ThirtyONE Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Has anyone brought up Barry Melrose yet and how terrible he looks? He's got concerning sun spots, missing his bottom teeth, and just sits there with no personality. Who's call was it to have him back in the studio? I know ESPN wants him to be the American Don Cherry, but he's scaring the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I didn't notice he was missing some teeth, but I really didn't watch the ESPN studio stuff that much. He does look really bad, though. I'm not a huge fan of him, but I hope he'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The 2nd line really didn’t look that great on ice, at least from my vantage point. Yet they still combined for 20 points across 7 games: Panarin - 7 points Copp - 7 points, point in every game except Game 4 Strome - 6 points, point in every game except Game 4 And pretty much consistently put up points in every game. Lundqvist would have killed for that level of consistent offensive production in the playoffs during his career, regardless of how it looked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya gotta feel for the guy.....The team we have today is more talented from top to bottom than any team they iced in front of him. Also, we don't know what the convo consisted of behind closed doors before he went to Washington. Maybe he wanted to stay; who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the fact that he was bought out proves he ne er wanted to go anywhere. He just wanted to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks for him, but, for us as fans I hope he is going to be the next Don Mattingly. Retiring right before the team went off and won a bunch of championships.

jsm7302 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 We all believed and hoped BUT we all thought this was over when they went down 3-1. We got A LOT of puck luck in the last 3 games. Chiclets aren't fans of NY fans in general; they are out of Boston. I like those guys and laugh at their disdain for our Fandom. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The Bis said on Twitter had to beat the Penguins with "scumbag hockey" which was "par for the course".

Yes, it is. The Penguins had three chances, and leads in the last three games, to close out the Rangers. They overcome all of that, despite not even playing that great most of the time. Shesterkin wasn't that great overall, you look at his stats for the series and they don't look good. However in games five, six, and seven, he didn't allow a goal in the third period of any of those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something he wasn’t doing in game 3 and 4. It’s the only way the rangers can win unfortunately. That’s just how they’re built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers did get some puck luck no doubt, but the Pittsburgh also went, what, 5-0 on reviews and challenges? Bis losing a lot of credibility on numerous points. The Lindgren crosscheck on ERod thing is a legitimate non-call gripe, but shit happens. I could find a dozen or more non-calls against the Penguins. He’s wrong to make the follow up ERod penalty about retaliation. It wasn’t. It was a roughing call because his hands got high, at least that is what the ref thought in real time. Move on. The Lafreniere thing is way overblown too. It was a tussle that both players were engaged in. Lafreniere finished the tussle. To steal a Bis-phrase describing ERod on Lindgren, looks like Lafreniere just outmuscled Petterson. You’re not getting that call in the playoffs, and if the scenario was reversed the Pens aren’t getting called for a penalty either. Take that to the bank. But I can see why Penguin homers are used to getting every single call imaginable. Oops. C’est la vie. Where Bis really loses credibility is exactly what you’ve quoted. The Rangers always play “scumbag hockey”? That’s the first time I’ve heard the Rangers called a dirty team. Hilarious. I will wear that like a badge of honor. Apparently we’ve come a long way from the pussy hockey and shying away from confrontation than we have the past 15+ years. The funny part is that charge is coming from a Pens homer who has watched Crosby, Malkin, Letang cheapshot opponents for the past 15 years…slewfoots in particular. Mmmmm, the tears, they taste sooooo good. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
