but keep in mind McD has faced 3 of the 4 best players in the world in all 3 rounds. And he has a Goal tonight. If you don't hear his name or notice him ... that means he played great.
Nash - the opposite.
This has the feel of that crazy February Islanders game by the way... except final score. Who knows. I honestly feel like this OT is our season.
McDonagh's been very noticeable in a bad way. He has been a much worse hockey player than Nash.
While Henrik wasn't as good as he usually is, the Lightning have seemingly found breakaways and wide open looks that the Rangers have not over the last two games.
Hard to shit on Henrik when he's been so lights out for us and gotten us this far.
your stars have to be stars... their's have elevated their game, ours have sucked. Hard to weep for Hank's Cup when he plays like this. 5+ allowed to Tampa now in 4 of 6 games. It's pathetic. It'd be pathetic for Halak or anyone average.
Jesper Fast and some others kept us in the game tonight, but Hank, Nash, McD and others just aren't getting it done.
I'm sorry you have to drive 4 hours after watching this tonight Mook.

He's supposed to be the best player on our team. Don't care what he's done to get us here, 12 goals in 2 games is pathetic. We should not lose a game that we score 5 goals in.
Tampa was not playing anywhere near this in the first two series.
They had 13 goals in the first 5 games of last series. 13 in 3 games here.
If we score 5 goals we should win. Very disappointing, really don't know he we stop this, they have torched is this year 4 times for 5 goals or more. It is not a fluke. We are in serious jeopardy.
Hank is a guy that transcends the Rangers jersey. I rare breed. I'll always have his back - but you cant play like he's played the last 2 games and expect to win a Cup or be called a Champion.
As Britt said maybe a week ago, Champions earn that title and Hank fairly or unfairly has yet to earn it. He hasn't stepped up one bit in this series or against this particular team all season.
Simply not good enough.
Nash - the opposite.

He is playing terribly. If it continues, our season is over on sunday night
Absolutely pathetic by Hank. He really shit the bed.
Horrific.
This game was a comprehensive failure. It wouldn't be fair to McD among others if we pinned it on Hank.
He got 5 goals tonight. I don't care who you wanna single out for most of them. That is terrible by him, and the winner was worst of all.
And does that include the terrible giveaway that led to Brassard's penalty?

Pathetic game from him. Worst he has had in a long time
Do you ever make any fucking sense?
Please don't post again.

10 in the first 5 against detroit.

but which of the defensemen played well? Not a damn one.
Yandle did.
Well, forgive me then... 1 out of 6 defensemen didn't completely shit his pants tonights.
But its really tough to watch the way he's failed this series when the team needs him so badly. tonight is frankly solely on him.
They need to pull MSL from the lineup. That's obvious. But a separate issue.
But they need to get Hank right somehow because he's Tampa's absolute fucking bitch right now. 5+ in 4 of 6 games to them.
Right? The 3rd period opened with Staal and Girardi and all seemed good and...lo and behold, we're back to the sieve pairing of McDonagh and Girardi.
