what a satisfying night, i hate the sharks. did you see that bullshit Thornton was slopping around? He said the rangers were the softest team they have played on the 6 game road trip. You just lost 5-2 you fucking moron, and that guy for the first part of his time with the bruins and then the sharks was always soft in the playoffs, fuck that guy.
Too bad they couldn't get the ROW because they deserved it, but 2 points is 2 points. Hiller played amazing.
We really shouldve had 2 or 3 more goals this game, but Hiller played great, as did Lundqvist. Cant say enough about Gaborik after tonight, his line with Wolski and Stepan was solid once again. Solid win for sure.
Christensen is great in shootouts, i don't know his percentage but i know it's high. gaborik made about 12 moves on his shot, some of the quickest hands i've ever seen. i hope they can just stay healthy. If they do they will be a tough team to beat later on. I love beating any team from out here where i live, i get bash people in the office this morning.
trying to stay grounded here. when i get amped up the injuries start, so as fired up as i am over these wins, i am staying grounded for now. shutout for Biron.
I haven't seen a Ranger team this cohesive in a long time. And the goaltending is outright superb right now. Grounded question of the season - Can they do this in December and January, or are they going to get really mediocre like they do every year?
I think I am most excited to have a legit backup goalie. Hank finally has all the pieces to be ready for a strong playoff run. Now we see if they can avoid the mid season swoon that has killed them for years.
December and January collapses are an annual Rangers tradition. I hope that can change. Anyway things are looking great right now. Stepan and Del Zotto have really impressed me recently. Gaborik has been in straight up beast mode, same can be said for Girardi on D (who I've always been a big fan of).
