Post-Game Talk: Coyotes at Rangers 3/24/14

[Gardner McKay]

Well, to be fair, we hate on Emerick. But only about his actual (poor) job commentating.

Am I the only Rangers fan who likes Doc?

Nah, there are a few that like him.

Boyle-Moore-Dorsett. What a ******* game from those guys. Exactly what you need from your 4th line. Might not have scored, but gave the team energy that they needed.

they kept so much pressure on PHX the entire game... these 4 need to stick... Dare I say, I think I saw more chemistry with them than Carcillo

 

[PromNite]

That goal was on a set play, guys. Full credit to MacTruck to finish it, but give credit to AV too.

 

[Khris Creider]

Mac-Truck, Girardi, Moore are my 3 stars

 

[TheDirtyH]

Great Game.

 

[haveandare]

Yeah I can see that...

They likely knew exactly what the players were suffering from, and I'm sure they put thought into whether it was wise to have them near other players or have them play tonight. They had complete information and are doctors, I'm personally going to trust them on this one.

They were great. People forget that they were basically our most consistent line for a long time up until Dorsett got injured.

They work very well as a three man unit.

 

[The Gloaming]

Ryan McDonagh should fire his agent. That contract is a thing of beauty for us. Not for him. But I'm not complaining.

Almost 3 hours later and I can't wipe this smile off my face. Great win, however, face-offs will be a huge problem for us in the coming weeks (and hopefully playoffs). At some point, Stepan needs to be able to win some face-offs otherwise we'll be seeing a lot more of Brian Boyle which is definitely not promising.

Dom Moore had a great game. His line was good as a group too, but he was flying out there.

97.4% chance of making the playoffs per http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html

I like him alot actually.

 

[Inferno]

You have to wonder if he'll get any Norris Consideration. Top 10 in goals by a defenseman (or is it top 5 now?) Top 10ish in points. And easily top 10 in his own zone if not top 5.

I'm a medical student, that's why I reacted because this was stupid.

AV said they have the stomach flu but were allowed to play because they wanted to? That's no way, at this level, and their doc should know better.
And it didn't work very well, did it...

Also they don't seem to know how contagious this virus is.

Easily top 5 defensively.

I'd argue he's also top 10 offensively (and getting better with each passing game).

I think he'll be top 5 in voting. He doesn't have the credentials to win it outright yet (not where Subban and Karlson scored a bajillion points).

 

[ltsthinaz]

IMO the Rangers are the 2nd best team in the East. Only Boston can touch their defense and collective goaltending.

You are correct. I like Philly's forwards, but don't trust their defense and goaltending.

Nice, where do you go to medical school?

 

[darko]

I think Keith still has the Norris in the bag, but if McD can have games like this down the stretch, then it could get interesting.

This.

McD has no what 5-7 in 14 game after the break. Beast mode.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Am I the only Rangers fan who likes Doc?

nope. i was hoping he would take over for JD when he left. i also like Darren Pang too. Bill Clement is another one i dont mind same for Keith Jones... and i do like Daryl Reaugh a lot. reminds me of those NHL 90 videogames and i do like those guys who does the Sharks broadcast.

i cant stand Chico Rech, Milbury, McGuire, Goring and that annoying guy for the Sabres.

Do you know what you will specialize in?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

McDonagh is literally god.

That is all.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

McDonagh is in beast mode and should at least get a nomination, but i will literally **** my pants if he beats out Keith for Norris.

 

[darko]

So when will nj be officially in golf mode?

I think they are done. 5 point behind Detroit and Toronto. Still have to leapfrog Washington and Columbus. 10 games left.

Was reading the Devils board the other day. They don't feel they have a chance. And I'm talking about next year too.
