Lundqvist didn't have a great series. He was incredible in games 1, 3, and 4, but otherwise not so much. On the other hand, Andy was only incredible in games 1 and 6, so.....

Furnaceface posted:Staal seems like a much bigger problem than AVs obsession with Tanner Glass. Maybe I'm blind, but Staal seems like he could still be useful.....IF he's limited to sheltered 3rd pairing minutes. Which AV will not do, because ~~~veteran presence~~~ McD - Shattenkirk Skjei - Smith Staal - Clendenning/Holden? That's assuming that buying out Girardi is even an option.

So was Marc Staal always bad or did he just get old and slow ever since he got concussed by his brother?

rangers are a dumb butt team and AV is a dumb butt coach that the rangers are stuck with because every other option available would literally be a nightmare in comparison That is seriously one of the most embarrassing series losses I've ever seen. The Rangers scored first in 5? games, blew two late leads and lost those games in OT, gave up another GWG late in the third, and came back from down 0-2 (when it should've been at least 1-1 if not 2-0) only to blow game 5 and lose game 6 at home. For all intents and purposes, that could've been a sweep and instead the team that was outplayed for a solid 80% of that series isn't even pushed to 7. e: also lol ottawa in the ECF this playoff format tho

deoju posted:I just looked this up. Here's goalies ranked by wins all-time and here they are by playoff wins. Cujo is the only goalie without a cup higher than him on either list, by 49 wins all time, and only 2 playoff wins. 1) Luongo has more regular season wins, and has no ring. 2) If you played for the Habs at some point between 1950 and 1979 and you didn't get a ring, you have the right to feel that the universe is out to get you and specifically you.

Sorry Rangers fans, if Pit was gonna get knocked out then I'd have pulled hard for Lundqvist to go all the way. Anderson.and Karlsson are cool, but Melnyk and Dorion are such a pair of twits. Go Pens/Caps winner vs Predators in the SCF.

To the people laughing about the Rangers home "away" game, doesn't this benefit them? They effectively now get one more home game than anyone else.

Xtanstic posted:So was Marc Staal always bad or did he just get old and slow ever since he got concussed by his brother? He's a physically gifted defenseman who was great at his physical/scoring peak (age 23-24) but missed significant portions of two seasons with major injuries (concussion+eye) so his experience peak (age ~27) was hampered by that. Once he got back on track from missing practice/conditioning due to those injuries, age was working against him, his team and the league's style of play was changing away from his forte, and the Rangers also picked up a star #1 LHD (McDonagh) who replaced him. His role changed, from Torts leaning on him for as many minutes as possible, to AV doing the opposite of sheltering him. He's good with positioning, using his stick and body. He's not good at getting the puck out of the defensive zone. Staal never had a lot of offensive talent, and the eye injury definitely didn't help. He's pretty good at knowing when to join the rush, but very weak at quick movements with the puck, both passing and peeling away from guys to protect it and move it. Hello, offseason. I'm not mad about the Rangers defense and I'm impressed by how the team has creatively reworked its lineup every year and gotten a pretty good result.

They effectively now get one more home game than anyone else. its negligible compared to how much they're saving in tax money. quote:For the tax year that begins in July, the Garden will save “roughly $54 million” in property taxes, according to George Sweeting, the deputy director of the city’s Independent Budget Office. Last year, the savings were $17 million. In 2002, it saved $6.9 million. The deal is now worth nearly eight times more because the value of land in Manhattan has soared and because the Garden has invested heavily in renovating the building. thats the 2014 figure so add another ~$150 million to the total
