That could have been ANY goalie in the league even a back up and it would be getting the news it is. I know I'm an Islander fan and you'll take this completely out of context but that was embarrassing to watch. I say that with the up most respect for the guy while knowing how great of a player he is along with what he has done in his career.

Id take him on my team throwing temper tantrums and all in a heart beat

I'll say this and end it, if it were any other goalie in the league it would be "whatever" but because he's Hank, has a nickname and is a NY Ranger he gets crucified whether it's from Rangers fans or ignorant miserable trolls
- KreiderBomb

He's getting junk from it because like Jan said, if he was really hurt he should have stayed down, he popped back up instantly so the Refs assumed everything was okay, when Hank was calling to them they probably just chalked it up to a player belly aching which happens in every game.

Amen

Do we think Hank is playing tonight? (if he isn't hurt)

what happens now is, like the Alec Martinez overtime Cup winner, now we have a new Henrik meme that everyone will use to make fun of him

yes. think he was pulled more for a rest and to try and take the focus off him. him going off the deep end brought the crowd back, and really rallied the pens after they tied it up

I agree that if any goalie did it that it would get some press. However, maybe only a goalie in Toronto or Montreal would get more press doing that than Hank. There is some built in extra coverage based on the market and his pedigree.

So who thinks they win tonight? I'll go with the odds stacked heavily against them and say they pull it off.

TPC's the only one who can be positive

i would love to see them come out motivated and get a W

the only chance they have is if they stay out of the box. 2 penalties at most.

They can play with the Caps 5 on 5, they just can't stop that powerplay, and guess what, nobody else can either.

Dunno. It might be a seminal moment for this year's squad.

Maybe they rally around last night's loss and take that next step. Or maybe they just put together a very uninspired effort. I could see either come to pass.

Meh...I wouldn't worry.

Do you really believe the BS you're typing? If that was Brodeur you'd be all over him like Bill Clinton was on a famous blue dress.

Fluery is a sieve and should thank his defense for blocking so many shots against a team that refuses to shoot, criticism is deserved though Jan, this team doesn't resemble the teams of the past two years, some of it is on the players and some on AV

I can't believe they are 37-21, this season feels like a nightmare

Both the Isles and Devils come back to win and Smith-Pelley scores for the Devils while Staal barely sees the ice in the 3rd, just another day as a Rangers fan
- KreiderBomb

C'mon now...if Fleury is a sieve so is King Henrik

Henrik Lundqvist GAA = 2.31 Save Pct = .923 SO = 4
Marc-Andre Fleury GAA = 2.31 Save Pct = .923 SO = 5

If Hank was stunned or hurt, he wouldn't have flipped the net upside down. He was probably pissed, not realizing McDonagh tried to kill him once again, and acted like a (frank)ing baby. I love the guy, but that was just stupid. Really not a story. The story should be how the Rangers got the lead and decided to fall asleep for 3 goals in 3 minutes and then proceed to get what, 4-5 shots on goal in the 3rd.

I rarely ever criticize AV but this is how i feel about him (frank)ing up the 3rd line.

Will someone please shadow Ovi tonight? Don't let him near that circle and he might not score. Also, no pass on the tape from G.

You have told me numerous times that you hate and dont respect the guy while still being extremely attracted to him.

I don't understand why teams don't just glue a guy on OV and play 4-on-3.

As for G, no chance he doesn't have at least 1 terrible giveaway. It's part of the fun!

If that ends up being the ticket I will watch every debate.
