Game 78

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Last time I checked the object of the game was to score more goals then you allow...while no one wants to give up 3 plus goals a game...if you score 4 or more then you still win right?

Sure let's tighten the defense....maybe these guys need a break and regroup when the playoffs start..maybe it's igor every night and not quick..

But 8 and 2 in the last 10 games only Dallas at 9 and 1 has done better down three stretch.

It's like you have to look for things to bitch about or worry about.

The d will tighten up and then we will not score then the posting will be about how bad the offense is..
There never seems to be any fucking joyville when it comes.

Tying team history for wins in a season...but the defense fucking blows and better this and that..

My lord

Wennberg is not a dud you dope. For starters, he's excellent carrying the puck through the neutral zone which some of our players are not great at. Second, he's excellent defensively. So are Kakko and Cuylle for young players. You want your third line to keep the puck out of your net first and chip in a little offensively second. Our third line does that. Last year they went for all the big offensive names and they couldn't play defense for jack shit.

They just keep rolling even when resting starters. Lav was hired to address the Rangers postseason flop, the underachievers told Drury last year that GG was to blame because he didn't coach them, no excuses this year. Drury has made some great moves to improve the Rangers depth should a starter get injured. This team is significantly better than GG's first year's roster. They have 3 solid lines, are more physical and most importantly to postseason play, the Rangers PP/PK are excellent.

I believe the playoffs start Saturday the 20th, so 12 or 13 days from today we'll start I'd guess. I want it to get going also, so ugh is right.

Pens get a point in Toronto tonight, a good point for them I think.

Isles - 77 games played, 85 points, 26 RW's - currently 3rd in the Met and would play the Canes.
Wings - 77 GP, 84 points, 27 RW's - currently 2nd WC and would play us.
Pens - 78 GP, 84 points, 31 RW's - behind the Wings because the Wings have a game in hand.

Caps and Flyers both struggling, outside looking in each with 83 points, Caps have played 77 games, Flyers have played 78 games, both have 28 RW's.

Still totally wide-open for the remaining two playoff spots in the East. We will play a big role in whether the Isles make it or not with 2 games left between the teams, and they also host the Pens last game of the season. The Pens also host the Wings on Thursday. They all play some tough games to finish the regular season. Seems more likely we'll play one of the Isles/Wings/Pens, but who knows.
