Dubi is starting to look really good. He has some of Langenbrunner's qualities actually, with probably more upside. Im starting to think that Prucha really is expendable here. His lack of size is just killing him. He gets thrown around like a cheap prostitute. Every hit on him looks high because he is like 5'4'' on skates. I just think if we can bring in a 2nd pair D-man for him I would do it in a flash. I like the guy, he plays hard, but sometime you have to accept the fact that you just arent big enough. Speaking of strength coaches, did anyone see Drury's arms (or lack thereof) during the interview. Try some weights dude.... tomg, im still not in love with dawes, not sure what it is.

Staal is pretty strong as well. While Dawes is a midget he's not afraid to throw the body or play in traffic. Prucha more than anyone needs to get stronger and skate with his head up.

The team wasn't that much on top of it's game but they were able to fight through. Lundqvist was flatout fantastic. If not for his big time goaltending specifically in the second period that was dominated by the Devs the Rangers no doubt lose this one. They looked alittle tired at times and didn't win as many battles as they did the night prior. Parise was flying all night for the Devs like he usually does against the Rangers. When is Mike Milbury gonna bash Patrik Elias? The last two years there's not been a bigger underachiever. Oh wait he's not a Rangers so Dinglebury won't say a word. Dubinsky was terrific again he drove to the net hard had some nice rushes and scored off a nice shot. The entire line played fairly well. Drury was terrific again as he played a real good all around game. Newsflash the pp at times looked good. The Drury-Gomez-Dawes pp unit was tremendous they got 5-6 great chances and ironically they ended up scoring on a weak shot from behind the net. From the Drury goal on the Devs dominated. Good job by Rozsival not rubbing Parise out after his first two shots why would you wanna take him out left him keep shooting no? To be fair Rozsival was better in his own end then he usually is. He even threw a couple of hits. The Mara-Strudwick pairing imo had a poor game. Even Mike Rupp was speeding past Strudwick. While everyone knows how I feel about Malik the sad fact is he's a fat better dman than Strudwick. The Rangers d backed up the entire second period or so it seemed. I thought Dawes played a fairly solid gave. He gave us a health scare in the first but after that came back to play well. Dawes was hustling all over blocking shots hitting the post using his good speed. The Rangers coaches did a good job with adjustments in the third. The team played a smart displined defensive period. Jagr and Straka were fairly quiet again but they did have a couple of good shifts and one real good one late in the third killing a minute with a good forecheck. The refs did a good job no phantom penalties no trying to take control of the game. The Rangers next up play a very talent offensive team with a nearly unstoppable pp. They have to stay out of the box and get another big game from Henrik. It would help alot if Jagr and Straka wake up. That was a good gritty win. The team wasn’t that much on top of it’s game but they were able to fight through. Lundqvist was flatout fantastic.

In the second and the first half of the third period the devils were skating circles around the rangers and the rangers were holding on for life. All I can say is two years ago when the Rangers played there first pre-season game and i saw dubinsky out of all there young players i remember raving about this guy on this blog and now look. He is one of there best players. I also admit i didn't like dawes but I was wrong about him, dawes is starting to look good also. Doodie Machetto,

This team gets pushed around way too much. Rangers need to hire a good strength coach so that players like Staal, Dubinsky, Prucha, Callahan and others can gain some muscle in the off season.

If that's the case, how has he not been day to day for his entire career? I'm still not impressed. We've owned the Debbies all year. Marek Malik is day to day due to limited mobility?

I figure he only wants $2-2.5 million for the rest of the season, which might barely fit under the cap if they want to push all of Shanny's bonus to next season. I doubt they want to do that, so it would necessitate trading/demoting Malik or Mara, or of course anyone higher paid than them. So with one bad thing comes a good thing. Unfortunately, if nobody is injured, it will also mean demotion of Dawes or trading of Prucha, along with Dubinsky back on the third line. Summary: It all doesn't make sense to me, and I don't believe the Rangers are even on Forsberg's list, especially being in 8th still.

In today's spector's report, Stan fishler last night on the rangers pre-game said he talk to a reliable source stating that the rangers were on the top of his list as one of the teams he wanted to sign with and that the rangers organization was also interested in forsberg. All I can say is of course forsberg has the rangers on top of the list because the rangers love throwing money at over the hill once a super star player.
