Very unlucky. Puck going a least a foot wide and hits square off kleins chest and in. That is suck luck
As awful of a game as Staal has played, that last goal isn't on him. The fact that we have sucked for the past few years on face offs and have done nothing, other than place one of our best face off men on waivers and lose him for nothing, is the reason that they scored that goal there. Just be competent on face offs and tie up and we win.
And if he attacks him and leaves the front of the net open we're bitching about that. Win the face off and game over.
Granted ill find a way to show my hatred for staal...but i still think u have to go after their top player Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
And that's why it's a god damn joke to have Boyle on the ice in OT. He's fucking useless. He might as well not even be on the god damn ice. Fucking joke. And AV thinks that fucking fossil should be playing over Dylan on the regular? What the fucking fuck. Jesus.
Kings simply will always find a way to pull it out of their ass against the Rangers. Once regulation ends the game becomes a gimmick. Take the point and move onto the Flyers.
Staal was so embarrassing to watch I cringed every time this moron was on the ice. Why would you have him on the ice at the end of the game when he sucked all game?
Dylan had good game but hardly played the third period and not at all the last 5 minutes when could have used his defense and ability to get the puck the fuck out of the zone. AV is just lost with how he deploys the defense I.T.
Regardless of the outcome you gotta admit that what looked like a beatdown by the Kings early became an entertaining game. I think the hockey gods evened things out with the Kopitar goal off Klein after Zucc's goal bounced in off Vinny earlier. Staal was brutal again tonight, he has to challenge Kopitar on the game tying goal since Klein was obviously in front of the net already but instead Marc does what he does best - nothing. When the Rangers defense quickly moves the puck up ice AV's offense can kick into gear, when Staal makes a boneheaded play like he did 7 seconds in allowing an opponent to set up their forecheck everything stops. Add JT to the list when he opted to make a cross ice pass instead of hitting the wide open man out of the zone. AV opted to give Klein 24 minutes of ice time and Kevin responded with a -3, Staal got 22 minutes and produced a -2 while McIlrath who is clearly the Rangers best RH dman only got 13 minutes and was a +1. I don't think Dylan even got a shift in the last 10 minutes of the third. Nice to see Hayes and Step get goals, the law of averages suggest that all the scoring underachievers to date should start to get things going. How many times have the Rangers given up a goal late in the game when their opponent pulls their goalie?
Same tools costing this team games each week. Staal and Girardi. Throw in Glass who destroys the offense of the the line and you have a coach that continues to be a moron with his roster choices.
Girardi played a solid game and was a +1. I don't know where you're coming from with that. Klein was -3 and Staal was -2 and where the major culprits. Is what it is with Staal right now. When it comes to Klein he should've been moved in the off season. I said then to sell high on him.
Klein has been bad for awhile now but like staal, girardi and boyle he falls under the untouchable definition for AV that keeps you on ice regardless of play called VETERAN. Its time for the writers to start asking AV what the fuck he is doing with dylan and why is his best RD in the press box each game unless someone is decapitated. And yes, the Stoll giveaway removing our best face-off man so we could keep broken GLASS on the roster continues to pay dividends.
