Our defense is spent

Just about 5 straight periods that the Rangers have skated in MSG without a penalty. I can't really remember a single play that had me looking for the call, but still odd.

Sad effort tonight.

Doesn't feel like playoff hockey at all...seems like a mid November game

I saw a holding by Eminger too.

Pierre found a new buddy....Torrey Krug

Boston is just bigger. We are a small team. Wearing us down with every shift

We miss Clowe big time.

Hard for me to respond to that without making a crack about style.

I think a few Bruins D-men have become expendable...

It really is but this is also attributed to how well Boston is playing tonight. Rangers aren't matching Boston's intensity at all.

We've gotten away with a few tonight

They look cooked, if we win it's gonna be a miracle, glaring weaknesses need to addressed like effort and mentality

it's mind boggling the Rangers are winning this game right now

Hank = 1 man team

Not a hard task to play D against the Rangers. They don't forecheck anymore and they don't pressure the points. I'm not trying to be critical. That's just the truth.

Since the Rangers goal, Boston outshot us 14 to 1 for the rest of the 2nd period.
It must be Hagelin's fault there too!

How can they lose the intensity battle being down 2 games and being on home ice?

Embrace it. I spent over a decade watching an undeserving team win series, on the back of a goalie. You get use to it. The wins still count.

They just don't have the puck at all.

Watch how ineffective Krug is if they advance to the next round. Rangers are leaving the points wide open and Boston is manipulating this on a regular basis.

Its hard to believe that one player in Clowe changes the complexion of the team. This looks a lot like the pre-deadline team that was too nice, not nasty enough. We are so used to seeing this team get better as things got nastier....that being said, if they hang eh, you never know.

Yea refs definitely helping us out

It is amazing how much frustration that a team that is only one of eight remaining has caused me this year.

You think Big trades will be made with you guys next year? Maybe Nash?

just chipping pucks out to nobody....that stat that says the Rangers haven't lost a game when they carry a lead into the 3rd for the last half century is in peril tonight

Very good point.

The losses of guys like prust Feds Dubinsky Artie really glaring now. Playoff rosters need size. We don't have nearly enough size

Nash isn't being traded.
