HUGE. And the right guys scored. We need Brassard badly, and he scores. Another great play by Pouliot there. HUGE win for us to end this trip. And great to see the guys who scored score. Just huge.
BTW...we found a real solid backup also. Talbot played well in both these games. We can rest Hank some and still have very good goalie play unlike last season. Good stuff.
Pouliot was real big tonight. We need him and Brassard badly, so great to see.
Well deserved win as the rangers had much the better of play. Talbot was fantastic tonight. One thing I thought curious the was kreider was playing was pairing him in OT with boyle. Really!! How about with stepan or richards. Thank god this opening season 9 game bullshit road trip is finally over.
3-6 is not great obviously, but this was a very tough start. I was thinking 2-7 or 3-6, so 3-6 is the "better record", and considering the tough teams we played, a month on the road, and all the injuries, 3-6 is not awful.
I think Stepan will be fine. He started very slowly last season as well, and then took off. I think he'll find his footing soon. We need Brassard and Pouliot to play well and give us some 2nd line scoring, that is what made tonight even better.
I was very impressed with Talbot in these two games. Looks like exactly what you need from a backup goalie. A calm guy, who plays his angles well, and is just solid. Good to see for us moving forward. We can rest Hank here and there and still expect solid goaltending.
very happy Talbot is the back up......you think Lindberg gets called up this year? played
a great game tonight in Hershey......and wasn't even one of the stars of the game.
