Back to back vs one of the worst

[kreidertime]

Not impressive to say the least during regulation. Kreider with another useless game. Guy just doesn't get it. Wasting his talent.

LOL...you are on fire tonight dump.

That's what good teams do. Newsflash you won't have A game every night, but good teams find ways to get wins even when they don't have their best...and we did exactly that tonight. We'll win tomorrow for sure IMO, expect Cam in goal, and then we'll have a big game against the Caps at MSG Tuesday night.

I'm expecting something like a 5-1 win tomorrow night. Then get ready for what's a big game against Washington.

 

[chuckd3534]

I agree...I'd be shocked if we don't win pretty easy tomorrow night (even though it is rare things are easy in hockey). Big game Tuesday night...I agree. Looking forward to that one. Hopefully the team isn't looking ahead.

 

[chuckd3534]

BTW...I have this sneaky feeling we could be battling the Isles for playoff positioning all season. Could be a 2/3 Met matchup (we'll see if the Caps stick around).

 

[chuckd3534]

EJ just said bad call and talked about the rule. That disallowed goal was comical...but we overcame it thankfully.

The next six games are winnable for the Rangers before they go on a tough west trip in the New Year. Not to be greedy but would like to see at least five of the next six.

Fellas, You ARE talking about the Rangers. Since when is anything
this team does is........ e a s y. Hypocrisy! LOL

 

[chuckd3534]

Carolina, NJ, Buff at home should be W's. Wash, at Dallas, at Florida aren't easy. Maybe 8 or 9 of 12 points would make me happy.

 

[Stepupstepan]

dump, are you serious with Kreider? Yes, he did not score but he still set up a game tying goal. I do agree he loafs around on some shifts. He has to play with more urgency.

I feel they got the bad one out of the way against Carolina tonight. Plus, Ward stood on his head in this one. I think at MSG they get some in the net.

He needs to go strong to the net consistently and stop trying to be the finese player he isn't.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yep, thats his issue. He plays way too much on the perimeter. It is time for Adam Graves to have a talk with him. LOL

He seems to be afraid to crash the goalie.

 

[kreidertime]

Kreider should be a dominant player. He's not in the regular season. Guy has a 5 cent brain on how to use his talent. Right now, J.T. Miller is a better forward. The move Miller made on the breakaway is a move that Kreider's brain couldn't figure out how to use in a 100 years.

 

[Ranger71]

That Klein trade is turning out to be right up there with the McD deal as his best since being here. Far and away their best dman this year. Great he'll be around a few years.

 

[chuckd3534]

I miss MDZ....

 

[kreidertime]

The Boyle signing is looking unbelievably bad. Considering he only has one year left on his deal, Sather might be able to move him with a prospect. I don't know why they benched Moore for Hunwick. They should be benching Boyle.

 

[Ranger71]

I'm starting to be a little disappointed with Boyle, but i think he may get better in the 2nd half of the year, as perhaps the injury time is still affecting him. Having him on the pp is still a bonus he just needs to find shooting lanes, he's too unselfish.

 

[chuckd3534]

No doubt Boyle has struggled, and he knows it. Really comes down to two things:

1. Are his struggles due to getting injured and then sick and missing a lot of games, so his timing isn't there?
OR
2. Are his struggles due to getting old and losing his game?

Obviously we hope it is # 1. We'll see as the season progresses.

 

[Ranger71]

The pp as a whole has been putrid, as they still don't have anyone who can regularly gain the zone and setup without dumping it in.
That could be their downfall though they seem to battle through it in the playoffs to a point, until they face a team like LA.

 

[cagedlion]

He's playing to the refs. Not good. I'd wish he'd just
play his game.....power.

Boyle claims that Sather did not hire him for December,
but for the playoffs. Considering how little he's been effective,
he sure thinks he's worth it. Who is he trying to convince?

 

[panzerporter]

Sather didn't sign Boyle to be an assistless turnover machine in December either. I liked the signing thinking Boyle would add that desperately needed shot on the PP but he seems to shy away from shooting the puck. Very rare for a guy to just turn it on and start scoring. I agree J. Moore brings much more to the table than Hunwick.
