So do we buy out Richards or Nash? Can we replace Nash with Kreider and then fill in the rest or do we buy out Richards and go after Statsny?
Have to agree. If the Rangers come out like this in game 5, they are just asking for trouble. They didn't really start going to the net until the last 5 minutes. Yeah Mason made some good saves, but he also left some rebounds, and if anybody in a Rangers jersey had bothered going to the net we might be looking at overtime or a 3-2 win. This is playoff hockey, and to win, you have to go for it for a full 60 minutes. Tonight, they just flat out did not!
You keep thinking that 28, and I will focus on what actually happens every single time in this situation. Not saying that in a rude way at all. Just saying it is what it is. What we do. And I agree Mess. That is what concerns me about Sunday. Flyers are 1-0 with Mason. Clearly will have a ton of confidence going for Sunday. We made it SO easy on him tonight though, so maybe when we crowd him Sunday it will un-nerve him. We'll see. Huge game though. Pretty much need to win in (and then BTW...we will lose at Philly Tuesday and play a game 7).
Nothing showed their lack of killer instinct then that 4-3 PP to start the third. Just passing the puck around like a bunch of fools instead of looking to get shots.
Respectfully you guys just don't get it. You guys go up and down like a yo-yo with the team. I have to agree if they play like this in game 5... That's the point, they don't do that. They do play like this when their back is not on the wall or they have a chance to take a two game lead. You would think by now you guys would understand how this team operates. And you said it Mess. The Flyers are not that good. We have clearly been the better team in this series IMO. That is the most frustrating part of this series Mess. We should be up 3-1 no doubt. But not how we roll.
Chuck, now you see how CK is missed. Could've used him in this series. Not using his injury as an excuse.
And ZERO moving around Mess. Literally standing still passing back and forth...back and forth on the egde. Have to wonder what they think was going to happen by doing that. Said after the 2nd that PP was huge, and in a lot of ways it was the game.
I am not mentioning Kreider. Teams play without players. Captains missing. Goalies missing. Didn't stop us for two very strong wins...NOPE. This was about getting dirty like you have to in order to win playoff games. We didn't do it...we lose. Don't want to hear about Kreider.
He's a forward with size. He's definitely missed. Not an excuse but it's a fact that he's what the Rangers lack.
What has happened in the past has no impact on THIS team. We have a whole new coaching staff and STILL can't get it done. And we haven't win a Cup in the past with this team, therefore we always lose a series, so I guess by going by THAT history in this situation, it says that we will inevitably lose, right? So why even bother playing right? The Rangers are in a BAD spot right now because the Flyers MAY have figured out how to control play against them. If you honestly aren't worried about this, you should be. Only sustained pressure Rangers had in the last period and a half was the last minute when they actually tried to score and went all out for the goal. They needed to play like that the whole time.
Yeah, of course it would be better to have him, and not have Carcillo in the top 9, but what are you going to do. I can't concern myself with that. Two 4-1 strong wins tell me this isn't about Kreider. It is about our want to really. We'll see how it goes...
No chuck. We do get it. The Rangers go up and down, win lose win lose, but at the end, they always lose out. We just would like it if they would actually play a game when they can go up 3-1 like they actually give a fucking shit and not like they can't wait for the next game since there's three more left to try and win 2
Okay, 28. It is why I can EASILY say 1-1 and 2-2 from day one. So easy to call. Very simple. But you tell yourself this is all different...LOL. Why are you posting still? We are done. 4-1 and 4-2 in 5 and 6 you said. Okay...series over. Thanks for stopping by.
They have won 3 playoff series the last two seasons 28. Doing pretty much this. I don't like it. I don't want it. BUT I do expect it because it is what they do. I rather not be a rat with the cheese and expect a different result every time I touch the cheese...LOL.
Wow this board is in full meltdown mode now after a crap effort. I HATED the game tonight but I'm not that worried about losing this series until we actually play an elimination game. They will play a very good game Sunday despite the horrible start time. Why? Because they lost tonight and this team with this core needs pressure to play well.

I think the Rangers will need to have Lundy steal the remainder of the series for them if you ask me.
One bad game and the Rangers are still averaging almost 3 goals a gm in the series and now we have to have Hank steal the series? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
