![]() And yet he didn't score, so to some he sucks. Nash was physical and he threw his weight around in front of the net.Įven with his statsheet the way it was, Nash was the best player on the ice in Game 3, for either team. Nash was a monster in the neutral zone and made a brilliant diving backcheck to break up a golden chance for the Capitals. In Game 3 (the game that really started the hate wave) Nash had 15 shot attempts and seven on net - the Capitals as a team has 22 shots in the game. That's Nash's role on this team, those are his expectations and it's absolutely fair to point at Nash and say "one goal through eight playoff games is not enough."īut in a way that's also missing a major point: Nash has been the Rangers best forward in this series and it isn't even close. Most of the time, especially when dealing with a 42-goal scorer, people change "offense" to "goals" and in a way they're not wrong. Nash is paid $7.8-million a year to be a guy who the Rangers can rely on for offense and fans look at his lack of goals as a sign that he's not doing his job. At the end of the day, this is a bottom-line league with bottom-line expectations. I do understand the frustration - and I feel it as well. Last night when Nash didn't score again, they grabbed the doorknob and started turning it. They heard the noise and they're curious. Right now it's almost like Rangers fans are standing outside the basement door. It happens every time, and yet in every horror movie that guys keeps going into the basement and keeps dying. He goes into the basement, finds something crazy and then he dies. But that noise is really interesting so I should go check it out. That guy: You know, I traveled to this isolated location by myself, there's no cell reception and I'm about 10 miles from the next closest person who could possibly come help me. *Guy who happens to be alone in a creepy house hears a noise in the basement* You know the feeling when you're watching a horror movie and you know exactly what's going to happen?
