Both Price and Lundqvist have been on loving fire lately, and that has me worried. I mean, if MAF can shut the Rangers out twice, what is Price gonna do?


E: Can't watch game 1 as I'll be working. :suicide:

E: ^^^ While Emelin is down on the ice, the shaft of his stick catches Kreider on his right (screen left) skate.


It looked to me like Kreider was going full steam ahead to get to that puck (obviously). He had a stick at his hands, Emelin's stick at his skate, but pretty much had the defensemen beat. I think the fall came mostly from trying to go from over-extending forward to get the puck to pulling back and standing up. You can see he's still hunched over as he's recovering from stretching out, and also on one skate.


Shifting body position + sticks at his skate (maybe hand?) + great speed + slippery ice = oops.







If Montreal had a REAL defenseman, like say, McDonagh, this wouldn't've happened.

No, but seriously, it really blows that Price is apparently gone for the series. I was looking forward to the goalie matchup of this series, and I didn't want any real animosity between HAS and RAS, since they're composed of mostly cool people.


And I just read in the paper this morning about how Therrien was unsure about Price for tonight. :sigh:

Do you really think the subway is only 8 feet deep? If it is anything like the DC subway, 20 feet is probably generous. That poo poo is already below sea level, only water at the surface is going to flood it a la Sandy.

I meant that the water doesn't have to get up to 8 feet high to flood the subways. Hell, I'm pretty sure most of the tunnels have pumps that are constantly trying to keep out water that's always flowing in.

The Rangers are 0-13 in the last 13 games they were ahead in a series. And they've also had a historically bad record with Montreal, against backup goalies, and the team is prone to shutting itself down. I have faith that Montreal is not out of this at all. Hell, if the Rangers even take this to 7, Price might not be out for the rest of the series as reported. I mean, he played out the rest of the period he was injured, and practiced yesterday for a short while. It might just be a tweak that they don't want to chance.

I'm pulling for Price to make a miraculous recovery since I don't want to 1) Win a series against a backup and have that imaginary asterisk 2)be deprived of the goalie matchup I was happy to see between Hank and Price 3)See a series where the Habs goon it up, since they're a better team than that 4) Lose a series against a backup :v:

Well, I won't be posting in the GDT since I'm going out to a bar to watch with friends, but I hope it's a good game. And I'm sorry that HAS can't watch the goalie that deserves to play in net for them. Hope Price recovers soon, but I hope Tokarski/Flanders play alright in his stead.

Nash, Marty, and the PP all scoring bodes really well for the rangers. Unfortunately I can't tell how much of that is the rangers improving vs Price being out. I guess the confidence boost is a massive plus regardless.
Who cares the cause, the effect feeds back into itself. Pile it on. Get everybody feeling good for the next game.


BrokenCycle posted:

I'm really curious as to what the Rangers fans think about this series now that Price is out? They dominated the Habs in game one, obviously, but does it seem cheap that they're going to the SCF because some dork is in net now? How do you guys feel about it?
Aside from my over-the-top excitement about my team that I showed above, I feel sort of robbed not being able to see Price vs Lundqvist. I wanted to see the Rags test Carey. I mean, I do love to see my team win, and I'm glad we won the first two, but I feel Habs with Price vs Rangers would make for a more memorable series, for better or for worse.

He messed up The Great One's name repeatedly in a GDT and was ganged up on for doing so. I think the joke is that he's making it as wrong as possible.

I am a fan of every NY team that my dad does not root for. But because both are on in the house all the time, and hockey is basically the only thing we bond over, I can handle being both an Islanders and Rangers fan.



Also, I don't think calling Crawford "not great" is the same as saying he's bad, as some people are taking it. Even if he's middle of the road, that's pretty solid. And having a great team around him helps even more.

Can anyone explain to me who Doug Murray is and why everyone seems to hate him?

He's a defenseman on the Canadiens who is really very, very awful. But Michel Therrien seems to like him for his grit and the message he sends to other players. All he does, however, is turn the puck over and ice it. Habs fans hate him. Also, he hates being called Doug, because it sounds like dog. And his nickname is Crankshaft.

Honestly, the Rangers should count their loving lucky stars that they are up 3-2 in this series, because the Habs easily could have won games 2 and 4. And to think, they allowed the Canadiens to win 2 loving games with an AHL goalie in net, after purposefully injuring the greatest goalie in the world. gently caress, if Price was in nets the entire series the Habs would have probably been in the finals by now but history will only look at the stupid scoreboards.

And wow, what a coincidence that poor poor Stepan was in the lineup tonight. After the devastating surgery he had to go through, what a brave brave little man he is to fight through the pain of such surgery and play in the series so soon. It's not like he and the Rangers have been cheating their asses off throughout the series, trying to gain whatever stupid edge they can gain. It's almost as if they made his surgery look much worse than it was so that Prust could get a bigger suspension.

Hopefully the assistant coaches can get a nice comfy seat at the next Habs practice in New York. I wouldn't want them to miss any coaching decisions Therrien makes.

If you toned it down a bit, it might be a believable that this is an opinion that someone has.
