Looked bad and him putting no weight on it looked bad...

But DAMN, when he finally got to head down the tunnel, a few minutes later... and still wasn't even close to thinking about putting any weight on it... Looks real bad. Uggg.

If he's done for the year wouldn't that free up some serious rental $$?

But that Rangers goal, that was just good ol fashioned hard work and elbow grease, you make your own luck, that was well deserved.

Kings just stole two points with the luckiest shot ever. Poor Raanta, team just let him down, he can't carry them by hi....oh wrong guy, never mind, Raanta's fault the Rangers lost a game they deserved to win.

Yep, that was my exact thought. And the way he hyperextended it...no weight = horrible.

Not expecting him back at all. and we can't even get a guy on the next flight unless we send Budaj back haha. Playing short on Sunday morning...THEN we'll see Mersch imo. Or Kempe? Mersch.

Either way huge two points, needed that. Need health too. And need to put together a streak like NOW.

If it's a bad as it looks he could be on LTIR before Sunday and we make a call up. But we won't play short we have players on the roster that are sitting in the pressbox.
 
Our D blows, but glad we got a win out of this mess. Kopi in full beast mode. Hope Gabby is okay.

McNabb needs to be off the top6. He just doesnt make good reads. Constantly getting beat.

Pretty much, but what are the options? Doughty is the only other Dman he can play with, because he sure as **** shouldn't be paired with Schenn or McBain.

So much fail!
 
Has Martinez looked off lately? A little bit slower, a bit off his game from where he was earlier in the season. Is the increase in minutes tiring him out?

I hope Quick isn't out too long or DL may have to look for another goalie, Budaj won but looked slow and Enroth didn't look that great last night (the entire team looked bad but Enroth didn't help much)

Gravel has looked decent so far, sheltered minutes but so far so good. Took a solid hit but jumped right back up and joined the play.
 
This felt like a 90s era Kings game where the offense bailed out a porous defense.

Brayden McNabb is the new Charlie Huddy, he could barely skate. Any movement requiring him to turn around results in McNabb being flat footed.

Kopitar sure is earning his dollars isn't he?
 
Found a way to win despite themselves. Kopi is a beast. Had to listen at work. Can't wait to watch the highlights. Not sure how a team that's 100% salty can get any more salty, but we're sure as hell pushing that limit.
 
The Rangers had a goal go off Lecavalier, the Kings had a goal go off Klein. Hockey evens out over time.

Going to need more of that from Pearson.

Man, I was ALMOST gonna say I felt more comfortable with Budaj in then Enroth. I still like Enroth as a backup, but only as a backup who gets a select few full games. We have already seen a few of his games get ugly, not completely on him... But not despite him either.

But as the Rangers announcer pointed out, the goal where McNabb net Doughty get stupid... Budaj needs to get his stick on that. The one that goes 5-hole? He is just holding his stick, not positioning it... Its just floating wherever it ends up from how he is holding his blocker when it should on the ice covering the 5-hole that was scored on. The pinball... OK tough one, but there was time and space for him to get the butt of his stick in there and stop the puck from going over the line, and you could almost see him having to think to realize that rather then just doing it. He got his stick caught up in the net and couldn't get it in time.
2 of those are a bit of a stretch, but a better goalie would have done. The 5 hole was all him doing it wrong. I dunno, get well Quick.

I've been saying Martinez has looked off.

I think Martinez is suffering from having to carry a guy in bigger minutes.

I agree bigtime on Gravel, that play impressed me. Took the hit, got steamrolled, was still somehow first guy back to break up that play.
