SwampD Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So wait, you guys are saying that wasn't an exciting game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I only saw the end of the second, but saw all 3 goals, there was a lot of flow, it wasn't offense back and forth but rather a chess match..... Sure it's not crazy scoring but the Rags have had all 1 goal games these playoffs which is pretty impressive in its own merit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) So wait, you guys are saying that wasn't an exciting game? I often find low scoring games to be exciting. The problem I have right now is that I am finding it hard to get past the feeling of inevitability I have when watching the Rangers right now. No matter how exciting or non-exciting the games actually are, they are almost always ending 2-1. That is now 7 of their 9 victories that are by the 2-1 score, and 9 of their games overall. Watching the game, it just feels (and lately, rightly so) that the game is going to end 2-1 Rangers, and it's just a matter of time. It's the repetition and seeming inevitability that gets me.

JJFIVEOH Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So wait, you guys are saying that wasn't an exciting game? That's what I'm saying. Dump & chase, clutch & grab. Wash, rinse, repeat. Games are being decided on lucky bounces more so than ever. There is no offensive flow, no place for talented forwards to showcase their game. I don't want to see a team win because they got the last lucky bounce. I want to see a team win because they dominated offensively. I'm just not seeing it, these games have become repetitive. When I go back and look at the box scores from right after the lockout 10 years ago, there is no comparison. I often find low scoring games to be exciting. The problem I have right now is that I am finding it hard to get past the feeling of inevitability I have when watching the Rangers right now.

Exactly. I don't care how good goaltending has become, or should be, but teams should not have a winning record when scoring 2 goals. Might as well go watch soccer.

LabattBlue Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Exactly. I don't care how good goaltending has become, or should be, but teams should not have a winning record when scoring 2 goals. Might as well go watch soccer. But idiot Bettman will look only at TV ratings and attendance and come to the conclusion that nothing is wrong with the game.

qwksndmonster Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 So wait, you guys are saying that wasn't an exciting game? Yes. That's what I'm saying. That game bored me to tears. It was fitting that the Lightning goal was a beautiful passing play, and both Rangers goals were lucky bounces in front of the net. I want to watch flow. Let the most talented hockey players in the world play talented hockey. I can watch ECHL bodies slam into one another and it doesn't bother me. On the biggest stage in hockey? It pisses me the off. Well, actually I'm just generally pissed today. But that game didn't help at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Big time playoff game decided by puck bouncing off Dominick Moore's shin for Christ's sake. Hockey is in a bad spot right now. I'm hoping for better action today at 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Every time I see Domonic Moore's story I can't help but like the guy. I don't want New York to win, but if they do I will really enjoy watching him raise the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 So stoked to watch the Ducks-Blackhawks right now. IMO this is the Finals, and easily the most entertaining series we'll have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
