Rangers-Pens game 3 Time to take the series by the throat

Skjei has barely played at this level but he's clearly a better player than Girardi or Boyle already. Glass sucks and always had. However, that wasn't the one of the main reasons we lost. Our dumb fuck coach is. Putting Stepan out again for a late draw and playing reject Boyle over McIlrath. Boyle was atrocious on defense last night.

 

Faceoffs are not the just the centermen, wingers are being outplayed as well

 

Not to mention neither goal was hanks fault..stupid deflection (fuck u crosby u were in the crease) and a beeakaway off a turnover..yeah hank got outplayed...typical

 

Cant we worry about the top 9 players and not the bottom 3

 

Hank was great last night stopping one great scoring chance after another. The defense as usual couldn't get the puck out of their end. The unit of Yandle-boyle doesn't work. Whoever said they need a booming shot from the point is right. The problem is our best one our coach has no confidence in cause he's a rookie and doesn't skate like the wind. If AV wants to win this series he needs to swallow hard and get dylan back in there for boyle and reunite him with Yandle which was the only game we won by the way and give us another solid defensive pair and use him at the point on the PP. To me Mcd showed he was rushed back and that he's still hurt and was a shadow of himself on D and couldn't do the things he normally does. Since there is no fighting in this series there is absolutely no reason for glass to be playing over a much better offensive threat in lindberg, AV is stubborn as shit and continues to do the same things personnel wise that have stopped working for awhile now regardless. If the team wins at this point it will be despite our coach who has not put them in the best position to win. The late face-off was typical but I think Al's point about the forwards there is spot on also. Also why aren't we in the last period down a goal double shifting nash and kreids and going 3 lines to force the action. The 4th line has been as useful as wet toilet paper. As for Kreids I thought he played well yesterday and was in the front plenty last night but what does it matter when all the shots go wide by our shooters. I am sick already of stepan with no shot out on the point taking up space. I hope we win thursday but if we don't I see us going out in 5 and Gorton with his many moves over the summer needs to include this coaching staff amongst them.

 

Missed the game due to work event but we scored 1 freaking goal and had a ridiculous 17 shots on goal. That is horrible vs a 21 year old goalie making his first career start. Start and end the discussions there. I don't want to hear about any defensive deficiencies. You cant win every game 1-0.

Also the past 3 playoff games at MSG we have 1 goal. Enough already. Score some freaking goals

 

That's it Dis. The rest of this stuff is just a nonsense distraction. 17 shots, 4 in the 3rd period as we trailed for over 15 minutes of the period, and 1 total TOTAL in our last 3 home playoffs games combined...that's where the focus should be.

Score some f'ing goals in game 4 and make this kid goalie prove he is up to it. Not sure we had any rebound chances all game. Sad. We either score some goals tomorrow night or we are done. Not complicated.
