Hey Dan. Wow how did I miss a Rangers post! Yes I agree price may end up being steep, time will tell on Duclair and no high draft picks for a couple years but right move as Dan Boyle has the NY jitters like so many others that have come here and better win now before the veterans are old timers.

Most impressed with how team has rallied with Talbot in goal and keeps winning even with a much higher than Hanks Goals against. I am Die hard Rangers but think Hank the king is wishing he gets back sooner than later before he is queen!

Barry Melrose said (after Yandle trade) if you believe goaltending and defense wins cups than hand the cup to the Rangers now. Hope he is right

Duffman

hand the cup to the Rangers now

Uh Oh now ya did it! Mention the Cup in March and you'll never see it in June!!!!....:rolleyes:

I'm amazed what Talbot is doing. I thought the blueshirts were up it without a paddle when Hank went down.

SplitShot
03-14-2015, 07:28 AM
Talbot has been PHENOMENAL!! It's going to wind up being a problem at the end of the season, because his small 1 yr contract is up and a lot of GM's are going to be calling and offering BIG BUCKS to make him their No. ! goalie. And I am NOT a fan of Glen Sather after all the years of giving away HUGE CONTRACTS to guys who were horrible when they came to NY. Here is someone who deserves a good contract and will hopefully remain a Ranger... if Sather does the right thing.

dales529
03-14-2015, 11:12 AM
Hank who? Talbot has done more than anyone could have expected and now is better every game.
While I get the fact that's its still Hank's job its going to be interesting to see how he performs when he gets back. Going to be hard to let him get back in game shape with the race for the Top going down to the wire. they (players) say first place overall doesn't matter but us fans know better, it matters.

Klien will be missed but really cant complain about anything this team does lately as even when we are "off" a little we get the win.

Split Shot. Couldn't agree more that Talbot is going to be highly sought after but we should find a way to keep him. He IS the future if not the present!

If they don't get that PP working they won't last long in the playoffs..... it seems like it's getting worse and worse, not better.....and Talbot came through like a magician to let them win.... now we lose St. Louis for 2 weeks .... everyone has to pick up their game a little more during this final stretch!!

No doubt about it.... Talbot is part of the team that's winning... he's earned being the starting goalie.... DO NOT CHANGE A WINNING COMBINATION RIGHT NOW!!! Hank can fill in one game this back to back weekend but as long as Talbot & Team is winning, NO CHANGES!! Let's get Nash back on the scoring streak and hopefully Marty and Kevin Klein will heal fast.... Let's show LA tonight, we MEAN BUSINESS!!!

Duff, yeah ur guys are scaring me, looked like a shoe in for the playoffs now fighting off the Sens and the Hamburgerler! No disrespect but if Ottawa gets in on a hot roll they can cause some trouble for a 1st rounder which could be us. Although don't necessarily want to face ur brutes either.

BD / Split,
I agree on Cam BUT as my son would say "its Henrik friggin Lundquist (and his contract) , get over it if healthy he's playing" which is probably true no matter what but a great problem to have.

Last: Anyone have any NYC contacts for playoff tix, next to impossible unless you want to PAY 500 per seat. don't mind 200 or so (if they win lol)
Had them but no more and now its a real special favor!

BD: Agreed as I stated above but my son reminded me of reality which AV stated today, Hank is #1 when he gets back but he did open the door a crack to using both and maybe Hank will be on short leash. lets hope the best of all worlds and Cam and Hank make it tough to decide while we crush the opposition

I was starting to get a little nervous after 2 periods last night, but the Rangers turned on in the 3rd and closed the deal.... I did not want a 3 game losing streak at this point in the season. I'm looking forward to Klein getting back ASAP... He was doing great this season not only on D but putting in goals when we really needed it....and please let Nash get back on his game like the first half of the season :)

May not see Klein until Game 2 of first round (sucks) Hopefully I am wrong.
Byfuglien sucks for cheap shot on JT but may cost him 5 games for nothing as JT assists on winner against same D bag:D
Tough/ nerve wracking win but a win all the same and Hank looked better

Big time character win last night! BD Agreed on Cam, was hoping he would get appreciated for all he's done and that was a great way to do it. Yandle starting to pay off huge and the Kids Line (Step, Krieder and JT) tearing it up.

Now put those Devils further into hockey hell and take the Presidents trophy (although usually a curse).
Tough pick for first round:
Bruins or
Red Wings or
Penquins


Doesn't matter! LGR

Presidents Trophy was nice... but Rangers kept the celebrating low key cause they know it's just another step to the ultimate goal in June. Their record this year is a Great accomplishment, but if they don't get that GOD DAMN PP working, they won't get far..... Holy Mackerel, it's been bad for soooo long already.... they finally looked better cycling that puck around and around, but let's work on putting the puck IN THE NET!!! They got the next 2 games to really work on it..... final note: I guess if Nash doesn't get the scoring bug, putting that big body in front of the goalie certainly helps too!!

