NFT: Rangers v Habs

?

always gives the Rangers problems. Good thing they only did it for half a game last time they played. Will be a tough test, but I think the Rangers will pull through.

.

...he worked hard last night but he's a young guy.

Side notes Nieves returned to Hartford. Neither he nor Lias doing much at 4C so far this season. Rumor that an Anderson-Puljujarvi deal was discussed with the oilers but no traction yet there.

A little anxious, not that this is to be blamed.Rangers alert, too.

1-0

you just saw them a week ago. Weak defensively, spotty in net (so far). they are a speed/forecheck team. If they're on, they're tough to play against. if they're bad they're about as bad as it gets. fringe playoff team.

they're down 3 top 9 forwards (Drouin, Byron, and Kotkaniemi) and 1 top 4 D (Mete) - so injuries impacting them a little 5v5 and with specials since all 4 players have a role on specials.

Habs lack the elite talent the Rangers have (Panarin, Zib,) but might be deeper up front.

Gallagher is MTL best player, so that should tell you all you need to know. and that's not a knock on Gallagher.

Seems he never even saw the crossbar shot. Fortunate!

...not enough offense for the rangers. Outshot as usual 11-8.

Outskating them, too.

plays like he thinks he's Tie Domi.

it's fun to watch sometimes when he's on your team if he didn't smile so much, but with him and Gallagher they must drive other teams crazy. they're both small, pesky players.

have been toxic

a faceoff

Always a bad sign.

....

A beauty!

1-1

. Horrible giveaway by D'Angelo 2nd or 3rd

For what? By whom?

Still tied 1-1

Lemieux draws INT call

Rangers got it for tripping that didn't happen. .
Then great work by and in front of Grigoriev.

Meant Non-Call )

last few games but KK had been an effective two way player

Rangers PP again.

this Rangers team can pass

Rangers outshot montreal in the 2nd aided by two PP's.

Than some others for the Rangers.But no net!

watching the Giants doesn't look like football, so I'm not watching it much, and watching the Knicks doesn't look like basketball, so I'm not watching that much either. But I turn on the Rangers and it sure looks like hockey, even if there are flaws with the team and they're borderline playoffs.

LOL

In my case some (Giants only), but without enthusiasm. But Rangers hockey is terrific. Well, more often than you'd think this year.

D'Angelo play wing on a fourth line? He sucks on D.

but haven't broken through. Still 1-1 5 mins left in reg.

Weak defense as that developed: goal Habs and the lead.

1 min left

just couldnt score.

Minute to go and they screw around with not pulling the trigger.
Nuts!

Let Thompson walk in

.....

that goal again, no idea what Lindgren was looking at. Let Thompson get past him for the rebound.

Lucky for the habs, they do not match up well right now 3v3 - especially with a team with Panarin.

good bounce back for Price.

and Buch totalled one SOG

Lindgren has played real well but blew that coverage. D'Angelo's defense is just not good for all his offensive contributions.

Always heartbreaking when you give up the GWG in the last couple of minutes. They need to take fucking shots.

even understanding situations...20s left, you're really gonna pass back and forth for 15s w/o 1 SOG? Insanity

Both teams could have won in their own rink instead. Weird...
