Expect another crazy game. Okposo back in Isle lineup. Rangers need to better their PP. If they cannot score PP vs Isles, they will lose. One thing for sure.......THE JOINT WILL BE JUMPIN.
No idea which team wins tonight. I truly can see either team winning. All I will say is I think it will be lower scoring than the last game. Maybe 4-2 or something like that. Both teams get from 2 to 4 goals.
I think we have two givens against the Isles. We have to get off to an awful start and Cam has to let in a soft goal. Staal and Boyle watching Lee score that goal. Terrible start, wake up guys.
Not sure the Isles had a bunch of good chances, but we had almost none. And the puck was in our end the whole period pretty much. On the Isles goal it was sad that Lee had a chance, poke checked away by Cam, Lee falls to the ice, gets back up and still gets to the puck in front of Staal, then scores on a weak wrap around that Cam should have stopped. Weak stuff by Staal and stoppable goal for Cam. Hopefully they get their game together. If you don't get any chances on Halak you can't score and allow him to let in some weak goals.
Crazy as it sounds Mess, we came out flat. I don't think there was anything hard or passionate about our game in the 1st. Have to think AV will have them fired up for the 2nd.
Yandle has played 11 periods Step, if he hasn't done it by now he never will...I agree. Much better period obviously. The last 8 minutes the Isles found their game again though, that concerns me for the 3rd. Hopefully we get our energy back up for a big 3rd. We should be the fresher team. Amazing goal by Hayes for sure. Kid has size and skill. Going to be a very good player for us in years to come.