LET'S GO RANGERS!! YAYYYYYY!!!!

great win and was a great place to win the pres trophy.nash has done his part
this season for sure.he will get his edge back,all great scorers do.Dales makes a good point about the youngsters,they play better every game and the have to keep playing as they are a very important part of the rangers now.split no doubt about the pp,i can smell it from here.i just wish they had some real muscle to keep the peace out there.that was a cheap hit on st louie last night.

04-10-2015, 08:44 AM
Glad they have the option of resting some guys right now...... Rangers were on FIRE in 1st period last night, but once again can't finish putting the puck IN THE NET!! Ran out of steam 2nd and 3rd periods and looked so mediocre out there. Why are they sooooo slow when they get a pass and shoot it to the net?? Watch Ovetchkin tomorrow shoot and it's like the speed of light...

And the timing on all their passes 2nd & 3rd were always off...... C'mon guys, let's get it together, these other teams are hungry to WIN!! :D

Finally, I thought Bourque got better throughout the game and fit right in.

No complaints from me....not winning faceoffs, bad PP, but great defense and scoring when necessary has been working all season so this is not the time to change winning ways....winning is all that matters in the end .... and I'm so glad they didnt let Pitt intimidate them into taking stupid penalties

Love the passion of Brassard. Krieder finally woke up. MacD ,Girardi and Stall playing well. Maybe give Sheppard a chance tonight but tough to sit someone unless its Boyle or Marty who both may want to consider golf next year.

The Morning Take:

It looked like the Caps had the 5 days rest, not the Rangers

Rangers did not have the killer instinct practically the whole game

Someone better shake Nash and get him off the cloud he seems to be skating on and shoot like you did in the 1st half of season...

St Louis can't put the puck in the net for nothing

Passing and Receiving the Puck was HORRIBLE!!

OK... tomorrow is another game

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

Really was an exciting Game but series could be coming down to momentum and "puck luck" which we don't have at the moment. Bad timing for Yandle to suck and our "big guns" are squirt guns.

Hope they realize its now or never this year.

SplitShot
05-05-2015, 01:30 PM
You are soooo right.... Nash, St Louis, Kreider, Hayes and Hagelin need to score badly... The only one I have faith in right now is Brassard..

Nash comes down the left side with the same shot game after game.... Holtby can close his eyes, smoke a cigarette in his other hand, and still catch that shot!!!

St Louis' flip shot from the same spot on the right side ain't working either anymore. MIX IT UP GUYS and stop being so predictable.

I miss Zuc badly with his quick skating and pinpoint passing which is a sore point right now.

C'mon Guys.... let's tie it up tomorrow and pull out all stops to WIN!!!

Would be nice to see him pay for hit on Macdonough but game too important and don't think we have anyone who could do it anyway so just keep him quiet on the scoreboard.

Caps will come hard but if Hank keeps up this level, we frustrate them into penalties and we get some Puck luck its ours.

Never had a doubt LOL:eek: Great finish and although Stepan got the winner hats off to Girardi for getting a good low shot on net for that rebound! Hank stellar again. Was an inch away from the TV screen screaming all night because we all know we can coach and play better than them from our living room. Wife walks by during third period and asks how is this "Fun" for you!

Now we have figure out Bishop and go through all this again for another few weeks:D Rangers vs Ex Rangers!

OMG!!! I had to endear listening to that fiasco on the radio driving straight home from Florida yesterday..... I don't remember a game that bad in a long time.... still shaking my head this morning wondering HOW they could be THAT bad overnight??

Nash should be put out to pasture once playoffs start every year.... he is paid to SCORE GOALS, getting something like $90,000/game, (regular season salary) and can't do squat... Time to let St Louis go after season and Boyle is a step or two, too slow.

I think someone put something in the Rangers water bottles yesterday, cause it's hard to imagine the whole team just falling apart like that in one game..

Total embarrassment on the ice.... can't wait to listen to all the commentators on the NHL station today.... UGH!!!!

STEP IT UP BIG TIME RANGERS!!!: :confused:

Well... today is a new day and hopefully the Rangers all got rid of their bad play in Monday's game and will now march forward and WIN!!!

Looking at the analysis of Nash's goals during the season, most were against teams that didn't even make the playoffs and didn't have good goalies...

He is not good against the better teams in the league.... so he helped get us to the playoffs but don't count on him to score important goals in post season.

LET'S GO RANGERS !!

Back to the rubber room tonight with sound proofing! Really wasnt going to comment after Game 2 as we all know whats missing but cant let you guys (BD and Split) suffer alone LOL.

