we get it you hate the guy. but deal with it. if you really are a true fan as you proclaim you’ll actually be happy when drury scores.

he is playing much better now and should be around as captain for 4 yrs. would love to see him lift the cup as our captain during those years. i suspect you don’t. you would rather be right.

Drury had a good game again (although Weekes probably should have stopped that slapper).

Dubinsky won a fight! (glad to hear he’s OK that looked like it hurt when the back of his head hit the ice).

King is king

Z is impressing me more (making better decisions) and I want this kid wearing Ranger blue for a long time if that’s possible.

1st period was hard to watch they were playing like absolute pig slop. Great comeback after playing like a bunch of no-talent scrubs for an entire period.

He is a player that makes others around him better (he’s a GREAT passer) and thrives when he has playmakers playing along side him. I was hoping to see him on a line with Gomez since I think they’d really feed off each other but I think Renny is on to something with the Dubi-Voros-Z line.

No one in C-Bus was happy to see him go, Backmann has been absolutly awful and the Jackets defense has been worse since the trade. The way Z has responded to Renny’s coaching and to the players around him is a testament to how poor CBJ managment is and how they mishandled this kid. I’m glad to see him thrive and be on a stage where he can be appreciated.

If you haven’t seen his C-Bus highlights, including his coast-coast goal with less than a minute left, YouTube them ASAP.

...also I hope this mean they resign him (he’s a free agent after this year I think) considering I bought a Z Jersey last month.

Anybody catch Chico drop the F bomb in the final minutes? He tried to say puck but he said, well you know. What about that drunk Daneyko whining about the Salvador cross check and saying it’s the worst officiating he’s ever seen? I’ll agree that it was pretty bad but how about trying to be just a little impartial. The Drury goal was just a normal softie for Weekes. He’s good for 1 a game, at least. Anybody bashing Drury, how about the little poke at the puck to get it to Z for an open netter?

I can’t believe there is actually bitching about Drury’s goal. Watch the replay, the other Rangers are covered by the D-men. There was no other play but the shot. And he scored!

Get over your Drury hate, he’s going to be here for a while.

Here are a few questions: That 2nd period was our best period of the season I think. What did Renney say after the 1st? Where the F is that effort on other nights? How come we cannot play 60 like that? Can we just play the Devils for 82 games? More questions than answers from the game last night.

Who else wants to kill Chico Resch? I mean I watched a lot of the game last night with the sound off. When I was listening, during the PP, Salvador’s cross-check looked like it broke Cally’s ribs and Chico says, “I didn’t see much.” Korpi’s goal was his 2nd NHL goal. At the end of the game I turned on the sound and heard “Let’s Go Rangers,” and Chico is whining how awful it is and every Devil fan left the stadium and then like a total dope says, “I would leave too.” That guy is the worst!

Korpi Dawes Fritsche actually looked like they could play hockey. First, was this line clicking that well or were the Devs really playing that poorly? Sorry Prucha, those 3 playing like they did just doesn’t bode well for you. I like Korpi. He should get a bigger chance.

Please no one start saying get rid of Gomer just because the team broke out last night. That would just be foolish (both the idea and the person who makes the comment).

Can someone tell me why Langenbrunner didn’t get a penalty for jumping in when Orr and White had their shoving match? I thought the refs were trying to even things out as the Rangers were outplaying them and earning penalties while the Devs were sucking and being given leeway by the refs. Just one guy’s view.

How come the Devils pull all this crosschecking, slashing, hacking crap (esp after the whistle) and all of them wear face shields? Does anyone else find that to be bush league?

A nice win. They dominated despite playing a sloppy 1st period. Let’s see if we can string together a few wins.
