Rangers-Flyers 2

[mrmel29]

Off to a good start as brassard gets the pp goal.

 

[mrmel29]

Lets get another pp goal here and blast them out of the garden

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Good movement, one too many passes...great start

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Who the f gets the mumps

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Why would you go to the boards instead of pressing the open puck holder? Horrible play by staal

 

[mrmel29]

Al, maybe the team doc was as sick of glass as we are and came up with the "team diagnosis". Ha ha ha

Al, I thought that was on stepniak who was there and then skated across to the other side of the ice where we had numbers already leaving the place he was just at wide open.

 

[mrmel29]

The Duke is flying out there. Like to see him get one soon.

Agree stepniak went down low leaving the point, staal has a choice attack the puck carrier or...he decides to cover thr end boards, in fairness maybe hank yells he got the shooter as its now a 2 on 1...id rather see him attack the puck carrier in the circle then yake away the pass

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Well now we all know better, the duke was out of position

 

[mrmel29]

Hayes another one gets a lot of good opportunities and hopefully starts finishing some soon. Nash and St. Louis need to have a finishing class with these kids.

 

[mrmel29]

Lets get a pp goal here to end the period

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Zuccs didnt have much to say with twiggy

 

[mrmel29]

Well now we all know better, the duke was out of position

Yep, and between period highlights you see the befuddled duclair on said play.

 

[mrmel29]

And fasth with his first and just like that were tied at 2

 

[mrmel29]

Brassard shoot the damn puck from 3 feet out

 

[mrmel29]

Brass does have a hard shot. 3-2 rangers

 

[mrmel29]

Great goal by miller to make it 4-2. If AV sends this kid down again instead of waiving glass's ass there should be an investigation.

 

[kreidertime]

I've been telling morons on other chat boards for over a year. Miller should be on wing and on the 4th line learning the defensive game from Moore and how to play with consistent effort. Our 4th line is now set. Miller-Moore-Fast. When Kreider comes back you can use Stempniak as a spare part. Sometimes you can sit Duclair or Hayes vs. a tougher team. Personally, I'd sit Duclair vs. Tampa.

Way to go 4-4 against the Flyers the past two days. Solid performance and great to see the 4th line play well again. HUGE coincidence that the best two games the 4th line has played all season were without Glass. Yesterday with Stemp/Moore/Fast and today with Miller/Moore/Fast, and they scored 2 goals today.

If Glass sniffs this lineup going forward I will flip out on AV. He cannot be that stupid and blind though.

 

[chuckd3534]

BTW...the Flyers are horrific. My lord they suck at everything. Even their normal play cheap and hit people late isn't happening anymore, almost like they are dis-interested in playing. And with at SJ, at Anaheim, and at LA coming up, they could be done in a week.

 

[Messiah717]

Great job getting the four points against Philly. This is exactly what you do against struggling teams. Now it's time to go get a win against Tampa.

 

[chuckd3534]

Would be nice to finally beat TB and then have 4 days off until we play at Detroit to get 100% healthy and ready to really get on a roll. If we beat TB that would be 5 of 6, and points in 8 of 10 I think. We are really playing well now. I can see something starting to build. Yes the Flyers are pathetic, but still a rival and you have to earn the points and take care of business regardless, so nicely done.

I would actually like to see Miller/Moore/Fast as the 4th line with Stemp the extra forward once we are fully healthy. Then add another top 9 forward and we are back to being deep and very dangerous.

 

[Ranger71]

Great weekend getting 4 pts. Miller on the wing is just better for him, but he needs to bring more consistency to stay up. I wouldn't take Stempniak out, he's a vet who knows what he's doing out there. I'd sit Duclair more nights than not, he's a little shaky defensively.

 

[panzerporter]

Hope AV comes around on Miller but we'll see. JT adds a dynamic to the 4th line that Glass can't. He's about the same size as Glass too.
