I'm talking about the pass with 20 seconds left after we had possession of the puck and could have walked it out of the zone and probably had a pretty easy EN. Instead lazy fucking pass treating the puck like a fucking grenade. Pathetic.
Why is yandle one of just two LD on our roster ... Manning RD on the power play? Awful awful play but partly caused by having to go backhand on a simple redirect up the boards
Nice win, a bad play by Yandle who otherwise has been excellent. Shouldn't overshadow what was a really solid effort against a good team and great goalie.
how in the hell can the league rule the way they did? Are they saying Simmonds was justified somehow and it's ok to sucker punch a player in the jaw potentially fucking his career up?! This is a head injury incurred not in the context of play rather it was an unmitigated punk fucking move by a guy who is known for playing on the edge. It's a fucking injustice beyond belief!

Stufftherun - I share your frustration but the Rangers host the Flyers on Sunday. Let's see what kind of team the Rangers have.

Drew - Regardless of who's on the ice for the blueshirts you can be rest assured the league will put the on ice officials on high alert and they'll do everything they can to keep things from getting out of control. I'd love to see The Rath put Simmonds in the hospital but that doesn't help McD recover from a concussion and it doesn't answer the question as to why the league took no action.
It's amazing how good Lundqvist is and how rarely he shuts teams out.
I feel like there have been 10-15 games this year where the only goals against were on special teams.
I feel like the late goal to breakup a shut out has been a staple of his career. I wonder whether other great goalies are the same, because of the late onslaught from teams that are trailing.
to get their act together. Zuc, Miller and Brassard have been pulling the sled. Somebody else needs to step-up. Maybe Nash will get some fire before he crashes and burns in the playoffs...
I really get no joy out of piling on the guy because he's had a very good career for them, particularly for an undrafted guy, but he's just completely cratered since the 2014 playoffs.
Those type of plays kill me. It's a total confidence and even coaching thing. He didn't do that with this frequency in prior years. It's just stupid hockey - not a physical limitation.
about how he plays hurt (never mind that no one but AV wanted him trying to play hurt with more talented players in the press box)
(note: at this moment with McD out and lack of cap space its a good thing though)
And in fairness to that GIF above, most of our guys treat the puck like a fucking grenade this year. Stepan committed an act just as pitiful last night to close out the game. Glass does it 5x per game. Staal has done it all year. Confidence or are these guys just not as hard working as they used to be?
SURELY there must be other people who are playing poorly, and the struggles cant be all Girardi's fault. Therefore, by implication, not worth talking about.

Deej where you bro? You didn't want to throw marek Malik in there?
I know what I know. Pre-1990s Rangers history I dont know.
Yandle does make some risky passes and in that spot there was absolutely no need for it.
It was everyone's hero Yandle.
I absolutely hate it. It's not right. He's been good for them too

Haha that's wonderful
Played well last night though. And there's no reason why he can't continue to play well..with limited minutes on the third pairing.

Regardless - blame a young kid for it.
