    Get well fast Hank, I play Skapski next game, Talbot in a 3-2 game with 4 minutes left fans on a 60' slapshot...he's absolute garbage in shootouts too...
    JT Miller in the shootout Joe, Zucc, Brass and Steps say hello....

    I think the lead blowing should dissipate when henrik gets back in the groove, but until then these guys
    have been hard pressed to hold onto a lead. would like to see them close teams out soon.

    Yeah, I have zero complaints in mid February. Early April - now that would be a different story. They are grinding out the season and winning all the time. Best record past 10 games in the East

    yes sir! 7-1-2 since henrik had to depart. watching them score to add to their speed is a beautiful sight. they didn't score like this last year.
    they have scored more goals than the pens, the caps, the ducks, etc, only the isles, lightning and blues have scored more goals this year.
    and a fantastic road record to boot! road dogs!

    If St. Louis is this hot during the playoffs, watch Out. We will have two DANGEROUS scoring lines.

    Some say that the Rangers play worse at home because they are a speed team and the ice is crappy at MSG

    Is that still the case? MSG was often mentioned as having bad ice bin the past but with a billion dollar facelift and this being 2015, I'd think they'd have a jacked-up system in place.

    I've heard that if it warms up inside the ice gets softer and the puck starts bouncing like a superball.

    That's because the Rangers deflate their pucks.

    Stepan is such a phenomenal player. At a PPG pace this year. In his last 82 games (length of a full season), he has scored something like 77 points.

    Literally one of the best two-way centers in the league. We actually have a homegrown top-10 (top-15 at worst) center in the league.

    Feels good man.

    EDIT: Centers in the league better than Stepan (no particular order)

    Malkin
    Crosby
    Tavares
    Getzlaf
    Stamkos
    Giroux
    Seguin
    Datsyuk
    Toews
    Kopitar


    I don't think you can definitely say any other center is better than Stepan.

    Step is also much better defensively than anyone on this list not named Toews or Datsyuk.

    Fact: Derek Stepan is one man losing hair on his head at a faster rate then me.

    AV says there are "a few balls up in the air" regarding the #NYR lineup tonight..he says there are some "flu-like" issues

    “@AdamHerman_BSB: Swedish media are reporting that Oscar Lindberg has been called up to #NYR.
