GDT: ECSF #5 - 5/25/13 | New York Rangers @ Boston Bruins | 5:30 PM - NBC SPORTS, TSN

[Blueshirt Believer]

They've still been doing a decent job of exiting the zone tonight, don't you think?

Eh, its so so. Their transition/forecheck is a bit more effective. But, the breakouts are a so/so imo.

 

[Placid]

Overall an excellent first period. Really good effort.

 

[Black Aces]

Bruins mugging us. Ridiculous holding on Nash and MZA.

 

[trilobyte]

Girardi seems to be keeping his shots low.
Just goes to show, take the obvious well travelled road --- get open at the point, get a pass and hammer it.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Good period. Gotta keep it up, but this is nice to see for sure.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Great start. 10x better than I expected.

 

[haveandare]

Great start. Play 40 more minutes like that and they can pull this off. Kreider and Girardi look particularly sharp out there tonight, and Hank too obviously.

 

[haohmaru]

If we can sustain that for another 2 periods then we just might get back to MSG and make Boston nervous.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Del Zotto in Del Zaster form tonight again with all these turnovers

 

[Holocene]

Marchand really is such a little ******. Very good at his midget pest job.

 

[shoothepuck]

Keep it up in the 2nd and get the next goal.

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

Never doubt the prophet......LGR!!!!!!!!!!!

Sent from work.....

Eh, its so so. Their transition/forecheck is a bit more effective. But, the breakouts are a so/so imo.

At least I see them using a short passing game, it looks much more controlled.

 

[Fitzy]

Team is playing loose, so some chances against are to be expected.

I don't know how anyone can talk badly of Boyle right now.

 

[trilobyte]

Boyle being interviewed on TSN.

Good on ya, Brian!

 

[KingP]

need to come out and get that 2nd goal

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

oh TSN, could you find a shorter person to interview Brian Boyle?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

aye! lets do it!

Tegernsee Spezial Power!

 

[RangersFan]

leave

Relax there buddy. Just seems the way things are shaping up with him being so snake bitten and getting such great chances ones going to go in eventually for him.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

At least I see them using a short passing game, it looks much more controlled.

They aren't doing as many unnecessary lateral passes in the neutral zone(which is good). They are playing more straight ahead and not over thinking it.

Plus, they are less stationary on the transition and moving their feet.

But, on the breakouts, the Dmen are still slapping too many pucks along the wall. The Rangers are still daring the bruins to win the board battles along the half wall. That is not sustainable imo.

And, I think she was even standing on a chair, that's how tall BB is

 

[SA16]

Henrik looks great so far.
Like what I've seen overall though I am watching a pretty poor quality stream.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

At least I see them using a short passing game, it looks much more controlled.

Agreed. Poor decision making still, but it was a solid period.

 

[JohnC]

Why in the **** did they wait till now to play this way?

 

[Bardof425*]

The Bruins getting away with alot of stuff right now. Don't think they go the box until we do. Keep going boys.
