GDT: MDSF #3 - 04/22/14 | New York Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers | 8:00 - MSG, CNBC

[Hunter Gathers]

So, that goal is 100% his fault.

The guys turning it over are not at fault?

I have it down as 93% his fault.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

The amount of diving going on in these games from BOTH teams, is borderline disgusting.

Honestly neither team's fans should be saying anything other than stay on yer fackin' feet boys.

Unfortunately, I think McDonagh might have been embellishing the Giroux "trip", doesn't get called, leads directly to a goal.

Couterier and Staal happened right after Cout's takes in my opinion the biggest dive of the game.

MacDonald dove, Dorsett embellished the crosscheck.

I think the refs might even look to call an embellishment next period.

There is a lot of diving going on in this series from both teams. Don't like it at all.

Also, McD is clearly not 100 percent. Not even close. ****ing Alex Burrows.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Staal please save us!!!

 

[3rd Guy High]

Relax. Up 2-1 on the road. Intermission came at the perfect time. Regroup and get back at it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Emery made two big stops when it was 2-0. They need the next goal.

Yep. Same **** as last game.

We need the third goal. Period.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Where does kreider fit in when he comes back? Tht first line is rolling... I'd put kreider on instead of nash

We keep playing this stupid and selfish, we're going to be out before he can make it. What an absolute joke of a period. ****ing piece of **** Pouliot.

You really can't see how that whole thing started because of the stupid penalty?

 

[tbonenc*]

Players play injured in the post season. Crosby played with a fractured ankle one year.

He's just been bad, regardless of the injury. He hasn't been average, or even below average, he's been bad for any NHL defense men's standards.

Um, no, he has not been bad.
That goal was a result of Beav, not Mac.
He has not been himself, but bad is an incredible overstatement.

 

[azrok22]

Hopefully this game becomes a microcosm of Pouliot's season. Awful start with a strong finish. He's got the start right so far.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Hank needs some fast acting Advil this period as a precaution.

 

[Kakko]

I have it down as 93% his fault.

... reasonable ....

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I have zero faith in the Rangers winning this game after that finish. The Flyers woke up and the Rangers looked ****ing scared.

Oh jesus come on man. I can understand being a pessimist or worried. But this is ridiculous. They got rattled at the end because of the momentum swing.

They come out strong in the second they can take it back.

 

[nevesis]

Yeah, I didn't think that was his fault.

It shouldn't even be entertained as conversation here. It can't be. It's an impossible scenario for a goaltender to make that save.

Anyone who argues otherwise I can't even consider being a human being. I relegate them to being a trollbot or some sort, put here just to create angst amongst the normal thinking human beings.

 

[Ghost of jas]

McDonagh fell down, and Richards tripped over him, while MSL passed the puck to the two fallen players. It was a complete comedy of errors.

It's not impossible. Just extremely unlikely.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I wish Torts was here to cuss him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Shots were 13-8 before that penalty. 13-12 now. We're lucky it's only 2-0. The Flyers were asleep and Pouliot woke him up. I thought he smartened up over the course of the season, I guess a ****ing idiot can't smarten up.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Staal is our #1 tonight

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Hank needs some fast acting Advil this period as a precaution.

A puck weighs much less than a rhinoceros too.

 

[Fitzy]

I have it down as 93% his fault.

Who pays the other 7% then Mr. Lawyer

The amount of ignorance around here about the game, and specifically goaltending, never ceases to amaze. Dominic Hasek in his prime had no shot at that.

Yeah he's playing, not playing well. I refuse to believe that a player of his intelligence simply forgot how to play hockey. IMO it must still be lingering. He's not playing confident right now, and I think playing with an injury changes the way you play, even mentally.

 

[Machinehead]

I wish Torts was here to cuss him.

Yeah and probably to the media. That would go over big.

 

[Filip Chytil]

They need something to change the momentum. Maybe a big, clean hit (doubtful). The next goal is going to be critical. Rangers desperately need it, and they need to play like it. Don't play like you have a 1 goal lead, they have to play like they are 1 goal down right now. They need to match the Flyers' intensity and then some. They need to want it more to win.
