    This is the ONLY game Ottawa has outplayed us in. Like I said earlier, we'll focus on the wrong things. The Rangers totally controlled the series prior to this game. This series is not about this game. This series is about one team having total control, leading or tied virtually the whole series into game 6, having numerous 2 goal leads while the other team had none. Coach makes awful late game personnel decisions. Players (including Hank) come up small in late game situations. Ottawa, to their 100% credit, keeps battling and comes back and wins games 2 & 5 they never should have won. And we had nothing left for game 6 while Ottawa was filled with confidence.

    That's the series, not game 6.

    How about Smith with the weak job taking out Ryan on the last goal. C'mon man.

    There's been awful play from everybody including Smith who everyone thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    I wouldn't want to look for Nash, your not going to find him

    Nash actually has had a good game. I move him in the offseason though at the draft.

    Pretty harsh from Milbury...but, not without merit.

    Nash has actually had a good playoffs. In other years he was a void but this is one instance where the guy can't be expected to do it by himself out there. Many bigger culprits and the one I'm disappointed in the most is Kreider. He better be playing hurt with how bad and heartless he has been playing.

    Hayes and Stepan have been most pathetic imo but Kreider has been below average.

    Watching this team also has been scratching my head as to why Shattenkirk would be any kind of answer. He's another small guy which doesn't address what the Rangers could use on defense. Give me a big hard nosed guy who can clear the crease.

    You can thrown Miller and Hayes in there with Kreider for sure....although I am sure they are both playing with injuries...especially Miller.

    Great move Kreider! Back to a one goal game. This is going to be an interesting finish!

    Reverse psychology worked for Kreider but it doesn't excuse his constant disappearing acts.
