Shattenkirk on Trotz comments:
“It doesn’t sit well with you. It’s nothing that you enjoy hearing,” said Shattenkirk, 28, who has primarily played on the Rangers’ second pairing, “but I think there’s a lot of people who probably think that about me, and I like to use that in my favor and something to boost me to prove people wrong.”
5 point night coming! I hope.
Lindy Ruff has apparently done a magnificent job getting us ready to play his former club.
Second career goal, first this year. Healthy scratch last game so he’s “fresh” tonight. There wasn’t a single Ranger on his side of the ice when he got the puck and scored. Vesey and McD were both on the ice and seemed caught out of position. This just after killing two overlapping penalties with 50 seconds of 5-on-3.
That's about all I got for tonight. Brutal performance. After a really strong effort Saturday. This group just doesn't make sense sometimes.
I won't hold my breath but the league really needs to refine this rule. If the goalie needs more space then expand the blue paint area but as far as I'm concerned if he's outside the blue paint it's not the forwards problem if he's jnterfered with unless it's a 'holding' or 'roughing' call or whatever
Still don't understand how Nash interfered with floridas goalie a few weeks back
Pavelec should start Wednesday - give him a few games, let Lundqvist rest.
