GDT: #8 - 02/02/2013 | New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning | 7:00 PM - MSG PLUS

[Placid]

Good period, lots of speed, very good defensively, and even a few offensive moments..

 

[ImIdaho]

The power play still sucked.

"This is one of the best periods the Rangers have had this season"

Speaks volumes about our season.[/QUOT

Wasn't bad, but they better pitch a shutout, 'cause they ain't scoring with the 2nd, 3rd or 4th line.

 

[Net Front Presence]

This has been fun to watch so far

agreed

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

If the team needs to score more (and they do) the coach needs to give the best chance to. Give Stepsn a player to play with. I don't care if its Gaborik or Nash. Give your top two lines some balance.

 

[ltsthinaz]

Need to stop looking for the perfect pass - drive to the net and shoot. Every goalie looks like the second coming of Patrick Roy against them.

 

[Maineice11]

Still feel we need to break up the top line.

They aren't scoring goals and no other line has a chance of scoring either

"stop coaching Pat!" hahaha

Good first period. Obligatory view from my seat.

Nice scoreboard.

 

[Dangleberry]

That scoreboard is huge.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Gotta break up Gaborik-Richards-Nash. They're not producing and the second line can't without a top player. Give both lines a chance and spread the wealth.

Gabs and Nash are working so well together, I think those two should stay together for now. Maybe try Stepan at 1c, get Richards' creativity and passing on the 2nd line. Could help Steps find his game too.

 

[BBKers]

So far all the punching bags had an OK first.
Gilroy, Asham, Rupp, Stralman, Bickel and Halpern all looked OK IMO, albeit Rupp & Asham are slow and do not really show that energy spark we need. Watch Asham go after Hedman now...

 

[charlie460]

It is huge. Unbelievably

 

[Jabroni]

Very good play so far.

Keep fore-checking and shooting. The goals will come.

This is change I can believe in.

That's an interesting and different thought.

 

[Dalagaze]

That was a pretty good period. Gotta keep it going, though. Don't let up in the 2nd.

 

[Maineice11]

Very good play so far.

TRU DAT!!!! Keep it going Rangers!!!

 

[Boruto]

keep it together, boys.

 

[ImIdaho]

11 SOG for the Rangers. Meaning we shoot more when we don't have the power play.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Come on Dugay, your coming into your late 50's. Time to get the hair cut and put away the hair dye.

no one would recognize him. He would lose all credibility.
