Yes he could throw more body checks, but remember he just had a concussion and I don't think needs to hit people as much to make an impact nor is it the best use of him. So my guess is he is playing smart and not throwing his body into situations because his energy is better spent elsewhere. The guy has a bunch of goals this postseason. I love him and Straka as a PK unit. Shanny has been invaluable.

Certainly Avery could have skated it out orchipped it out rather than go for the homerun. A defensive zone faceoff when you can't change lines is not the best option. BTW - Jagr was a monster yesterday - several nice hits. Playoffs hockey in May at the Garden gotta love it. Stas – icings are acceptable when you have no other choice.

Koffy was the one who pointed this out above at 12:38 PM. I know he was banged up in the last series so is it injury related and if so any guesses on where and extent?

The Rangers understand who they're playing, yet the Sabres don't seem to want to give the Rangers any credit for anything, and to be honest, I think it's hurting the Sabres. The Rangers know they're in a place where nobody thought they would be, except for maybe themselves, and it's given them something to rally around. The Sabres think they're the greatest team in the world. The way they talk about themselves is as if they'd won multiple Cups in the last few years. The Devils I can understand, they've won the Cups, and they're as arrogant as they come, but Buffalo? Who's won a Cup in that team? Drury? It's very subtle, but that's the feeling I get from them. Maybe if they were affraid of the Rangers they might play better. One of the things that I have noticed about the Sabres is that they don’t give much respect to the Rangers.

So is the entire team. Thats why we are in the second round tied at 2 games with Buffalo. It is a team effort and everyone has stepped it up. Jagr is pumped and playing with more passion.

He is totally pumped and giving it everything he's got. Shanny really came up huge last night. Granted, he is not near 100%, but I take his 70% over many others 100% any day. He continues to come through in the clutch with great hockey instinct and his experience and leadership is invaluable in the playoffs. Shanny should be here to stay as long as he wants- Jags knows this may be his last real chance at a cup.
