Over Dorsett. Not to knocking Dorsett, just want to throw something at them they haven'y seen yet in this series.

Someone to get in Quick's face and agitate. They know too well what to expect from us. Gotta change it up.

Dorsett could probably use the rest, he's been banging away. I'd go right back to him on Monday though.

I think Dorse has been solid the last few games and I wouldn't want him to sit. I also think there has to be some rust for C-bomb. He hasn't played in a while, and even if that means he's rested, it will take him a few shifts to get going.

I've been very happy with the way Carcillo has performed since the trade, but I don't see what's to gain by having him play tonight.

disagree. they may be workman like but can they close the deal ? i still think hank gets in their heads tonight and frustrates them. they dont want to go back to ny for game 6.

all the pressure is on them tonight at home. lots of energy but will it work against them ?

agree we need a few early goals and for sure some breaks.

i would like to see nash on the pp as well and both mcd and moore on the points. i like moore firing away slappers off that mcd pass. no more richards on the pp. hes done.

like usual, henrik is the key. if hes on, we have a pretty good chance.

i feel pretty good about tonight.

I do too.... Don't know why, but I think everything is going to go well for the rangers especially after that quote from DOughty.
 
Hank stole one the other night. As hard as the Kings come tonight, it will need to Grand Larceny. Hopefully the rest of the team can get it's game back on track to where it was in games one and two.

The main reason we are playing tonight is luck as Hank pointed out. Luck and ice shavings.

Twice pucks slipped under Hanks pads and headed for the goal line. Twice those pucks were stopped as the loose ice in front of them built up and stopped them crossing over.

Truly the definition of puck luck.

Uh...

Doughty's height, weight, and date of birth: 6'1", 213 lb, 12/8/89

McDonagh's height, weight, and date of birth: 6'1", 213 lb, 6/13/89

Doughty's last three seasons: 95 points in 203 games

McDonagh's last three seasons: 94 points in 206 games

Doughty this postseason: 17 points in 25 games

McDonagh this postseason: 16 points in 24 games

:squint:

Doughty shoots right, which is rarer, but McDonagh's cap hit is $2.3 million lower and each is signed for the next five seasons.

Wow, that's insane.

You'd think Doughty was bigger, stronger, faster, with more points and a lower cap hit the way they talk about him...

Yep.

"But he plays in a defensive system! He could put up a 100 points if he wasn't!"

:rolleyes:

McD>= Doughty.

I dunno if I'd go that far but I think they're pretty damn close if you compare their play in this series.

Doughty's a bit flashier with the puck sometimes but it's really almost a negligible amount, I like McDonagh a bit more 1 on 1 and going into puck battles, etc.

Doughty gets a ton of credit for his sophmore year when he put up 60 some points, but I don't quite buy the "team defense holds him back" line all that much

e: Rangers should probably try to win again tonight
 
I hope Hank gets into LA's head tonite. Am I the only one who believes that It didn't happen after game 4?

The Kings could have had 4 to 5 goals in game 4 but the Rangers had puck luck. The Rangers need to step up their game and Hank needs to make cleaner saves or the Summer recess starts tomorrow;

The comparisons by Pierre to Ray Bourque and Denis Potvin...I still can't get over it. Each of those players had over 1,000 points and were top defenders. Doughty has gone from one of the top young defensemen in the NHL to one of the top 5 defensemen in the NHL to the most overrated defensemen in the NHL so quickly.

Just people constantly underrating Ranger players.

McD is after all in the Eastern conference. If he was in the West he'd have 0 points and be a -37. 2nd D unit on the oilers.
 
posting this again. Worked last game.

Im taking hold of every momement
Given strength by the breath of life (breath of life)
Im gonna stake my claim
I FIGHT TO SURVIVE


Good luck tonight!
 
I mean I like a lot of what Doughty does. he can be real slick with the puck and is very confident with it, and is an all around excellent player. Definitely one of the top defensemen in the NHL IMO.

He shouldn't be compared to hall of fame players though. I wouldn't compare McDonagh to any of them either. Hell the defensemen in the NHL I'd consider comparing to hall of fame players is maybe like 1 to 3 guys right now (Chara who's unique in his own right even if he's on the downside of his career, Karlsson for his amazing skating and scoring ability, and mayyyybe someone like Weber or Keith on a good day but I"m not a huge Keith fan).

Doughty's excellent, I just don't see things he does that are head and shoulders over someone like McDonagh and I see plenty of mistakes and stuff out of him as well
 
I have to say that there's a lot of rational, heck even likable Devils fans... but now that it's 3-1 some of the more troll-like NJ fans are just straight up ridiculous in the Main Board right now.
 
Really hope this isn't a repeat of game 5 in Boston last year. I felt okay going into that game, optimistic they could get a win and bring it back home. Even with Hank playing great, that didn't work out and I fear the same will happen tonight.


Please win.
 
Prior to this season I hated C-bomb. I thought he's a punk and not much of a player but I gotta say he's looked good in Ranger blue this season. I still hate him... But I think I would give him the nod. He's essentially fresh... No fatigue.

In 2012, I hoped they lost too, and thought they were outmatched.

Can't blame them for hating us. That's the rivalry.
