Boyle has not done anything but he has not fucked up yet either. AV wont have two rookies on D in the same game, let along playoffs. Unless there are injuries.
CAN WE FUCKING KEEP YOUR STICKS AWAY FROM THE ONLY FUCKING PLAYER THAYS WORTH A DAMN ON THIS TEAM???? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
I'm not sure how Staal allows that pass get to the front of the net. He's right there to knock it into the corner.
Fuck Eric Staal. I'd rather lose Eric Staal if it also means losing Marc. Marc is fucking useless. Good job you fucking dumbass. Can't keep your stick down and almost blind Hank and then just allow a guy to skate right down center and instead of covering him, you're puck watching and not watching out for the late guy. Asshole. He can't be gone from this team soon enough. I'd be all for losing Eric if it means that Mark isn't here next season either. It's 10000000% worth it to get rid of him. I just don't understand what the fuck Staal was doing on that goal. There's 3 Rangers ALL FUCKING PUCK WATCHING and none of them are looking at the two Pens wide open in front. Jesus Christ. Only this fucking team. Also, shocker, another goal in the last minute of the game.
Because he's a fucking moron and is puck watching and not playing the man flying down center of the ice. Also, Hank shouldn't have been in there. Raanta should've finished the last minute and let Hank give his eye a rest and make sure he's 100% ok.
What I was saying is the guy coming in front doesn't really matter if Staal does his job. He's facing the guy behind the net and can't block a pass from a guy two feet away from him?
I am sorry but NHL played their usual part in helping their darling team. Two PPs swung momentum to the pens.
He doesn't try to stop it with urgency though because he hasn't looked behind him and doesn't realize there's a Pen right behind him. He has ZERO situational awareness. Seriously. For all the times that these dmen drop to their knee to stop the pass, the ONE FUCKING TIME that they should have, they don't. Ughhh. Just an awful finish to a period we played well in. Offensively we're still not screening him nearly enough and giving him easy saves and we're not crashing the net enough. Can't keep shooting from the blue line and outside the circles with no traffic or defections and expect to score a goal.
We had the last PP and if you recall, the Pens almaot scored on it. The refs weren't the reason that the Pens scored at the end of the period. Our consistent ineptitude at the end of periods is why. The refs made a bad call on the Stalberg penalty, but evened it out with the snow shower call that is VERY RARELY called.
They were dominating until the refs called two questionable penalties on Stalberg. After that it evened out which ultimately led to the idiots on d allowing that goal with 17 seconds.
I hope AV grows some balls and "discusses" the officiating after the game. Total embarrassment to the game how this game has been called thus far between penalties, face offs with the Rangers constantly getting thrown out yet Pitt not getting thrown out even once.
