc Staal, can't say enough about him. He's just an excellent player. Great shot, great skating, what a stalwart.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

This man to man defense has been **** since the start... There's a reason why only like 4 teams use it... Need to play zone so they can't just cross constantly and skate away from us

 

[Boruto]

Hilarious how the D is still sitting back.

 

[Krams]

lol MArc Staal, can't say enough about him. He's just an excellent player. Great shot, great skating, what a stalwart.

stale wart

 

[Kovalev27]

Hank is not losing a step he's 32 that's your prime for a goaltender

He's just not playing well he's not mentally in it. He's making mental mistakes every night. Lack of focus

 

[Raspewtin]

5 games where Henrik has let up 5+ goals.

How lovely.

 

[NCRanger]

Doesn't excuse that garbage goal by Henrik which killed any and all momentum.

Of course not, but I'm a bit annoyed with Tampa getting away with plenty and the Rangers getting called for little nonsense. Kucherov got away with more than St. Louis did.

 

[The Gloaming]

lol MArc Staal, can't say enough about him. He's just an excellent player. Great shot, great skating, what a stalwart.

Great eyesight too.

Sometimes I feel like Staal is half-blind.

 

[Ail]

[Kane One]

Re-read the second sentence.

Most teams don't get KO'd early in the playoffs, so I think one of them could get the job done in the regular season.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Lundqvist has given up 3+ goals in more than half his starts.

He's about to go 3-6 in his last nine starts.
