Rangers at Islanders #4 of 5

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Well my prediction was off by a bit

 

[Disturbed]

Huge 2 points and mentally just a huge win.....Talbot and the D was horrific and they still got 2 pts in regulation. Crazy game

 

[chuckd3534]

We CAN beat the Isles...LOL.

Little help from the post at the end. Little help from Halak being awful. This was good stuff. Now we can win the division. With games in hand we are in 1st.

 

[Messiah717]

First place is certainly a possibility.

 

[Messiah717]

Good to see the scoring picking up from other areas besides Nash.

 

[chuckd3534]

Talbot is winning. All we can say. That is what matters. Numbers don't look good (over a .900 sv% in only one game and 3 goals against at least in 5 of 7 games), but he is winning. All that matters.

 

[Ranger71]

Just keep getting points..first place is secondary, just get in.

 

[chuckd3534]

Great to see the Step line finally wake up.

What a game...

 

[chuckd3534]

We are in sc. Let's not do this again. Focus on 1st because they are in.

Not saying I really care that much about 1st, 1st or 2nd I am fine, but we are in bro.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Isles d sucks and it finally got exposed. If you cant defend, you cant win in the playoffs.

 

[Messiah717]

27-9-1 in their last 37 games.

 

[Ranger71]

You love when i dont assume theyve clinched.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Too bad Moore couldn't bang that EN goal in

 

[chuckd3534]

That's pretty solid Mess...

 

[chuckd3534]

BTW...any surprise that we have been scoring a lot of goals and Kreider is playing well. He is so key for us. He is our # 2 after Nash IMO.

 

[Ranger71]

Stepan played a great 3rd after some dumb things early.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Marty st Louis. ..reminder how important he is

 

[kreidertime]

I have no idea why AV continues to play shrimp Hunwick against a bigger team like the Isles. Glass is so slow and incompetent it's hard to believe. He is awful on the PK unit. Team badly misses Fast there. Stempniak and Glass aren't cutting it. Team needs a 4th line wing from what I can see to go with Fast and D. Moore. Bring Korpikoski back and put him on that line. He shouldn't cost much to obtain at all.

 

[Ranger71]

Too bad that wasn't the last meeting ever at NC.

 

[chuckd3534]

Good team win.

 

[Messiah717]

McDonagh with over 25 minutes of ice time tonight. He was pretty solid tonight.

 

[chuckd3534]

That will be in the playoffs sc.

Add Vermette and Miller moves to 4th line dump.

 

[Messiah717]

The one thing you have to say about this team is you can't keep them down. They do some dumb shit but give up is not one of them.

 

[mrmel29]

BTW...any surprise that we have been scoring a lot of goals and Kreider is playing well. He is so key for us. He is our # 2 after Nash IMO.

No surprise at all. Kreider a force every time hes on the ice now and he's letting go that howitzer of a shot he's got more than just always passing. I think Joe Mik commented that kreids has 9 goals in the last 20 games or so which is a very nice clip. Judging by the way McD was firing the puck tonight his shoulder problems are over.

 

[cagedlion]

One f'kn wild game. And yes........these Rangers are resilient.
Not an easy task to travel across the country and beat the
Islanders in regulation.

They have earned a day off before they take on the Canucks
Thursday at home.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

They're a good road team again this year, that was huge last year

 

[strudwickisthebest]

If we acquire someone than we have a rotation of Miller-Fast-Stempniak-Glass for 2 spots on the 4th line.

In reality Glass shouldn't see the ice unless there are no other options.


If they acquire another winger MSL and D.Moore could be an option but MSL isn't getting 4th line minutes. I actually though St.Louis and D.Moore played well with each other last year in the playoffs when Moore filled in for Brassard ( and when Moore had a chance to make it 3-0 in G1 against LA on a pass from MSL but whiffed on an open net).. I'm still pissed about that

 

[kreidertime]

Carton is so desperate for ratings. He tries to instigate to get calls. Complaining about the non trip where Boychuk was already falling over his own feet.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Kings are heating up...no surprise there. Just 3 pts back from 2nd in their division.

 

[Messiah717]

Carton is so desperate for ratings. He tries to instigate to get calls. Complaining about the non trip where Boychuk was already falling over his own feet.

Then we should mention the missed call late when Stepan was taken down in his own end and the Islanders came towards Talbot with numbers. The Islanders had three two goal leads and that idiot is crying about a good non call.
