    Saunter? Hell I was at the game last night and it's like we never even had our own zone. Always seemed like we over committed all night. And Tampa seems to cherry pick last night they were always ahead 1 of them with a cross the ice pass

    rangers are cupcake soft right now. one win and the whole complexion changes again but there's not alot to look at that
    leaves much confidence at all right now. rick nash and st. louis are toast. thats not gonna change either unfortunately.

    Incredible how they have dissapeared from the goal scoring column...Last thing I want to see is a dejected Lundqvist. Hope he finds his comfort today and before gametime. This team should elevate themselves for him. He deserves that and he needs to find his mojo, he cant act like that mentally fragile.

    last year he got rattled against the penguins too when they lost both at home and were down 3-1, he got it back together after that.
    im worried about the rangers not having 4 lines to roll. they dont have 2 at this time. yikers theyve looked pretty bad out there. the blueline mistakes are killing them

    Not trying to go off topic, but how bad would that Trotz strategy have been against the Lightning? TB would easily have a 3-0 series lead right now, winning each game 4-1 probably.

    But you guys have a winning record against them by playing the way you did against the Rangers. Physical with forecheck

    We play better defense in front of Talbot, which is what we need now, it's a team game, if this makes us better for the next game, which is the most important game of the season I would do it, Hank can play game 5 and with his competitive spirit he will play great...it would take big balls on AV's part and he won't do it, just like he won't bench St.Louis who is killing us

    All of you calling for Hank to be benched in Game 4, barring an unconfirmed injury of course.

    Do us all a favor: please stop rooting for this team.

    Yeah, I just feel they are too fast. Maybe the Rangers playing poorly made them look that way. I don't know. Really interested to see how Game 4 goes. No way TB keeps this scoring up.

    well fuck you too. But seriously, Talbot has earned a start here. Hank just doesn't have it against this team, gotta do something, Lundqvist literally cost us last night's game and he's going to do it again

    It's not just this series, same thing happened in the regular season. Hank gave up 5, 4, and 6 goals in the 3 game sweep by Tampa

    You want to give up on a Vezina trophy winning goaltender who leads an original six franchise in playoff wins and playoff games played to give Cam Talbot his first start down one game in the Eastern Conference finals?

    You might as well say "Fuck You" to every Rangers fan, not just me.

    How in God's green earth can you CONSDER comparing Henrik Lundqvist's post-season to Martin St. Louis'? Are you certifiably insane?

    I was talking in terms of having an advantage of 5-3. I would assume being short handed by 2 men would leave you under a percent chance of scoring though

    As soon as you do, Brassard hater...nobody loves Hank more than GG and I but the team plays better in front of Talbot, I only want it for Game 4, Hank looks like a beaten man

    Yes, because Derek Brassard has had the same impact on this Franchise that Henrik Lundqvist has. Get a clue.
