Thrashers 3, Rangers 2, SO

The New York Rangers (14-15-3) were defeated by the Atlanta Thrashers (17-11-3) by the score of 3-2 in a shootout, last night. For a recap and box score go to Yahoo! Sports and newyorkrangers.com.

...really can't complain about the loss. I thought it was one of the Rangers best efforts of the season. Unfortunately, you're going to run into a hot goaltender every once in a while. Although, it would have been nice to get two points.

...i've officially run out of ways to discribe Higgins inability to score in a big situation.

...i've also run out of ways to describe Gaborik's ability to score in every situation.

...Del Zotto was absolutely dealing last night.

...i was worried that the Rangers might have been rushing Dubinsky back early last night, but he looked real good. Almost like he didn't miss a beat.

...don't think it can get any worse for Kotalik right now after missing a wide open net in the first period then his disgraceful shootout attempt.

...great job by Lundqvist and the penalty killers on the late 5-on-3 to preserve the point after an awful call on Staal.

...Callahan is really starting to come around as he's scored in two straight.

...after a two game absence the real Sean Avery reappeared last night.

...off today then home and home against the Islanders.

"...Del Zotto was absolutely dealing last night."

What do you mean by that? Am I missing something? Can't figure out what you mean by "dealing"...

It's slang for on his game. His passing last night was sick.

All of the remaining 8 games this month are against teams that currently don't have a playoff spot. This is a golden opportunity to get back into the mix. I hope we can capitalize.

Girardi's play right now just makes me cringe. It's about time someone calls out his limited abilities. And drury needs to retire prematurely cause he looks like an absolute jackass out there.

Get that piece of shit (or am I being too harsh on turd?) Kotalik out of the line up NOW. The only thin he can do right now is do dirty as hell checks that will lead to trouble for the team..
