Game Thread: Montreal Canadiens(2) vs. New York Rangers(2) | ECF

[obxyankeefan]

it looked to me like Kreider decided to take the shot and let his body go where it goes, instead of avoiding the contact. exactly what I would want players on my team to do.

I think the Kreider hate is going a little overboard. I am upset that Price is hurt, I want to see the best play but running a goalie is common place. IMO the injury was unintentional.

The talk of him going full speed as a pretext to convincingly lose control and hit the goalie is laughable. He has a chance at a breakaway with two defenders chasing him. He is supposed to be skating full speed. Could he have avoided Price better? Absolutely, but if my forward has a chance to get in the opposing goalies head, I want him to take it.

Blutarsky went from Animal House with 7yrs of college to ECF goaltender??

Aw man just as the Habs take the lead, the Rangers tie it

 

[WestEndVol]

lol, two pretty wild goals by both teams.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

That was a HUGE ANSWER BACK!

About time we get a lucky bounce like them.

We're getting dominated on the boards, not good

What I can't figure out about Henry is how in the hell he is so effective at covering the low part of the net when he stands upright with his stick off the ice when the play is above the faceoff circles in his zone.

I would love to see a scientific examination of his reflexes. There really shouldn't be any way he can get down to cover low from that position. But he always does. He's a freak of nature.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Habs' are dominating the play.

Fortunate it's 1-1

 

[David_son]

Rangers look pretty flat so far 3rd string goalie is in we should be testing him.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Rick Nash makes it 2-1 Rangers

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

THE BEAST HAS BEEN AWOKEN!!!

 

[David_son]

THE BEAST HAS BEEN AWOKEN!!!

With Krieder back if Nash can start scoring we will be tough to beat.

 

[Slimpikins]

It's tough for the Habs to give up a goal late in the period after carrying the play.

*Unholy Beast.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

If I am Therrian I put Budaj in to start the 2nd . Too important a game to rely on Tokarski especially given the luck the Rangers are getting tonight

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Hank is the main reason we're not down by at least 2 goals. Playong top notch yet again

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

*Unholy Beast.

Still love that man! Never gave up on him when everyone bashed him. You know that!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

With Krieder back if Nash can start scoring we will be tough to beat.

Kreider has always been the missing piece to that line. They sucked when he was out

 

[Slimpikins]

Lundqvist was solid in the first period. Captain Obvious says that Montreal needs to score the next goal if they want to even the series before heading to New York.
