    Six wins in a row and 8-2-2 in the last twelve. We didn't need the 1-5 start but this team finally started to mesh and we're seeing some solid results. The PP continues to be a key and a solid weapon this season. Good to see it at the top of the league.

    The difference in board participation between a win and a loss is pretty funny.

    They're looking pretty solid right now. Buchnevich is emerging as our best overall player and is on fire. You can see Lundqvists confidence as the team started to play better D in front of him. Good to see Vesey wasn't seriously injured by the skate.

    People ripping Shattenkirk are morons. Our PP hasn't looked this good since Leetch and Zubov. Still think they need to add a forward with an edge. Graves doesn't seem to be playing well for the Pack. Not surprised. He probably was stunned that moron AV banished him after his great camp. Hmmm. Sounds familiar.

    I'll tell you something else I notice that's greatly improved. The Rangers have finally learned how to pass the puck. Instead of pucks going off sticks and them looking like a bunch of damn fools they seem to be connecting on a very high percentage of their passes.

    And the Blueshirts keep rolling. Hank has been playing much better, Zibad is looking like a steal for Brassard and Buch has beefed up and become a force. Shatt was a great signing, not here to focus on defense, PP now 4th in the NHL. With Smith being scratched regularly wonder if there's some type of deal in the works.

    Their passing is definately alot better since this streak started, which i guess is no coincidence. Kampfer has actually done a good job since getting into the lineup.

    Amazing how this ranger team looks now after the first bunch of games. Offense looks good as Buch has become a force and the PP is currently unbelievable which will come in handy when we play physical teams that take liberties. Now they will actually pay. Hank has been much better of late. Glad to see Nash's hard work and chances finally resulting in some goals. Rangers should package smith with something and bring back the 3rd center they need. Hope they keep this up. Can't remember the last time both rangers and knicks were watchable at the same time.

    Not sure what he can so with Smith. On hand Kampfer is not the answer. On the other hand, I don't want any part of Smith's salary going forward. At 4 million for many teams it isn't a big deal. Here it is with the players that have to be signed.
