    I know exactly what AV was thinking watching the Leafs game last night....

    ... "damn, that Matthews kid would make an awesome towel boy for the Rangers"

    AV was thinking that Matthews was out of position. Centers aren't supposed to score goals according to AV. How else can you explain Derek Stepan as your FIRST line Center?

    Quality win against a tough Isles team that never quits. Pirri has an insane shot, Zib was real good and Kreids stole the show...

    When was the last time we had guys that could shoot like Pirri and Zib, makes a huge difference in the PP. Kreids in beast mode is unstoppable.

    Let's hope he can bring that every game instead of once every 10 games like he has all career long. In the postgame last night he revealed that he's been working with sports pyschologists all offseason to correct his issues. Looking good so far

    Pirri's goal off that Kreider feed was one of the prettiest goals I have seen in years.

    If Gorton's smart he is working on a deal to keep him here before he hits free agency again

    Kreider signed in the offseason, Pirri is only on a one year deal

    Zib may be the type of guy that can literally carry this team and elevate Kreider and Buch. Impressed with the new guys in game 1

    it's also a big deal that glass isn't breaking the rolling of 4 lines

    the season is all going to come down to defense

    Kicked the Blues ass, outshot them 15-0 in the 3rd period and still lost 3-2. Get rid of Rick Trash, please! Girardi hip flexor

    I don't understand the Rangers obsession with keeping useless old players around.

    GD, I really don't see Nash doing much, trade him while he still has some value and play the younger guys, bring up Boo Nieves

    We can't trade him. No one would be insane enough to trade for that contract.
