Replace Malone with Fast and you have a winner. Fast will be AHl though so replace him with a plug in as the healthy scratch. Fast or Hayes first callup depending on the position.

What a game.. The Rangers are so good against the Hawks. They beat them both times in the regular season and preseason. I know the playoffs are totally different but man do I wish the Hawks made it to the Final instead of the Kings.

By far Zuccarello's best preseason game.
Boyle is surprisingly agile.
Drunk McDonagh > other defensemen.
Kostka looked much better. But Hunwick even better.
Hayes is still a step out of the NHL, but that step will take him straight to a high level.
Kreider looks much more controlled in skating. More agility to his speed.
MSL at center works. Especially with 2 big guys (refuse to believe Duclair is 5'11) going right into the circle after puck drop.
Lundqvist looking solid.

that's what happens when Plebians can afford lower bowl seats because of preseason
Back to the stiffs on 10/12
soooooo assuming Duclair makes the team is kinda premature without them moving a contract right?

Yes, but still, I am so not ok with that game he just played. But it's McDonagh, so I'm far from worried.
I'm a Rangers fan. I want to get rid of the shootout.
Sure, it can sometimes be fun to watch. But it isn't hockey. It is a skills competition. And skills competitions shouldn't determine who does or doesn't get a point. I would rather have 3on3 before the shootout.

I wouldn't say Malone was god awful but he wasn't looking very good until he tied the game with a really nice redirect.
Personally I like Hunwick over Kostka by a pretty decent margin. I'd play Dylan tomorrow and see what he can do but right now I'm thinking it's going to be Hunwick as the 7th d.
I know some are calling Hayes the shiny new toy. I like how he handles and controls the puck. I like how he uses his body to protect the puck and he's not playing shy. There's some things he can get better at but for the puck possession people this guy looks like he's going to be really good in the future. He makes power forward moves somewhat akin to Jagr. He gets the puck--looks for room and makes nice plays.
St. Louis as a center if he's not going to win any face-offs is not going to work for very long.
Glass by the way made another very nice play to Hayes that Kevin shot wide. Just saying.
Miller, Fast, Duclair, Hayes all played well tonight. I like all of them.

Is that user Charlie still on these boards? Maybe he can upload a clip of the fan incident from the broadcast for us....
I swore the guy was wearing a #24 Malone jersey... Which would make sense why the MSG production crew decided to film him leaving the arena.... Little did they know he would throw a half punch at a female fan on his way out....

For a normal person he was ok. He wasn't quite McDonagh. The 2nd goal was pretty much entirely his fault.
He wore a Callahan jersey. He swiped at the man closest to the stairs. Not the chick or the little kid. The Streamo stream replayed the footage. Only got a screen dump:
Looked like he wanted them outta his way or something.

If he's wearing a Callahan jersey I can't blame the guy. You'd take swipes too you if had a guy on your back with low corsi

He was 46%, (6 for 13) which is pretty good for a guy who hasn't played center in forever. He did better than Andrew "God Amongst Men" Shaw.

I'm way more excited than I should be
But it doesn't matter when it happens, how it happens, what the context is, and it certainly never gets old. Winning hockey games is fun.

I'm really liking Duclair's all around game and awareness. He steals the puck off a face off loss, which leads to our first goal. He picks Kane's pocket and draws a penalty. He always not only knows where to move the puck in transition, but also executes a tape to tape pass. Plus he found himself wide open in front a few times, but nobody got him the puck.
