why is my name here?
Well, They couldn't beat the pens and we took 3 of 4 pts from them following, By logic this should be a cake walk

Not sure what Asham and JVR have to do with Kessel?
coming back into the zone, (skating towards Hank) JVR and Asham are to McD's left, Kessel to his right.
When the pass got through I immeadiately thought "Why did McD stop skating" It looked like he slowed up.
Just looked at it again and McD clearly held up enough for that pass to have gotten through.

Quoting for hilarity. Seriously?
Again, really? In what world is Callahan a 3rd line player? The guys is a legitimate top-6 RW on pretty much any team in the league.
Callahan has been fine. You're over-reacting to (1) game.
Agreed.
Saturday could also be the Rangers most dominating win of the season! See what I did there? I predicted the future too.
Why do you watch this team play? Seriously.

Exactly
I did, that's why I chose it.
Leaving your goalie out to dry by pulling up was the bad choice that resulted in the goal.

Dolan sucks!!!
Kreider wasn't very good in his first stint. It didn't help Kreider was playing with a foot injury. He was better in his second stint. Holding onto the puck. Making plays. Playing with an edge. The Rangers are really up against it. They don't have time to deal with growing pains when every play is so huge in 48 game season. Playoffs are a different animal. Boston and Pitt have many injuries to key players. The Rangers can beat Washington. Its always the same people complaining.
Yeah...OK...Cally is just better than him at checking, scoring, stick handling, PK, PP, and everything else...
Right, he read a pass other than to the goal scorer closest to the goal.
Wasn't like it was a 3 on 1.

The Rangers are 4-1-1 in the past 6...
I can use magical borders too.
They don't exactly have a difficult schedule down the stretch here. They're tied with the Isles in points and every other game is against teams that are below them in the standings. 5-2-1 should be pretty likely and good enough to get them in.
Nope, no contradiction.
Plenty of mediocre teams ride a hot goaltender, or turn it on late. The Kings were playing mediocre heading into the playoffs last year.
They are 4-1-1 btw.

Hold my baby, man.
Someone probably already mentioned this, but Nash (not really a surprise) and Stepan are both in the top 30 in points.

Pardon me for my continued amazement. I've never seen a bigger collection of glass half empty folks in my life. It continues to take me by surprise.

I wonder how many goals Callahan could score if he had Crosby centering him.
Nah, scratch that. Sidney is siphoning off of Dupuis. What a loser.

Then I'm the one caught being glass half empty on the fan base. My mistake. So much negativity around here this season I get confused sometimes.

Based and Rangerspilled.
Again, you said the same thing but now in a different way. "Heading in to the playoffs" is not the same as IN in the playoffs. They were not mediocre in the playoffs, at all. Big difference.
4-1-1 and the most "impressive" win was against a tired and injured Pens team right after two big trades. But yeah, I know, I should be super appreciative and happy with mediocrity rather than point out what needs to improve before the playoffs. It's great they're staying afloat here but if anyone is convinced the way this team is playing right now will get them anywhere notable in the playoffs you are delusional. They have to be better, it's that simple.

Most people rejected his message
Dupuis was 7th in the NHL in ESP/60 last year in a shutdown role when Crosby only played 22 games. He had no consistent linemates that year, but usually played with Staal, Cooke, and Sullivan who weren't close to his level of production. He was also one of the leagues premier defensive forwards.
Dupuis > Callahan at even strength ANIEC.
Dupuis is a millionaire's Hagelin.
I'm glad the Kings beat the Devils last year, but I hate it at the same time.
Now the 'Kings won it as the 8th seed' will be used to shade out the mediocrity within the organization.
They've had maybe 2-3 games where they look like a dominant team in a 40 game season so far.
61 goals last 3 years playing on a stacked team, not impressed, cally's much better
