[LORDE]

Philly looks better of late... Need to bring our A game.

It would be nice if Clowe got back to potting 1 here or there.

Speak not of Clowe. We do not have players. We have a system.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Who will Clowe fight tonight? Man, seeing him go at it with Simmonds would be awesome!

 

[nevesis]

It would be nice if Clowe got back to potting 1 here or there.

Or how about how nice it would be if the people who we have on the roster who are supposed to score goals could actually pot a few. Secondary scoring is awesome!!!

Seriously. Anyone. Anyone at all.

Sullivan throwing the puck into the net from the bench would be acceptable at this point.

 

[Glennsoe]

Watch out for Simmonds..

And Mza better Get on the scoreboard..

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Bring it baby! We won't back down to Philly, lets get a lil win streak going, pick up some momentum just in time for the playoffs, get an infusion of skill and grit, push some pedestrians out of the line up, roll with Dorsett and Staal the rest of the way. Pyatt off this roster would work wonders. Just for the aesthetic department of the game, he looks brutal out there.

The second line made me laugh out loud, I would personally like to see more balance on the roster.

Hagelin-Stepan-Nash
Clowe-Richards-Zuccarello
Dorsett-Brassard-Callahan
Asham-Powe-Boyle

Staal-Girardi
McDonagh-Stralman
MDZ-Eminger
Moore

 

[Holocene]

Callahan, do something useful tonight, please. Other than PKing like a boss.

 

[MGF0723]

Making the trip to Philly for the game tonight. Center ice seats, 5 rows behind the penalty box, $125 a seat. Not too bad, haha. Always a good time in Philly even though the Flyers fans can make your night completely miserable.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Also Winnipeg has Tampa and Washington has Toronto, who is playing their 3rd in 4 nights. Plus all the teams we would want to see lose (OTT/NYI/WSH/WPG) are all at home.

Must win tonight against a tired Flyers team to stay with this pack. Guarantee we won't be getting much help on the scoreboard.

This is the only team that matters right now. We are in the playoffs, I can care less about what the teams in front of us do, only the teams behind us.

 

[GAGLine]

Saturday vs isles no?

Oops. Yes. Don't know where I got Thursday from. But still it's 2 days off between games. I could see Biron playing against florida and Hank playing against philly and buffalo.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Lets Go Rangers!!

[16 To Stanley*]

Third line is clearly the second line.

Brassard > Richards at this point.

 

[NYR Viper]

Hope it helps Brassard, Nash and Moore to have Mason playing against them. They have seen him a lot over the years in practice.

Except on faceoffs. Brass has struggled there since joining NYR and I'd prefer having Boyle on his wing taking faceoffs. Hagelin - Richards - Clowe.

Brassard has had one game since joining the Rangers with a faceoff percentage below 50

For real? Memory obviously played a trick on me then. My bad.

For real. You might just be remembering one game where he had an awful 23% or something. Other than that, he's been consistently above 50

 

[Hockey Team]

Damn, mason's starting.

I'd much rather have the BUM in net AINEC.

 

[Kane One]

Well since Bryzgalov has probably been their best player this season (maybe that has changed more recently), I'd rather have Mason in net, even with our backup goalie curse.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The Rangers are the rested team and just need to be solid defensively and play a solid first 40 minutes before unleashing hell in the third. The Flyers' wheels are going to fall off with tonight being the 4th game in 6 nights and the second in a back to back.

Scoring first would be wonderful. Taking a lead into the second and third would be ideal.

Would love to see Hags take another step tonight and Brassard build on what I thought was a good hard game against the Isles. I want to see more from Clowe, specifically around the net and showing more of an edge to his game. DZ is due.

On a side note: Would be awesome to get Dorsett and Staal back for 2-3 games next week. Two fresh bodies at this time, considering the types of games they play and how they'll fit into the structure of the team would be a big deal imo.

bryz might've been their best player in the first dozen or so games, but he's been horribad lately. He's 2.86 / .897 for the season. Mason's even better then that.

Not to mention, Mason's actually trying out there. Lately it looks like bryz doesn't even care anymore.

And here's how I view it..

Mason's a wild card. He could be great, or he could be horrible. But Bryz is a sure thing, you know he's going to be bad.

Bryz has been one of their best players this season. Their defense is awful and they have had a ton of injuries. Need to exploit them.