Wish AV would give Nash more PP time so maybe with a little more offensive room he could get one or add to one ,stop being A ROD in the playoffs and be Reggie. ( That comment shows my age and assumes that most Rangers fans are also Giants and Yankee Fans) Also its not just NASH it all of us as the puck must be 2 lbs heavier when we need to "Lift" it.

Missed opportunities have to stop. Sorry but off St Louis Totally. Saying that because I am wrong more than right so maybe a break out game for him!

Cant believe I am saying this but hope its a one goal game and we play like RANGERS



LGR

Also, think Duff did this thread on purpose because he knew Yandle would be so / so and if the Bruins made it they would expose him:D

SplitShot
05-21-2015, 07:50 AM
DISSAPOINTING FOR SURE..... Lightning Strikes Again!!
Lundqvist says he never saw the puck.... not good!! 12 goals in 2 games!!!
Goalie change for Friday to maybe shake this team up???

Nash shoots like a girl whenever he gets a chance to shoot... lost all confidence in him

St Louis has been more of a hindrance then an asset.... we should of kept Anthony Duclair instead of trading for Yandle (who stood out on a lousy team)

Only confidence I have right now is with Brassard and Stepan.... the rest are falling way short of expectations..

I might've missed watching 5 games all season and to watch them fall apart now is very frustrating.... and I'm sure after getting beat up on Monday, they are frustrated too losing a wide open physical game in OT. Next game is HUGE to get the win and then come back to NY... I know they can do it!! :D

C'mon dales!!! I still think Yandle was a good pickup. He hasn't been that bad.

I'm sorry but Nash is a playoff flop. Dude looks like a statue out there. I'm a big St. Louis fan but he has been snake it big time!

Can't change hank now. IMO when you change a goalie in the playoffs ... Your done.

Rangers simply need to clean it up. The stupid play has to end.

Nice watching these playoffs without a horse in the race. I get to sit back and actually enjoy the games!!!!

Split,
You certainly have the "disease" and as a good friend and successful lacrosse coach used to say after a big win "HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES"

Finally a dominant win on the scoreboard , we got the bounces , puck luck and Hank much better. Could actually breathe during the game, ME as much as them.

Nash and Marty score, win 5-1, coming back to Garden with a best of 3 and home ice . Not too shabby.

Duff,
Yandle could be big going forward now that he "gets" the playoffs and was better last night but as a Ranger Fan its always negative first :D He is as advertised: Great set up man who can also give the puck away at the worst time. If he SHOT more he may be BOTH a setup guy and a score guy but he plays huge minutes and when we win is an asset.

Ed / Bunker D:
Looks like me you and Split have to carry them! You know they listen to us!
Good call on last night: Best skate forward = TB deflections into their own net.

When we win it the 3 of us plus DUFF have to fish together

Yeah... TB definitely wanted it more right from dropping the puck..no question... Lundqvist always bails out the team but the team failed to bail him out this time... Our regular season goal scorers fell flat in the playoffs and that's what was disappointing.

Oh well... my hopes of building a new rod with Ranger colors and the 2015 Stanley Cup on it will have to wait again :(

I was hoping we could all go out on a PB and celebrate at the end of the month, but we still made it to the 3rd round which 26 other teams didn't so that was still huge....

Once again... NEXT YEAR!!!

Yeah I know its only JUNE! but hey Duffman started it mom.
Seriously 3 picks for Talbot with no first rounder (Robin Lehner / WHO? ) warranted a first round pick WTF. And Hagelin gone (but maybe could be a good trade). Why not a Talbot and Hagelin package for at least a first round pick????

And Dan you ok with Lucic gone to the kings?

Duffman
06-29-2015, 06:58 PM
Funny...after the draft I thought of starting a new NHL thread but thought it was too early.

Since you kicked into gear.....The B's are officially in rebuilding mode. Only a few years from a prez trophy and a Cup and Sweeney DESTROYED this team!!!

LOVED Cheech. Dude was the heart and soul of the forwards. Then deal Dougie for basically a prospect? Jeez!!!

Blueshirts deal Cam, I get it. Haglin? dont get it. Alot of speed to give up.

Just when I thought the agita of the season was over....it creeps back.

PLEASE bring on NFL training camps so I have something else to complain about!!!!!!:D

SplitShot
06-30-2015, 07:53 AM
OK Boys.... here goes..

Talbot was the reason we made The President's Trophy, no doubt about it. But even though it was great having an outstanding backup, he deserves to be a #1 goalie for a team and play every game. Good Luck Cam and Thank You..

Emerson Etem for Hagelin..... sort of a trade off but Hagelin is good now and Etem has the potential maybe in a few more years...

Antti Raanta is young and hopefully will grow into our next starter. Small at 6' for the new breed of goalies, but has the potential, so I'm not judging anything at this point.

Next move.... St Louis must RETIRE after the disappointing playoff run
