  • We're expeting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
I went to a few games last year, and I'm curious what the name of the song the team skated out to was? I don't know if it's the same song this year.
 
Sting tonight and one that the Rangers can't have a night off with. As they close in on the playoffs, every game deserves their attention to detail and solid effort. Take care of business and on to the next one!

Will we see any players rested? I would imagine Schaubel will get the nod.

Why would they take their foot off the gas and start resting players with 9 games left? Maybe the last weekend.

Any word on Lam? After he blocked that shot Tuesday night he didn’t return. He was in a lot of pain on the bench and when he finally hobbled off to the room it didn’t look good. I would be surprised if he’s playing tonight if he’s not 100% as there is no need to push it. The big thing coming down the stretch here is staying relatively healthy hopefully and playing really good consistent playoff style hockey. Playing some of the teams we are playing the final few games might actually be good as Owen Sound, Sarnia and Guelph are all pretty desperate and are going to give it everything they have. Means no easy games for us which is good so that we don’t develop and bad habits.

What do you think Jussi is calling them this intermission? I'm certain it's much worse.

I can almost guarantee a head coach isn’t name calling his players… what a terrible culture that would be.

Your favourite organization would be having flashbacks to just a few seasons ago if that were the case!

They're getting a reaming right now and probably would rather be called bozos than what's happening... not sure how many Jussi interviews you've heard...

Let's just hope the boys respond, have had many 3rd period comebacks, we'll find out if they have another one in them.

Nice to see they don't quit. Good on them for not yanking Schaubel, keeping him in and playing better the rest of the game to get the win should be a good confidence booster.

This team doesn't quit like past teams so I don't seem much point ragging on them until the game is over; mid game is too early when this team has a knack for comebacks. I also don't put a lot of stock into the rest of the games before the playoffs. I'll reserve harsher criticism for games that matter.

Already resting Parsons (weekend) off and Vermeulen was rested as well. Jussi says they have a plan and respectfully, he knows a bit ( a LOT) more about what to do and what not to do than we do.

Schaubel should have been pulled after that 3rd goal. Get Edwards a look.

Schaubel played a hell of a game for a goalie not yet 16. He didn't look good on that 3rd goal but neither did the Rangers around him. He made some excellent saves and kept the team in it in the 3rd when they finally switched on and pulled out an OT win.

Can play like bozos against a team like Sarnia for two periods, not going to get away with that against better talent.

And they showed they can play against "better" talent when they beat London.
