NomarFachix Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Anderson was terrific, but you need to put one in the net. This team looks nothing like they did throughout the entire regular season. Tortorella is [expletive]ing with the lines again, he's only playing three lines regularly, and the entire team looks scared to lose. They played in your face hockey all season, and were always attacking.. and now they're trying to play some prevent bullshit. It's horrible. Where is the club I watched for 82 games?? Also, Gaborik looks completely inept out there without Hagelin. Bummer. Get your heads out of your asses!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team lacks speed and Hagelin would definitely be changing that right now. Anderson was good but a lot of the saves were pretty basic. Rangers were taking shots that even I could save. They never had anyone cutting or getting to the net, which was really surprising to me how far out a lot of the shots were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team lacks speed and Hagelin would definitely be changing that right now.A concern, but not at this level.. and not for this reason. Speed? Kreider is sitting the bench, getting a handful of minutes each game. Torts is too stubborn to play him. Anderson was good but a lot of the saves were pretty basic. Rangers were taking shots that even I could save. They never had anyone cutting or getting to the net, which was really surprising to me how far out a lot of the shots werePrecisely, because they're too [expletive]ing worried about a counterattack to send people to the net. They're playing like straight pussies. That said, Anderson was fantastic. 41 saves, some of them were huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Anderson was fantastic. 41 saves, some of them were huge.Yeah, Kreider is really talented, he's made some great passes and even had a few chances to put one in the back of the net. I expect him to break through soon enough And yeah the Rangers are playing way too conservative. But did you see how many 2 on 1's, 3 on 2's they gave up when they started attacking more in the late 2nd and 3rd period? A lot more. Rangers are such a good defensive team because of the system they play, and when they try to get out and be more aggressive, they give up a ton of rushes to this Ottawa team especially who has a lot of skill Another thing is the Rangers kept trying to bring the puck across the blue line, and would just completely get it taken away...it was getting so frustrating. dump it in and have a few guys go in an attack!

Check my Stats Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 dump it in and have a few guys go in an attack! Seriously. Especially with this Ottawa teams, guys like Karlsson, Gonchar, they don't want to get hit. Pressure them, force them to make mistakes.

Built Ford Tough Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 When both sides are furious with the officiating, pretty strong chance it's a Tim Peel game. Yup. I didn't watch more than 10 minutes of the game, but that goalie interference penalty on Foligno to give the Rangers a 4-3 and then 5-3 was absolutely brutal. It seemed to really give the Rangers a boost as well, although I don't claim to know for sure since, like I said, I only saw about 5 minutes before that and 5 minutes after.

DunkinDerozan Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I watched most of the game, and i will admit that was a bad call. But the bad calls were going both ways, so i'd say Ottawa can't complain too much about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came right after a missed cross-check from Karlsson on Prust and a ticky tack interference call on Kreider. Was a makeup call for certain. Officiating has been awful.

His hit on Boyle was ridiculous that took him out of the series. Haglin suspended 3 gms, Neil none? And the last goal (although ended up irrelevant) was surprising they didn't reverse it. although, it's hard to tell if he actually kicked it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 The Senators got the shaft on most of the calls and non-calls. I love how Rangers fans act like Neil not getting suspended for his LEGAL hit on Boyle somehow evens out Hegelin getting suspended for an illegal hit. Strong logic. The Kreider interference I didn't like too much, but he did go through the crease. The Foligno interference was brutal. Prust should have gotten two minutes for his late hit on Karlsson. Richards should have gotten two minutes for his Paul Bunyan chop. The Neil goal was too inconclusive to overview. However, I don't think the penalties that put Ottawa on the PK for the 5 on 3 were what killed them. Yes, it didn't help that they were down two men, but the Senators were killing it well, and then just blew it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he hit him way too high near his head. The Kreider call was pretty clearly interference... The Foligno interference was probably a bad call. Some say the he gave an extra shove to Lundqvist, Idk, I think they shouldn't have called it. Prust hit was another very debatable one. Sens have been hitting late just as much as NYR Richards was standing there away from the play and the guy comes up and nails him. His chop should not have been a penalty. Lmao And the Neil goal I agree was probably too inconclusive to overturn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Neil's hit on Boyle was clean and he did basically everything that Torres didn't do. It wasn't late.The head wasn't targeted or the principal point of contact.He didn't leave his feet. Torres did all of those things, and those are exactly what Shanny singled out as to why the hit was illegal. Sucks that Boyle got hurt, but no rules were broken on this hit. On another note, Mike Smith put on one of the best goaltending performances I've seen in a while last night. He was absolutely phenomenal. Chicago completely dominated that game but Smith was just too good. If he continues to play like he has in the first round, it is going to be so much fun seeing him and Rinne play against each other in the 2nd round.
