Post-Game Talk: Penguins at Rangers - Game 2 - April 18 (Series tied 1-1)

[Raspewtin]

The highest paid goalie in the league was outplayed by the biggest choker in the league.

Fleury is far from the biggest choker in the league lol

Ah yes, lets blame someone for not clearing the puck when the other team has a man advantage. Great logic.

What, a failed clear on the PK is just fine and excusable?

 

[ImIdaho]

Don't care about losing Game 2. Can they at least try to win one series in less than 6?

 

[coogz13]

We take this in 6, tops. The guys will be ready for game 3. The only focus a good team can have is forward looking. New game, 0-0 and we'll be ready

 

[CDiablo]

Rangers have embarassed themselves every time they have played on NBC for a while now. Rangers PP lost this one.

 

[Charlie Conway]

I'm not worried--par for the course. But, still, I had to lose a home game 4-3 when we had so many power play opportunities. Tonight was a very winnable game, even with all of the mediocre play.

 

[mrhockey193195]

The most important face-off of the season and we let Derek Stepan take it. Un ****ing real.

...you're *****ing about a faceoff at center ice with 5 seconds left being taken by Stepan? A faceoff where we basically have to slap it forward?

 

[Thorngart]

Nash scored and people are acting like they didn't want him to. Be happy he got that first goal out of the way. It's 1-1. Relax. Nobody really expected a sweep, right?

People are expecting a little more effort at times.

 

[trilobyte]

10 minutes of acceptable play and 5 minutes of good play is not enough.
Hope this is a wake up call.

They gave away too many precious minutes in this game.
It's up to them to not do so again

 

[Zuuuuc]

This is the Rangers. If we go all the way to the finals, every series will be tied 1-1 heading to the road. That being said, only practice the PP. If they're gonna take 5-7 penalties a game, we need to be scoring 2-3 PP goals per game. No excuses

 

[poeman]

Just move on and regroup, we need to fix the issues and counter back. I also want to shut Lapierere's face, that dumbo but we will need to pepper Fleury...One timers are just not enough all the time.

 

[NCRanger]

The highest paid goalie in the league was outplayed by the biggest choker in the league.

It's not ALL on Hankk, but his rebound control has alwas been bad.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

wake up call they needed imo

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Fleury outplayed Hank. Thats why we lost. Lets not make it too complicated.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I'm embarrassed. I walked down to Penn Station in shame after Yandle was penalized. At least I made a quiet train.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

No killer instinct. None. The Pens got some usual ref help, but this was pathetic. Close a damn series out for once. I can't take this anymore.

 

[Cassano]

Rick Nash was 2nd on the team in overall Corsi and scored tonight, why the witch-hunt for him?

 

[Nickmo82]

Well... that was frustrating. Yeah.

 

[Siddi]

No goal for you, Lapierre, you piece of ****.

You have no place in this league.

When Megusta is mad you know **** has hit the fan. I love it, emotions

Hopefully the players feel the same way we do.

 

[Cassano]

Fleury outplayed Hank. Thats why we lost. Lets not make it too complicated.

I think this is the gist of it. Inexcusable play by Hank.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

No killer instinct. None. The Pens got some usual ref help, but this was pathetic. Close a damn series out for once. I can't take this anymore.

What ref help?

It all boils down to number of power play opportunities. They scored on theirs. That's it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It's not ALL on Hankk, but his rebound control has alwas been bad.

I agree, not all, but the majority of it should be on him and Nash. The media always talks about those two as our most important players, and they've both been really bad so far.

 

[Wolfy*]

Guess what, Isles fans celebrate...**** them.

 

[Ori]

Fleury outplayed Hank. Thats why we lost. Lets not make it too complicated.

I hope Talbot start next game - Hank was not an elite player tonight.

 

[Holocene]

Thank god that didn't go in, **** Max Lap. Like I said in the GDT it's hard to go up 2-0 in a series, 6 of 8 series are 2-0 right now and many series have clearcut favorites. Specials teams is something we should be worried about, the series as a whole I don't think is. Clean up the PK and carry over some momentum from the PP and well be fine. Miller had another good game as well imo.

We're playing the worst defense and goalie (though he's playing well at the moment) out of all the playoff teams right now. They need to wake the **** up. This kind of effort is unacceptable.

 

[Raspewtin]

Rick Nash was 2nd on the team in overall Corsi and scored tonight, why the witch-hunt for him?

Because it's way more fun than complaining and scapegoating one player rather than the many players that played like garbage tonight.
