Knew we were going to lose when it went to a shoot out. Marty is just not very good at them. He played well though, if you forget about the first 8 minutes of the second period.
For some reason I feel more confident in the Rangers when they're down by two than up. They let off the gas too easy. Just go for the throat and squeeze.
Brad Richards and Derek Stepan, centermen #1 and #2 have been atrocious this season... and when your top 2 centermen are playing crap hockey... you do the math.
The Good: Hags. Jesus christ.
The Bad: Powerplay looked better than usual, but still ultimately weak and a momentum killer. awful.
The Redden: Richards
JT Miller's ice time in the third? i would ask for OT but we all know it was 0. i dont understand how people expect rookies to prove themselves when they barely get to play late in the game. even richards got shifts in OT and well...we know how richards is doing.
still blame the fight 100%. gaborik may have scored after it, but i don't think they touched a puck before it and after it they were all over the place. (FYI I AM EXAGGERATING I KNOW THEY TOUCHED A PUCK(since i'm sure somebody will quote that as a literal statement))
also... you don't ****ing boo your backup. biron gets the job done 90% of the time. so classless. the guy deserves respect. he has a poor five-hole, but he's a great backup and plays a style that hank doesn't. he played a hell of a game against tampa and only let in three in a game that could've gone much worse. absolutely deplorable.

Agree on Richards, but Stepan? He looked good tonight, actually I thought it was one of his better games.
calm down marty played a great game...he just kinda sucks at the shootout
Has Biron ever made a save in the shootout for the Rangers? I knew the Rangers were doomed when they couldn't end it in OT. Fall asleep for 10 minutes in the 2nd period, and this is the fate you deserve.
