If Brodeur hadn't played his best game of the year it could have easily been 5-0. Dawes looked fantastic. He is fast, tenacious, and has a great wrist shot. If he doesn't stay on one of the top lines Renney is wasting a talent. Anyone who doubts his scoring ability should check out his stats from the minors. This guy is a big-time goal scorer when given a chance. Also, I'm still mistified that there are so many negative comments on here about Hossa. OK, so he's not his brother, but give the guy a break. He is one of the hardest workers in the corners, and gives his line a chance by keeping pressure in the offensive zone. I realize the team hasn't been scoring much, but if you look at shots on goal you can see that the Rangers have outplayed most of their opponents. They are getting chances...the goals will come. I would be more concerned if they were giving up a ton of goals. I was happy with the overall performance last night. If Brodeur hadn’t played his best game of the year it could have easily been 5-0.

The guy belongs on the 4th line or the press box when everyone is healthy. Dubinsky gets better and better as the games go by. Dawes has tremendous hands. The guy is a good skater is willing to throw the body and backchecks hard. All the young wingers they have does give Senile Sather flexability. Sather could deal Prucha and Montaya in a package for a top dman that can run the pp. Btb even though almost everyone hear hates Hollweg he played a good game. I thought he had his best game of the year. Hollweg threw the body all night long and agitated nicely. Dawes has great chemistry with Shanny heck even Drury sprung to life. Lundqvist is imo the best goalie in the Nhl, If the Rangers signed him to a lifetime contract tomorrow I wouldn't complain. Nice solid game as usual from Girardi. I thought Jagr played his best and most forceful game last night. Hossa can’t put a puck in the ocean. The guy belongs on the 4th line or the press box when everyone is healthy.

The second unit with Dubi and Co. look better than the number one unit. I don't mind the #1 group but I hate it when they stay out there for 1:30 of the 2:00 min PP and then Dubi and Co. get a whopping 30 seconds. I'm happy Renney finally saw the light and put them out first. Dubi is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Over the past 3-4 games he looks much more comfortable and his confidence seems to be on the rise. And Rick,

They actually look porous... and its nice to see!!! Imagination

Hopefully, the Coach will continue to adjust his Special Team ice time rationing based on merit, not reputation. THe fact that the second PP unit started the PP late in the game, and scored, is very significant. They are hungry for loose pucks, throw the puck at the net and crash. That's the way to score goals...Period.. Finding a place for Dawes to play, when and if everyone is healthy is not a problem, it’s a luxury called depth.

People were treating me like I was nuts or something. Well, folks, last night was Dawes's coming out party and it was damn good to see. This kid can play and has a hell of a shot. It's alarming that Tom Renney can't spot talent on his own. Some of our best players are kids who Renney has been forced to play due to injuries. Last year, Girardi and Cally, for example. It might be Dawes this year. A few weeks ago, I was getting killed by people on here after I posted that Dawes should be playing on a top line. People were treating me like I was nuts or something.
