It's human nature. You have a team that has clinched going on the road to play a highly motivated team. He needs to play games and get the rust off. Who the fuck cares.
Right Messiah you're in their dressing room and you know everything they do. Human nature? that doesn't even make sense. They have a playoff spot clinched that's it, no home ice
Yeah lets hold Hank out of games as long as possible. You're just brilliant. Another one who just needs something to complain about.
The score is 3-0 so we should've started Hank against the Caps. About the dumbest thing I've ever read.
The Rangers played like a pile of crap that period, couldn't agree more. They simply didn't show up, couldn't agree more. None of that really surprises me. What does surprise me is the reaction in here. I know in fantasy world the Rangers should be as up for these games as the Kings and Bruins who are battling for their playoff lives...but reality is that will not happen game in and game out these last 10 or so games...it just won't. So if the reaction is to get all worked up after a lackluster effort get ready for that to happen a handful of more times the next 2 weeks. Fact is the Met is 98% done. Fact is we have home ice in rounds 1 and 2. Fact is we have been an awesome road team, so if we play the Habs in the ECF or the Blues or Preds in the SCF and don't have home ice, so be it. I wouldn't sweat it at all. We are not going to get optimal effort game in and game out for the next 2 weeks, and when we play teams desperate for points we may have a stinker. That's just reality guys whether you want to accept it or not. I am not upset about it, just the way it is.
You just saw it again there. 2 on 1 Boston as Talbot flies down the middle and no one on the Rangers is flying back. Again, Bruins want (and need) it MUCH more.
You know damn well Hank needs to get in games at this point to get the rust off before the playoffs. Your comment was completely idiotic so just get over it and move on.
It's all good strud. Mes is an idiot. I am an idiot. I agree with you. You go on and live in the fantasy world where we will show up with optimal effort and A game every night after locking up a playoff spot, and 98% having the Met locked up. I know reality is we will lose some games down the stretch to teams playing for their playoff lives. You can come on here and cry about it bro...LOL. Do I like it...OF COURSE NOT...but I also know it is reality. I am not going to get upset or try and draw bigger conclusions out of it. And I am also not going to pretend that because I say so the Rangers should have as much emotion and passion, as they try and get home ice in rounds 3 & 4, as teams playing for their playoff lives.
Wow shocking. Another dirty hit from behind by a Pens player. That's what you get NHL. You kissed their ass for years.
BTW...did I miss when the goals were Hank's fault. Should he have stopped those 3 goals? Maybe the 2nd Lucic goal, but still he was pretty much in alone. I know this is hard for you strud, but just accept we came out flat and with no emotion and Boston, to their full credit, took it to us. That simple really. Tip of the cap to them. Onto the 2nd period.
All I said Mess was they should have started him tomorrow Anyway, I'm pissed Comeau did that because my opponent in the fantasy league playoffs I'm in shot ahead of me in PMs because of that scrub
chuck I don't care about the game. Like I said 5 times alreay, I don't think they're letting teams off easy, I DEF agree they came out flat
