St. Louis at NY Rangers (game 10 of 82)

[cagedlion]

St. Louis is very defensive minded, just like the Detroit Red Wing who came into the Garden
and Rangers were robbed of a W by their goalie. Look for the same type game. The Blue to watch
is Tarasenko. For the Rangers it will be interesting to see if Kreider & Co can make any dents in their net. Go Rangers.

Nice start but i feel like with the pps it should be at least 3-0. St Louis does have a solid pk. Hopefully McDonagh is ok, this team seems to be cursed with eye. mishaps.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Playing well again. Even d looks very good.

 

[Messiah717]

4-0. So good to see the PP actually scoring this year.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Holy shit they are even scoring on odd man rushes.

 

[Messiah717]

Another five spot.

Rangers flat out have a terrific offense with the speed and the skill and while typing this the amazing vesey just got his 2nd assist with a goal to make it 5-0. PP looks great and the defense hasn't been bad. I'd still like trouble but if I'm gorton I'm in no rush to overpay as with this offense the defense appears better as the puck is spending so much time in the offensive zone. Kreids looks real good again ands quietly nash is nash again and the trade nash talk has disappeared for the moment

 

[Stepupstepan]

lol...mel. We all know Nash plays well in the regular season whenever he wants to. The question always with him is can he step up in the playoffs?

 

[Stepupstepan]

LOL...Hayes has been doing some boxing drills.

 

[Messiah717]

Another very solid effort. Congrats to Hank on his 60th career shutout.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Tremendous all around tonight. PP converted 2. 0 goals allowed. balanced scoring. Couldn't ask for a better start to the season.

 

[cagedlion]

Yeah. I agree with the post game comment............."Why couldn't this be April?" lol

 

[panzerporter]

Could not be happier to give Girardi props after being down on him, so far he's been solid. Joe Mich explained AV's system best, dman gets puck and immediately gets rid of it, the days of pinning the puck against the boards and kicking it to the blue line are gone. As long as the dmen follow this formula and get the puck to their 4 talented lines they are very tough to stop. CK has shown why talks of trading him in his primadonna days were premature and JT has gone from doghouse to leading the team in scoring. Gorton has to be in consideration for GM of the Year. 4th in the NHL in shots per game, 7th faceoff win%.

 

[Stepupstepan]

let's see what happens for the rest of the season before Gorton gets to be considered for gm of the year.

Moron Milbury hates the Rangers. He was praising Tampa and Pitt. He still thinks this is last season. He doesn't realize each year teams are different.

 

[kreidertime]

We get some predictions right and wrong. I remember saying Miller would be a bigger, faster, version of Cally. Got that one right.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Some players need to be in the doghouse to turn themselves into better players.
Miller is one....kreider probably is another

 

[Ranger71]

Stepan needs to get it together a little.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I know Stepan is very well liked in the organization and it's still early but I am getting tired of his act. I would like to see what he can bring back in return. I think he may have a very good value around the league right now. His contract might be an issue, though.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yep, his contract will be a huge issue. Just looked up his contract. 6,500,000 cap hit ....LOL Sather is a fucking moron.

• 2017 & 2018: Full No Trade
• 2019 & 2020: 15 Team No Trade List

 

[kreidertime]

Stepan can be a 6 million dollar wing. He still sucks on draws. He's always been a slow starter. Can't trade him though. You see what another righty shot in Zibanejad has done for the PP. We don't have enough right shots that we can deal him without getting one back for the offense.

 

[Messiah717]

How about we just leave the team alone for now. Stepan's career numbers have been pretty consistent year after year so I'm not sure what act you're getting tired of. The Rangers lead the league in goals scored and Stepan will get his.

 

[mrmel29]

I like Stepan just wish he had sharper elbows sometimes or accidentally gets the butt end of his stick into the throat of the next cheap shot artist taking a run at him.
