That was bananas.

This is a game that got away.

[nyrleetch]

Well that was something...

 

[Dalagaze]

Bad, bad loss. No other way to describe it.

 

[nevesis]

Positive for tonight?

Montreal lost.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Weren't hungry enough in the 3rd. Ulf was right, they needed to get hungry, and they just couldn't.

 

[TheDirtyH]

lost it in the third. let the game get away with those penalties. Av with some very questionable tactics. Staal and McI was a bad idea, didn't see McI/Yandle when we needed them most and when they dominated for two periods.

 

[Raspewtin]

Not a bad loss really.

Though it's continuing an extremely disturbing trend re: Hayes, Kreider, and Nash.

 

[Nanaki]

I'm not happy about this one.

 

[The Gloaming]

Quite a pathetic third period. Really unacceptable. Made Vancouver actually look like a good team when they suck.

First round exit.

 

[darko]

Well that 3rd period was something.

 

[nevesis]

Now, I won't be able to sleep for a few hours because i'm pissed. ****.

 

[JRinNYC]

Terrible officiating

 

[Machinehead]

Not nearly enough Yandle and McIlrath in that 3rd period.

AV refuses to go to the guys doing their jobs. Instead he keeps trotting out McDonagh-Girardi which has been essentially the worst pair in hockey.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

only team in the league that makes zero push and doesnt even touch the puck down a goal with 3 minutes left. this team has no idea how to play from behind. turnover after turnover after dump in after dump in after turnover. absolutely infuriating and embarassing

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Probably going to stare at my ceiling for awhile thinking about that Hayes miss.

 

[aufheben]

Not a bad loss really.

Though it's continuing an extremely disturbing trend re: Hayes, Kreider, and Nash.

Kreider was so much worse than Nash or Hayes

 

[Holocene]

I don't even care. That 3rd period was so bizarre...

 

[Megustaelhockey]

63.2 Minor Penalty - A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player, including the goalkeeper, who holds, freezes or plays the puck with his stick, skates or body in such a manner as to deliberately cause a stoppage of play. With regard to a goalkeeper, this rule applies outside of his goal crease area.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Really disappointing loss

 

[Raspewtin]

lost it in the third. let the game get away with those penalties. Av with some very questionable tactics. Staal and McI was a bad idea, didn't see McI/Yandle when we needed them most and when they dominated for two periods.

this.

AV totally abandoning our best pairing by far to go with two useless pairs was, at the very least, questionable.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Not sure what was worse....that bogus call on Stoll or Kevin Hayes blowing two point blank chances. Such a joke.

 

[bl02]

Zuke ? Nash? Kreider? Anybody home?

 

[nevesis]

Weren't hungry enough in the 3rd. Ulf was right, they needed to get hungry, and they just couldn't.

Hard to get a flow going with the first 5 minutes being down two men off an absolutely terrible call.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

This is a team with no fire and no heart. one of the most unlikeable nyr rosters since the lockout for sure.

 

[I Eat Crow]

A lot of troubling trends are still continuing.

Girardi blown coverage in front of the net led directly to Sedin's tip-in.

Kreider looks about as physically imposing and intimidating as a bunny rabbit.

Nash has been floating for the past two weeks.

Staal looks slow.

Yandle is ineffective.

Hayes is in a sophomore slump.

Miller hasn't taken the step forward he needed to this season outside of the first week of the season.

Zuccarello cooled off.



Not good...Lundqvist, Boyle, and McIlrath are the team's bright spots right now, and that's horrifying.
