Very frustrating last 2 games, it's time to take it the fuck out on Jints.
Honestly, this shit happens though. I was extremely annoyed after the game Thursday but it's a long season and there are going to be lulls and times where the puck just doesn't bounce our way. We didn't play poorly. We just could't get the damn puck past.
Carolina sucks but they haven't played terribly lately so this isn't a gimmie even at home.
I'd love to tell you that Miller is back in for Glass but I'm sure the Glassman will continue to keep his spot.
Talbot will probably get one of these next couple games. We'll see if Hank is back out there tonight.
No fucking bullshit tonight. Get a fucking win. Suck it, Jints.
I don't think it is a matter of him being a 13th forward/top six forward. It is a matter of him really being a top six talent that the coaches feel needs some education. An occasional game or two in the press box isn't the worst thing. My guess is he'll dress every game in the playoffs unless he's truly playing badly.
2) he deserves to be dropped to 3rd line given his recent play
Cant blame AV for shaking things up here. We've not looked good offensively since California (did score 5 in Pittsburgh I guess, but MAF sucks)
Yeah right. He sucks used tampon.
GOAL!!!
Couldn't agree more. There are however some detractors on this board who think he should be a 30 goal scorer because of the number of chances he gets. He just doesn't have the hands that can match his speed but as you pointed out he does so many other things at such a high level.
Another pain in the ass team on Monday in Florida. Will have to jump on them early and grind it out.
My heart stopped for a minute there. Hank is a tough SOB. And he was brilliant tonight
I was unimpressed with him last year and early this year, but I've noticed him having a real impact of late
A win is a win, B. But Arc chose Carolina at home as his coming out party.... way to challenge yourself, Arc.
Echo the comments above on Hagelin. I'd be shocked if he were the one moved this offseason though. MSL now has 15 goals in 67 regular season games as a Ranger, and he turns 40 in June. Wouldn't be surprised if we parted ways at year end and kept the younger guys.
Also, I agree about Fast. He's a really good bottom 6 forward. He doesn't pop up on the stat sheets a lot but he does a lot of things well and is especially good in our end. I felt the same way about him last year.. I wasn't sure what AV was seeing but now that he's a regular, I get it.
Pretty confident that's never going to happen with Glass, but.. C'est La Vie...
Go Blues!
Pittsburgh getting hammered as arc mentioned. Its tough to judge at the moment with Malkin out. I'm just generally not in awe of them anymore... and clearly no relevant team in the metro is either. Everyone - from WAS to us to NYI to CBJ - has had a lot of success vs them this year.
