Yeah, the Devs have to do what they have to do. Overpay to get players to sign there. Just the way it is for them. Too bad...:).

Let's follow this up with a big effort Wednesday night. I want that W badly. Would make up for the last two games. Nice bounce back after a bad start today. That weak 2nd goal changed the game. I am not a Devil hater, but that is not a good team. Not much scoring talent. And their D is whatever at best. Plus Marty should be a backup now, but he would never allow that. Have to credit DeBoer for getting them to play well above their heads. He is a solid coach.

I want to win Wednesday badly...
 
If I was a goalie in this type of game I'd rather be playing at night. I would think your view of the puck would be better.

Just stop Al. You are reading way too deeply into this. I don't care if it is the Rangers, the Devs, the Kings, the Preds, the Stars on and on. The play in these outdoor games is crappy. The conditions in these outdoor games is crappy.

Stop making this about the Rangers and Ranger fans making excuses, that has NOTHING to do with it at all. It is what it is for these outdoor games.

Marty pulled. Shot to the old ego...LOL.

Have to agree, I've never seen an outdoor game that looked like NHL Hockey.
 
I would think so also Mess. Only question will be the angle of the lights, they don't come down from straight above like they do indoors, but I have to assume that will be okay.

my suggestion would be to stop watching the Las Vegas game the Rangers and the Kings played

As questionable as the conditions are in these outdoor games, THANKFULLY the conditions have gotten MUCH better since then Al...LOL.

Team is also (subtract the St Louis game) pretty fun to watch most nights too

They sure are. When they score a goal, they look to score more. Under Torts, if they scored a goal, they would dig in and try to hang on by trying to block 50 shots a game. It wasn't good hockey, IMO

Pierre is funny. How many people watching a 7-3 game with 2 minutes left don't know Tavares...LOL.

if the games were that terrible the players association would nix them altogether
 
After they went up 3-1, did the Devs have any good chances? Maybe 2 tops. We really shut them down 100% after we fell behind 3-1. Good for us. Keep it up Wednesday.
 
I keep thinking, who's the black player out there, but its Zuccarello with the face shield.
 
I think they get it Al. They want to grow the game and grow the money. They know these outdoor games do that Al. So they suck it up and play in them usually tops once a year for a team. And that is smart. It is far from ideal conditions. It is usually a very choppy game. But they suck it up for the good, and growth, of the game. Good for them I say. Not like it is dangerous. That's not an issue.
 
It will be cool to play a night game outdoors. I will look forward to that Wednesday night. Puck drop at almost 7:45 I bet.
 
50,000 fans. Nearly 3 times the amount of fans as in the Garden. That is why they do this. Just be smart and don't go overboard NHL. 5 MAX please. And even that is a lot.

The NHL wants to attract a wider audience, and the players understand that. These games are all about money, the owners, players and anybody else involved with the game understands that.
 
I like Clowe but he would not fit in in this system. Thank god they did not resign him. He skates like he is in mud.
 
Notice, the Rangers made both the Devils and Islanders the home team. I could be wrong but that gives them 2 extra games at home since playing there is certainly not a road game.
 
There was a tax exemption given by ed Koch that stated msg would be exempt from paying real estate taxes bur their two prime tenants had to play all their home games at MSG losing that exemption would cost Dolan millions of dollars

The Rangers didn't make them the home team, the NHL made the Devs and Isles the home team. The home teams get money from the NHL since they lose a home game. The Rangers would cost the NHL 1 mill more per game if they were the home team, so they are the road team. Plus I think there is some tax reason also the Rangers need to play all their home games in MSG.

Anyway you slice it this is an advantage for us. Worst case these are neutral site games for us, and I'd say we have more fans at these games than the Devs and Isles, so we have 39 real road games instead of 41. That is good for us.
 
Marty is funny. He can never say it is on him. Always an excuse. Guy is an all time great, but has always lacked class IMO. Never credit to anyone else. If the Devs were smart they would be done with him this summer OR tell him you come back and you are the backup...period.
 
On the flip side I like DeBoer a lot. Very solid coach and seems like a real standup guy. That Devs team simply does not have a lot of talent and he keeps them close and in the mix for the playoffs.

He gets a lot out of a roster people didn't think much of.
