NFT: LA Kings @ NY Rangers - 7pm - Keep the Momentum

MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 12:12 pm
Rangers take their 2 game win streak and 7-1 record on the second half of back-to-backs into tonight to face the struggling, but still dangerous, and still fresh in our 2014 minds, Los Angeles Kings.

The King expected to be in net, no word yet on #13s 'lower body injury' - but Puempel will likely step in tonight for Purple Hayes.

The team, and Lundqvist, have been much better on the road than at MSG and so we need to get out of this Garden funk tonight (5-8-1 last 14). I'll be there and at 0-3-1 on the season I will be demanding better.

Of course, it goes without saying that Washington, Pittsburgh and Columbus continue to win every night so let's keep pace, understanding a WC-1 wouldn't be the end of the world. But for now, just keep accumulating points.

Hank's home/road split is so huge

that you have to wonder if it is not just statistical noise, and that something is going on. Maybe off ice stuff creeps up at home (his home, or the Ds). E.g. partying, significant other/child issues. Or maybe there is an issue at MSG -- Tim Thomas used to complain about the lighting at MSG, which is dimmer than other arenas.

Well that blows... but at least the all-star break came at a good time then.

That lighting issue was pre-renovation on the Garden. Think its better since.
Sucks on Hayes  
bigbluehoya : 1/23/2017 1:09 pm : link
I guess what, 3 games, with our full top-9 was just too much for the gods.

That is a shame, he's really bounced back this year.
Kings always play us tough, especially at MSG  
NYerInMA : 1/23/2017 5:56 pm : link
even though they're beat up and struggling, I expect a close game. LGR!

It'll come down to Dwight King
Whelp  
B in ALB : 1/23/2017 6:42 pm : link
might as well chalk this up as a loss now what Tannak has posted. Thanks a lot.
Hank looking very good.

Nice save by Lundqvist

Ugggggly period  
MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 7:52 pm : link
Shocking that we have this lead. The power play is lost (broken record with this franchise haha)

And I've got too huge kings fans sitting behind me tonight shouting everyone's first names as they have the puck in our zone. Fuck this!

Too soon, dick.
Dope pass by DG

On what planet is that a dive?  
MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 8:32 pm : link
?
Great play by Girardi!  
Kyle in NY : 1/23/2017 8:33 pm : link
Defense creating offense. Stephan having an excellent season too
*Stepan  
Kyle in NY : 1/23/2017 8:34 pm : link
I'm spelling like Hudson/rover
On a play like that  
bigbluehoya : 1/23/2017 8:35 pm : link
He either got tripped, or he dove. Don't see how it's both.

Also, when have you ever seen a player who is embellishing trying to make a centering pass out of mid-air?
Rangers in serious trouble here

Annnnd back to playing  
bigbluehoya : 1/23/2017 8:40 pm : link
Like sleds on defense
WTF are they doing?  
NYerInMA : 1/23/2017 8:40 pm : link
Give the King some help you fools!
Well kings got their pressure and eventually goal  
MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 8:41 pm : link
On a linesman not getting skate up on a clear from 30 feet out. Shit is tiring. Same thing happened against Blackhawks last month.
Defenseman suck  
Giants2012 : 1/23/2017 8:41 pm : link
Help the goalie
Nolan hadn't scored in 23 games  
NYerInMA : 1/23/2017 8:41 pm : link
so of course he scores against us.
Why are there two linesmen on ice  
MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 8:43 pm : link
When any important call they make gets reviewed anyway?
Sick of this shit. First a bullshit dive call and then that??
Not playing well on D  
Kyle in NY : 1/23/2017 8:45 pm : link
but the Kings are one of the best possession teams in the league. No regular skater with a CF% below 50. They just don't translate much of that possession into many goals
And every time I watch the Kings play the last 3 years  
MetsAreBack : 1/23/2017 8:47 pm : link
I come away thinking they are a juggernaut and here they sit next to last in their division at 20-26. I guess it's just an awful matchup for us.

Kings skate  
Giants2012 : 1/23/2017 8:49 pm : link
like a team of linebackers pounding opponents.
What the hell are these refs watching  
B in ALB : 1/23/2017 9:04 pm : link
Out there? Just like the SCF - Kings get away with tons of bullshit.
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE  
bigbluehoya : 1/23/2017 9:06 pm : link
That is just a complete farse
Are you kidding me with that fucking call?  
arcarsenal : 1/23/2017 9:07 pm : link
Holy shit.
I see the refs are picking up where they left off in 2014...  
Anakim : 1/23/2017 9:07 pm : link

That is disgraceful

as usual.
That was a hold?

What a fucking joke. That official should lose his job for being an absolute moron.
Zucc finally scores!!!!

Like most, they can dish it out but they can't take it.
Kings offensive game plan  
B in ALB : 1/23/2017 9:30 pm : link
Shoot and then try to tackle Lunqvist.
Nice win  
bxgiants4 : 1/23/2017 9:34 pm : link
King back to his old self...
Henrik looks like he's Henrik again  
dpinzow : 1/23/2017 9:36 pm : link
VERY encouraging. The Kings besieged the Rangers for most of this game and Lundqvist was a brick wall
Eh whatever  
B in ALB : 1/23/2017 9:36 pm : link
Still a great game by Hank.

#1 star - 30

#2 - MAB

#3 - Zucc.
Always nice to beat LA
