But it's ok. AV will tell us after the game how we have totally outplayed all theses teams lately and we're all good. Jesus Christ he's friggin clueless these days on what to do and it's too late in the season to change what most of us have said has been the issue all season long....the defensive game plan. This whole defensive system is useless and doesn't work and teams know it, but AV and his cronies refuse to change. That is the only reason I can't see this team winning a series. Not because the talent isn't there, because it is. But rather because of the poor coaching and lack of adapting and adjusting the game plan all season long from game to game and in game.
what irkes me the most is why this moron playing hank in back to back games after clinching the playoff spot? On top of that he never takes a timeout when the team is playing like a pile of crap.
I expected them to come out somewhat flat, but damn, they aren't even trying it seems like. AV would be wise to pull Hank after this period and just play it out with Raanta in net. Raanta should have started anyways. If you're going to rest Boyle and Hayes, the rest Hank and just throw in the towel and give it up.
Good thing AV played Glass and scratched Hayes. Best thing that could happen is Glass gets a 20 game suspension lol. I can hope at least. Especially given that him being suspended would be addition via subtraction.
It probably wont be a 20 game suspension. Maybe like 3 or so. He is not known as a dirty player and not a repeated offender.
The Rangers are treating this game like it is a preseason game. Why Hank is in this game is beyond me.
Good comeback win. Hopefully it's not too serious with Girardi but it looked like he was knocked out.
At least he was able to move and lift his arm...i would think its a shoulder sprain and he will not play the last two games but will be available game 1
I think G will be fine for next week. Funny though...both G and especially Staal stepping up now right...was hoping it would happen as the games got bigger. It is now a done deal...we are 3rd in the Met and open at Pitt OR will be the Atlantic WC and open at Florida (who has clinched the Atlantic now). If we beat the Isles on Thursday night we open at Pitt. If the Isles win it will be a tossup for 3rd/top WC. Either way no issues. Truth is you could very easily argue finishing as the top WC and moving into the Atlantic bracket, away from the Pens and Caps, is the better position, the Pens simply do not lose...won 13 of 14 now.
