Around the NHL Part VII

[EspenK]

Don't look now but Philly is the dark horse in the east.

I tend to agree. I thought they played well against Pitt on Sunday. They have offense, are physical and seem to be on a roll. Mase could be a big question mark though.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Tarasenko out six weeks.

Jaskin called up.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

We need VAN to win tonight since we're a wild card team now

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

1-0 bolts stamkos with the goal... cally with another assist

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

2-0 very lucky bounce for Tampa

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Cally with another assist makes me sad. 4 points in 5 games now?

I wouldn't be mad at the trade if it was a 1 for 1 trade but those picks are getting me frustrated now.

Can't wait to see what happens during the off season.

We sign cally in the off-season

So no more reseeding in the NHL playoffs? If they started today, we'd be playing through the Atlantic Division bracket? And can therefore meet a Metropolitan division foe in the ECF?

"For bracket play following Div. Semifinals, advancing Wild Card teams remain in division which they played during Div. Semifinal #StanleyCup"

i know a lot of fans of Rangers dont care if they fight or not but what if this happened vs Rangers..







this just proves Rangers need to get bigger and tougher..

Yeah definitely proof no doubt about it.

Great job by the Jets fighting. That and their overall toughness has really helped them stay alive in the West race.

Or they have completley fallen out of it and their season is over.

just think though, what if someone did that to the Rangers.. you think anyone would be scared of Zuccarello Dorsett or Carcillo


soft and big players that play small dont advance in the playoffs.. in the playoffs you need grit skill heart, emotion.. Rangers dont have 3 of those skills.

im not talking about fighting and being a goon. im talking about a team sticking up for each other.. some Rangers fans dont remember that this team used to do that. heck they dont even stick up for Lundqvist, let the opposition wack at the goalie more than once i guess some fans rather the team turn the other cheek, and skate away..


i guess some Rangers fans want to see this


not only do their goalie gets wacked at and the Canucks dont do anything, they also dont defend themselves.. one reason i didnt want AV. he seems to preach this

Do you even realize that Blake Wheeler is probably the softest big man in the NHL?

Nope, if a player has size and he doesn't hit or fight, he's not a winner. We get it.

Frederik Andersen is 6'4" 230, he doesn't fight. Useless!

 

[Hire Sather]

You say you aren't talking about fighting yet you always link to fights or scrums.

We need more strength and size but only to be more tougher on the puck and better along the boards. All the other ******** doesn't matter.

Or we just need the guys who do have size (Rick, Kreider) to play a tougher game than they do. Be harder on the puck. I don't care if they punch or "stick up for their teammates"

if you are a "leader" and dont stick up for your own teammates, to me that is an issue and you should not be a leader. Rangers need another Shannahan type leader.. a guy willing to make a statement when it is the right time during the game by a hit, blocked shot, fight, goal, thrash talking etc..... im sorry but id rather take a team that sticks up for each other, than skate away and not care.. so when Rick Nash got his bell rung by Stuart in a 9-2 loss earlier in the year, you thought it was a good thing that no one stuck up for Nash..

 

[Cassano]

Tarasenko out six weeks.

Jaskin called up.

Another reason to have drafted McIlrath.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Andrew Shaw scored Hawks 1-0 over Flyers


big fan of Shaw. good find in the 5th round in the 2011 draft.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

2-0 Duncan Keith scored.....

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Hartnell cuts the lead now 2-1 Hawks

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Brookbank Rinaldo fight

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

C'mon chicago

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Damn, Bickell just beat the living crap out of Simmonds. Love it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Flyers / Hawks is chippy as ****.

Versteeg just threw Coburn's stick across the ice, LOL.

 

[aufheben]
