    Talk about cramming games into a NHL schedule. Tonight will be Rangers 20th game.......the first of a
    away and home with the Stanley Cup Champs, Pittsburgh Penguins. Rangers are coming into this game
    undermanned. Let's hope the reserves can keep the ship afloat.
    Here's to the Rangers to snap this short losing streak in a building that's seldom
    nice to visitors.

    Klein is a mess this year. They need another offensive dman badly.

    The Rangers are "turn over" city. Playing very carelessly. Already down 2-0. Only good thing is
    this score could be worse.

    Nice comeback but an awful job clearing the puck tonight.

    Hey, very nice comeback against these guys. Whatever happened between the first and second periods
    should be the Rangers' mantra. They looked more determined.

    Enormous win. Every win with Zibanejad out is big. He's a huge loss. A win vs one of our top conference rivals on the road is always impressive. Hayes has really matured. So has Miller.

    Rangers don't need another offensive defenseman. That's the last thing they need. The offense has been loaded up front. What they need is one more, fast skating defenseman that can shut down good forwards. Considering some of the young defenseman in the system and their cap, I don't expect them to add any defenseman.

    Yeah i guess that's part of what i meant, a quick skating dman to help against forwards. It would help if he had some puck moving/pp ability. I've heard Wideman mentioned.
