Game 16 Stars vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

This one should be tough.

 

[faatanqui]

Gustafson got to shoot there…

let’s go rangers

 

[faatanqui]

Miller TO machine

 

[faatanqui]

Missing net on purpose !!!!


1-0

 

[mrmel29]

Good period. Zman and kakko still in comas. What a difference our face offs being good make

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Did I see this correctly Vinny over 60% faceoff wins for the season?

 

[faatanqui]

Kakkooooooooooo

2-0

 

[mrmel29]

And give up a 3 on 1 right back and it’s 3-1. Miller is about as useful as wet toilet paper

 

[Ranger71]

He's sucked royally for awhile now.

 

[faatanqui]

What’s up with Vecey Gretzky ?

 

[faatanqui]

Big challenge here down a goal…

 

[mrmel29]

Don’t know what Igor was doing on that one. Good goal for sure. Meanwhile we’ve had enough good chances to score 6 or 7 goals. Have to finish the plays

 

[faatanqui]

Shesterkin looks lost tonight

 

[Ranger71]

Schneider/Jones are a disaster.

 

[mrmel29]

Jones just too small to move anyone from the front of the net and he doesn’t do enough offensively to be out there. Need some more size back there till fox gets back

 

[mrmel29]

Oh well, not gonna win them all. Burn the tape on this one and move on

 

[Stepupstepan]

This team has overachieved so far. Not sure if they're as good as their record is. Zibaneshit has had his head up his ass all season. His contract is going to look really bad soon. A buyout candidate.

 

[kreidertime]

You would think one of the NY media people would write an article about the corruption in Toronto with Rangers goals for and against. Look up past reviews. This goes back to Dolan calling Parros inept at his job which he is. It's time for the local writers to turn the heat up on Bettman and the corrupt NHL.

 

[PorterPanzer]

I knew all those missed opportunities the first two periods would come back to haunt the Rangers. Igor has to control rebounds and Mika needs glasses so he can see what he's shooting at, Dallas was their toughest challenge so far, have to play 60 minutes of hockey against a team that good. Still think they need to upgrade physically.

 

[faatanqui]

Knew the fun was over when kakko scored!

oh well movin on

let’s start the next run


Go rangers

 

[faatanqui]

Don’t know why some are still so skeptical about us as a team at this point ..

I’m pretty sure we will pick up what we need as we always try too when the time is appropriate.

but so far with what we have, we have a very respectable team that I’m pretty sure our adversaries absolutely respect.

 

[NYR_94]

Agreed. We have beaten good teams so far this season, and last night we had a down game. You aren't winning every game; at some point you will have a down night, no surprise it happened coming off an emotional win against a big division rival. I expect them to come out strong in Pitt tomorrow night. I expect Igor to tighten up also, he has allowed 3 or 4 goals the past two games he usually stops. And Fox could be back after 4 more games.

To me the Rangers needs seem pretty clear. They need a RW to play with Kreider and Zibanejad (I'd love to see Tarasenko added at the trade DL), and they could use another gritty tough guy to play on the 4th line. That's it really, which is not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
