We just do not finish. It is truly amazing to me. We could have 3/4 of the net empty, and we shoot back into the goalies pads. Crazy.
It's pretty amazing how many great scoring chance this team gets and either an incredible save or a missed net or a puck in the skates. Mind boggling
That's the Hank the Rangers need for the remainder of the season. He stood tall as the Rangers were getting blitzed. We can only hope this win is the catalyst for much better things in the second half.
Great win by the Rangers to move into 3rd place in the Metro or is it a bad thing because it will hurt their draft spot? Funny how you say you don't judge Chuck after making a judgement about those who don't agree with your assessment of the Rangers (fetal position? in your dreams maybe). I still think this team is better and will continue to improve, 6-3-1 in their last 10 games with mediocre play from Nash (though he's looked better the last 3 games), Stepan & Hank. The defense has had it drilled into their heads for years not to join the play by Torts and now have to adjust to AV's more aggressive style of keeping pucks in the zone and joining the rush. They put a little win 5 game streak together and they're sitting pretty.
The optimistic would say they have gotten bad 1st halfs from Lundqvist, Nash, and Callahan (hurt) and are learning a brand new system but are now 20-14-3 in their last 37 As Lundqvist, Nash and Kreider go, so will the Rangers
Once again you have confused me panzer. I don't give a damn how you or anyone is a fan...how does it affect my life? The reverse is not true though. There re many people on this board who want to judge and knock how someone is a fan, or act as if oh wait you do that...sorry that means you are not a good fan. I think that is comical. I may never ever agree with you or 31, but guess what...you are Ranger fans and I don't sit here and say we disagree, so that means you are not a real fan or not a good fan. To each their own. The issue with the board, and honestly most team boards are this way, is people focus WAY too much on what others say or feel and not nearly enough on the actual team and their own opinion. So it turns into a let's bicker and get into pointless petty arguments for no reason. We are all fans in here otherwise why would we be here. But instead of saying I disagree is what it is, things become oh you feel that we should be sellers, oh my god you are not a real fan and you are terrible. It is comical to me, but what can you do. To each their own. Last night was a very good win, but guess what on that...it has happened before. Then we all feel good, and then they lay an egg the next game or two. And that is why they are a .500 team. We'll all sit here now and feel good about things. Say here comes a good roll with 4 straight at home. Would it really shock anyone if we come out terrible tomorrow night against the Stars or lose 3 of 4 at home? Let me see us take 6 of 8 points at home, which is very doable considering Dall and TB/Detroit should be 4 points, and then I'll say maybe we have turned a corner. We'll see how that goes. And BTW...shout out to MDZ. I think he has played well the past few games, good for him. I think he has a hole in his stick sometimes, but outside of that he has played well recently, and we have needed it. Nicely done by him.
