Post-Game Talk: Rangers / Sabres - Haley is a Second Liner

[Blueshirt Special]

back into the abyss we go....

 

[jniklast]

Stepan and Cally really tried. Those two almost produced another SHG.

Yeah, the PK was a bright spot, but mostly due to the Buffalo PP being even worse than ours. Which boggles my mind. But at 5-on-5 even Stepan and Callahan were underwhelming. But if I have to choose stars for the game, I guess they get my votes.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Honestly, not one of worst efforts, maybe defensively, but I would be happy with our offense controlling the game like this in the first and third period. Just score some ****ing goals please.

 

[Zuuuuc]

Really bad game. Forget it ever happened, then never let it happen again. Good on the PK but the fact that they scored goals shorty after a failed PP twice was what did us in.

 

[silverfish]

so... before we trade Gaborik for just anything.. Can Torts do me a favor and put him on his natural side (RW) and as far away from Boyle and Miller as he can possibly be? The guy is coming off shoulder surgery, playing off his natural side and playing with the likes of Brian Boyle holy **** who wouldn't suck

Far away from Miller!? No Way! That's the guy Torts is playing people with to get them going, haven't you been paying attention? He's scored in one game of his seventeen, he's a beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast like Boyle.

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pyatt - Richards - Gaborik
Haley - Boyle - Callahan
Miller - Halpern - Powe

Do it.

 

[GFiP*]

Honestly, we should see if we can get a 1st for Gaborik. Maybe Philly is really desperate.

I don't think any team is stupid enough to do that. Even Philly.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Eh, this season is shaping up to look like '11. I think we are clawing our way for 7/8 spot. Tonight was a night the Rangers had to win and they didn't. We are bubble team. It is what it is, no reason to get mad...

Pens are probably going to run a train on us. Especially for the fact that the lines need a serious shakeup again.

Miller needs to be centering. Boyle needs to be off third line. The experiment for Gabs at LW needs to end ASAP...

Hags-Step-Nash should probably be reunited..

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Aside from being just a **** tier game, it was also boring as ****.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This is a game to put in the bank. You pull it out when the team ends the season in 9th place.

You can't lose to one of the worst teams in the league if you expect to make noise in the playoffs. You just can't.

 

[NCRanger]

This isn't the first time Enroth has done that **** against the Rangers.

Before anyone accuses me of being a Hank hater, he did not have a bad game. However, he has to control his rebounds.

Officiating=horrible. Not so much in bad calls against the Rangers. All penalties were legitimate. But, Buffalo got away with three or four blatant penalties in the second period, of course, only to have one called in the third that was beyond weak.

 

[z1co80]

Good - Cally, Stepan

Bad - Shoots Wide, Invisible Man, Brian Makes My Boil

 

[nyrpassion]

wow, possibly the first game nash was invisible.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Far away from Miller!? No Way! That's the guy Torts is playing people with to get them going, haven't you been paying attention? He's scored in one game of his seventeen, he's a beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast like Boyle.

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pyatt - Richards - Gaborik
Haley - Boyle - Callahan
Miller - Halpern - Powe

Do it.

Hagelin - Richards - Gaborik
Pyatt - Stepan - Nash
Powe - Miller - Callahan
Haley - Halpern - Boyle

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I can't even blame the officiating. Yeah it sucked but this is one of those games you should just win on default.

Of course nothing ever comes easy to this team.

 

[Championship*]

Knew this was a loss the second every ****ing beat writer mentioned Enroth's record

Huge loss. Just not good enough.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Far away from Miller!? No Way! That's the guy Torts is playing people with to get them going, haven't you been paying attention? He's scored in one game of his seventeen, he's a beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast like Boyle.

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pyatt - Richards - Gaborik
Haley - Boyle - Callahan
Miller - Halpern - Powe

Do it.

Miller should be on the 3rd line over Boyle, at least offensively.

 

[OverTheCap]

The defense is pretty shaky without Staal. Laughable how some people think he is expendable.

 

[highandwide]

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The Good:
Callahan, Stepan, Del Zotto, and I guess Stralman.

The Bad:
McDonagh and Girardi. Oh and Gilroy.

The Invisible:
Nash, Richards, Gaborik, Lundqvist

I can agree with this except for Richards. I would either put him in the good or leave him off. He had a solid game tonight. Nash was invisible mainly due to penalties.

 

[silverfish]

Hagelin - Richards - Gaborik
Pyatt - Stepan - Nash
Powe - Miller - Callahan
Haley - Halpern - Boyle

Miller has been ****, IMO. I want him back in the A already.

Don't want to split Hagelin and Nash either.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

wow, possibly the first game nash was invisible.

Torts needed to put him on the PK.. it seemed that was the only way he'd get on the ice.

 

[RangersFan]

Dump more, MOAR!

 

[Riverdale]

This is a game to put in the bank. You pull it out when the team ends the season in 9th place.

You can't lose to one of the worst teams in the league if you expect to make noise in the playoffs. You just can't.

At least not in the WAY we lose to these teams, all the time.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Miller has been ****, IMO. I want him back in the A already.

Don't want to split Hagelin and Nash either.

I would send him down just for that giveaway towards the end.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pyatt - Richards - Gaborik
Haley - Boyle - Callahan
Miller - Halpern - Powe

Do it.

I agree with the lineup, but Miller and Boyle should be shifted. I absolutely want Cally/Miller together..
