WTF Girardi?
I'm watchin the game again in 60 and just rewound Fast's goal 20 times for the heck of it, and something stood out to me that actually bothered me, pissed me off a bit. And it was the fact that Girardi not only showed no reaction at all to Fast scoring, but when Fast is tapping gloves down the bench Girardi is the only Ranger without his fist out and ignores him completely it seems. WTF is up with that?
I dunno, this is a kid that has played his heart out and scored a huge goal that obviously meant a lot to him, and with almost everyone pumped up Girardi just had no reaction and stood back without his glove out as Fast is bumpin gloves down the bench. To me that just seemed completely disrespectful and didn't sit right with me. Am I making too much of that? Is that completely normal? I just want one of those teams where every player roots for one another, where they're all a family. And it seems like that's what we have here. But then seeing girardi basically ignore the goal completely seemed counter intuitive to that ideal. So it ticked me off. Bump his damn glove for chrissakes. Be part of the moment...
