I think it is becoming clear that Georgie is the new #1.
Not a knock on Hank, but the kid is just better right now. He is calm, always in position and makes tough saves look routine. I hope he can keep it up!

We were trying to outlet the puck out of our defensive zone like it was a uranium nugget tonight. That made all the difference. 16 minutes of Staal and this style of play and this pace on all 4 lines disappear immediately.

Nothing to complain about tonight. Total team effort.

Really great to see the team respond and play a fast, straight ahead game. That's the kind of foundation you want to build on that will support the creativity on top of it.

Lindgren and Chytil both played like they never want to see Hartford ever again.

As everyone has said....EASILY the best the Rangers have looked all season. This is the team we thought we had coming into the season....feels good for a change as 360 degrees opposite of how we looked vs Boston this past Sunday

Chytil was dangerous all night as he clearly does'nt ever want to go back to Hartford again. He needs to do this every night

Kakko for first time really looked like he got his confidence back tonight. He was excellent in easily his best game of his career thus far. We need more of this as well.

Oh and Kreider was back to being Kreider tonight. Easily his best game of the year as well.

Entire defense group looked great especially Fox and Tony D. We need more of this as well.

And finally, Georgie as I've said a few times and I'll say it again should get the majority of the games going forward. Besides him simply being better than Hank at this point in their careers, the team seems to play better in front of him. He was an absolute wall tonight as he typically is...let's be honest.

Great win...whole team played fantastic....need more of this energy and passion going fwd. Kudos to Quinn for pushing whatever buttons he needed to press...they evidently worked as message received by team.

We have like a six year sample of Staal being garbage on fire...

I’m saying besides going for memes, the play tonight had little to do with Staal being there.

It had a lot to do with Georgiev playing well, and some of our young guys not wanting to go back to the farm, which is great!

I sincerely doubt the team was “fired up” because he wasn’t playing.

Idk what to tell ya fam

Who said anything about "fired up"?

They were better because Staal is awful.

Georgiev was great tonight but Hank has been good this season too. The boxcar stats look pedestrian but there's some charts floating around showing how great he's been doing considering his workload and the quality of chances he's been facing. I believe he's 3rd in the league in GSAA.

Goaltending hasn't been an issue at all. Hank isn't 2012 Hank anymore but he's still good. They can for sure be a good tandem this year. The team played better tonight than they have all season. If they play close to this level every game, they're going to win a lot or at least get much more favorable results because their goalies are both good enough to put them over the top when the team plays structured and sound defensively.

Tonight actually looked like defensive zone structure has been practiced, nowhere near the amount of unchecked players, open passing lanes or lost battles in front or down low. Lots of good positioning, smart sticks and most importantly to me: smart pressure in the D zone. No standing around and watching. Players applied pressure at the perfect times as opposed to most of this season when they'd be standing and watching in the D zone and the other team could just do what they want and we were always a step behind.

Very impressed with the effort all around. Now I'd like to see them carry this effort forward and play with this kind of structure going forward. Losing is one thing but if they lose while looking how they did tonight then it is more palatable. Losing while getting outshot 45-20 and looking like pee wees out there is so disheartening.

Not for nothing but this team seems to play better with Georgie in net. Whether they believe he needs more help than Hank or what, it has become very noticeable. Might be time for Georgie to get the bulk of games.
