[Bob Richards]

I'd trust Grabner to score on a 200 foot shot with a cord of rope for a stick.

Convincing home win. Nice.

 

[Crease]

This one will last a lifetime.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Yeah, he has been extremely bad offensively lately, even to his weak standards.

Nash more often than not refuses to pass the puck. A real black hole. He plays a game where often if he doesn't score nobody on his line will score. I would hate playing on his line. AV should out him with Vesey and put Buch with Zibs and Zooks.

 

[FJB]

I'm glad that Milbury is so blatantly annoyed.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

This one will last a lifetime.

Or at the very least, a lunchtime.

 

[mrmovies779]

Vesey deserves a star and a cookie

 

[Guffawstev]

Consume!

 

[Tawnos]

Well, the Rangers got a fortuitous call after not once getting the same hooking calls the Sabres got earlier in the game.

Honestly, I thought the game itself was terrible.

Grabner was good, Miller and Fast too. Lundqvist agan a great game.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, the Sabres have been better lately. I'm disappointed that the game was this close because of how we started but 3-2 in OT without that context is not some sort of black mark on this team.

 

[Bob Richards]

Someone has to win at Citi Field goddammit.

I'm tired of Rick Nash, really. The story that he is snakebitten and blah blah blah is rubbish. He is what he is now, a decent player who can't finish if his life depends on it. Trade him, plz.

4th line was good, Hayes line was good, Vesey was pretty good, Skjei and Staal were good, Hank was very good.
We looked great for the majority of the 1st and then just tailed off. PP continues to suck but the the PK was very good.

During the playoffs and Winter Classics, Doc always makes a big deal about the handshake line; if it's such a big deal, why not just shake hands after every game?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers were the better team, but if they weren't that'd be sad.

 

[Irishguy42]

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

This team is going to sorely miss Kreider. Not good.

Nash needs to reliably be a beast but we seem to only get that every few games now.

Henrik was great again big saves late in 3rd.

Good job Millsey to pot the winner.

 

[trilobyte]

Home?
Away?
Enroute?

2 points. Not sure if the team really earned it, but I do feel that I earned it. Not scintillating hockey.
Edit: squeaked out a win. Sorry, but the 'got the 2 points' attitude doesn't feel right today, at least not to me.

 

[aufheben]

It's been a trek, but the Rangers are now in a divisional playoff position.

How was the call fortuitous? It was clearly a trip and caused Vesey to lose possession in his zone.

Fortuitous doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t have been a penalty. Just that it was lucky timing. It was fortuitous that Josefson tripped him up.

 

[Siddi]

This was my 1st outdoor hockey game. Great experience and the crowd chanting the goal song after the OT winner was epic.

Thank you NYC for never letting me down. God I love this city!

I would be okay with him being "snake-bitten" but he keeps trying to beat 2-3 men instead of passing the puck to his teammates and takes changes on the way back on defense.

 

[trilobyte]

I thought Hayes (Kevin) played pretty well. Not perfect. He seemed to actually get to the net a lot. So did Vesey.
