I hope he wakes up for the playoffs...that needs to be a must if we want to win the grand prize at the end.

What's up?

..Nothing is wrong with Nash - he just had flu.

What's up?

..Nothing is wrong with Nash - he just had flu.

I think he gets hot and goes around a ppg this time around. As long as he gets in and uses his size and skill to dominate the dirty areas he will be alright. I saw the perimeter shots but I also saw him get in on the forecheck a bit.

 

[Ori]

Yeah, I was worried, because it's playoffs.
I hope Nash scores soon - it'll be amazing to get him going. So I hope zuculini look for him all over the ice to get him on the scoreboard and a huge self confidence boost
for Nasher.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Not worried. 3 goals in the series vs Pittsburgh.

 

[Inferno]

I don't care if Nash has zero goals...I just want the wins. Dissect the lack of goals if we lose.

That's kind of where I'm at. If we're winning, I don't care all that much. If we start losing and Nash isn't scoring, it's time to start pointing the finger a bit more.

Since we are the defending cup champs, I can understand posters prudent stance with Rick Nash's lack of being a bull in a china shop.



Que Sera Sera...

This ^^ 100%.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Don't understand how people can already be complaining about Nash when we basically won last game after Nash and Brass outplayed the entire Pittsburgh team on the ice 30 seconds in.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Brass praised Nash first and foremost for that first goal. I think the team knows the pressure and microscope Nash is under after last post-season, and they're going to do everything to pump him full of confidence. Granted it wasn't a surefire goal for Brass, but I (almost) wouldn't care less if Nash ends up with 0 goals if he has 20 assists that lead to goals like that.

 

[we want cup]

That's kind of where I'm at. If we're winning, I don't care all that much. If we start losing and Nash isn't scoring, it's time to start pointing the finger a bit more.

It doesn't take long to go from winning to losing in the NHL playoffs. And usually once you do, the series is just about over. Last year's Cup final was evidence enough of that.

 

[Oak]

Nash played a safe game but much less energy than I am used to seeing from him. I am hoping that was the after affects of the flu and he will come in tonight with a lot more energy, and hopefully a goal.

 

[Ail]

I think he gets one tonight.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Why has he stopped driving to the net? The lack of goals doesn't concern me, but the fact that he's taking a ton of perimeter shots again does.

This. Has been this way since...mid-february ish? Baffling

 

[Sirius Vivace]

He drove to the net hard early in the game tonight....moving like a freight train. The play was broken up before they could pass the puck Nash's way, though. It also looked like he had 2 guys on him ... and they were grabbing & clutching at him as he was moving. I'm seeing effort on Nash's part.

Yup, ever since Bogosian punched him in the back of the head vs Buffalo in Feb he has never been the same.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I think Rick Nash got rid of his Direct TV.

agreed..he also drove the net hard a few times and his teammates inexplicably didnt pass to him. brassard also had him wide open in front of the net and didnt pass it to him.

i thought his line did a terrible job getting him the puck.

 

[Raspewtin]

He's not getting the puck a lot from his linemates, and when he does, he's not in a great position.

He went right to the net multiple instances tonight but got no puck to show for it. He only attempted two shots tonight. You gotta get him the puck in good areas, starts with Zuccarello and Brassard, the former of which I have not been thrilled with these playoffs.

 

[Ail]

I think he gets one tonight.

Lolol

Well, when you're right, you're right.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Lolol

Well, when you're right, you're right.

With just seconds and minuscule meaning to spare, Rick Nash through his stat line off. When he looks at the box score tonight before going to sleep, he can proudly say he's scoring.
