so tight, Win and 2nd in the East overall, a loss and getting too close for comport if Philly wins games in hand

True, but Philly plays the Isles tonight and still has 2 more games against the Pens left. Someone has to lose those games...

 

[Hire Sather]

The answer to our woes is to stop the lowercase vs CAPITAL LETTERS with the team names.

We aren't Washington.

 

[ponytrekker]

What are the chances we roll out the same lineup? I'm guessing we go back to the old defensive pairings and maybe a weird tweak to the forward group.

Anywho, Panthers can be a tough match up for us. They play up-tempo and if they can keep pressure up on our defense, we're going to see the same issues repeat themselves.

I just want to see our forwards and defense working as a 5-man unit. I don't care about the stretch passes and everything tonight. I want to see close puck support, breaking forechecks, and moving up the ice together. They have 10 games to get their **** together.

Panthers are really quick and gave the Islanders fits for 55 or so minutes.

You guys remember Oscar Lindberg?

Who? Oh you mean that guy who was preventing Tanner Glass from bringing the hammer every night?

I'm sure those will all be 3 point games.

 

[Irishguy42]

Looking forward to the game. Panthers are usually a fun game to watch.

Lets go Rangers!

Tuffness.

I mean, yes, the fourth line was probably the most impressive Rangers line in SJ, which says a lot about how the team played... but we're keeping Oscar out of the lineup to play Glass EVERY night? I'd play Lindberg over Hayes at this point, too.

I don't get it.

There are, IMO, obvious and easy ways to make the Rangers a better team with the personnel they already have in place that AV is seemingly ignorant towards.

Glass has unfortunately looked like one of the better Rangers out there lately. Say what you want about him but he's giving it every game and providing more scoring chances than half of this sorry line up lately.

I'd put Oscar in for Hayes at this point

 

[Raspewtin]

Glass being good is mostly irrelevant because Glass' good is still laughably low-reward and among the worst in the NHL anyway

He has been "good" lately though. For sure.

 

[Elevate]

At least the quotes are honest this time, I'm really fed up with the "we battled hard" ******** after complete no-shows.

if anyone's interested in a pre-game read. it's about how awful Dan Girardi is. you know, nothing we haven't heard before

LGR!

Stepan is leading this team in shots.

Let that sink in.

The first photo in my iPhone camera roll is of Al Montoya during warmups from September 28, 2007.

9 years flew by in the blink of an eye.

Maybe its time to get a new phone

Glass is still bad but in watching the rest of this team operate, I'm not entirely sure if I care about him anymore lirl.

The fact that we are even saying these things is evidence to how big of a problem we have.

 

[offdacrossbar]

the collective badness this team has shown lately is directly proportionate to the level of goodness shown by one tanner glass.

as the team looks worse, tanners badness seems lessened.

making him, in some perverse upside down reversal, look better.

so then, perhaps, he would be playing with eichel were he on buffalo ?

 

[NYRKING30]

The team really needs to show us all and more importantly themselves with a convincing win tonight. They don't have much time left at all.

Exactly, this 100%.

Let that sink in.

Not only is that bad because he's a pass first center, but he also missed 10 games with injury.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Not only is that bad because he's a pass first center, but he also missed 10 games with injury.

And he's slow
