Pre-Game Talk: Rangers @ Canadiens 3/30/13

[trilobyte]

If the Rangers can put some pressure on the Canadiens, maybe there is a chance.
Montreal only let up when the other team stresses them and causes them to screw up. I'm hoping to see a decent forecheck tonight, with some presence in front of the net.
Then again, that is always what I wish for, and not just against the Habs.

Looking forward to seeing Zuccarello, but why do I get the feeling that the expectations for him are just too high.

Expectations are too high for anyone who might have some chance of scoring goals. Everyone hopes one guy is going to come in and suddenly change this team into a juggernaut.

2-0 Canadiens.

This one will be ugly.

#NYR @martybiron43 will start in goal tonight.

I like this. Hank needs a night off once and awhile. Not sure if the Canadians are the best team to do it with, but our team seems to play harder in front of Biron.

One of the few things I've seen on HF that has made me LOL in real life. Thank you

PK Subban has been phenomenal this year. I wish we had PK on our PP.

*Insert joke here about how the Rangers PP does have PK because it might as well be one*

We look like we're on the PK when we're on the PP. So we're almost there.

I remember when people here said Staal is better lol.

I've heard that theory about the team playing better in front of Biron. Not being all that much of a believer in statistics (preferring to go with what I see on the ice), but I don't think it would make much difference. Last game against the Habs, Biron was fine but the team was not. Lars Eller pushed everyone around like he was Chris Pronger. That was one soft game by NYR.
Maybe they want to make up for that game, at least I hope they do.

This game should be typically ugly. Zucc will be riding pine by midway through the second period. This coach's MO never changes.

Guaranteed

Yup thats Torts MO. The more offense you show the more time you get benched

I remember when Staal was playing absolutely AMAZING before he got shot in the eye...

Fortunately I'm going to an underground electro party tonight. Maybe my absence is the key to victory ...

Will be at the Garden for ASOT 600 so not watching tonight.

I hate being negative and thinking this is just gonna look ugly.

Looks like Asham joining Powe and Gilroy in the press box tonight. Would rather see Asham or Power over Pyatt. That oaf brings nothing to the table.
