Heard on NHL network that Khudobin is getting the start for the B's in Newark tonight. ****. Doesnt mean the Devils will win, but even if its a tad easier, that sucks from the Rangers perspective.
Doesnt it seem like the Rangers just arent getting the bounces this year? Theres only so much you can control. Last year they seemed to run into teams at the right time - coming off wins where maybe they were over confident, beginnings of losing streaks... there was some kind of study done somewhere suggesting the Rangers got a vast amount of "good bounces" on the ice as well. (though I dont know how it is measured or validated).
Seems like the opposite this year. Running into hot goalies, hitting posts, injuries... Hey it happens. Its a year to year thing. But because the Devils suck so bad, the Bruins want to rest Rask. Yet they are still hanging on. Go away debbies, Go AWAY.
Then again, the B's might buckle down on D even more and totally choke out the Debs. Kuhdobins had a good year.
