what do u think about Brendan Smith?
- wingz4life

Was great for us in the playoffs last year, been a bit shaky this year so far. Only 2 games though

Yeah, because he's the one causing all of the defensive lapses too.

Again make a save and maybe catch the odd puck

Bit of both, defense sucking and Hank can't stop a beach ball

Best regular season player

How the hell do you not at least call a TO here? The team is getting waxed

AV won't make it to Thanksgiving, this is a continuing decline

Yes!!

The dreaded 3 goal lead. We got this poop

We're contenders again

It can still be 6-5.

I don't think there's many goalies keeping the puck out with how they've played, defense turned over the puck like it was their business

result aside; a great period of hockey

We can see what great speed can do. Too bad the Rangers don't know how to use their's as well.
A.V. should have called a timeout to re-group and give them a mouth fill after the Leafs 3rd goal, due to the pace they were being out sped by up to that point.
And don't try pinning any of the blame on Hank. As a fellow 40 years goalie, Hank was tired in just moving back & forth, besides facing the number of Leafs total shot attempts, on top of their 18 shots on goal, in which nearly every shot attempt was of a quality scoring chance.

Other than the 1st goal, I would say Hank would have normally stopped 3 of the next 4. He looks as awful as the D tonight

Of course he does make a (frank)ing save !!!

Hank has been horrible, those last 2 goals were very MEHHH, defense isn't helping him out but he's been bad. I can't fathom why AV wouldn't pull him (I would have after the 4th goal) & play Pavelic, start Hank again tom night.

Lindy Ruff baby.

Good news is Price got lit up for 4 goals in the first so maybe we'll see Montoya tomorrow night and have a chance to get a point

It was like a one sided pickup hockey session against us, where for 90 straight minutes, I or the opposing goalie would face 100 shots on goal, and be happy with giving up only 15 goals.

At least we have a good powerplay...just need to fix the rest.

But really, Chytill isn't ready...Gorton needs to find a way to add another center

It can still be 6-5.

I remember a game in Washington back in 91-92 when we trailed 6-1 after 1 & came back & won 7 or even 8-6, but that was a MUCH better Ranger team.

I can't wait.

This is going to OT

I have no doubt we can score 5 goals...but I don't see us shutting them out the rest of the way

I don't believe you.
