Game Thread Rangers at Columbus

[Rangers94]

That's a bullshit call. Jenner should've gotten one for interference as the puck was no where near Zucc. Zucc gets one for roughing. 4 on 4. Bullshit ass call there. Like I said, put Dylan out there and they won't try to run a 5'6" winger.

Tied at 1 going into the third on the road, I will take it.

The Rangers are playing fine. Playing two tough teams on the road to start. Won the 1st game and tied into the 3rd in the 2nd game, nothing to complain about IMO. Just need the 1st line to wake up.

 

[Ranger71]

Wow, the Barclays Center has absolutely nothing near the atmosphere of the NC. It almost seems like a preseason game there. They have a car sitting in one corner.

 

[Stepupstepan]

They are playing like they always do in October. Just not allowing as many goals like in previous years.

 

[Rangers94]

What's Boyles TOI so far tonight? I feel like he hasn't seen TE ice a whole lot. Which is good. But if he's going to see so few minutes, I'd prefer Dylan to get them as he wont get knocked around like a geriatric patient.

That Hags trade gets better and better every time Oscar scores!!!!

 

[SaveLundy]

Lindberg has been an absolutely phenomenal addition

Just came back from being out with the wife and they scored two goals. Just awesome let's hope they can close it out

 

[Rangers94]

AWESOME answer there.

 

[Ranger71]

Why they didnt trade Hags for OL.

 

[SaveLundy]

Oooooooh baby that went from a bad penalty to a win in 30 seconds

Trading Hags forced them to keep Oscar up on the big team. No way Oscar is on this team right now with Hags here still.

 

[Messiah717]

That escalated quickly.

 

[SaveLundy]

Lindberg is light years better then hags, he can finish and win draws

I know it is one game but it is unbelievable ho much the BJ's get hyped up by the analysts every season.

 

[Pastafazul]

3 51 left in game and i let myself get distracted, shame on me... saw the goals and wow, impressive.... i walked away saying to myself mcdummy what the....

 

[Messiah717]

2-0 start with two tough road wins. It has been a while since they started a season 2-0.

I noticed the car. From what I could tell on television it seems like they're playing in an airline hanger.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Two good wins even though they haven't played their best yet. Nice to see they don't have to rely on Nash for scoring.

That's also why it doesn't pay to listen to all those talking heads with their crystal ball predictions. All I read was how they did nothing to replace St. Louis. With all do respect to his career St. Louis was washed up. I'd rather have youth and balanced lines any day of the week.

 

[mrmel29]

When do we stop playing road cupcakes? LOL. And the friggin hobbit is back

 

[cagedlion]

Wow. Rangers finally have a full complementing team.
Happy for Big "O". He's legit.

 

[kreidertime]

I don't want to diminish what Hagelin did here. He had his moments. He had some very good playoff series. He along with Kreider were some of our best forwards in the finals. However, the money he got was moronic. He's a role player. Lindberg certainly is impressing. That's a great sign. Nice start.

 

[chuckd3534]

Good wins. I like the depth. I like how the lines are coming together. It is good to see balance and a 4 line team, last year we struggled to be a 3 line team at times.

I do think this team is better than last year. The depth upfront, the youth, we are much bigger without Hags and MSL, having Yandle all season makes our D so darn deep. And we haven't even seen McIlrath or Etem yet.

I like the makeup of this team. Obviously a very long way to go, but I like what I have seen so far as we come at you in waves upfront and on D.
