Team is really starting to play well and they are missing probably their 2 best forwards. Kreider in front of the net on the PP....Hmmm, what a novel idea.
Team is playing well. They still need another fwd and to get healthy but this team is going to be fine this year if Nash comes back

I liked the penalty Dorsett took. I'll like it better if they are up 5-1 and pummel Murphy with a few minutes left in the game. This team has been taking cheap shots way too often with nothing done about it.
I don't mind him going after Murphy, just the timing. Should have saved it for later ...
Another nice goal by Step/Kreider/Zuc....Some D breakdowns saved by Hank
Its amazing how much better teams play when they are not playing all their games 3,000 miles from home starting games at 10 pm at night for 2 weeks.

Yup and Kreider is playing like a 25 goal 50 pt physical player

The people "concerned" about Stepan can settle down now also...
.
Another very good performance and solid win. Good to see. And Cally will be back this upcoming week as well. Team is almost at full strength finally, only Nash is out still, and he could be out for a long time sadly.
With these guys all back, the lines don't look that bad.

I also think Dorsett has been playing really strong hockey recently. When he doesn't take numerous dumb penalties he is an asset for this team for sure. I like his game a lot.
This board was in full meltdown mode after that BS west coast trip........This team still has flaws, they probably need another fwd even when healthy and they definitely need a PP QB. It's a long season....This team is going to be in the mix
Kreider is a huge key. So far so good

They need another forward for sure, deal MDZ for one, but they are playing really well right now and it is good to see. And the lines are pretty decent also with everyone outside of Nash back. If they added another decent forward who could score 20 or so, I really think we'd be in very solid shape upfront.
Kreider is a huge key. When I started that Kreider is killing us thread weeks ago, this is why. For this team to be a good team Kreider must contribute in a decent way. The team makeup dictates we need him to be a producer, and it is no surprise to me that as soon as he comes up and starts playing well, the team did the same.
And Hags adds another dimension also. He is an important player for this team even if he is only a 15 or so goal guy. His speed really opens things up for everyone else.
Good stuff to watch right now. I am enjoying it.

when I mentioned we needed Hags back badly, you laughed at me. Now you see why you need him in the lineup.

I don't remember laughing at you, or you saying we needed Hags back badly, but I will take your word for it...LOL.
It's not really one player it's getting secondary scoring in general. Also Hank is in mud season form now and Talbot has played well enough to use him sporadically which is impt.
All this is great but they need Nash

To have bigger dreams, yes they need Nash back. The fact that we hear nothing about him at all, and he hasn't practiced at all since going out, isn't good. But we need to hope he turns that corner sometime soon, and be happy that we are playing well right now, and Cally will be back this week.
Yup agreed
Whats nice is that we are watching the Rangers play an attacking style of offense, as well as getting stronger on defense. Seems kind of weird watching the defense try and push the puck up the ice, instead of watching the entire team packing it in, in front of Hank trying to block 50 shots a game. I still don't think they are their yet, but they are definitely on their way and once they arrive they will be a serious contender for a cup.
Monday will be a big test ...
