Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs. Penguins 4/24: Win Series 4-1

[IAMREALITY]

Meh...

The Rangers shanked and blew a bunch of opportunities.

I think Fleury played less ****** than he usually does in the playoffs.

Sorry, but I think you're out of your mind. Fleury was phenomenal overall and kept them in every game. It could've been 5-1 last night. I don't mind giving him the credit where it's due. I was actually quite impressed with his play. But saying all he accomplished was simply being less ****** is plain silly.

Although there was a degree of hyperbole and gloating due to clinching the series, I still think Fleury did not "stand on his head."

He played well (i.e less ****** that he has played in the playoffs for years), and the Rangers flubbed and blew wide a ton of shots.

This wasn't Ken Dryden. In fact, I think that most of the Penguins team played much hungrier than I and many people expected.

Saying he was phenomenal overall is also silly.

Again, this wasn't exactly Kirk Maclean is game 1 of the 1994 SCF.

Not silly at all to say he was overall phenomenal. He simply was. Saying that doesn't mean he had to have one of the best playoff performances ever. Your perception is warped and biased. But that's ok. Doesn't really matter.

I don't think it is a stretch to call Fleury's play phenomenal. He was great and the only reason the Pens were in this series.

Coyotes fan, really miss Yandle. How has he been for you though? Hope he's made an impact. I haven't seen any games for you since he left.

Well he's outscoring every other deadline acquisition. He played the series sick and had 2 primary assists in 5 games. He's been solid. Love how excited he gets for goals

Maybe we are having a semantic issue with "phenomenal." I thought the denotation was stronger. Perhaps, I was thinking of the general connotation.

I looked up "Phenominal" in Merriam-Webster

phenomenal
adjective phe·nom·e·nal \fi-ˈnä-mə-nəl\
: very good or great : unusual in a way that is very impressive

I was impressed that he was unusually not a playoff choke job.

Before reading the exact definition, I would reserve the word phenomenal for how Lundqvist played. I think Fleury played very well, but it's also biased and warped to think he "stood on his head" when the Rangers flubbed and blew a ton of chances.

He's an absolute joy to watch and I love him. He will be a very significant part of any deep run we make. I also absolutely love his enthusiasm. He's consistently one of the most excited players when we score or win.

Are you cheering for us just so you and halleJOKEL can have a fan base war in the finals?

Congrats on the series win. Would love to see an Islanders-Rangers showdown in the next round. Hopefully the Islanders can do their part to make it happen.

Machinehead is a total no-show. Don't Nash it up, man. Where's the video?

 

[IAMREALITY]

By the way, a bit random, but did any of you catch the double OT game 7 Matteau clip during the postgame last night that actually had Sam Rosen's call? I don't think I've heard that version of the call ever since!!

I think he went to see Zucc's dentist to remove all the hair from his teeth.

Give the guy a break.

He's been good. Great passer, monster at keeping the puck in on the blue line, better than advertised defense.

P.S. I think for many Ranger fans, 'Zona is now our second favorite team.

Seen a few responses, glad he's doing well for you guys! And yeah, I loved when we scored a goal when he was on the ice. Looked like he was a kid in a candy store. Hope he continues to make an impact, best of luck to you guys this year in the playoffs!

Best of luck!

RIP Crosby
