The net is the same size as it always has been but they still can't seem to hit it on a regular basis.

The issue is the rule book isn't issued in braille.

About the best response you want after that first period. This team.
Much better second period. Just have to push through the third and have a nice bus ride home.

This one was a tough loss to Saginaw, after the comeback and the lead.
Lam,missle, and Romano overmatched tonight.

You cannot lose games against teams below you in the standings if you want to keep pace with the leaders in the conference.
Yes, that especially hurts after gaining the lead after being down 3-0.
A London win vs Windsor tomorrow, and a loss to London on Tuesday, will put the Knights 7 points up with two games in hand. That’ll close the book on any shot at 1st.

Saw something funny while watching Petes/Generals game. With about 3:30 left in the third of a 2-2 tie game, Bowen went to retrieve the puck on the side wall, wanting to backhand it behind his net to his D, he actually sent it across his crease onto the far post and it stayed out. It was kind of fun to see his reaction

Getting Luke Ellinas back will help push Lam down a line and add some more grit and goal scoring ability to the second line.
Realize it’s still probably a long shot, but do the Rangers still have a card open in case of Sale being loaned down to the OHL? I know the deadline is looming, but he put up another dud tonight playing 4th line minutes after getting benched again last night. He’s now 1 goal, 2 assists in last 18 games, after starting the season with 12pts in 13 games.
Not likely, but never say never when he’s 19 and still developing. Finishing 2 months off getting top line minutes and PP as opposed to getting in the lineup once every other game soaking up 4th line minutes. Seattle might wake up here, you never know.
I get what you are saying Even, but that is a tall order (not losing to teams below) when there is only one team ahead off you in the standings. First world problem??

Considering that I saw the Rangers in rebuild mode and in the bottom four this season, they are doing pretty good...

They are doing extremely well, fans have got to be proud of this team, considering many had them not making the playoffs in early fan polls

These road games are a grind for any team especially when you get to the 3rd game. Rangers still have a bunch of young players on the roster making it a challenge to win that last game. This is where the opposition can take advantage. Saginaw has the remnants of a Mem Cup championship. Regardless of their position in the standings they are a skilled well coached squad. Rangers managed to come back and make a game of it but just fell short in the end. Fixter said Saginaw controlled the game up until the score was 3-1 then the Rangers got their feet going.

Ya, I find it hard to complain even at some of these losses. I didn't see them having any shot at 1st and would have no problem really if they finished lower in the standings. A competitive playoff run and the highest draft pick possible while being able to accomplish the former, is all I'm after.
