What bothers me the most is that there's just never progress with this organization. Can't win anything that doesn't take seven games. You know what it's going to backfire at some point.
Fortunately, it is a whole new game. If they can't finish what they started at home, then I see some big changes coming. To be honest, if not for some really stupid play on the defensive side, this series would be over. It's like they knock the Flyer's down, and then help them up ... Crazy
Yeah, that Pouliot penalty was really huge. We will look back after the whipping and say whatever, but we were getting chances and playing well, and then that penalty allowed them to relax and get a lead. From there is was done. We all said getting a lead would be huge and make them nervous. That enabled them to get the lead. What can you do. We really came up small tonight. Not sure we had the right attitude going into this game.
Don't worry, we have Rick Nash..with him all things are possi---- what am I saying, when the game is important he plays small.
This team is so damned frustrating. No killer instinct. Dumb penalties. Horrible power play. Offensive "stars" are no shows. Fanning on their best scoring chances. Hank has been mediocre. Such a roller coaster ride cheering for this team. I can understand why people don't even care if they win or lose tomorrow at this point. The way this team is consistently inconsistent is painful and the chances of actually winning the Cup this year are virtually none. Might as well end the suffering now.
Obviously I want the Rangers to win the series. That being said I understand what you're saying. You want to see a legit sc contender without having to fool yourself.
and some ask me why av is a more on, u tellin me dorsett isn't more of a liablility then carcillo, this team all year was better with carcillo, carcillo helped the black hawks to cup, i guess av doesn't take that into account.. its all about offense with av, yet we can't score goals.... he plays him tomorrow nite, we win, then scratches him again the media better call him out!
Thank god, next game is tomorrow so this suffering can end finally. 1. Buy out Richards 2. Trade Nash 3. Replace Stralman 4. Dont bring back Pouliot.
Nash is just too invisible too often. He goes on a hot streak and then there's nothing from him for a long stretch. I'll say it again. You cannot have a top forward not scoring goals in the playoffs. There's no winning that way.
Everything except #1, lets not go crazy. Stralman has been fine most of the time but if he prices himself out then let him go.
