I don't appreciate you abandoning the format with just 5 games left. This lack of attention to detail or intentional dereliction of duty is disappointing.
Roslovic and Gust healthy scratches tonight, Rempe and Jones in. Vesey moved up to play with CK and Z.
lol Laf really wants to get paid for his next contract. The kid plays with such swagger and confidence.
Joe says Montreal has been out played badly, but it doesn’t seem like it the Rangers haven’t done shit in this period.
I agree with you. Fair or unfair, I have almost zero confidence in the Rangers in their own zone. Whether it is a turnover or a guy wide open, I have little faith. If they don't improve and tighten up, they will not be long for the playoffs. Need to get this win tonight or it is a wide-open battle again for top spot in the East and the Met. The Canes are winning easy these days with SO's in 3 of their past 5 games. Huge game for them, us, and the Bruins on Tuesday night with the Canes in Boston.
Zibanejad simply refuses to shoot. I truly wish Zibanejad and Fox would watch Panarin this season and follow his lead. He has become a shoot first player, and Z and Fox are shoot fifth players. They would be so much more dangerous if they ever looked to shoot more often, it would shock the goalie, and would make them so much more of a threat.
Honestly, if other teams figure out how to shut down Panarin's line, I don't trust that the rangers will score a lot of goals in the playoffs.
True to form, Zibanejad scores off a skate while passing of course, then comes down on the wing all alone...and wait for it...passes to no one. The guy just will not shoot the damn puck, and it is so infuriating. At some point some coach has to tell him shoot the puck Mika, please. Montreal draws a penalty late 3rd after 4 turnovers by the Rangers in their own zone, we'll see if they kill it off in the 3rd. Go win the 3rd period and move on.
Unless it is on the PP, I agree. And it gets compounded because Zibanejad does not shoot at even strength.
and if they don't get a lot of power plays, we'll see a lot of low scoring games like this one tonight against this garbage team.
The Rangers have been finding ways to win, but outside of the Colorado game I have not liked the way have played in their past 7 games, including this game, at all.
Jesus christ you are a huge Debbie downer...they are leading the entire league and all you do is bitch and moan
