It says Kreiders cap hit is only 800g so maybe he gets around 2m which is a nice raise. He was on pace for 20g before the injury. That would be nice price for his ability level.
Once again dump...I don't get you. Game 1 - 2-1 Philly. Game 2 - 4-1 NYR. Game 3 - 4-2 Philly. Game 4 - 3-1 NYR. So NOT ONCE did a team score 5 goals let alone 6. The loser in every game had 1 goal...EXCEPT for the game where the losing team had 2 goals. This will a 2-1 or 3-2 type series IMO.
ESPN likes the Rangers. 10-2 in favor of the Rangers. Only Burnside (Flyers in 6) and LeBrun (Flyers in 7) picked the Flyers. Custance and Levy have the Rangers in 5. Strang has the Rangers in 7.
This is one tough series. Philly comes in with "a loose and fun" attitude. They, to a man, really believe they can beat Pens and Canadiens, and can give Boston the best Eastern opponent. They are 'real high'. I'm hoping they are overlooking the Rangers. One thing for sure, how riled does Berube get his players to start bullying the smallish Ranger team? This match will be trash talk & play throughout. Rangers need to focus on playing their game and disregard Philly dirty tactics. Hopefully the assigned refs control the chaos. If Rangers get sucked into retaliation game, they will lose this series.
Yeah, I am sure that will be the Flyers game plan to pound the Rangers every chance they get. I am sure dirty Simmonds and Hartnell will be up to their usual tricks. We need to battle back, but be smart about. Taking stupid penaties will hurt us. It's funny, but AV had the same stance on the end of the Ottawa game that I did: The Ottawa game, there is more time on the clock and we are down by a goal and we get shorthanded on that one. Sometimes, hitting is part of the game and you need to take a hit and suck it up and take care of it at another moment. A 3-2 game when we are down and end up shorthanded, yea we respond with a little pushing and shoving but sometimes you need to be careful there.” He added, “I think every situation is different. Both of those hits, you could say are questionable but hitting is part of the game and we threw some big hits in that game, Benoit Pouliot right in front of our bench drilled one of their guys, hitting is part of the game. “ That was my point at the time. Down 3-2 with little time left simply is not the time to get frustrated and get back at someone. The Flyers will come at us hard here. You know their fighter coach Berube will be telling them pound the Rangers every chance you get. We need to hit back, but not get sucked into their cheap games. Their PP is very good, # 1 on the road, and we need to stay out of the box. Play hard and be smart.
what annoys me is 2 things People always say series will go 7, the rangers can beat the flyers in 5 games, their defense and goalie sucks.....then again so did their goalies when they made it to the cup Also, why are people and writers saying how much tougher the Flyers are than the rangers? Hartnell and Simmonds are cheap shot artists and nothing more
