GDT: #40 - 12/29/13 | New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning | 7:00 PM - MSG

[Samuel Culper III]

Nash and Gudas will be going at it in the third. Wonder if Nash will push back.

This is great hockey, I love it. Wow. And its NYR!

 

[Placid]

Definitely the best period in a long while.

 

[DoTheBlue]

2 goal lead going into the third ..... no excuses

 

[Ail]

I'm confused. I thought The RANGERS were playing tonight.

Amazing what scoring can do for a team...

Not even just scoring. They just look solid all-around tonight.

First time in a long time. You know it's legit when I have nothing to complain about.

 

[slipknottin]

Yes there is.

DZ has had two good years and looks comfortable on the left side when given consistent playing time.

Moore was good last year but has been a colossal underachiever sans that.

Have you watched DZ play recently? He's brutal. He is going to be traded soon or be put in the press box. He isn't a player they are going to move forward with.

I could give a crap what he did a year or two ago

 

[mike14]

wow, cool period. Having a functioning PP is fun, who knew?

 

[Oak]

Definitely the best period in a long while.

Ya such a joy to watch some good and exciting hockey played by our team.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Did Nash just accidentally knock someone over?

Something is wrong when Zucc is carrying this team on his back

Fair enough, I guess, as short-sighted as that is.

I just think if it comes down to trading Moore and DZ for the same package, you move Moore every time.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

One more goal now before the end of the period would make me feel better

Ok then maybe at the start of the 3rd period

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Oh, are we about to have a Moore vs. Del Zotto debate?

They've both been ****, but Moore can skate, and if you can skate, there's always something you can do

Del Zotto's skating issues are overblown, and despite being 3 inches smaller than Moore he's still stronger and wins more puck battles. He's a better passer, too.

Guy's been good since being given time on the left side, he's been solid for about 8 games now. I guess people just have super high expectations for him, but he's been far from terrible. Falk/Moore have been terrible, and Staal has struggled mightily.

 

[Kakko]

Nash undressed

edit: literally

CBC said last night that a trade was imminent

 

[slipknottin]

You guys must be watching a different player if you think DZ has been good recently.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

My take on the Moore vs. MDZ debate: Both suck terribly and if the current versions of either of them have a long term future with the Rangers I will put my nutsack in a meat grinder.

For both of them changes needed to be made to their games or changes will be made.

 

[Wolfy*]

Does Zuccarello deserve an A? To me he looks like a leader, both on and off the ice. And he's the King of our PP

 

[member 116805]

all I can say, Akkevitt solves all problemes. good ones and bad. Hoppla! I love NYR! >D

McD deserves an A before Zuccarello

Congrats on your first post not about Lundqvist.

12/29/2013. Never forget.

Agreed.

 

[ThisYearsModel]

Allen looks good out there. Calm with the puck and moves it quickly.

Funny, if you take into consideration chances against I wouldn't say that we've played much better if at all than we did against the Caps. We just couldn't cash in then and our goaltending let us down.
