NFT: New York Rangers vs. New York Islanders, 7:00 pm

arcarsenal : 10/19/2017 11:09 am
I don't think I've started a hockey thread in like 2 years.

But, desperate times call for desperate measures.

NYR have struggled mightily against the Styx lately. Pretty sure we lost every game against them last year sans the opener. It's time to flip the fuckin' script.

Sounds like Hank will be back in net and Mac should be good to go. Kampfer, Holden, Carey, Pavelec looking like the scratches.

We need 2 fucking points.

So no rangers pre game  
B in ALB : 10/19/2017 6:58 pm : link
Or Rangers coverage.

Instead, we get some show about the Bills draft and high School football. Pretty awesome stuff.

So we're treated to the mouthbreathing Islanders announcers Goring and the other idiot, despite the game being at MSG. Makes total sense.

What a fuckin joke.

Burke is actually a pretty good play by play guy but carry on
Hahaha.

The King doing King things. Nice control of the rebound there.

Gotta get those pads fluffed a bit maybe.

Or just not suck.

Yeah he's amazing. I'd totally rather hear him than Sammy.

Carry on.
Well the first goal against doesn't come until 2:40 in

LOL, the Rangers are literally unwatchable. Hank looks absolutely forked.
I was told lundqvist would be better

With a revamped defense.

Guess not. We're fucked - he looks cooked to me.

He should go back to the old one
There was a day when  
Stufftherun : 10/19/2017 7:49 pm : link
Hank would give up an early goal, maybe two, but he was lights out from that point on.
Hank might get yanked tonight  
B in ALB : 10/19/2017 7:51 pm : link
The way he looks.

But I'm sure it's someone else's fault.

This team sucks.

I really hate being so negative about the rangers and Knicks. It sucks. But what else can you do at this point?

Heartbreaking.
Buchnevich played 2:30

Can we please just fire this coach already?

But he's still bailing out this team quite often. How have so many of these guys regressed so much from last season?

Sad thing is I think we are playing better than last year. But we went from luckiest team in league in S% and all the other metrics to close to umluckiest ... and both our goalies have been horrendous whereas we benefited last 4 years from tremendous back up play when hank struggled
There was no way  
Stufftherun : 10/19/2017 9:27 pm : link
we were getting the benefit of the doubt there. Sure,no distinct kick but it's so much easier for them to call it a no goal rather than the other way around.

It was a joke about politics being an even more depressing option.

Stick to burying the Yankees in the 3rd inning.
The hockey..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/19/2017 9:30 pm : link
Gods return the goal - but it should be 4-3. Bullshit reversal.
Halak with a bank special

I hate that I'm just fucking assuming a loss here. It's a tie game but it's like I just know the eventual kick to the fucking balls is right around the corner.

arcarsenal : 10/19/2017 9:41 pm : link
If they scored there with like 1 second left I honestly don't think I would have watched another hockey game this year.

Jesus.
Not the night to complain about Hank  
Kyle in NY : 10/19/2017 9:42 pm : link
Saved the game there. Holy crap Shattenkirk that was brutal
Mark Staal  
B in ALB : 10/19/2017 9:42 pm : link
Is awesome. Just unbelievable. Maybe the best defenseman in the league. So smooth. So reliable. Love that guy.
Would have been  
MetsAreBack : 10/19/2017 9:42 pm : link
But Hank bailed out Staal

The fact that staal was that bad ... and that AV trusted him out there... in the offensive zone ... after last years playoff meltdowns -- is why staal and AV both need to be gone NOW

Eh don't know if I buy that. But they definitely haven't had the luck they had last season

Absolutely unbelievable.

About 5 point blank chances to end this game and we can't do it.

Now we take a penalty and will inevitably fucking lose.

Most predictable outcome ever.

One of these days I'll see a team I root for win a fucking game that matters.

I was like, who the fuck? When he was haphazardly skating down the ice with his weak shit.

What a clownshow.
Apparently he has good shootout numbers  
Kyle in NY : 10/19/2017 10:21 pm : link
So I stand corrected there. And it's not the coach's fault that Hank has lost a step, or McDonagh is inexplicably playing worse without Girardi, or Nash just cannot fool goalies anymore, or we have one good top 9 center, etc etc.

But he deserved to go after that playoff loss to an average Ottawa team. And now the team continues to start games poorly, the team defense is a mess, and the player deployment remains awful.

Can't get rid of all the players, can't keep the status quo. A shake up is needed. Thanks for those first two seasons. Time to go.
I read McDonaugh has a plus 32 corsi  
MetsAreBack : 10/19/2017 10:58 pm : link
And that's with playing with staal kampfen and Holden this year

Seriously - can someone explain to me why Staal is on the ice for an offensive zone faceoff after their icing, 21 seconds left. Full team at AVs disposal - but hey let's put the guy on the ice for every playoff meltdown with zero offensive skill out there in that spot.

It's like AV is fucking with Gorton and with rangers fans. Maybe he wants to be canned. You never know.

MetsAreBack : 10/20/2017 9:17 am : link
Nash had 4 one-on-one chances below the hash marks on Halak last night. Didn't convert any.

Shaking head.
