Nash with his 19th makes it 1-0.

they doing a lot better then thr stupid knicks
 
I'd rather shave my balls with straight razor than go watch the Knicks.
 
It is amazing how good Nash has been this season...flat out beast. 11 game point scoring streak.

Boyle and these passes he makes...wake up bro.

PPG for Kreider...we need to get CK going and the PP going, so double plus...even if it was a fluke type of goal...still counts.

Awesome to be up 2-0 after 1...no excuses now.
 
The pp is just ridiculous. It's amazing this team ever scores with the lack of puck handlers they have. Win ugly.
 
Until the Knicks realize they won't win with Anthony and blow it up they'll go round in circles. Keep Hardaway and Shumpert.

Click to expand...

They're now 5-22 with him. How much worse can it be without him?
 
#20 for Nash and it's 3-0. What a year he's having.
 
Stepan makes it 4-0 and a change in goal for Calgary.
 
Here we go with the treading water with a big lead thing.
 
Only thing the garden cheered for was seeing kreider score on the garden vision
 
I bet Miller has a contusion or sprain, he got stood up pretty good.
 
What a terrible officiating in the third period. The flames should have at least 5 penalties in the third period.
 
A tremendous trip. Finally putting some winning streak together. Took only like 3 months to do it. LOL
 
This team is in great shape. They could use another winger but top 5 scoring in NHL now in goals scored and Hank (as usual this time of year) is finding his game.

There are a lot of road games after New Years the rest of the way but I like how this team is looking especially if Nash keeps it going and Zuc and Kreider start being consistent.

Will be interesting to see what they do with Staal
 
I wouldn't say they're in great shape. The East has a lot of teams with good records this year. The Rangers if they play their A or B game, should go 7 and 0 vs. the next 7 teams they play. If they manage to go 6-1, that would put them at 21-11-4. Then I would say they are starting to be in good shape. They play Carolina twice, Washington, NJ, Florida, Buffalo and Dallas their next 7.
 
I'm still not sold on the defenseman unit of this team. Boyle has been useless. He was brought here to help the PP and he's been a bumbling idiot. I think they need an upgrade. People are quickly forgetting how this team got embarrassed 3 times vs. the Lightning who have a lot of offensive players. They were also embarrassed by the Islanders early on who also have a lot of fire power. Same with the Maple Leafs in 2 games. In those 6 games vs. those better offensive teams this team gave up a combined 32 goals which is horrific. They have played the teams that are not playing well the last 3 games. For some reason, they have Pitt's number this year. I would wait a little bit before getting too excited.
 
However, I will agree that the team is scoring a lot more. However, you have to look at it as follows. Suppose Nash goes down. Who scores on this team? There are basically no goal scorers on this roster other than Nash. St. Louis is old. While he's still good, he's not what he was.

Not bad for a team that sucks.

We suck and have won 4 straight. CBJ sucks and they have won 7 straight. I'd love to suck like that...:).

In all seriousness, great job out there. No excuse Saturday or Sunday either. Home and home with the Canes who have lost 6 straight and have the least amount of points in the NHL. Wonder if Hank goes back to back again...I will say no.
 
Typical Chuck. You get excited over a win vs the worst team in hockey, a win vs. a team that is falling apart in Calgary and a win vs. the Canucks who aren't playing well. Again, completely ignoring the fact this team gave up 32 goals in 6 games to Toronto, Tampa and the Islanders.
 
The ony thing typical is you nit-picking issues still. Of course we are far from a perfect team, exactly what I said last week when all the oh we suck threads were going on in here. BUT we have a solid team...no doubt in my mind. Not the best. Not even top 5 in the NHL. But a good solid team. From there we see if we improve, Sather can add the right player or two we need, and let the chips fall where they may in the playoffs, same as always.

I do not speak in absolutes like you do. We clearly don't suck. We clearly are not great. We are a good solid team. That is all I ever said we were. We do have upside though with a great goalie finding his game as usual, a talented D with some very good guys at the top, and a better scoring team this season as well. With a struggling Zucc and Kreider we are still scoring a lot. Sure Nash is a big part of that, but he is not the whole team, and we still have 69 non-Nash goals and are 4th in the NHL in scoring.

So far from perfect, need another forward still IMO, but this is a good solid team that can make noise in the playoffs again...I fully believe that. All I have ever said.
 
I believe that was the first time the Rangers have ever swept a West Coast trip so regardless of the opponent the 3-0 sweep is still impressive.
 
It's a good start but I wouldn't say great shape. The 6-7 game stretch to end 2014 is big. Columbus is playing better and you have the Islanders, Washington and Pitt. In the Atlantic you have Tampa, Montreal, Detroit and Toronto. The Bruins are lurking as well. The playoff race might be very tight. The Rangers need to win most games on this stretch and create some space plus get right in range of the Uslanders.
 
Given Hanks start + all the injuries I think this team is in great shape. Yes gotta keep winning but the injuries were brutal early on and the D has not played up to their ability. I like how the team has responded. Dump is right about Nash, cant afford him to go down but every team could say that.

I just like that this team scores goals. The D is the D, I think they will find their game.

Onward and upward. I think spring is bright for this team
 
Whether they win 4 and lose 3 in a row, just by watching them you can see they still need another top 9 forward who can get around the net and finish, plus maybe a bigger dman with a solid shot. That's why I thought a Harrison/Tlusty package deal in the next few months would solve both in one fell swoop. Chances are Carolina is packing it in by mid-January. Harrison is a very solid 5/6 guy and Tlusty is having a great year.
