If we net the next I'll feel relatively safe we'll win this. What a great road period. I really really hope Brassard just needed some ice on the shoulder

 

[Petey Pucks]

You do realize he has dislocated both shoulders, right? Left in the QMJHL in 2006 and right in the NHL in 2008.

Both shoulders have been surgically repaired. No idea what you and nevesis are talking about.

I was talking about nevesis having to reiterate his point that seemed to be falling on deaf ears

 

[nevesis]

Habs are going to come out much better next period. We better be ready for the onslaught. Rally around Brassard being out.

Lets go boys.

 

[kvakklunch]

Same. Absolutely hate it.

I'd keep McD and Richards on the whole PP.

For the love of god. Keep Beaver off the pp. He is so horrible, my eyes bleed when he fumbles the pucks around the ice.

Another thing I dont like. I dont like Zuccarellos position in the middle of the ice. He rarely gets the puck, cant use his playmaking skills. He should handle it more.

 

[truebluegoalie]

I live in northern Virginia and decided to go to a "sports restaurant" called glory days to watch singe of the game. They have a ton of TVs but wont put the game on the big screen at the bar because sometime is apparently watching college softball and that is on the big screen instead...unbelievable


Because its the cup..........

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Is this serious? I don't know anything about injuries and I'm getting a little worked up...

It may be. He dislocated both shoulders multiple times as a kid. The left shoulder has been dislocated more, as far as I know. The surgery seemed to fix it for a long time (same when the right was surgically repaired. So I have no idea if it will be serious or not.

But he's had shoulder problems since he was 13 or so.

Yes take the guy who scored the series winner on the PP off the PP.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I was talking about nevesis having to reiterate his point that seemed to be falling on deaf ears

And you realize his point was wrong, correct?

 

[johnmd20*]

These Ranger players must have felt like they got a month vacation after the rest they have had the past three days. It's a well earned rest and it's showing.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

The Rangers need the next goal, if there is one.

 

[trilobyte]

So according to Don Cherry obvious hooks shouldn't be called because playoffs.

Through the regular season, I've had some real problems with what they call a hook. Laying your stick across the opponents' hands without impeding his progress, well I just think it is weak, no matter who it is called on. It should be more of a judgement call, in my opinion.

Just make it consistent, but still I don't like all the hooks called.

 

[Raspewtin]

Is this serious? I don't know anything about injuries and I'm getting a little worked up...

Yeah he's had multiple surgeries on both shoulders.

He tore one (or both?) in a fight against James Neal his rookie year, was never the same since.

 

[haohmaru]

The guy has some serious skill for a fourth liner. Rangers need to pay him handsomely to keep him. That kind of passing from a 4C is unreal, and the guy fills every other responsibility of a 4C.

This guy is making $1M this year. $1M! One of the best value contracts for a bottom six guy I've seen in a while. Probably ever in my time watching this team.

You can add Zuke to that list of value contracts, but, yeah, if I'm Sather I'm working on D. Moore, MZA, Pouliout, and Brass right now. Winning teams win by keeping teams that have success together. There's really no reason to lose any of those four guys.

 

[Petey Pucks]

And you realize his point was wrong, correct?

that was why I said haha...it was in jest...calm down man

Another thing I dont like. I dont like Zuccarellos position in the middle of the ice. He rarely gets the puck, cant use his playmaking skills. He should handle it more.

He's been the best player on the pp all playoffs leading the team in shots, goals and points.

haha the Glory Days down here in the Baltimore Annapolis area is great with putting the hockey games on the big TV actually

This is brassard we are speaking of?

I agree with that point. Doesn't apply here however. Those were clear cut hooks.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Any updates on Twitter about Brass?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Nothing on twitter about Brassard?

Nothing yet on Brassard's status. Clearly looked like he aggravated his back issue. Left practice on April 15 with back problem.

Are you the only guy in the place?

If you are, RUN!

Well, at least it isn't the shoulder.

 

[truebluegoalie]

So according to Don Cherry obvious hooks shouldn't be called because playoffs.

I thought the second hook was weak I have never liked the almost automatic penalty for a parallel stick.
