Tonight is a good game for the Rangers. I rather have them once again get a lesson on how they have to play to win in the regular season in a meaningless game than in the playoffs. And games like the one against CBJ are bad for this team, because they score a bunch of fancy goals against a crap team, and then say yeah that's the way to do it. They try it against a good structured team and get smacked into reality. That is what the 1st period was tonight.
If they don't get the lesson and understand the way they win in the playoffs is North South, get pucks deep, and shoot, then they don't deserve to win. We all see it and know it. Say it over and over again. Joe said it the first 25 + minutes. They know it also. Either it gets into their thickheads this is how we have to play to win playoff hockey, not East West, fancy, soft, pass happy sh*t, or the Devs will beat them. Quite frankly the only way they lose to the Devs is if they turn the puck over again and again in the neutral zone or their own zone. They play North South and get pucks deep, they beat NJ in 6.
It could still be CAR after tonight. Canes 1 up with a game in hand on NJ. Should hold on when you look at the schedule, but they have also lost 3 straight, so who knows.
One thing about Kane, guy needs to man up. This oh I just want to fit in and not make waves stuff is BS. You were brought here to be a stud, not another guy fitting in. Take off the dress, and make your presence felt, even if you have to step on some toes. Man up guy.
