Isles taking a stand as the best of the Metro Division and they are the new force of NY hockey...................after decades of lousy, non-playoff teams. After all these years, they are now on a level hockey rink with the Rangers. They are young, big and talented and now they are boasting their success...............and the rivalry is renewed. They are looking down on the Rangers and they want to keep them there. Rangers may have different thoughts.
This is the typical flat performance after a long trip (or far trip out West). Not surprised thus far. Need to get our legs going.
Well it's a one goal game so we can't say it's over yet but it just seems like one of those games they have one they just don't play well
Because games like this are SC games to the Isles and Devs. They get up way more than we do for these games. I don't think that is the issue tonight though, I just don't think we have our usual jump. Coming bac from out West always plays a role in these types of games. We have seen it 100 times before in hockey. We either step up our game or we'll get run out of here.
I do agree with you chuck That the isles play like it's game seven but there's no excuse why the Rangers shouldn't play like it's game seven either, every game counts
