Hi everyone!  Goodguyinsports here.  Lundqvist is back to take on Anaheim, and I’m in attendance.   There were audible “Let’s Go Rangers” chants during warmups.

    Way to go Rangers! Don’t let Pitt tank you out of 4th place.

    NHL referees. What a joke.

    They’re all snout the dump and give the puck to the other team play now. Remember when they skated the puck into the offensive zone with confidence the first half of the season?

    These days I have more confidence in the team if they play poorly in the first period. That way at least I know their best play is still ahead.

    Other than Tomb, nobody has made that stylistic objection as well.

    Where’d that kid get the faked up Rangers jersey? Made in Indonesia?

    From what Kenny Albert just said about San Jose, we’re going to lose the next one too. The sharks have lost 6 straight in regulation. They’ll probably shut us out.

    Is this game being digitally altered and it’s actually at home? Cuz that would make sense.

  18. Evrockriser Avatar

    Every guy with the puck seems to want to skate through two opposing players. Smh

    They may still clinch tomorrow without doing a thing. If the Islanders lose in regulation

  25. Evrockriser Avatar

    Why did they pull Lundqvist? Doesn’t AV know that the Rangers play better when they have less or the same amount of players on the ice as the opposing team?

    And Captain McD decides to join the idiot party. 6 goals against. The Ducks don’t score that much. Terrible.

  30. Evrockriser Avatar

    He literally passed it to the other team. Seriously? You’d think he was trying to throw the game…..that was already thrown….

    They actually called a penalty. Wow these refs dont miss a thing, huh?

    That’s what I was saying beezle.

    Not their greatest third period.

    Good Sunday night entertainment though, for two periods.

  37. Evrockriser Avatar

    At least the extra point wasn’t good.

    Did we lose to the Avalanche or the Ducks?

  39. Evrockriser Avatar

    At least the refs helped our pk out a little bit with that late penalty call.

    I think anyone that starts a sentence with “At least” should be shot.

    Pass % these last two games has to be around 11%. They must track that somewhere?

    Sure the goals were nice plays but man the simple passes, just not there.

    The eye test says yikes.

  43. Evrockriser Avatar

    I’m pretty confident that people who start a sentence with “I think anyone who” should be drawn amd quartered.

    Zucc took a ton of abuse tonight. Kesler was chasing him around. Lindholm abused him too. The best news is that you cannot blame Henrik. The bad news is that the defense was brutal as was the backchecking.

    Yup- this team’s AWESOME. Come on everyone… have faith! We’re magically going to pull it together in the playoffs and get hot. Playing .500 hockey is THE recipe for a deep run, didn’t you know?

    Rangers fans represented. The atmosphere here is usually so boring. Tonight was fun. Too bad the Rangers took the 3rd period off.

    Really looking forward to the Hank sucks narrative that will be everywhere… On the bright side neither Klein or Staal was the worst Dman tonight! I’m giving that honor to the Captain (which is, of course, a rarity). Let’s hope the Fishsticks lose tomorrow, we clinch, and Hank gets some support against San Jose. Too much wishful thinking?

  54. Evrockriser Avatar

    I wish the team would let us know before games which ones they’re going to take off. Then we can make better plans. Wouldn’t that be courteous?

    Yeah. That would be nice. I could have left after 2 and had a nice steak dinner.

  56. Old Ranger Fan Avatar

    So was this the annual west coast s##t show or do we have that to look forward to in San Jose? At least we didn’t have to lose sleep over it. After the season Gorton has to figure out if the frequent no shows are a lack of talent or some other reason. Do they need to change out the fancy passers for some north south guys? I’m certainly not smart enough to know.

    Worst D-man? I would say that defensively, the birthday boy looked pretty lost out there. Thought Hank looked okay despite allowing 5.

    After the shorthanded goal I called it a night. I knew right then that they weren’t going to win that game.

    Good morning! It is a bit icy out here on the ledge today, becareful outside!

    So those who think/hope Skjei is removed for the playoffs… Birthday boy led the team in even strength TOI and was 2nd overall. The newcomer, Mr. Smith, as last of the D. The kid, much like Tanner Glass, is the least of their problems.

    Having watched Auntie play that stretch (and his other games earlier in the year) I wonder how much Shampoo Boy’s inability to handle the puck plays into some of these disasters. Not only does Auntie save the D a little work (and potential for error), he sends the play back out quickly a lot too. Still beyond me after all these years why HL is so poor in that aspect of the game.

    Good morning, boneheads!
    Hank was far from stellar. Expected. McDonagh was dreadful. Maybe it’s time to decrease his minutes. 6 games to go, they’re not going to miss playoffs, or fall out of the 1st wild card place. McDonagh will have his share come April.

    Glad I went to bed after 1st period. (Actually fell into a coma on the couch)

    Beezle,
    I don’t hope Skjei is the odd man out, but I do think AV will eventually come to that decision. As far as Smiths TOI last night. 7 minutes in penalties, including a 5 minute major that lasted a few minutes more than 5 because there was no stoppage. And just so everybody understands where I am coming from, I think Skjei should be the number two left side D, and should be playing a lot more than he does. You need to ride the young legs.
