Wow, talk about a misleading post. If we are indeed pinned in our zone blocking shots is not a bad thing. However you don't want to be in that position.

And four of the next five we stunk it up. Consistency, haven't seen much these last weeks. But hey, maybe I'm just spoiled from all the amazeballs hockey they pulled off mid-season.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but he hasn't looked like a liability out there since MSL went down.
I think the tighter checking games in which referees swallow their whistles work to his advantage.

I'm proud of this team because they have 48 wins and 103 points, not to mention 1st in the east and 25 road wins.

Hank quickly getting back into form. The first goal was obviously weak, but he still faced 34 shots and got 32 of them. They weren't cupcakes either. Good bounce back game from him. I think that's really the most important part of this last regular season stretch.

Didn't play a great game but Hank was good and it was nice to see Kreider blow by Buff for the winner.

Game marred by that dirty play by Byfuglien. He should get a game or two for that--though it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't get anything.
Henrik was really good tonight. This was a very good game for him. IMO Girardi and Boyle were our best defensemen. Girardi broke up tons of plays and blocked tons of shots. Boyle held up well tonight against a very good team and was outstanding on the PK. To me this was one of his best games of the year.
Of the forwards Zucc stood out the most. After that the Stepan-Kreider-Miller line was our best.
It's a good win against a good big physical team in their own rink.

In net he was yes, but couple of his trips outside the crease made me giggle. Specially the one where he almost got run over by Staal.

I don't know where people get the idea that we played "awful" that wasn't nearly as bad of a game that people want to indicate. Are people really that spoiled with wins that they expect the rangers to go out and dominate every team they play?
something like 9 games in 14 days, traveling to places like WPG, MIN etc in the process, you guys better get used to conservative efforts on road games.

Don't be surprised to see the Rangers win a few, or hopefully more than a few, road games in exactly this fashion in the playoffs.

I'm so sick of this notion. Just because Glass doesn't actively cost us games doesn't mean he is playing well. He is still an absurdly terrible hockey player who makes us a 3 line team.
We did this all last year too when we were an excellent possession team. No coincidence we've set and tied the franchise record in road wins back to back seasons.

Agreed. He's definitely getting up to speed. His puck handling was atrocious though.
It's never been a strength, but in the last two years he's been light years ahead of his previous play with the puck. Hopefully that's just something that's going to take a bit longer to adjust to than actually stopping the puck.
