I'm glad to see a few of my fellow Ranger fans are optimists........I'm just not one of them now. I don't think they are handling coming in a a marked team all that well............let's face it, last year they snuck up and shocked everyone. I've pointed out before and will again, they did have defensive lapses last year too, but Hank bailed them out at kep points, they'd get a bounce go their way and won a lot of close games like that..........this year the opposite is happening, and yes it looks a lot like the playoffs where getting goals was like drawing blood from a stone. Agreed that seeding doesn't matter, afterall we saw what the #1 got us last year....but it was nice to cruise through the season not worrying about making the playoffs....I guess 2 years in a row of that was too much to ask for. I predict an Isles comfortable win and a lot of boo birds Thursday.
agreedso far on MDZ.Ive been a defender of his but he was absolutely BRUTAL last night. Like brutal to the point he shouldnt dress tomorrow night. But again, chill guys. 9 games.
That UNTOUCHED bump to the ice he took in the corner of the offensive zone would have made most WWE wrestlers envious.
I feel the need to become henrik's new guitar teacher. if i was, his play would elevate on the ice. it's really that simple. that's the third time in a row the boys could have gone over 500, and the third tank job in said situation. i'd like to see some more fervent skating and urgency out there. plenty of time left to get it together, and they will.
Lines I'd like to see: Gaborik-Stepan-Callahan Pyatt-Richards-Nash Kreider-Miller-Hagelin Boyle-Powe-Halpern McDonagh-Girardi Staal-Del Zotto Stralman-Gilroy
Brett Cyrgalis @BrettCyrgalis In what is apparently an optional #NYR skate, no Girardi, Staal, Richards, Asham. Everyone else on, including Callahan Hopefully Danny G. just needs a day of rest, and Cally is close
15 sell-outs in a row pal, and just another beating laid down across the Hudson last night. Just stop it. I'm the biggest Devils homer there is and at the beginning of the season I pegged the Rangers as the likely representatives out of the East this year. So put your ridiculous fanboism aside, and respect the fact that the Devils are absolutely still a contender. Keep dragging out Aaron Asham and Taylor Pyatt in meaningful spots, should work out wonderfully.
Absolutly. Marty is playing lights out, Clarkson is on his way to a great season. I hate the Devils but I admit, they will be a contender.
Devs are always a contender, I'll trade u Sather for Lou...Clarkson is a surprise to me, more skill than I thought, it's amazing how u guys lose players, like Parisi and still play quality hockey
