“I said it before and I will say it again, the Rangers right now remind me of the Devils of a few years back. SOLID goaltending and winning games 2-0 and 3-1.”

yeah, with all the boring trapping and sitting back, Lemaire style.

Imo easily the best first period the Rangers played all year. The Dubinsky and Gomez lines were flying. Two fights plenty of hits and two fights. It seemed like we were going watch a classic. The next two periods were a snozefest. Watching the Nhl Network showing old games from the early 90’s made me nostalgic for the good old days. Biron probably faced tougher shots than Lundqvist. I thought he was very very impressive. Henrik is so in the zone that when Upshall had a semi breakaway I had no doubt he would score. As someone else stated I wish Henrik would stop handling the puck. I think Richter was bad at handling the puck. Good game by Jagr and a nice vintage goal. The young dmen were terrific yet again. They will only continue to get better.

did ANYONE happen to hear the post game wrap up on 1050AM last night? I was driving home from my budies place after the game and this complete dipsh1t on the air is spouting off “Yeah well Hendgrik Sundstrom, was just incredible with his 4th shut out of the year” The guy goes on to say “Sundstrom” 3 more times before someone must have corrected him and he goes oh oh I’m sorry that would be Hendgrik SUNQVIST, Sundqvist just unstoppable tonight …..

unreal, I hope he gets fired badly.

So what that Girardi wasn’t drafted!! I still give the organEYEzation kudos for having the good eye to pick such a solid, defensively gifted player.

Pat Hickey…..Richter still the guy in my eyes until Henrik brings us the Cup. Yes, Hank is on fire and has done tremendous things for us so far. But I can’t give him the “Finest goaltender in the history of the Franchise,” yet. Sorry. Eddie Giacomin might have something to say about that too. Hank is awesome. #1 star of the team so far this year, no doubt. But he has to bring home the Cup before getting that moniker. Believe me, I’d love to see him gain that title!

Dubinsky has great hands. Hits a lot with energy. Creates a ton of space. Knows where to go and what to do out there. He needs to pick the twine a little to get his scoring confidence up, but I like this set-up.

Also, Hossa fits this line well. Any naysayers who did not see Hossa go end-to-end from offensive zone to defensive zone to break up a 2-on-1 can just watch the highlights. Hossa absolutely knows what he is doing out there, in all aspects of the game.

The defense looks great. Staal gets better with every game and nearly made a spectacular offensive play. He keeps improving.

Roszival is stabilizing, I think. But he still made a giveaway that made me tense up and a stupid penalty right after Hossa broke up the 2-on-1.

Marek Malik who?

I said it before and I will say it again, the Rangers right now remind me of the Devils of a few years back. SOLID goaltending and winning games 2-0 and 3-1.

We shall see. Another huge test tonight. Would like nothing more than to see the Fishsticks eat S tonight.

LGR.

Brian Engblom’s hair look like Nick Nolte’s infamous mug shot. Check it out if you can find it online.

Man what a game last night. Staal looked great, that Tyutin pass at the blueline on the last goal was sweet. Pretty solid defensive effort. A few gaffs aside.

Glad Jagr and Dubinski like playin’ together. Vintage Jagr on his goal. Hossa looked great defensivly.

Good to have Avery back. You can see his physical game is infectious.

Hank looked great, AGAIN. A little defensive help and the shutouts just keep coming. Amazing, but not at all surprising.

Shanny is scoring which is nice, Drury still involved and in his case I think his goals may be more timely (play-offs) than plentiful.

The kids all look good!

I’m proud of the team. They said they were going to be patient (even in the eye of the harsh media/fans) and they have been. 4 game winning streak, above .500 and playing great.

WAY TO GO GUYS!!!

P.S. I hate when the games are on VS (I live in FL and have the center ice package… not sure if it’s only on VS in NY). They don’t stay to show the center ice salute to the fans at the end. WHAT THE HELL? In a big rush to get back to the studio so that everyone at home can feel uncomfortable as they stare uncontrollably at Brian Engblom’s hair? Brrrrrrrrrr. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

vogs,
the rangers really have done a great job drafting great young players and grooming them into great nhl players, however you’re mistaken with girardi. I’m not saying hes not a great player, i’m saying he was never drafted. it still baffles me that a defenseman like girardi could slip through an entire draft, or a few drafts for that matter, but if you look you will see that the rangers picked him up as a free agent after he went undrafted. this shows that the rangers scouts deserve more credit for finding talent then most people give them.
