There is nothing on the Ranger roster says that they can turn things around. Very frustrating to see this happen at this time of year. How's that for realty! Ugly and hard to swallow.
I love the fact how quickly chuck throws players under the bus. He loved MSL...could not stop gushing over him. Now MSL is showing his age and chuck has thrown MSL really quickly under the bus. Chuck loved the Yandle trade to death. Now Yandle is struggling and he has turned on him really quickly. Some honest and realistic fan our chuck is.
I really hope the Rangers win game 4 so all of these chicken-littles will quiet down (at least for a couple days).
I agree with cage. When Kings were down 0:3 to Sharks, Kings actually played well those games. There wasn't a single game in the playoffs even with Zucarello that I felt easy. No 4:1 games or 3 goal leads like during the season. I think it is simple, changes needs to be made in the offseason. We need to improve on faceoffs, replace St.Louis and Boyle at the very lease with bigger guys who can bring physical presence. Lucic type players on defense and offense. Maybe it is time to let Stepan go too?
LMAO at this board Hilarious posts. This team is fucking RESILIENT. I am VERY confident in winning G4. I get the issues they are concerning but I expect G5 to be tied 2-2. 3 games into 2nd round only down 2-1 and people giving up on Step and team. Lol
I have little confidence in this team right now. I don't think people are understanding what is going on with the team. You have two guys who are supposed to be big parts of the offense at their positions in St. Louis and Boyle who are relics and have totally lost their game due to age and are washed up. You have Nash who once again has turned into a pansy and is useless offensively. You have the guy who made the first line go in Zucc out indefinitely. There is a ton going wrong with this team right now. On top of that, you have three rookie forwards in the line-up who aren't just going to walk in and save the day.
Nash, St. Louis, Zucc and Boyle accounted for 34% of the teams goals this season. Right now, all of them are useless for a variety of reasons. The team is in a lot of trouble. Some of our fans need to wake up and realize that.
Just have to win game 4. All that matters. People jumping ship or doubting the team now means nothing. All comes down to tonight. All the people doubting the team will jump right back on if they tie up the series tonight. And if they lose tonight then their backs are against the wall, and it will be a big longshot they would win the series still, but you go play the games. All I know is if they get beat tonight there will be plenty of time for doubting the team, so I won't go there now. As Dis said this team has been real good at bouncing back, so at the very least I would expect a great effort tonight. Can they score enough to win...don't know, but I expect them to play hard. To me I view tonight as a coin flip game, just as I viewed game 3. My take is Yandle had an awful game 3, so I expect him to bounce back. He is a very good dman that had a terrible game, and wasn't great in games 1 & 2 either. He is due for a good game, unless he is hurt. MSL I don't expect much from anymore because he is 40 and I simply don't think he has much left. He was a huge reason we made the SCF last season, but he is running on fumes now. I hope he has some gas left to play a few good games here and help the Nash/Brass/MSL line score some goals. Boyle is up and down. He has made some nice plays on O. He does get chances. He also makes some soft plays in his own end. That's what he is now. Some good and some bad. As a 6th dman you could do a lot worse. Let's hope we get more of the good Boyle tonight. So you go out and play tonight. Get a win and we are back in a good spot. Get beat and we are in a position that by %'s is very difficult to comeback from. All about game 4..
Sometimes people forget there is another team that has a huge hand I'm what happens. Have the rangers played their A game yet... Nope... Have they picked themselves off the matt each time the lost.... Yep... Sticks are tight.. Nerves are tight.. Go out and play tight forehead Ranger hockey, regain home ice and calm everyone down. Have we forgotten we have played Crosby malkin and now OV? Playoff games should be hard fought tight games. We will rise up and play a game tonight and will win by one goal. And instead of being happy... People will bitch oh we have to always be in pressure.. Always have to hang on... Who gives a fuck how you win. A win is a win dammit.
You just knew... How fucked up.. Why did you simply turn the game off? Everyone knows... Everyone has this crystal ball... Did you know the caps would score with 1 second remaining too? What's the winning lotto numbers tonight? Will my son go 3 for 4 in tonight's baseball game? Help me out nostradomus
They can win the cup w Boyle and St L sucking. Team is deep. They cannot win the cup w Nash not playing well. The fact is if the best road team in NHL wins tonight they have best of 3 w home ice. Most on this board jumps off a cliff after every loss I am very concerned about Nash and success in playoffs. I am not yet concerned about this series as I think they win tonight because that's what they do and they are mentally tough and resilient
This team has very rarely, if ever, put out two stinkers in a row. I'd argue that last game wasn't even a real stinker although it's tough to find positive when you dont even score. There are a lot of guys on this roster with playoff experience, even younger guys, who know what they have to do. I'm confident for tonight's game. Just get pucks to the net, keep stretching their D with our rush and breakouts, and we'll break through.
Its getting out of hand. So depressing you think the stupid series was over. Until we lose a fourth game I'm going to expect our team to win!
