not sure if it's a new york thing or what, but as soon as a guy slumps ya'll are the first to throw dirt on him.

truth be told, the rangers CAN'T afford to start Talbot. You start Talbot, you send a message to your all world goalie he can be replaced, and if that's the case he's gonna want to be traded. This isn't like the flower in Pitt, he sucked and had to be pulled, but Vokum is no Talbott, Talbott is capable of a starting job on this team or more then half the other teams in the league.

truth be told i watch the half the game, and i noticed a lot of odd man rushes going into the NY zone, can't blame everything on hank, his defense hasn't exactly stood tall

I agree with most of this. There are some exceptionally fast talented forwards in this series and both teams have a few weak link links on D. Match-ups are going to be key. The need to keep Girardi and McDonagh against the triplets and keep Yandle who is just awful defensively away from them. On the other side you want your best players going at Carle and especially Coburn.

I know Nash is playing OK but you need your best players to score goals in the playoffs. Like I said earlier the Rangers are going to need 4-5 goals a night to win this series, I'm not sure they can get them without Nash leading the way.

I thought Hank was shaky all night. He did a bad job on the clear on the first goal and obviously the last goal was a disaster. Everything in the middle really wasn't his fault. Starting Cam isnt even a thought that's crossed my mind. This is Hank's team and if it wasn't for him, they'd be on the golf course already.

People killing Nash for last night have no clue. The 5 goals they scored was not the problem, the 6 that they gave up were.

I honestly think that game yesterday, became a must win for the Rangers when they sent it to OT. They haven't scored all playoffs, they net 5 and still lose. That's devastating. But they have scrapped and clawed all season. I still have faith in this team, but they better batten down the hatches and recommit to that defensive system that they've played all season. Can't keep giving a team as good as Tampa, these prime scoring opportunities
