I'll take point. We outplayed them the first period and then just stopped shooting and they've controlled the game since really.
And BTW Mess...I agree with you 100% on Cam. He has been great the past handful of games. Totally proven me wrong...and I couldn't be happier.
Fuck yeah... Shutout number 5 for Cam... Brass can't hit an open net but dam son he blew one by Crawford.. Great road win... Next up Icelanders.. Come on boys take charge and beat the shit out of the pretenders
Big win tonight fellas. That is playoff hockey. And BTW...we controlled the 1st, they controlled the 2nd, 3rd was pretty even but if there was an edge it was edge us as we outshot them 14-8. 4 PP's for them and our PK was great. 2 PP's for us and our PP was bad. I will say two things...1. we need to get the PP going. 2. Yandle does need to shoot more. Not a knock per se, needs to get comfortable, but Step was right on that one.
No doubt Sheppard is an upgrade. Better than Glass and Stemp for sure. So far we have 5 points in this tough 6 game stretch with two games left. Let's see if we can get a few more. I have to say it again, tip of the cap to Cam. He struggled early as the starter, but since he has settled in and gotten comfortable he has been very good. Full credit to him. Good for him and for us.
He does struggle with hitting the net and scoring on open nets...LOL. He does have a very good shot though. BTW...how good is Kreider right now. He is all over the ice and involved in almost everything we do that is positive. I would put him on the 1st PP unit and drop MSL down.
We nee someone on the pp to go in front and screen the goalie. And it can't be Nash. Nash needs to be on the side boards opening up the defense. Kreider is perfect for that role.
That's the downside of having a smallish team, you don't have enough netfront guys, though Kreider does a decent job. I wonder if Sheppard can play a little in that role.
Good, solid win in boring game on the road against one of the best teams. I will take it. Yandle is already allergic to shooting...LOL Welcome to the Rangers PP.
