Jack Edwards is much worse than Sam in terms of keeping up with the play. Jack literally can't make the call on any plays that happen quickly (which in hockey is 75% of the time). He really does sound like he had a stroke.
No MSG Post Game Show to this point.

15 OTL points. That team should be outside the bubble fighting to get the last wild card spot.
They need to remove the tie point.
Yeah by a huge margin. Sam's just old, he sometimes can't keep up with the play and trips over his words when he gets excited. Nothing out of the ordinary for a guy who is 76. Misidentifying players is something he has been doing for two decades, LOL, so that's not even age.
Edwards on the other hand has some sort of legitimate medical issue, he has said himself. I've always hated him as a Bruins announcer but I have very fond memories of him calling USMNT games. And I don't doubt for a second he's a good human being. It's hard to listen to him at this point. It was last season or possibly even two seasons ago and I remember asking on here if something was wrong with him and a lot of people were like, no he's just a jackass, thinking I meant what he was actually saying. A couple people chimed in that it did seem like something was off. Now it's incredibly apparent every night and he sounds really bad. I hope the guy figures out what it is and that it doesn't end up affecting anything other than his speech.
Right now, and I'm not trying to make light of it, but he sounds like when you're that special kind of drunk where it's not even that you're slurring your speech, but that you can't even get half of the words to come out without fighting it.

I think there is something going on physically with Kreider. He doesn't seem right. I seem to remember he took a weird spill in the offensive zone I think against Winnipeg. He wasn't hit or anything. Just took a odd spill when he was turning near a corner. Maybe he's just trying to battle through something considering the team is already down two big players in the lineup and there is still plenty to play for. But if needs to take time off to heal up then they need to do it.

I didn't even care we lost to Winnipeg. I TRADED that loss for a win against Boston, with the hockey Gods. Go ahead, tell me I don't LOVE my Rangers and our fans.
Missed this one last night so caught it this morning.
That was an absolute dismantling of a pretty good team. Boston got next to nothing generated over the last 2 periods. I really hope Kreider is saving it for when they play for keeps. He's really fighting it now so its even more apparent but the effort at best has been 80% on a good night this year with him. I can forgive a rough stretch where the puck just isn't doing what you want it to do because that happens to nearly everyone. I cannot forgive the lack of effort or urgency that has been there in his game pretty much all year.
There are handful of guys I'd give some time off once they clinch a spot. Hes at the top of that list.

This is something Bobby Heenan would say to annoy Gorilla too. "Look at this Zibanejad, he's better 5v6 than he is 5v5! He's beating six guys!"

Let's just hope when th PO's roll around, that every team will be focused on Tro line. Zibby and Kreider will then make a difference? Usually it's the 3rd and 4th lines that do. We can do that as well. Anyone imagine Cuylle won't have game?

Oh yeah. When he sticks to calling the game Sam is a good listen.
My problems w Sam are when he & Joe have gratuitous conversations when the game is going on. Or when he talks about something that already happened ("that was a good play because he xxxxx") while there is new stuff happening right now that negates it.

This is a slap to the face of Montreal and French Canadians.

Glad you mentioned him, I was gonna. That MAN is so funny! I don't even think he means to be.
His accent, his expressions, his analysis, I can't remember what he said that had me loll'ing. Might re-watch to share here. Annoying is his pronunciation of Zibby. It's Zibanajaaad.
Gave him a star. Amazing defensive plays and the goal was a lucky but even still. Nice fit for us.

I thought the same thing last night because he wasn't even moving sometimes and definitely wasn't engaging on the defensive side. Playing almost like a beer league forward waiting to be sprung for a breakaway.

@majordomo added non "chopped liver" Jonesy and I might mention that physically abused Lindgren (the heart) is all of 26 himself
Old man Trouba is all of 30.
No, we need to take the title. They've had it what?......3 years running? Sorry, I want it and even more I want REVENGE with Tampa. Many, many reasons for that. We should've gotten McD back, so he can win another.
Great to watch the young guys in this one.
Especially Schneider and Zac Jones.

They're all holding hands in unification at the top of the Empire State Building. I saw them.Another big win. We've been playing great but I feel like I've lost my purpose on here.It's been weeks since I had to talk several of you guys off the ledge !

How stupid are the other GM's? He obviously has improved during his time off, and is better than what we originally imagined, but no one could have seen this coming, except for those who worked with him. If he were 6'3" and 240 he would remind me of Al Iafrate. Damn, I didn't like that guy when he had the puck.

Yea they did tests on him and found nothing. But in all likelihood, he has some sort of brain cancer or disease that will be detected eventually.

Me too, but you can only be as good as your partner allows. Schneids seems to be the total team player imo. Whatever it takes, so I guess he's been "held down" playing 3rd line minutes all this time? He's made the jump, NOW they know what he can handle. Trouba really may become expendable when the time is right.
Want to keep Lindgren though, even though he's a definite liability. Love the guy.
