For a defensive team, we don't play defense very well. We give up far too many massive chances and guys are left open way too much.
These metaphors all make sense as I personally hate ketchup just like I hate this maddening hockey team.
They should be like mustard which implies that they put some muscle in their work. Instead they're like that purple colored EZ Squirtz crap that kids love. Just awful.
He stared blankly as several shots passed him and clanged back after hitting the crossbar or post. Either one would've been enough.

Funny you mention that, I was going to say something similar but the glass empty crowd tends to disagree that you can't use hitting posts as a positive. Which is funny because I can't even count the number of times I've seen people around here say "the opposition hit X amount of posts, had the posts not been there we would have lost so bad." Hypocrisy is a funny thing.
Assuming you're a Sens fan, hope they continue their embarrassment of the Habs

To quote my favorite movie The Shawshank Redemption: "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."
I have lost all hope on this team. Maybe if they win Games 3 and 4, but as of right now, this team's inconsistency has given me no reason to believe they can win 2 games of this series, let alone 4.

Capitals win 3-1.
Honestly, I'm almost hoping that it is a sweep at this point so the organization will see some change. If we are swept, any hope... any hope AT ALL, that we part ways with the inept coaching staff?
I know, the Tortorella advocates will claim "the players need to take some responsibility" but at this point he's worn out his welcome. Time to part ways and move on.
I can't picture us getting any quality chances against Holtby. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if we only scored 1 goal the remainder of the series. Tonight will be more of the same. Players like Boyle and Pyatt will get ice time on the PP over players like Brassard, our best defense man will be stuck out for a 3-4 minute shift because Tortorella has absolutely no confidence in his team, and we will lose.
I'm getting really depressed with the predictability and non-sense choices of Torts.

If being swept out 4 straight guaranteed Torts getting canned, I would be tempted to root for it. This just means I would avoid watching the games, because I cannot root against them. Torts is an ineffective motivator and terrible tactician. The bullying, intimidation approach is not working, nor is his boring, defensemen and wingers as human shields system successful.
Great GDT, no time to be fancy!
The Rangers have to keep possession of the puck more or they will be down by three after this is over. My advice, don't listen what Torts say about the middle zone and try play through it somehow and enter the offensive zone with the puck.

Doubt it. Zucc has played well in this series so far. If Clowe plays Im guessing Asham sits.

reports were that zucc was on the point for PP this morning in practice. doubt he sits for clowe
Serious?!?! What about Pyatt. This is a no brainer. HE BRINGS NOTHING TO THE TABLE!!! If the thought of sitting Zucc instead of Pyatt (if Clowe returns) then Tortorella deserves to be fired on the spot.
I have been watching Pyatt closely game in and game out he brings zero. Even his big frame is useless. At least Boyle has some skating legs and can PK. Same goes for Powe.

Jim Cerny: Marc Staal took part in morning skate today, but rushed out of locker room...clearly did not want to answer the "are you playing?" questions...just a hunch, I think he is in tonight
Live chat going on with Cerny right now at blueshirtsunited

Im not the coach who makes the decisions. But judging on the past Im betting its Ash who sits.

If that actually happens (Zuccarello being a healthy scratch) I am done with the Rangers for the remainder of Torts' reign.

If Staal is healthy enough to play, he needs to play. Period. If this is really just a "mental" thing with him? He needs to just get on the ice and play. Hopefully he is good to go tonight.
