I feel like he was plan C or even D when all the others fell through. The only thing you can do now is not play him please play Jones for the love of god

It was a bad goal but I can’t blame Georgie. He stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced. Can’t ask for much more from a backup

He was fine overall. Them failing on the PP and not generating anything 5 on 5 after the 2nd is a team failure.

I haven’t felt this down on the rangers since the rebuild seasons. Really hope they bounce back in game 4

Lindgren is sorely missed. Goodrow too. But there are other guys who need to step up.

Kakko Laf and Mr. Ed do seem to be developing chemistry tho.

Speaking of Mr Ed, how bout that Derby winner? I feel like they shot him up with a mega steroid to win like that

I was just thinking this. He did not have a very good game but going down 4 to 1 took him out of the game and limited his ice time to get back into it.

Guys tell me if I am wrong but does anyone other than me think that Mika has been underachieving this series? I Just think he’s been poor defensively, can’t win a defensive draw and offensively he’s had some spurts but need more from him.

I agree, he needs to be the difference maker. He just hasn’t been yet

Copp and Vatrano are making the case they need new contracts

Rangers biggest issue is unforced turnovers leading to huge chances or goals. Same culprits. Nemeth majority of the time. Can’t not score on 3 pp

Idk maybe Brodzinski? I don’t know if Reaves is the answer in a must win game 4. Really no one to worry about on the Pens that other guys can’t handle.

Listen I love the future of this team we should all be excited. I am also a realist I don’t expect them to go win the cup this year. I do expect them to beat Pittsburgh. I think it would be a gross under achievement to not get to the next round. Also sick and tired of Gallant laughing and brushing this loss off in the postgame presser. He has been severely out coached so far.

Maybe this is one of the reasons he only lasts 3 years at every nhl job he has had

Rangers not having a 4th line to play against the Crosby line sucks. Motte Goodrow and blais all being out really hurts

if we want to be brutally honest, a 3rd string goalie outplayed the “best goalie in the league” and then georgie absolutely poops the bed. game over. other than that both teams were awful defensively

Im sorry, I disagree with you. AG played well, thats it. Its amazing how you want to blame him on 2 terrible give aways. Zib, poop the bed. He has played awful. If you want to start pointing fingers, start with Zibby. It was proven, yet again, when Igor is human, its hard for this team to win.

quote=RangerFan1110]Good article Jan after 43 years of being a Ranger fan and only winning one Stanley Cup its sad to say how much easier it is getting not to win it all since you just don't expect it, you hope and pray for it.

They’ll never do that. Braun isn’t bad. Nemeth is a problem and has been the worst skater all year

Agreed the failed pp was the deciding factor. Happen to think zib has been pretty below average so far

100% he needs to be better. He’s a very streaky player offensively but I think he’s been pretty average in regards to his overall game.

Nemeth needs to sit and I am all for giving Jones an opportunity. Nemeth doesn’t have to the reason we win but he can’t be the reason we lose and his play has been nothing but a liability.
