I don't think either of them looked like they belonged where they were. I got excited when Dawes got the puck and Sam was able to actually call his name yesterday...then he was either checked off it rather easily, or gave it away. I think that could be a hole for us right now. 2nd line wing. They play opposite sides, but if nothing changes, you may have to make a switch. I'm not ready to 'bash' anyone yet. Its not the ideal situation to start a season, so everyone gets some slack. But not a lot. Totally right. I don’t think either of them looked like they belonged where they were.

Line 2...who you would change? 3 rd? why do I think Dawes and Prucha are the 2 changes? I actually cant remember the lines now LOL... Beer,

I can't remember a Rangers team dominating play like that. Changing lines and keeping the puck in the offensive zone was impressive. I know it's vs Tampa and it's only 2 games, but maybe we've got something going. Of course, if Lundqvist doesn't make a couple of key saves early, the road trip could have been a disaster. A nice way to start. Who was that team diguised as the Rangers in the 2nd period? I can’t remember a Rangers team dominating play like that.

I can't get onto hockeyfights.com while in the office, but will have a look later - good one Strudsy! Did he do a Gordie Howe hat-trick? Looking forward to the next games to see if we are really good, or if Tampa are bad, or both? Apparently Struds also kicked some guys butt!

DALLAS - Jason Strudwick's tiebreaking goal early in the third period lifted the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday night in the pre-season finale for both teams. With the game even at two, Strudwick's shot from just inside the blue-line got past goalie Marty Turco, who was screened at 5:47. ...... haha

If Dawes wasn't going to show up in the games, he shouldn't have even made the trip. Not very impressive from Prucha's side either. Orr looks much better than last year, and last year he looked better than the year before. That's great to see that someone heeds the advice of the training staff. I thought betts looked like he was skating to keep his job. And so far, I think there's no reason he shouldn't. #1 line...is finally a real #1 line. #2 line...might need a tweak on the wing. #3 line...same. #4 line...Don't see any reason for Orr and Voros to both play 82. The depth there could come in handy. Defense looked fine. Thought Rozy dissapeared at one point though. I forgot all about him. Mara seemed to get involved in the play pretty regularly. The D gave our offense a whole new look. I love it. All in all, it was great to get the 4 pts that were out there to be had. Tough to 'get up' and play 2 games that count with so much surrounding them. Nice job boys. I was going to say something very similar UK.
