Well, I was thrilled with the performance. Looking forward to seeing if they can maintain this level of energy and intensity next game. A back to back is tough, especially against another good team but... it's early and they should have plenty in the tank. I want to see them come out and make a statement by being just as relentless against SJ tomorrow.
 
Hey Nash, you're on my fantasy team, so next time shoot! :laugh:

I feel for Quick. He delivered an amazing performance tonight and it will be forever overshadowed. Some of the saves he made tonight were out of this world. For most of the game, I kept thinking how much fun it's going to be watching this guy on team USA, and being able to root for him :nod:

What a great game.

Thought McDonagh and Girardi were average as a pairing.

Other than that? Great game. I love how aggressive we are, and hope this is something the team can keep up in the dog days of the season.
 
That was something we as fans desperately needed to see. Good solid 60 minutes, with just one huge lapse by Richie, but he looked great otherwise.

That was the best this team has looked so far including preseason. Add in that LA spanked them a little over a week ago, this was good to see.
 
When you play the type of game the Rangers just played, you get bounces to go your way. One off the D stick and one that's gotta be up there with weirdest goals I've ever seen.

Do it again tomorrow.
 
I thought it was pretty obvious that Nash was waiting for Beaver so that he could get the hat trick.

Good win.
 
You know who was good tonight?



Of course I wonder why Nash can't be that good more often, but I won't worry about that for now, I needed this win :laugh:
 
I could nitpick things about this game but the bottom line is the Rangers played quite well against a good team and forced the Kings into a LOT of errors and were able to capitalize on enough of them. Quick was really damn good and kept it close (except for that gaf). Lundqvist was also solid though still seems a bit uncomfortable to me

But overall...the team moved the puck well, covered the slot and front of the net much better, generated chances and turnovers and did what they had to do.

Ok I guess one nitpick...not impressed by Pouliot on that second line so far.
 
Best road regular season game I've seen this team play in a long, long time
 
Not sure why Boyle is getting so much hate for being on the power play. Seems like the biggest problem for the PP, just like last year, is the inability to get the puck into the zone.
 
It was really refreshing to watch this team not sit back and try and protect that 3-1 lead those last 10 minutes of the game, they were going for the throat.
 
They'll have enough left for tomorrow, not worried. Hank played good needs the game tomorrow night to keep it all going.

Those of you who feared the Kings, shame on you.
 
The Rangers did not really give up too much tonight, when you look at it. They met the Kings head on physically, and I think that was paramount in establishing their game.
 
Zucc Richards Nash Stepan all were excellent. Liked what I saw out of everyone else too - some good passes from Brassard - Pouliot was all over the place - Pyatt really strong on the puck - even Boyle looked very good.
 
That game was every bit as inspiring as the first one was depressing. Many, many players were on the top of their game.
 
Great effort that shows what this team can do. My concern is still Richards.. I don't think he can sustain 1st line minutes, especially over a whole season. Great effort tonight though.
 
Haha! Just as the final signal went off, my alarm clock went off. ****ing time difference. I've been up since 4:30 am, and now it's 7:20 am. I guess it gonna be a day with a lot of coffe at work. Much easier when we won the game though.
 
absolutely a very good game played in all facets (minus the PP again).. but what I loved the most, was that the Rangers even with a 2 goal lead CONTINUED TO PUT PRESSURE ON.. We didn't "sit"on the lead tonight. very encouraging effort tonight, the breakouts are much better so far as well.
 
So the 1-2-2 is working for you guys? Glad it is...it was horrendous in the west. For the love of your team I hope the East doesn't figure it out because that's what happened in Vancouver which was the demise of AV. Wanna cheer for you guys, but every time I see it...it's just makes me wanna throw something at the TV.
