RichieNextel305 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 5 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: Hell, the first meeting of the season they almost blew a 6-3 lead to this team in a ten minute or less span. lol The third period did not surprise me. But yeah, they are either air tight defensively, or give up two or three goals in a short span. The scary thing is that the 2nd intermission interview, I believe it was Fox, referenced that. So you know the team was aware of the push the Sharks gave us at MSG when we were firing on all cylinders. So they knew that they had the capability to make a push. FWIW, and I know this Sharks team is trash as is, but I was impressed by their effort against us at MSG. That was a very easy game for them to lay down and die but they kept coming. And it was known in the locker room and still, it was met with surprise and little to no resistance. That’s just unacceptable because even at our worst, we should be able to lock up a 2-goal 3rd period lead against that team. Especially when they’re on the back end of a back-to-back. Not good.

At the time the Sharks were starting to play better, and despite losing, went on a pretty good run after that. So, the Rangers were playing them when they were starting to get some momentum and a little confidence. It's pretty concerning that they all referenced that, yet still completely laid an egg in the third period. San Jose is a fast team, but the Rangers looked like they were skating in slow motion the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, not to make any type of excuses, but this west coast trip is never easy for any east coast team. And by the end of it, the sloppier hockey usually comes to a head. I get that. But given the way they played in the 1st 3 games of the trip and given the fact that the opportunity to go home with 4 of 8 points was right there for the taking, the fact that they couldn’t nut-up for 20 minutes and play 20 strong smart minutes does concern me a little bit. In a season where we’ve had our fair share of lousy losses to lesser teams, this to me was their worst loss. Even though we gained a point, just feels like a bigger gut punch than any other loss.

They got a point, but it was such a bad loss, it feels like they didn't get anything. Now they go home and play Vegas who blew their doors off the other day. We'll see how they respond. If they don't nut up after blowing this game, then maybe we can start reaching peak worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think I’m just most mad at the fact that we got help that we needed from Philly losing some games, and if we took care of business last night and either the Vegas or LA game, you’re talking about an 8 point cushion (with a game in hand) instead of 5.

We're being to selective." It's the same thing every NYR head coach has said the last 3-4 years. Wonder what else has been true of the team for the last 3–4 years. Couldn't be the most important/highest paid players? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I was trying to think of something creative and witty for the GDT last night, and then we go and play a 3rd period that really blew a wet, drippy, dead dog's dick. Needless to say I was less than thrilled with Gus' fabulous clearing pass behind the net. Not to mention our inability to score more than 2 fucking goals against a team that probably couldn't even give a Women's league team much of a game. If you stayed up for this one, I apoligize, and @Pete, don't bother watching the replay...TRUST ME! ....and here are the Top 6 nominees for last night's “Ozzy Quote of the GDT”, sponsored by No Doz. 12 hours ago, siddious said: Not staying up so let me Get these out of the way… ”Jesus shesterkin could you make an effing save” ”let’s go fellas a few more passes from east to west should do the trick” ”nice shot zib.. hit the net.

Anyway, the winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to @Cr00zng, the Cr00zer, who pretty much nailed it. I'm fucking wiped out today because of these jerkoffs, and I actually feel a little embarrassed to be a Ranger fan today.

Br4d Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 5 hours ago, jsm7302 said: 22 saves, 3 goals against. Why are we riding this guy between the pipes? I don't know why everyone is against trading major lineup pieces of this team. CK20 and Fox show little to no emotion post goal against, post loss and yet their talent level is worth keeping around although everyone will jump and complain about the lack of battle level? Sorry boys but it's time and I'm looking to shake up this locker room by moving one of those two pieces. I'm a Ranger fan through and through and there is no player, that I find untouchable for the right move. It isn't like those two are going to fetch you scrubs. This roster needs a defib to shock some life back into them and that wont come in the way of a third line plug. We're in a root for the laundry situation. Individual players are for Fantasy Hockey.

delneggs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 5 hours ago, jsm7302 said: I get what you're saying but yea, I think Shesterkin should have had the first one if he were in position hugging that post watching the play. The second one was a long range shot deflection which he could have had but didn't. That's what makes goalies elite though; making the unlikely save with the game on the line. He was hung out to dry in OT but if he were better positioned on either of the first two, #3 doesn't happen. 23 saves isn't a tall ask of a goalie honestly. If your team limits them to under 25 shots, you should damn well be able to keep the goals against under 3. Not trying to defend Igor because he has been hot and cold this year, but that first goal was a brain fart by Gus with an amateurish turn over behind our net that was in our net before Igor could even react. That was in no way on him. And the 2nd goal was a good tip out front that no goalie on planet earth could have reacted to in time to stop it. Igor was very good last night and not the problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, my man. No fault on any of those. Gus' brain fart was ridiculous, and the deflection was superb. The OT goal, he almost got over and saved, but we never cut that pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the goalie not own situational awareness? Defensive flub no doubt, I agree, but I don't think it needed to be a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No goalie can anticipate their D having a massive brain fart like that and turning the puck over behind the net right to a forward that just has to flick his wrist and its in the net. That goal (and the loss to a big part) is on Gus for one of the worst turnovers I have seen in a while. Laffy has to own some of the loss too with his millionth missed wide open net this year. I like the kid, but he misses open nets way too much. Edited January 24 by delneggs spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lazy getting back to the front of the net, and he was looking over his left shoulder when the puck was clearly moved to his right side. He had no chance on the shot, but it was because his attention to detail was lacking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor was turning because his D had the puck and he was assuming that Gus was making a pass to a Ranger, which anyone would assume. 100% on Gus.

I don't know why that would be of the assumption considering they use a reverse play pretty often coming around their own net. That might be something you would assume, but that doesn't mean it should have been something Igor should. That said, he was lazy getting back to the crease. There's no excuse for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
