Hope Rangers play at the top of their game tonight.
It should be a combative affair.
Go Rangers!
 
Hoping nash and kreider join the offense tonight and Big Mac gets some PK time out there. This should be a barnburner
 
Good start so far, both teams playing well. Hayes line is getting it done. Mcilrath looks alright, looks like a kid that hasn't played in 2weeks, given more time he should be able to get comfortable and progress further

McIlrath provides zero when he's in the lineup. Just trade him for a 4th rounder already.

What were you expecting from a stay at home dman, he has never exactly lit it up in the ahl. And really 5 periods this season and you have an assessment already. I'd rather see him play another 4-5 games in a row before i make up my mind.

The whole team has been outplayed in the 2nd period,
yet score 2 goals on their only 2 shots..........they have
let Washington have their own way in the defensive
zone. Caps have outshot Rangers 22-11 so far.

If you're only concerned with the outcome, then you're
happy......so far. Watching them not able to stop
Caps' crisp passing is troublesome.
 
Don't agree on your big mac assessment. Kid shook off the rust in first period after not playing for a while. 2nd period he was much better and made a couple of nice plays on one wiping out a defender on sideboards and then taking puck away and starting breakout and the other clearing laich's ass out of the crease for the first time in like forever for a ranger d man. I think AV is liking what he sees as mac has the 2nd most ice time after 2 periods behind McD who is having a big game. Hope he lets the kid go in third period also as the more this kid plays the better he'll get. Also leads the team in hits
 
We'll see Mel, and i probably am too critical of him but i just don't think he has what it takes to be more than a call up type.
 
While I agree they played an aweful defensive game, they were capable of finishing on holtby and they stand to get the win so it's just something to work on for the next game.

You guys are all crazy. Not sure what else to say. Team wins AGAIN and is in 1st place and STILL we complain. Business as usual for Step, but the rest of you I just don't get it. Crazy...

Did you watch this game? Plenty of room for improvement.

Chuck, are you a bottom line Ranger fan?
 
You have and always will be a moron on McIlrath 71. Gimme a break. Concentrate your hatred on Kreider who is a useless asswipe in 50% of the regular season games he plays. McIlrath was solid.
 
Of course there is room for improvement there always is, but for the love of god all you guys do is bi*ch in here no matter if we win, or lose, or lead the Met. If you can't see that than you are blind eyes.

It is way over the top, but again is what it is. I just wish you guys would see that and actually enjoy watching the team and enjoy all the winning we have done the past 4 years instead of complaining non-stop in every thread.
 
When will AV stop using Hayes on faceoffs. 1 and 10. He freakin sucks. He can't win draws. Stop letting him take draws AV.
 
We'll see Dump, i still say you guys are hoping against hope with him. I'll give it some more time to be fair.
 
Chuck will be the first one in line to bitch and moan once they go on a winless streak. If Holtby did not suck tonight, it would have been a much closer game.
 
You're lost. How many times did that moron Wilson run at people tonight? Answer. None because he knows McIlrath would have beat his ass. Ovechkin usually takes 4-5 runs at Rangers. I think he had one tonight and hurt his own guy. That is what McIlrath brings. He didn't turn the puck over either.
 
They were certainly not very crisp in their own end tonight. HL really saved their bacon. McDonagh continues to be a non factor.
 
LOL...good stuff Step. Stop confusing me with you bit*hng all the time. Good for you bro, but don't deny it...own it at least.

As for Hayes, I say let Lindberg take the FO's, but Hayes needs to be a C, he is much better when he plays C over wing.

For their 6th dman, you might as well play McIlrath. He is nothing special except for having size, but his 6th dman competition, Boyle, is nothing special either.
 
They were outplayed in the second period but Hank did what a top paid goalie is supposed to. AV gave McIlrath 19:50 of ice time so any negative analysis is pure asstalk, Staal was the defender that played like garbage last night between the numerous turnovers and pathetic defense, I think the optimistic fan like myself thinks this team will be quite formidable when Nash and CK wake up, for now they've been hitting the snooze button.
 
Rangers are not yet hitting on all cylinders but are succeeding nonetheless which is a great sign thanks mainly to hank. Kreids looked like he had some jump last night and just needs to start putting the puck in the net. Nash just needs to score a goal to get going. Love the way the big O is looking out there always seeming to be in the right place at the right time and I believe he led the team in hits also. I thought Mcd had his best game of the year yesterday. Big mac looked good for someone that hasn't seen game action in a while. I wish he could be out there more but until the rangers decide what they want to do with boyle this is how it will probably be for awhile unless an injury occurs on the right side.
 
^^^^^^mellow yellow Chuck! LOL
