phillyb Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Such a good first period only to be washed away by getting absolutely fucking dominated for most of the rest of the game. Gross feeling cause that first period was great. Kudos to FLA who's just stuck to their game plan and giving us their all. As most have mentioned, the Rangers haven't played their best hockey and coming home tied at 2-2 is a good place to be. Idk if I'm playing Wheeler again - I know he's not the issue, and yeah, way to be a stand-up guy, but he's slow. Silly slow. And I'm about to open the bromance thread and see what y’all say in there. Cause Mika and CK20 gotta be broken up or taken out back and whipped into shape. This is getting ridiculous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 43 minutes ago, Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc said: Depends on how you look at it I suppose, but I would've liked to see more accountability from our star player who just cost us the game. If he played a great game and had one bad mistake then fine, but he was horrible the entire game, he's not been good enough since game 2 against Canes and now a rookie mistake to cost us a really important game. I would like more than "I made a decision, maybe I should've made another decision. That's how it is. Next time I'll try to make another decision". Of course all is forgotten if he comes out a man possessed next game, but I won't be holding my breath. I think that's asking for a lot, and I think a lot of it is based on frustration which I completely get. But if you think he's going to make amends for being pretty bad this series in one apology 5 minutes after he cost them the game, again I just think that's asking for a lot... I think saying he should have made a different decision is accountability, it's not like he was blaming anybody else, I just don't think he's going to do his introspection for the media. It's pretty obvious that losing wears on him. But yeah, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, I just see it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost me with how loose his accountability was saying things like "maybe" and "i'll try". You are a star player for the New York Rangers, you've been here long enough to know what the fans want to hear. "I thought i had a look there and I was wrong, there was a better play to be had down low and I just missed it. We win and lose as a team but I feel closely responsible for how that game ended. I'll do whatever I have to do to bring my game in 2 days. Extra laps, bag skate, whatever it takes i'll do it. Because that's what these fans and this city deserves" That's the correct response. not "well ya know.. i made a decision, maybe i shouldn't have made it, ill try and be better, guess ya gotta tune in to find out, see ya Thursday" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's fair to say there was no accountability just because the comment didn't mean certain people's accountability thresholds. I think it was pretty clear he knew he fucked up.

He needs to make ME happy . I guess i prefer a little more fire out of players but hockey players aren't known for that during interviews and media. It's one of the great things about football though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best team doesn’t always win, hence why it’s 2-2. Yeah, I bet Goliath had a shitload more puck possession time than David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highwaystar Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 8 hours ago, siddious said: This is just plain wrong. the rangers have been one of the more physical teams in the nhl all season long. If anything I think we’re holding up perfectly fine in that aspect. Florida is a fucking great team. I took a future on them to win the cup back in September. It’s ok to admit they’re a great team without diminishing everything the rangers are too. the series is tied 2-2. We’re not down 3-0. It’s the playoffs. Sometimes you get ugly wins. Sometimes you lose. It’s a long series. That’s what this team has been doing. tied 2-2 in the ECF with home ice advantage and somehow this team is done? We are being held captive in our own end. Florida is controlling every aspect of our ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the players don't believe that crap. Yes, we've been playing our worst hockey for 2 weeks. But, we're in this thing, and in it for the long haul.

Ozzy Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Sorry fellas, I was away in Nashville watching this one...basically with no one to commiserate with. I had my head down on the bar after the penalty in OT, and knew it was coming. I wasn't wrong either... and here are the Top 13 nominees for tonight's “Ozzy Quote of the GDT”, sponsored by Kid Rock's Honky Tonk Bar; probably the most unlucky place to watch a Rangers game!

Sharpshooter Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 These are always fun, Ozzy. Thanks for another year of putting the work in. I thought I should've at least won once or twice. Now, you can take your summer vacation, although I'm sure you miss reading through the shenanigans that are our game day threads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
