Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at Carolina Hurricanes 3/21/15: The Losing Streak Ends!

[Larrybiv]

Awful game. Offense is still totally anemic. Need MSL back and a new powerplay game plan. We aren't winning **** if we continue to play games like this.

Than this

 

[trilobyte]

Nash had a good game.
Talbot so good.
Zuccarello made himself very noticeable.
Fast works his butt off out there. Bet that goal felt pretty damned nice.

 

[pjr378]

We were only good in the 2nd and OT. 1st and 3rd were poor. In the 3rd we made Carolina look like the Kings.

Someone had better find the suitcase with Nash's offense that got lost at the airport. He's looking exactly like last season's playoffs. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone in the top 6 is eager to pick up the slack from him.

I think our best skater by far was Miller. Hayes and Fast were also pretty good and Zuccarello had a few good moments. Hagelin needs to visit a youth camp and relearn offense. His decisions with and around the puck were absolutely brainless. The penalty was bad enough, then he gets position for an open shot and backpasses to no one.

Glad we got the 2 points but a very underwhelming performance to say the least. Some players on this squad need a solid kick up their ass.

The fans ar Still suffering from PTSD after the long losing streak. Need to win the next dozen games to allow the fans to recover.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

We will def go back to PNC provided there is another Sat gm.

 

[2Leetch_94]

This game was WOAT. 2 points still count all the same. Play better tomorrow.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I'm more bothered by what feels like a total lack of effort. Like half the team does't look to be giving full effort and it's infuriating. A win is a win, but it isn't a ROW win, nor was it satisfying overall. I'm thrilled Cam shut down the door in the shootout, but man this game sucked.

I'm curious if they're gonna have Cam start tomorrow. It'll probably be hell for Skapski if they go that route, but it would be a fun test for him.

 

[Larrybiv]

Hayes
Talbot
Fast

We've looked bad for a few weeks now. Amazing that we've only lost the last game.

Amazing! How can a team be so horrific and still just keep on winning? They're sending us into the infamous hockey abyss! We just don't know what to think. Do we suck? Are we inept but good? Are we good despite ourselves? Are we lucky? What about Hank? Omg! Just too many questions, yet, we keep on winning........ Poor Rangers, and their fans. So confused.

 

[Machinehead]

Good teams win on bad days. Crap 3rd period. Crap most of the 1st. Ok 2nd period.

Zucc, Fast, Miller and Talbot are my stars.

Every day is bad and we always win, so we must be really good.

 

[BoWmEn]

I'll take it. More points without Hank at the end of the day. Just remember that folks, 7-8 weeks without Lundqvist who would've guessed the Rangers would still be in control of their destiny for Presidents' Trophy?

I think people around the league will be in for a rude awakening, remembering about this Lundqvist guy when he's back in action.

I'm gonna go out on the LEDGE and say Talbot is in tomorrow. In fact I'll call AV, and make sure he's not on that same ledge. The answer is obvious. Duh.

 

[silverfish]

If Gerbe was 5 inches taller he'd be a superstar.

Tomorrow night is gonna be tough.

[Uglybstrd]

We top the Eastern and the Islanders are 5 points behind us with 3 more games played. Could`ve been worse.

 

[JRinNYC]

We will def go back to PNC provided there is another Sat gm.

Yeah not a bad arena. Nothing special. If you're in NYC I'll hook you up for a ticket at MSG.

 

[aufheben]

Every day is bad and we always win, so we must be really good.

Yeah but we both know racking up points and winning playoff series are very different.

 

[JRinNYC]

Waiting at the service entrance to see them leave PNC.

 

[The Gloaming]

A win is a win, but that was as bad of a third period as you can have.

Stepan is still laboring. Nash can't buy a goal, and I don't think I heard Kreider's name mentioned once. On the bright side, Hayes continues to make things happen every time he's on the ice.

 

[dump and change]

i really liked how miller played tonight.

Kreider had a solid shift in OT with Fast, but yes, other than that he was pretty quiet.

Hayes' game has grown a lot since October. He dominates out there.

Anyone have a gif of Zooks SO goal?

It's not just one game, it's been like that for at least half a dozen games. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't know about you, but I want this to succeed in the playoffs. And if Step is our worst center in the playoffs that won't happen.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Thought Dan Boyle looked good again but I'm sure people will **** on him anyway and blame the PP on him.

Nope. The PP appears to be Yandle's fault right now.

 

[Larrybiv]

Nope. The PP appears to be Yandle's fault right now.

I'm sorry but there are 5 players out there, if they don't play as a unit..... They will continue to not succeed". It's not just Yandle's fault.
