Blackhawks at Rangers on NBCSN

[cagedlion]

Coming off solid win against Isles last night, Hawks face
off against "injury-plagued"(not my words.....espn, tsn,
hn term for>>) Rangers today. Like, no one else has injuries.
Hawks have injuries but they are not plagued!

Let's show 'em how 'plagued' we are. GO RANGERS.

Awesome, another night with Pierre.

"Hey Doc speaking of (random player), he played his junior hockey with the Saskatchewan Salmon Runners of the OFJCSHL under coach Benoit Lieanneax, and thats where he really learned how to pass the puck."

At some point the Rangers will have to lose a game. If you look at the Isles and Pens folding, these regular season games don't mean a ton, unless you are crazy about 1st in the East or the Pres trophy. The Met and home ice in rounds 1 and 2 is 99% locked up. So now we say just stay healthy. All that matters.

.500 the rest of the way would be 109 points.

 

[panzerporter]

Giving guys a game off here and there will pay dividends in the playoffs, especially with back to backs coming and playoff intensity. The excellent point made about the loss of two call ups because of tardy contract work is inexcusable but AV could still use one to give a kid some ice time. No need for the team to head into the playoffs with dead legs, I don't think sitting one regular from the top 2 lines for one game to get a few solid days rest would be the difference in winning a game.

 

[Messiah717]

It's fine as long as you don't kill guys. You don't want McD and Girardi out there for 28 minutes.

 

[MrSleeps]

pretty sure you want to test your self as a team against the top teams, they only play chicago twice a year, etc, so they want to try to figure them out before they could play them in the finals etc, i would much rather them lose to a bum team to a good team, being prepared is what makes you succesful in the playoffs. This game may not seem like it matters, but it matters, not about the points, but to prove, hey we can beat chicago twice with talbot, without msl, i expect a higher scoring game then the last time few weeks back.

and since i put money on the rangers tonight, i hope im right (i never put money on my team), i say a 4-2 rangers win. Whose with me?

 

[Messiah717]

As good as this team has been they still frustrate me with the passing at bad times.

 

[Messiah717]

Damn idiot ref blowing the whistle for no reason. Watch the damn play you idiots.

 

[Stepupstepan]

why cant these fucking idiots review this play. 100 % should be a goal by DMoore.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Nice girly arm shot there Stepan.

 

[Messiah717]

They must of sent these refs from Chicago. Somebody needs to fire a puck at one of them.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Hopefully some calls will go the rangers way in the second period.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Doesnt that usually happen when a team
Hits the post on an odd man rush

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Nice play by Glass watching Richards

 

[MrSleeps]

wow glass, i think worst player ive ever seen in NHL history. Serioulsy, watching richards for 30 seconds. Jesus why is this dude still on here,

 

[chuckd3534]

That is why Glass cannot play on this team. He was covering air as Richards waited to shoot...LOL.

When we get to the playoffs and everyone is healthy I will be very angry if AV plays Glass.

 

[Messiah717]

I don't want to see Glass out there anymore. He's complete garbage. That being said score some damn goals.

 

[chuckd3534]

I will tell you one thing, it is time for AV to tell these guys to shoot the f'ing puck. Zucc earlier. Yandle right there. SHOOT THE PUCK.

 

[Messiah717]

Like I said earlier. They go for the low percentage pass instead of shooting far too often. Get the damn thing on net and see what happens.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Glass made a nice pass to set up the 3 on 1 but acted as his usual suck-azz self watching Richards

 

[chuckd3534]

Well, if the PP is ever going to wake up...

 

[strudwickisthebest]

plenty of opportunities.... the puck just doesn't want to go in for them tonight

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Stepan takes the dumbest shots and Kreider makes the worst passes

 

[Messiah717]

The only thing you can say about this one is that Talbot was great. Deserved better but goals are not coming right now.

 

[chuckd3534]

Frustrating PP man. Talbot was great again. Frustrating L, but not going to win every game. We had plenty of chances but couldn't bury one.

Very winnable game Saturday at Carolina. Get back on the right track and lock up the Met officially.

 

[Messiah717]

Kreider had his head up his ass tonight.

 

[Disturbed]

Super frustrating game but can't win every game. Power play is concerning. Boyle looks horrible all year. Glass. LMAO

 

[Disturbed]

Another game they get shut out by journeyman goalie

 

[chuckd3534]

Actually a good ending as we miss the net...LOL.

Need to get the O going. Had chances have to finish. And get the PP going. That simple really.
