Am I the only one really pissed with JT Miller on that goal rather than Boyle?
- mrhattrick27

I have to see it, but if Ward was Miller's responsibility then yes AND that was the 2nd time Miller set Ward up. Is Ward on his fantasy hockey team or something? All 6 players had a hand in that one.

When Boyle first got the puck he had a chance to clear the zone, instead he just skated to the corner to try and run out the clock. I didn't agree with that move on his part

Dan Boyle -2 just saying

Not even close to true. Not even close.

read my twitter handle, he misplayed the faceoff, allowing Ovi to beat him to the puck. Then, below coverage in front on Ward. On latter, can say same about McD, as Stepan was with Ovi, so no reason for both to be there.

All players on the ice had a hand. The icing that caused the face off wasn't a good play either.

That's my point. Plenty of blame to go around. They have to forget and move on now.

I just watched it in real time about 10 times. I hate Boyle as much as Tom. Mac gently tips it to the corner. Boyle goes in as a righty looking over his shoulder. Hold it or just kinda slap at it backhand? It was so bang bang. He had no choice.

JT scoops behind te net thinking he is getting it there. Doesn't, rolls back around then kinda just floats in no mans land leaving Ward open.

On Miller as well. Stepan at fault for offsides.

Yea you're right I just hate Boyle.

That first goal...just perfect. That second goal...just a tough break. poop happens gotta move on.

imo boarding yes, elbow no ...

Will likely get new blog up in AM. Lots to process, as not a good game at all by the Rangers. Fortunate it was 1-1 late.

Yea other players share the blame to. I was just saying I didn't agree with that play by Boyle.

No goal and we don't even talk about that hit.

there is a reason every opposing coach tries to get their best players on the ice when dan boyle is out there. let's not over-analyze this one.

Re-watch it in real time.

I don't know about that...I think we overall played a good game. Just a tough break on that last goal and we couldn't capitalize on the chances we had. "Fortunate" it was 1-1 is pushing it imo.

AV Agrees with me

"Vigneault says Rangers coverage broke down in front of net and won't comment on the hit. Says asks me about anything but the officials"

That hit is irrelevant. We sound like Pens fans whining about that.

Boyle is gonna have to do something humongous big to get the fans off him and rightfully so. But I can't in million years blame him for this GW goal by Ward. It's really shallow by what I think are knowledgable hockey like you guys here to do that I still love you all tho

i just saw the hit from the link Jan posted. it's not half as bad as i pictured it.

I don't know Jan, I'm not one to be all rainbows & unicorns about the Rangers but I didnt think it was a badly played game. Last shift there were a couple mistakes but overall I thought they played decently.

Yea I mean Boyle isn't to blame for that last goal. Or even the first one. He just makes my eyes bleed, but he was on the ice for our goal for. But (frank) Boyle still.

I yelled that's a hit from behind as soon as it happened, it's BS

I thought the Rangers had a mini meltdown at the end of the 1st and a meltdown on the last shift. The big story is this team not finishing with all that pressure early in the game. Holtby made a big save late on a rush not long before the goal was scored too.
