GDT: Rangers @ Penguins - Game 5 - April 23 - Part II

[nevesis]

Hence my clarification.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Objectively, our defense has been complete garbage all year and it was a matter of time before it caught up to us and the playoffs really exposed it.

Nobody is saying that isn't ALSO the case. But there are people incapable of ever dealing with critique of Hank. It's embarrassing and annoying

This. But Hank let us and himself down as well this series. It doesn't have to be either or. He needs to be better but to blame him is just clueless as we have all seen the signs all year. Well, except for AV obviously. Big year coming up for him. I don't expect him to turn it around - he hasn't been able to change it up at all.

We could end up with 50 shots today.

Our Corsi must be great!

100%

Carried the Rangers for the past 10 years*

 

[Mac n Gs]

Skjei is a stud

 

[Black Aces]

Shame Yandle's last game as a Ranger is such a blowout. He was a good solider, and the team is going to regret it for the next 5+ years when they let him walk

He is not worth what he will command

 

[Glennsoe]

Where was THIS defence in the 2nd period?

 

[nyrleetch]

They are chanting "Go home, Rangers."

Seems offensive, going to get Mario to write a letter about it.

 

[haohmaru]

Actually it was exposed well before the playoffs... It just continued and Hank played badly as well.

Hey, Hank had a **** game. No doubt. Give up 8 or 9 PP goals and score 2 doesn't help either in a series. So, so bad defensively. I had little optimism this year which is markedly different from the previous 4.

I really don't think so. He's not worth a 6/7 x 7 deal approaching 30. This team has to learn no more.

He was horrific all series after having a good year. But see what Diaz has done for the PP by just shooting the puck? I don't want Yandle back unless he shoots the puck more.

Let us down from what?

This team was Upper middle at best this year. And they haven't even played like the lowest of playoff teams 3 weeks before the season ended.

We get it. It's the 5th or 6th post like this you've made today and the 70,000 you've made this series.

Guy had a crap game. He's not absolved. Get over it and learn to analyze hockey from an objective viewpoint.

Exactly, Rangers score two ****ing goals in the first for once the whole series and the dudes can't stop either of two quality chances, one of which goes wide. Then he proceeds to stop o of the next 4 quality chances.

We get it some of the shots were A+, but he's not being paid 8 mil to be anti raanta....who has actually been better lol

Lundqvist hasn't stopped a good chance when it mattered all damn series.

We could have gotten so much more out of Yandle this series had AV after winning game two not scratched ****ing McIlrath. What the **** is that **** btw. That pairing was spectacular in Game 2 and Yandle took that game over.

Eric Staal. Ranger legend.

 

[Black Aces]

They probably took the last two years personally.


Lets see what they do when they face a real team

 

[Mac n Gs]

Auf at least wait for us to lose first

 

[*Bob Richards*]

If you get rid of Games 1,3,4 and 5 we probably win this series.

 

[Trxjw]

Not really worried. Once we get to the playoffs, the team will turn it on and we should be able to beat a streaky Pens team with a rookie goalie.

 

[JT Kreider]

Can't and won't pull for TB. **** Boyle and Stralman and Captain Cally.

St. Louis for me.

I don't hold a grudge against Callahan like most others do.

I mean he watched this team throw countless of dollars at players and he gave his life for this team and he felt he deserved to get paid like everyone else this team has thrown stupid money at.

What made him so different from the Gomez/Redden/Richards etc. that he couldn't get his?

Same. Very sad. I missed two games and wasn't even upset that I did.

 

[Glennsoe]

we should've tanked against Detroid...

I agree, but I still think Hank when he's locked in saves a few of the goals tonight. He has seemed a bit off this season as a whole. Gotten yanked quite a bit and just not as rock solid as we've grown accustomed to.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Thats the point of my original post, but the person above has trouble understanding.

If you read my post history at all you'd see this is an outright lie
