Rangers v Hurricans (game 24 of 82)

[Lillie]

Wasn't pretty last night but a win is a win and you take them as pretty or as ugly as they are. Nash continues playing like a man possessed. Offense down a notch which is to be expected being without zib and buch who are 2 big components. Defense continues to be the weak link. Girardi I have to say has been better than I expected but unfortunately Klein is either hurt or has really regressed. AV's style is to sit the extra d-man till he rots but wish he would get clendening in for a game or 2 and give klein and or girardi an occasional night off. Goaltending for the most part has been fine. Rangers are playoff bound just a matter of the finish between them, pitt and the caps. Lillie, keep posting.

I will just be nice.

I've been watching The Rangers for a few years and they always had a winning season. Now the Knicks on the other hand.......... no comment.

Ah the Knicks...now that's a fanbase with a legitimate complaint.

I used to be a big NBA guy, but after the era of Larry Johnson, Sprewell, Allan Houston, Kurt Thomas etc. and the battles they used to have with those Heat and Pacers teams it just seems like a completely different league. I've watched maybe 10 minutes of NBA action in the past 5 years. Love college ball but would rather watch a full NASCAR race than the NBA.

Games in this league even out as the year progresses. Right now Rangers are down
two offensive forwards......which means others have to shoulder the responsibilities.
Imagine, the Rangers are in first place for now and their defense is not playing at
its optimum......what's to complain about? It could be worse.

I can't watch the NBA anymore either. It has a lot to do with the Knicks being terrible for so long but also the game is just a complete joke now. It's three pointers and fouls galore.

People forget. IMO Zibanejad is our number 1 center. He has by far the highest ceiling. He is out. Grabner our best PK guy with 12 goals is out. Buchnevich who really added creativity to the line he was on and our PP is out. That's 3 of the teams top 9 forwards. That is going to hurt the offense a lot.

I wouldn't mind seeing a little more Nieves in Lindbergs place for a few games. He's been a bit disappointing even in limited action.

Grabner has not missed a game.

Please, do not put anybody else out of the lineup!
