Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs Senators - Game #81

[GOAT AINEC]

Better hope this loss doesn't come back and bite them in the ass.

The Senators can easily beat the Rangers in the playoffs and having home ice against them won't matter since they are like 7-0-1 at MSG

 

[The Gloaming]

See guys? McD touched the President's Trophy and we got shut out. The curse is real.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I recognize 100% that it doesn't matter, but that is not how I like to see a team gear up for the playoffs.

Hopefully they can turn it back on just as easily.

Agreed. I didn't think they were too awful. I thought the game in general sucked. It's more concerning IMO for the Sens who didn't do much 99% of the game against a team that was resting its best players and going through the motions.

 

[Machinehead]

Saturday is a must-win. Hank needs to get #30 and it's never ok to lose to Washington.

Yeah tonight was one thing, but I cannot watch us lose to Washington. Ever.

 

[Florida Ranger]

It felt like an exhibition game. Pretty much a meaningless game besides Hank going for number 30. I wanted to a see a win, but it's obviously not a big deal we lost. The players looked chill.

 

[LottieDottie]

all teams should be playing their hearts out each game. anything else is pathetic.

Two Tone Malone, u da real MVP.

I got nothin, that was like watching a preseason game.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

We spent 2 first round picks and Callahan on him. We need him to show up if we want to win the Cup. The fact that he has looked disastrous for the better part of the season is worrying.

Disastrous? He's a 55-60 pt player who missed time. He's a purely offensive player who's always trying to make a play. I'm not at all worried about him.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

We actually played pretty well and Hammond was the difference. Hank played pretty well too.

This was the one game I didn't mind losing.

 

[trilobyte]

Whenever players are rested, I just don't consider it the real team playing.
Maybe baseball lets you get away with a bit of that, but not really a hockey team.

Cannot wait for the Caps game.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I would like to see a final dress rehearsal next game with everyone playing except Klein. Don't want too much of a break and don't want 2 straight losses to finish the season.

 

[eco's bones]

Bourque looked pretty good in his first game. We had a good first period and then kind of went into sleep mode--waking up intermittently. Didn't really give Hammond much of a hard time. I think he saw pretty much every shot we took at him.

 

[aemoreira1981]

The Rangers did their part. However, that may not be enough to keep the Islanders from sweating, as they may clinch with a Bruins loss (they're trailing).

 

[OnlyTruth]

Saturday is a must-win. Hank needs to get #30 and it's never ok to lose to Washington.

I just want the 2 points to set the team record.

 

[Wolfy*]

How stupid to play Hank tonight. Lets hope he wasnt hurt, a reaction usually shows the next day.

 

[Sirius Vivace]

Great line from the play by play guy:

"And the Bruins are taking on Water!"

He didn't look right since.

 

[danktopshelf]

Fine with it. Jut get on with it. Hopefully our starting Goalie will be completely healthy when the playoffs start. Let's go Panthers and go win the CUP boys

 

[nevesis]

“@PLeonardNYDN: Lundqvist says he's fine. Initially he was scared/worried but realized he was Ok and after a minute or so wasn't affected by it at all #NYR”

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

He didn't look right since.

Did you watch the flurry of saves he made in the 3rd?

 

[Machinehead]

The one night we dominate in corsi we lose 3-0. I'm done.

[Ori]

We played well as a team tonight, but the Senator goalie was the difference for sure.

Welcome to Carolina's season.
