    Nothing special, but I like him on the 4th line though with Dom Moore and Fast, then we can roll 4 lines, Sanchize

    I think any team in this league would be thrilled to have Yandle and Boyle as their 5th and 6th dmen

    assuming Lundqvist comes back healthy, we'll be as deep at the blue line and goaltending as i've ever seen this team.

    still good at penalty kill, and actually potent on the pp for a change.
    i don't like not having a 1st round pick for four straight years, but this team is prime to make another run. so i'm all for it!

    looking forward to seeing #93 out there tonite.

    i don't know much about Sheppard. have heard he can take faceoffs, and has a physical style play.
    can anyone elaborate?

    His nothing special rookie season is still better than James Sheppard. I like the acquisition of Sheppard, but this guy is not more than a 4th line player on a cup contending team. He's the replacement for Brian Boyle that we never really found, although I think Boyle is better. JT has also played well with Hagelin and Hayes. It seems like the three of them feed well off each other. I know AV doesn't like Miller much either, but for now the only change we should make to the forward lines is Sheppard in for Glass.

    Would any team in the league be thrilled to have Klein as their 4th defenseman?

    I think its crucial to find a way to get McD, G, Staal and Yandle playing Top 4 minutes. In the playoffs, its ideal to shelter the minutes of Boyle and Klein.

    just noticed they use magnets to put up their skates at MSG. Got to be some serious pull on those things

    Awesome win...I love this team right now constructed. I want Henrik back and getting some action to get adjusted to things.

    Cambot has done well.

    HUGE 5 game road trip coming up, all big games

    Good on face-offs, good defensively, hits, fights, has some speed, can finish a little bit, can set up teammates a little bit, and is probably a 3rd line player on a lot of teams. For the Rangers, he's probably a 4th line LW. He's a good player.

    The way the cap works in the nhl is bullshit. Fuck pegging it to the loonie. Qere definitely going to have to offload someone this summer. Probably klien if we hope to sign hags and stepan back.

    Talis KK has a cap friendly contract for his skill $2.7 mil....Yandle is one of the best passers in the league, this was our best effort of the season, a quality win

    Sheppard brought here to center, so I figure either Miller-Sheppard-Fast , Hags-Dom Moore- Hayes, or Miller- Dom Moore- Fast, Hags- Sheppard- Hayes

    By the way I had to put the radio on last night I couldn't take Sam Nose-in and Joe Mitsubishi kissing the Preds ass any longer....Forsberg with a one handed shot amazing, Shea Weber has the best shot in the league, Pekka Renne has the best glove hand in the league...etc. Kenny Albert and Dave Maloney blow them away

    We just dick-slapped the best team in the NHL with our backup netminder. We dominated that game.

    Strap in boys, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

    I don't think so. I think he's here to play the Brian Boyle role from last season.
