halak is not starting
ReplyDeleteShould be a good game. Hopefully the rangers can show that they can contend with the leauges best, and maybe even beat them too. If halak is not starting, the rangers have the ability to win this by a good amount.
ReplyDeleteno halak in goal. conklin was the first one out at warmups
ReplyDeletethank god halak isnt in net. hes been playing really well.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys missed the Conklin start. Watching football all day. Go Big Blue!!!
ReplyDeletefedotenko is an idiot
ReplyDeleteJohn Gianonne is the worst color guy in the history of color.
ReplyDeletehe's not doing color he's doing play by play
ReplyDeleteare we done with this damn Boogard experiment? How does he get as much time as grachev and stepan?
ReplyDeletepaul - he signed 4 yrs so lots more fun to come
ReplyDeleteThe last ten minutes, especially the last 2, seemed like the Rangers could care less if they won. The forecheck was non-existant.
ReplyDeleteHigh stick my ass!
ReplyDeletepretty terrible they cant produce on offense especially when biron gives up just 1 goal tonight... the inconsistency of this team is pretty frustrating
ReplyDeleteTwo reasons we lost that game...
ReplyDelete1: Boogaard
2: Bill McCreary
Almost forgot to type this too:
ReplyDeletePossession my ass!
Time to try 4 forwards and 1 offensive Dman on the PP. Second consecutive game with a 5 minute major PP and Rangers did nothing with either opportunity. No sustained pressure whatsoever. Couldn't even keep the puck in the offensive zone.
ReplyDeleteRangers need more shot attempts. They're looking for perfect pass, perfect shot, perfect lane opening. Not going to happen. This is the NHL. Pretty basic, get the puck towards the net and chances are some will go in.
the last game the rangers had a decent sized lead so they were willing to just let 5 minutes run off the clock
