[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

Certainly there’s a lot of communication and they’re such good players, it’s very easy to play with them.
I think every line was firing on all cylinders. We’ll see if we continue to generate chances moving forward.
- Chris Kreider

I’m very happy to be back at center, but I’m happy to do whatever. When I was at wing, it was going well. We got a winger back (Hagelin) and we think we had more balance.
Overall, I feel more involved in the game at center.
- Brad Richards

There was a lot of atmosphere in the stands, and there was a lot of atmosphere on the ice. Just what I expected.
- Alain Vigneault​

[Loff]

2 points please. Thanks.

 

[JaeTM]

If we lose the Sabres....

 

[Loff]

If we lose the Sabres....

Season over.

 

[NYR Viper]

Well thank God Kaleta isn't playing. POS....

 

[Championship*]

Can't lose to the Sabres. Otherwise the last game means nothing.

 

[Vickers8]

Dom Moore is playing?

 

[JohnC]

Should win this game

4-1 Sabres

 

[eco's bones]

Hopefully the Rangers do three things that they haven't done so far:

1. + 2) win two games in a row--win on home ice.
3) score more than three times in a game.

 

[Championship*]

Dom Moore is playing?

Doubtful, I believe

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

3) score more than three times in a game.

5-0 win, hat-trick by Brassard

 

[DMoceri]

Quick poll Hank or Cam? I'm hoping Hank

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Doubtful, I believe

Yeah he's likely out. So Dorsett or Pyatt will probably go to the third line and Boyle center the fourth line.

 

[GarretJoseph*]

what would the fox say?

4-0 Rangers! That's what the effin fox says!!!!

Happy Halloween!

 

[Zucc36]

Zucc with a multi point game. Step with his first goal of the season.

 

[CTRanger]

LGR!
Have to win this or all the good that came out of Tuesdays game is moot.

 

[Fitzy]

Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello is really working as a line right now. I wouldn't mess with that.

 

[Jersey Girl]

By all accounts this Sabres coach Ron Rolston is in way over his head and it's only a matter of time before he's gone. Maybe even after tonight. Think John MacLean in New Jersey, but with less talent at hand...AND the Sabres just traded their best scorer.

Cannot lose this game.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Think you go with the hot goalie, doesn't matter to me and I'm going to guess Hank gets the start.

Never underestimate a team or take them lightly. But I'm all honesty it's a very winnable game. IF we play like we have been off late. This game will speak a lot about this team. Do they meander out and go through the motions or do they play with killer instinct. Hopefully they play with intensity.

Look at the team he was given. He is over his head?

#NYR No Dominic Moore on the ice, which means Brandon Mashinter likely to replace him in the lineup

[Kakko]

Anything but a win would be embarrassing

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers can't call up a better player to play rather than inserting Mashinter. Does Mashinter play with Boyle or Brassard?

 

[Fitzy]

If it was me, he'd be with Boyle and Pyatt on the 4th line. Dunno what AV would have in mind.

Also, despite Kristo's play it is clear that NYR do not think he is ready for this level yet.

 

[NYR Viper]

Mashinter wasn't too bad when he played in Philly. For 5-8 minutes he will be fine. Why even have him on the roster if you aren't going to play him for short stints if someone like Moore gets hurt?
