6 goals on 16 shots is very uncharacteristic of this team. We're watching an entirely different team this weekend.

Edit: make that 7 on 18. Parsons should have come in looooong ago.

Tried to run the day off for as long as they could. Hopefully they don’t have tired bus legs tomorrow and can get 2.
 
Really when you look at the las 4-5 games the Rangers have been playing with fire defensively. Yesterday they played a great first and rang a few off the crossbar and Votary had a horseshoe up his butt. After the Attack kept the Rangers to the perimeter and took advantaged of poor defensive coverage which allowed to shorties by the same player on consecutive PPs. Today Malboeuf wasn't focused from the start allowing one goal every 3 shots. In saying this the Rangers never played well in front of him defensively again. Jussi has to get them tightened up in their end. All offense and no defense won't get you too far against stingy defensive squads in this league.

Not tryna jump the gun and might just be a off weekend, but are they coming back down to reality? Seems like Owensound, Saginaw, and Guelph have started to find their legs and I’ve found some concerns since the last Windsor game.

Storm didn't generate the shots the Rangers did today. They didn't need them. They were impressive in second and third period for sure. They have some talented speedy players on that squad.

Nah. It's still junior hockey. We know what this team can do, but we knew other teams were going to step up eventually. I think they'll be fine. Hard to do, but they just have to get on with the next game. You string together some wins again and suddenly it's "only lost twice in x amount of games". On to Flint.

I totally agree with Parsons should have come in. Guelph's starter had a rough game also.
They pulled him after the first.

With a three in three the Rangers shouldn’t have brought in Parsons early. Now the two options for tomorrow are either

A) go with Parsons three days in a row
B) go with Malboeuf again because Parsons will be tired

Unfortunately hanging Malboeuf out to dry would have been the best choice.

Can't imagine Parsons being that overworked from today. You go with Parsons tomorrow.

I didn't see if he came back, but he was bleeding from the head after the fight with Alriksson. It may have been concussion protocol.

Can't find it now but I saw a photo of him tweeted in the tunnel right behind the bench with a bandage wrapped around his finger and in street clothes in the third period.

Yeah, I don't like those fights where the helmets stay on. Personally, I don't like fighting in general but I saw too many punches connect with armour in this one.
