Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Sens 3/26 - PUT AN X NEXT TO IT

[OnlyTruth]

Funny enough I thought for sure you were gonna say truth idk why lol close

He is never on my side. For some reason he just has a huge appreciation for what goalies do in general. I can't fault him for that.

I do to I played only a few emergency games and it was one of the hardest positions on the rink I ever played

This is an absolute laser beam. I am sorry, it might sound easy to stop on paper (he's not screened!) but in reality, you have zero time to react, you just hope it hits you. It's hard for people to understand what it looks like from a goalies POV, but just because he's in the NHL doesn't mean the puck moves any slower. Talbot is a human being, and is flawed like the rest of us. He is not a robot!

It had eyes for the net. It's a bomb. Players score goals. This is not an example of a 'soft goal'

laserbeams travel at 670,616,629 MPH.

I'd say at best that's 100mph.

Youre exaggerating.

i played goalie at a ladies practice session here in atlanta. first time ever.

the newbies lit me up like it was the 4th of july.

its sooooo much harder than it looks.

So used to scoring with the ladies, but when the tables are turned and they are scoring on you, doesn't feel quite as good eh?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Can't we enjoy the win without going into these arguments about how goalies never give up soft goals unless they're from the other side of the blue line because nevesis is a goalie?

Yes, goalie is like half of the team. Very important and difficult position. That's why I emphasize on this a lot. If you noted, that LA goalie(ghhhr) literally stole the cup from us last season.

Okay, what about the Robidas, Boychuk and Savard goals?

Those are the ones I was referring to anyway. His game has tightened up a bunch since since (Talbot has given up a grand total of 1 goal this month that I'd qualify as "soft") but those three are shots he has to stop.

His rebound control sucked balls in February too.

the distance from the blueline to the crease is what...64 feet right? so if the goalie is standing say 62 feet from the point of the shot, and the shot is coming in at say, 95mph that gives the goalie....incoming math...


assuming that's correct, that gives the goalie 1/2 a second to react to the shot before it's by him.


did i do that math right?

sheesh.

What's annoying is that I'm sure this is true, but you can't just excuse every poor goal that way. This is the NHL and these are best goalies in the world. Honestly, I'm a poor skater, it's harder than it looks. I'm an even worse hockey player. Basically what I'm saying is that Tanner Glass is awesome compared to me, hockey is so much harder than it looks.

the worst part was, all the ladies i was practicing with were shooting low, and i had a game 2 nights later so i didnt want to kill my quads dropping into the butterfly. it wasnt a game situation, it was basically breakaway after breakaway letting them work on stick handling. after like 4 times dropping i was like...eff that...and i just played standup lol.

at the end they did 5 on 5 and i did much better...its a LOT more fun actually playing goalie in game situations than it is in practice situations. and way different too.

If he "literally" stole the cup from us he'd likely be in prison.

Also, even figuratively he didn't steal the cup. If anything it was some ****** bounces and refs and the team leaving their balls in the lockerroom during 3rd periods of games.

i'd give at least 50% of the reason we lost the cup to AV playing prevent hockey against a physically dominant team. rangers should have upped the tempo if anything.

lol this is as silly as when the pro-Vermette crowd said that LA's center depth is what won them the cup last year.

Neither Quick nor their depth down the middle decided that series.

Watch the tape again. He was a wall. I was so frustrated with it, that I almost threw my TV on the floor.

Sens fan here. I just came to post that the Rags are the best eastern conference team of the last 4 or 5 seasons IMO. They've got loads of talent and play a disciplined, yet aesthetically pleasing game.

The Rags are going to be fun to watch in the playoffs, and I'm excited to see how they'll stack up if/when they make the finals again this year. Congratulations for getting to root for an awesome team this season!

He made great saves, but if we could hold leads in 3 games, the story would be different. Same for the refs' and their horrendous calls.

just an fyi...ranger fans dont appreciate people using demeaning nicknames about their team...even if it was in a complimentary post.

Thanks and I would like to highlight this post as an example of why people shouldn't lose their **** when someone says "rags". Like 95% of the board doesn't realize that it's used negatively by some of our rivals, nor understands its root.

It's really a difficult thing to judge. Rags is just an easier way of referring to the Rangers, like Sens, Pens, Habs, Nucks, Bolts, Isles etc. However, some people feel this word has a negative meaning depending on how it's used.

I don't mind the word "Rags" if it is used like this guy did, since he is just a Sens fan coming to talk about the game with no bad intentions at all.

I don't think he meant it as demeaning. Why are Rangers fans so damn sensitive? Clearly the context there shows that he was using it as a shorthand.

I don't get how the word "Rags" is supposed to be short for Rangers?

Thank you! It tells a lot how passionate Canada's fans are about hockey in general. I personally never have seen too many of Rangers fans who would go out and compliment fans from another team. It just negativity all the way, even towards their own fans. LOL.
