Love how they put the crap Devils on MSG 2. Dolan is such a piece of shit. He should be sucking off the Rangers since they are the only good team he has. You really see the losses of Nash, Zibanejad and Buchnevich against the top teams. It really hurts in games like this. Said it for weeks now. Bring Graves up, bench Giriardi or Klein. It would also be a great time to get Girgensons from Buffalo. They are doing their best to ruin that kid. He is so much better than his season because the Sabres are retarded. I've been a Fast supporter but I would move him, Hrivik and Klein in a deal for Girgensons and Kulikov. I think the money works. Kulikov is a UFA. Don't get any sense he will sign with the Sabres. I think Girgensons would flourish here. I can't see the Sabres not doing this deal. Essentially, they have made it clear that they won't use Girgensons as any more than a checking forward.
They need to seriously consider keeping Clendening in once Staal comes back. Need that offensive element even with his poor defense. Klein isn't any better right now.
The radio broadcast call of the Rangers' 5th goal was hilarious.....Don LaGreca got stepped on again by a screaming Maloney.....that one will get played all next week on the MKS.
Love when Valischmucks points out Bobrovsky wasn't in goal but fails to mention the Rangers are missing 4 of their starters. Clendening is lame defensively most of the time but the way Klein and Girardi play, he's actually better than they are and adds a huge plus to the offense. I agree, it's time to give the kid a starting job. I also think it's time they move Klein. Package him with Hrivik and see what you can get. The announcers gush way too much over Fast. I thought he was a bumbling idiot with his offensive chances last night.
They should've sold high on Klein. He has looked dead since game one. I thought he would break out of this by now. Probably hoping against hope but maybe the time off helps him.
Great win last night. Did NOT think they'd pull that off. As for Klein, I'd give him and Girardi some seat time and play Clendening for a bit and see what he's capable of when given a REAL chance and not one game out of six. Also, any chance we think of selling high on Holden and learn from the Klein error? Just something I've been wondering about lately. Get a decent return on Holden if possible and then bring up Graves, and go from there. If no decent return then just keep him.
Best road team in the NHL keeps doing what they do best. Great game! I agree with trading Fast, very good defensive/special teams player but zero offensive skills. I'd love to see Graves and Clendenning playing over Staal/Girardi too but no way it happens unless there are injuries.
There's no way you can do that. For all the still abuse he took early Holden has been fantastic for this team. With Klein and Girardi struggling you cannot trade Holden. Especially if the plan would be to replace him with an unknown quantity in Graves.
The screaming on that goal reminded me a little of that cal football game when the winning td was run thru the band which thinking the game was over came onto the field. Great ranger call though!!
