Get a point (or two) tonight and lock up the playoff spot. Two weeks to go...! This godawful long regular season is almost over.
8.5 million goalie is back to being a mediocre goalie again. I guess 8.5 million needs some games under his belt to get his game back.
Raanta is as good as Talbot if not better. The defense is just horrific in this system and gets exposed especially when playing big and fast skilled teams. Good to see Stepan is back finally.
I still need to try those In-N-Out burgers. Skjei may end up being one of the best players taken in that 2012 draft. What a pass to J.T.
I haven't had them either. Got a point and it's official. I'd like to see Lundqvist rack up a few more wins and move up the list before the playoffs.
I know it is 4 on 3 but with this kind of goaltending and defense you cannot win in the playoffs. Oh well I guess they are in the playoffs again.
Red Wings out of the playoffs for the first time since the 1989-1990 season. That's crazy. The top three streaks are now Pittsburgh who last missed in 2005-2006, Chicago 2007-2008 and the Rangers 2009-2010.
Said a month ago that Raanta might take over in the playoffs. I give Lundqvist 1 game. If he sucks, I go back to Raanta for the playoffs. Skjei has a chance be a superstar. Minnesota was completely incompetent developing his offense. If he can improve his slapper, you have an elite defenseman on your hands.
Cant expect 8.5 million to be the same goalie from three years ago especially now with this atrocious defense and the head guy's weak defensive system.
Thank God Skjei got a chance at the end of last year after Boyle was hurt. I think he's already established himself as a top 4. Would have been nice to see Graves get the same opportunity but guess we'll have to wait until next year. Any other team in the playoffs or in playoff contention with a prospect like Graves would have given him a look by now. At least if Hank can't get it going there's a viable plan B. The Rangers need to play smart and stay out of the box because their PK stinks.
Unless something very strange happens. Tough match up but honestly with the current playoff format nobody has it easy. The Pens and Blue Jackets playing in the first round is brutal.
