Best Team in the NHL vs Florida

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Trying to add on to an impressive season so far. Let's go rangers!

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Dan Boyle's wife is hot

This will be a tough game. Florida playing for their lives. We aren't going to win every game. So far it has played out that way.

 

[chuckd3534]

Solid period. Some sloppy play in our own zone, but mostly solid stuff. Wish the PP wasn't awful, but on the flip side the PK has been great.

Nice goal by Sheppard going to the net.

This will be a hard fought game. Keep doing what we are doing and be quick on the puck, because the Panthers are coming hard.

 

[Messiah717]

Rangers look tired.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

One issue I have with AV is he doesn't use his time out other than desperation end of game time. I would have liked to see him use it during this period as there was a big wave by the panthers. We are lucky to be out of the period (lucky because cam is playing great) still up a goal.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Ok we need new Geico hockey commercials. The San Jose check is hot but enough already.

 

[Stepupstepan]

They haven't been scoring a lot of goals lately and the games have been boring as fuck.

 

[chuckd3534]

I am pretty sure the Panthers have a D zone, but I could be wrong...LOL.

 

[chuckd3534]

And yet they keep winning Step and you keep knocking them every game thread. The circle of life....

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

I hate winning

 

[Stepupstepan]

I am about to go and take a nap. Let me know how the game ends.

 

[cagedlion]

Expected a letdown. They have played a tough
series of games. Go red, white and blue.

 

[chuckd3534]

We will Step. Expect a Ranger win though...LOL. Keep complaning please, it is good luck.

BTW...you think AV realizes whenever Glass is out the 4th line plays well and scores goals...no I am crazy....

 

[Messiah717]

Great St. Louis hurt now. In reading lips I thought he told Ramsey his knee popped.

 

[Messiah717]

Talbot continues to be unreal. This has been some season. I just hope injuries don't pile up.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Hopefully MSL is not hurt seriously.

 

[chuckd3534]

Excellent win. Team keeps finding ways to win. That is what great teams do, win when they don't have their best. We did that tonight for sure.

The 14 games left in the regular season don't mean that much now. We play decent hockey in those games and we win the Met. That simple. The numbers are WAY in our favor now.

Just be healthy for the playoffs. That is all I care about. All that matters now IMO.

 

[Stepupstepan]

You don't care about the president's trophy, chuck?

 

[cagedlion]

Injuries will ruin Rangers chances in
playoffs.

 

[Messiah717]

The only negative right now is that the PP continues to plummet and has dropped to 20th in the league.

 

[chuckd3534]

Couldn't care less about the Pres trophy. Just be healthy for the playoffs, all I care about. The Met is just about ours now. Home ice rounds 1 and 2 at least. From there the rest is gravy.

Every team has injuries, go look at the Isles (lost Okposo and Leddy), and the Pens (lost Malkin and Cindy and a bunch of dmen), TB just lost 3 guys for a little while.

Where we are now, being healthy for the playoffs is the ONLY thing I care about.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I highly doubt we will see MSL for the rest of the regular season. I would just rest two old farts MSL and Boyle at this point. Call up Lindberg and McIlrath.

 

[chuckd3534]

You are funny Step. I will leave it at that.

 

[chuckd3534]

AV just said MSL's injury doesn't seem serious. We are off until Wednesday, so hopefully he is good to go.

 

[Stepupstepan]

You said that they pretty much have won the division now so why not give both some rest before the playoffs. Both are not in their prime years, you know.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Lindberg and Mci would inject some energy. The team has looked tired lately especially some top players.

 

[Disturbed]

The knee injury didn't look good so that's good news from AV. I expect big things from Marty in playoffs cant lose him.

 

[chuckd3534]

I have no issue giving some guys a game off here and there. I think we will the last 5 games or so.

As for MSL, who knows. You never really know for sure until they do an MRI or say one is not needed, but AV did say in his presser it didn't look serious. On NBCSN Jones said it didn't look good, so again who knows. But I will trust the coach when he says he didn't think it was serious.

 

[chuckd3534]

8:20PM: Alain Vigneault said, “it doesn’t seem to be serious but we will know more tomorrow.” (MSG)

Vigneault said that he didn’t know what tests Marty was going through.
