Post-Game Talk: Devils vs Yankees...err, I mean Rangers

[Hunter Gathers]

For someone taken in the top 4 in that draft, he hasn't exactly set the world on fire. He was supposed to be one of the kids from that draft that was supposed to step right in to the lineup. How much of it is impatience by DeBoer?

Not much. Most of it is him just being a mediocre player.

 

[The Gloaming]

Well, obviously.

They are beyond stacked at D with Gelinas, Merrill and Urbom, 3 total studs. They also have Damon Severson who didn't make Canada because he was too good.

And don't even get me started on Brandon Burlon.

Don't forget that future hall of famer Santini will be joining them soon.

Dude's from my hometown. Leave him alone.

Much like Tim Erixon, who was being discussed in another thread, I still have faith that Larsson will develop into a fine player. As is often the case, though, people fail to understand how difficult a young defenseman's development path can be. And obviously the predictions of perennial all star nominations were ****ing ridiculous.

 

[Tawnos]

Worth noting that the Rangers offense is out of the bottom-10 for the first time this season...

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I think it's a disservice to the Rangers fans that went to the game. They should have had the Rangers goal song too.

Agreed, really thought they would have played both.

This also puts them into the positive goal differential for the first time this year

Hey, I play beer league on their family rink in Brewser. He is a great kid from great family.

 

[Cassano]

Feel pretty happy for the Rangers fans that went.

Must've had a helluva time. Very jealous.

On the penalty shot goal he literally doesn't say anything for over 2 seconds after the puck goes in.

"We had a penalty shot attempt last night in Los Angeles, it was not scored on................this one was. 7-3."

He doesn't even say the word "score".

Probably had trouble picking it up.

 

[Tawnos]

They're actually even. A lot of standings include the "goal" earned by a team in a shootout win as an actual goal. Currently, they've scored and allowed 136 goals.

 

[bmoak]

IIRC, this is the first time this season the Rangers have had a positive GF/GA differential.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Probably had trouble picking it up.

Vision is diminished by tears right?

 

[The Gloaming]

I just hope that the Rangers show the same type of awesomeness on Wednesday when I go to the game.

Was at the stadium, was a fun atmosphere. Cold as ****.


Glad they pulled it out. There were actually slightly more devils fans there IMO, but didn't matter after the first thank god. I walked the stadium the entire game, plenty of open seats. Probably 70% capacity, maybe less.

Tough to analyze each teams game. You could tell the goalies were fighting it. It was just a weird thing for them. It was a big surprise seeing the snow, but it was a blast.what a second. Awesome that Marty blew it. Couldn't stop a bowling ball

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Doc Emerick's wet dream view?

Channeling Marv Albert....

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Just got back. Wow that was a fun experience.

Snow falling in the 2nd was so perfect.

Only gripe: I know it's cold, but people take your damn hats off during the national anthem. Drives me nuts.

Thank you. Was thinking the same thing. where were you?

Yup, mentioned the empty seats in the Yankee Stadium thread.

I think Wednesday is going to be even worse because the Devils put in a pretty decent showing. I don't think as many Isles fans are going to go and I also don't see a lot of Rangers fans going to both.

 

[darko]

Hideki Zuccarello? He should be Dustin Pedroia or Jose Altuve.

Scoring a touchdown on Uncle Daddy <3

Romo to wide open Dez Bryant.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Gotta say though, walking in, with it being so cold and such a big game... And seeing that rink in the middle of the stadium with all of the snow... One of the best sports experiences of my life.

With the snow starting to come down unexpectedly and the Rangers lighting them up in the second. One of the best stretches of Rangers hockey I've ever had the pleasure of being in attendance for. Glad I brought the flasks lol

 

[darko]

There were more devils fans, but rangers fans are "better and louder."

Also something about Marty being old.

That's awesome. Never was a fan of Mac but love him for saying that.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Thank you. Was thinking the same thing. where were you?

I was all the way up in 423. Was worried it was going to be a bit too far away but it was a great watch actually. Cool experience.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Oh! And good for Dom Moore scoring the first goal. Happy for him.
