Post-Game Talk: Penguins @ Rangers: MDSF Game 1

[nevesis]

“@stevezipay: Spare D Chris Summers on ice early; no sign of Girardi yet. Could have today off.”

 

[nevesis]

“@stevezipay: And there's Girardiâ€

 

[nevesis]

“@rangersreport: Girardi on ice for practice”

 

[nevesis]

“@rangersreport: Girardi is not a human being”

 

[Doctyl]

Thank god I won't have to watch Summers in a playoff game

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Warrior. Friggin' warrior.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I remember watching a TV show on Danny G. His wifey so proud of him, they have great chemistry and his son is just golden. Hope the little kid will play for us in ca. 14 years ^^

“@stevezipay: Girardi not even wearing extra protection on helmet, it appears. #terminator”

 

[NYRFANMANI]

What happened now, did he brake a tooth? Jaw?

Probably had some teeth knocked out. Saw a dentist last night.

Last minutes of playoff games are where we're really gonna be missing Brian Boyle

I did not miss him at all, and to be honest, Fast is a much better player than Boyle allround.

 

[haveandare]

Boyle being gone doesn't bother me as much as Stralman. It wasn't a questionable decision, the guy didn't want to be here. He left for a "bigger role" but he plays the same role.

 

[Swept In Seven]

Girardi is a machine, the guy can't be human.

I think he is a prototype terminator, lets look at the evidence:

Great at blocking shots because of his cpu trajectory system and steel frame. (dude didn't even have a look of pain on his face after taking that shot)

Hands that are a bit clunky, give the guy a break he is just a prototype

Superior AI recognition for defensive zone coverage, it is pretty rare to see him poop the bed in the D zone

John Connor hasn't become relevant at this point in history


Lets be reality, Dolan payed a government contractor to build this monster who sits on our blue line. Dolan keeps G's salary and G recharges in a small closet in the MSG basement. Why do you think nobody even knew who this guy was? Undrafted free agent? Likely back story.

I'm pretty sure Boyle just didn't want to be a ranger. Stralman on the other hand did and it bothered me a lot that we let him go.

 

[nevesis]

Klein is not on the ice.

 

[The Gloaming]

Girardi could have a bowling ball fall on his head and he still wouldn't miss a game.

Let me tell you, if G had better offensive skills, he'd have to be paid around 7 million bucks a year.

 

[Doctyl]

Please take game 2. No more of this back and forth **** in the playoffs please

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Klein is not on the ice.

I think last night showed that there's no need to rush him. Want to make sure that he's 100%. Not necessarily for the risk of another injury but simply because you worry about his effectiveness playing through pain.

If G had better offensive skills he would be an anual Norris candidate

 

[Miamipuck]

I agree, besides he already has bowling balls for hands.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

If G had better offensive skills he would be an anual Norris candidate

Yup

It's somewhat cool that he doesn't, we couldn't afford him.

Did anyone have the pleasure of listening to the NBCSN broadcast? My dad said that they were comically bad. He said you would've thought by just hearing what they had to say that the Penguins were up by 5 goals I know Pierre is a non-stop black-and-gold creamfest but I don't expect Emrick to be that far up Pitt's butt right now considering how crappy they've been in the last few months.

My thoughts on the NBC broadcast is that most fanbases only hear what they want to hear. If you're a Ranger fan you probably only hear them slobbering the Pens and forget all the positive things they say about our team and vice versa for Pen fans. Most fanbases think the NBC crew is slighting their team so I'm inclined to believe that is not really the case and biased people are just used to hearing a broadcast intended to only be heard by one fanbase.

When you see two fanbases complaining about the crew it means it was an evenly called game and you only picked up on the Penguin-biased comments.

In all honesty, I'm absolutely spoiled by the Mets team of Cohen-Hernandez-Darling. They're ******* outstanding.

Staal was such a monster out there, definitely one of my stars.

Absolutely was one of my stars as well...he was a beast out there.
