[Cobiemonster]

Should be one really good game

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers get a PP 1 minute into the game and that is quickly erased by Kreider who high-sticked Chara.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers are headed to the PP.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Down 1-0 halfway through the first, here we go again. We will make Rask look like Roy again.

 

[stealth]

This is what makes Hank look like a choke....tough teams he gives up the first goal, now he just set the tone of play for the guys up front because he cant stop shots with a small shot count. The front five will be timid because Hank cant do whats expected of him so the front five will be more defensive minded......HANK NEEDS TO BE THE BACKUP!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

And Rangers lead 2-1 after 1

 

[stealth]

Hank...8 shots 1 goal

 

[David_son]

Rangers get a PP 1 minute into the game and that is quickly erased by Kreider who high-sticked Chara.

How do you high stick Chara... You would almost have to be doing it on purpose.

 

[David_son]

Hank...8 shots 1 goal

Oh god give it up. Just watch the game you never know they could win.

 

[stealth]

Thats just it...8 shots should be zero goals the game isnt over more mystery to come

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Oh god give it up. Just watch the game you never know they could win.

And Rask, 2 goals on 11 shots, while Hank has now stopped 12/13. He wont give it up. Don't bother.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Third period about to be underway.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

And the Bruins tie it at 2

 

[stealth]

game over.....thanks Hank. Time for you to be backup

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

game over.....thanks Hank. Time for you to be backup

It's almost like you root for us to lose, dude....

Lets see how Cam fares tomorrow at MSG against Vancouver.

Stealth doesn't root for the Rangers to lose, he's just very critical of Hank.

 

[stealth]

Hank will now be 8-11, your starting goalie cannot be under 500 and expect to go to the postseason. AV obviously doesnt want to change things but the Rangers/Hank or in a pattern of 500 so for the postseason to happen THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A GOALIE CHANGE...the question is when

LIKE I SAID BEFORE....... JOHNNY KNOWS NOTHING!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Come on now guys,

Stealth doesn't root against the Rangers, he just has very high expectations for Hank.

Johnnie doesn't know nothing, he's actually pretty knowledgeable of the game.

No need to turn on each other. You guys are both excellent posters.
