Said they hated going there and would "joke" about having to play there. Now it might be different because of the renovations.

I see.

great hustle, transition, forecheck...overall a great start to the game, Rangers looking really godo right now! Great goal by Richards, great for his confidence. Last season that puck would have gone wide.

Rangers up 1-0!

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Why is the faceoff in the Rangers zone? That was a hand-pass..

Probably because Staal wouldn't play it.

 

[dmjt4160]

Man that was a sick save by Quick on Nash before the goal

 

[Raspewtin]

I'm very glad they have this start in the Staples Center. Kings are brilliant at home.

 

[Kane One]

I see.

No big deal. The Kings own their arena and they're the least popular tenant in it.

 

[trilobyte]

Sorry, Kings. You needed to knock the net off sooner, as your ass was cooked on that goal

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Callahan, Moore, Boyle is a very good forecheck and boardwork line.

 

[trilobyte]

Score another one, quick.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Stepan's looking sharper.

 

[Holocene]

Steps with all the intercepts tonight

 

[Machinehead]

Offside my ass

 

[Placid]

Fantastic intensity in their game this far, very enjoyable game to watch.

Hi guys, Oilers fan here. Just stopping by because I need to get away from my team. How's the game going so far?

 

[ss53mech]

Pens fan coming in peace. Just looking for a decent perspective on Richards. I always liked him as a player and wasn't exactly thrilled that the Rangers snagged him a while back. Obviously the media, coach, fans were pretty down on him last year and he definitely didn't pass the eye test for me. I'm kind of hoping that he can get it together and start contributing at close to what the expectations are. clearly scoring tonight will adjust some folks opinions but what do you guys think? Is he going to get back to being himself this year? Is he simply starting to show his age? Or maybe he was just a bad fit in Torts/NYR system from last year? Thoughts?

When my team annoys me, the first place I go isn't usually another annoying team

But I digress. We look better.

he was lazy last offseason. this year he worked with St. Louis and his trainer, so he should be better

 

[NYSportsfan87]

Keep up the pressure, more goals please.

Fair enough, but I try to stay away from the other Canadian teams and the Rangers seem pretty neutral towards us...

 

[Kane One]

Richards is looking great.

 

[trilobyte]

Look at Staal.

What a boss.

 

[Loff]

So close.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Great period from Richards.

McDonagh is just an atrocity at the point. it's painful to watch.

 

[Raspewtin]

so close Nash and Step. Nash looks great. That whole line looks great. I loved that period.

 

[TankLarkin]

encouraging 20 minutes.
