Richards wide open net and into the pad. Zucc a wide open net and misses it. Kreider on the break and off the blocker.
Ryan McDonagh deserves to get called out in this one for his soft play on defense. First of all his terrible giveaway lead to a goal in this game and then on the game winner he's standing behind Brown like a fucking idiot. Doesn't even make an attempt to tie the man up. Deflection....score....game over.
The good news is the Kings had no business winning that game. The Rangers outplayed them for most part despite all the issues. The bad news is the Kings had no business winning that game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm not really that surprised though. Kings know how to win these games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't think I agree with that sc. Game 1 we were step for step through 2 periods. The 3rd was awful. OT never really got going to make a call. Tonight I think we outplayed them overall IMO. And worst case it was a go anyway kind of game. We also had four 2 goal leads in two games. So I think we have been right there. What they have is what Dis is saying, they have an IT and know how to win these games. We need to get that, and maybe we will after this series. Now I do still think we need one more big dman to do work in front, but outside of that I think we really are a solid team. This should be a 1-1 series. The shame of it is now we have to do it all again. Not easy to get this far. That's the worst part.
No team had come back from three different four goal leads to win a Finals game in history. It figures the Rangers would be the ones to allow it to happen.
I thought the 3rd goal was a bad call and totally changed the complexion of the game but they had ample chances to win the game and nobody got it done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's also the Kings Messiah. There's a reason they came back 0-3 from SJ. There's a reason they won 3 G7s on road. There's a reason they won in Chicago down 2-0 early. It's what they do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I agree theyve held their own and played well in both games and sadly have nothing to show, so i guess they have a glass half full. I just think our centers dont give them enough, which most people would agree with. Its not like Kopitar is hurting them all that much either.
My issue with blaming the call is NOT that I don't think it was interference, it was, but it never should have come down to that...CLEAR THE PUCK. CLEAR THE PUCK on the Gabby goal also. And on that last goal. And on the 1st goal in game 1. And the OT winner in game 1. On and on. So while yes it was a missed call, I just cannot blame that call when we simply make sloppy mistakes in our own zone over and over AND we had four 2 goal leads in two games. And 3 two goal leads tonight. You should NOT lose 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 leads in the SCF. We were perfect with a lead into the 3rd. We have no excuses. We gave it away combined with the Kings never giving up.
I'm just not going to rip a roster that has gone toe to toe pretty much with one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the NHL. Yes we can use an upgrade at C from Richards. And yes we can use another big dman, but we are a good deep team. Our 3rd and 4th lines are very good. Maybe better than 99% of the teams in the NHL. We have a very good deep team. That's just reality.
