[ColonialsHockey10]

Awesome period!

Loving the Rangers play tonight. Very intelligent hockey.

 

[highandwide]

Dorsett with the effort tonight.

 

[Holocene]

Good period.

 

[trilobyte]

Dorsett looking like Gretzky, except for the puck in the net.

Just kidding. What an excellent effort by Dorsett and his linemates tonight.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

MSL and Nash have been good. Stepan has been completely invisible, maybe still not feeling well.

Steps still looks a bit sluggish. I'm guessing he's not 100%.

 

[GraveyTrain9]

how does this coaching staff continue to fail at correcting Nash's habit of turning his back to the defenders?

do they just completely ignore it during video sessions?

 

[Kakko]

Man. Sounds like the Garden is rocking tonight.

The one game I miss...

 

[TGWL]

Has Nash's butt move ever worked?

Eh, not really, but it's still a better move then turning it over, dumping it wide, or getting his shot deflected up in the air.

 

[justanomade]

1: Hank
2: Dorsett
3: McD

So far.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Dorse must have been reading this board.

No redhead b****! If it is your salad, why aren't you eating it?

Because it's not a bad habit?

It's not easy to beat a defender 1 on 1.

The butt move generally allows him to get a shot off

 

[aufheben]

Nash needs to watch some Jagr tapes or something.

 

[ponzu4u]

Loving Dorsett this game. He's been real good lately.

Lundqvist balling hard.

McDonagh... awesome.

 

[Fitzy]

Man. Sounds like the Garden is rocking tonight.

The one game I miss...

Not according to Doc, who felt the need to take a shot at the Garden crowd.

 

[trilobyte]

Jagr has always had far more effective butt moves than Nash.
Of course, Jagr was a monster on the puck all around.

 

[KingP]

Hank looks so good tonight

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It's not easy to beat a defender 1 on 1.

Agreed. I like it. Why would you want him to stop it?

 

[nikonsniper*]

Do you guys only notice goals? MSL and Nash have looked good. One of MSLs beat games as a ranger so far

We didnt trade for MSL for moral victories. He's here to score goals and assist others to do so.

 

[GraveyTrain9]

I have to disagree. Seems like he turns it over half the time & he'd be better served going hard to the net like the power forward that he is.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Also, is anyone else STOKED about a Girardi/McD pairing for the foreseeable future?

So glad that they re-signed G.

 

[aufheben]

McDonagh's like: Claude Giwho?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I have to disagree. Seems like he turns it over half the time & he'd be better served going hard to the net like the power forward that he is.

He wouldn't be better served at all trying to go through someone to the net. He mainly does that if there is a defender in front of him.

 

[TGWL]

Girardi had a rough 30 games to start the season but he's really turned it around. And people thought we were going to give this guy up for a lousy first round...

 

[highandwide]

I understand the butt move to protect the puck.. but.. EVERY TIME? CMON.
