The Good: Glass

The Bad: Lundqvist

The Richards: The Rest of the Team

The St Louis: St Louis

This is why you do not trade two first round picks for a 40 year old.

The Good: Glass

The Bad: Lundqvist

The Richards: The Rest of the Team

The St Louis: St Louis

Seriously, thank you for this. Just laughed out loud for a good 10 seconds. Felt good.

 

[TankLarkin]

St Louis is becoming Redden-like.

 

[Thunderhead]

They won 4 straight. A loss was coming and severity matters not.

True .

 

[varsaku]

Klein seemed to be out of position many times. One of the reason why Killorn scored that 6th goal for TBL.

 

[darko]

Bad game. These thing happen. Forget about it and move on.

Win Game 3 or 4 and we have the advantage again.

 

[Raspewtin]

Everytime I say Marc Staal can't get any worse, he does.

Jeez. He was barely an NHL player tonight.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Hank's worst game since he came back from injury. Easily.

That stupid ass giveaway at the beginning of the period started the entire unraveling.

Meh. He wasn't good but MSL and Staal having seizures on the ice led to the type of game the team never recovered from.

I didn't see the 6th goal, but the first 5 were not on him. In light of that, his worst game was the one against Boston for sure.

Oh and I have lost all hope in this team. I hope we advance and someone quotes me on this and proves me wrong, but our team is completely incapable of ever putting together a game like this. They're so offensively inept, their is absolutely no way we beat this team. We're cooked.

 

[bouds]

On the bright side, we played pretty good 5 on 5 hockey....lol

 

[trilobyte]

Team play was defecient tonight.
As others say, and I know from experience, this game has to be deep-sixed and just get ready for Game 3

What a completely bad game this was. If I was a casual hockey fan, or even a hardcore follower of hockey watching out of interest, and not a Rangers follower, I would have just watched Gordon Ramsay or something.

It's not even worth picking on particular players.
Get real. This game stunk to high heaven.

 

[poeman]

Anyone else getting bad feed from NBC SN near the latter half of the game?

Game is freezing and I cannot even watch, keeps freezing

 

[Mac n Gs]

Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.

I don't even think we played that badly.

We didn't. Look at some of the bounces Tampa got early. DMPD said it, how often do you see two blown tires lead directly to two goals in one game?

 

[KingP]

Its simple

We lost because we dont finish and cant beat Bishop. They get so much momentum from that


You cant win a Cup when your best player is D Moore

 

[Ail]

Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.

I don't even think we played that badly.

Not entirely.

When the opposing team is up 2—1 because of two blown tires, it's hard to take anything from that. The rest is just stupid penalties and mistakes.

 

[Raspewtin]

Meh. He wasn't good but MSL and Staal having seizures on the ice led to the type of game the team never recovered from.

Oh yeah definitely, but I've ripped into them all GDT.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

I said before the series started that the winner of special teams would win the series. It doesn't look good right now.

 

[Riche16]

Funny id make them watch it over and over again and then make them skate until they puke. They would each get a copy on blueray to take home and place in a central area of the mantle... Each would have its own engraved case with their name, # and plus minus on it.

 

[Tackaberry]

I tried to watch the msg post game but they started with the shorty and I turned it off.

 

[darko]

Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.

I don't even think we played that badly.

We didn't play all that badly. They took their chances and we didn't. That 5 on 3 was a kick in the nuts.

 

[ChrisKreider20]

We were sloppy and lost on special teams. Tampa Bay was also very lucky... Got some key bounces that really tipped the game in their favour. We're better than them. We just can't get into a special teams battle b/c we'll lose.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

I wish we could goon it up when we're down 6-2 too bad this team is like full of player who are under 6 feet

 

[varsaku]

Just an awful game. Sloppy defense, carelessness with the puck, horrid penalties, and just bad handling the puck.

Marty was horrendous, wow is he snakebitten
Can we get someone other then Kreider and Stepan to score?

Rick Nash are you there??????? This is a new series, come on man

haha, I actually forgot he was playing.

 

[Raspewtin]

We didn't play all that badly. They took their chances and we didn't. That 5 on 3 was a kick in the nuts.

Really set the tone for a night of uggggggggggggly hockey.

 

[chosen]

It's not like we got dominated, just everything that could have gone wrong, did.

I would love to know what it takes for you to think a team was dominated.
