[Beacon]

Third straight loss for the Rangers because under the new CBA anything short of 5 goals by the Rangers is a loss.

Poll pls

Poll pls

you do it

 

[Machinehead]

Somehow, scoring chances were even.

19 high-danger scoring chances a piece. What is defense?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Raanta, Grabner, Miller.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Poll pls

He was too much in a hurry to post his joke.

 

[nevesis]

Scoring goals is important.

Great win!

 

[WesMcCauley]

Good win and expected to be outshot tonight. Not only because Girardi plays on the top pair but because of playing back-back. When you win the second game of a back-back you cant complain no matter how it happened. Clendening sitting on the bench all night is a joke though. Ridicolous

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Played with 11 forwards and basically short a man because AV likes being an ass (sorry, but Clenedening not playing a second is ****ing stupid). Great game but Raanta.

Big win, character win.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not happy at all with this team this game. Happy with the result, but they stopped playing after a great 1st period. It was horrible after the first, they just couldn't do anything.

 

[NYRFAN218]

First period was a lot of fun to watch and the Rangers generated a lot of chances.

Second period was an Edmonton blitzkrieg.

Third period while the puck was mainly in our zone, I thought the team did a good job of defending and ultimately didn't allow many great chances.

Missing two of the teams better forwards and on the second end of a back to back with the backup in net so you gladly take the two points. I'd just like to see more of what we saw in the first rather than the second and third.

Poll pls

Takes a couple of minutes to put up the poll when you have to add 19 names.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It's like AV plays a modern game but is a neanderthal like Torts when it comes to his fourth liners and defensemen.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

The turtle's back. I've honestly missed it this past year or so.

Does anyone know if Clendening took warmups? I wonder if that factored into it. Maybe he didn't feel comfortable using him if he didn't take warmups which is possible considering they had their lineup finalized already.

Just a reminder.

Thanks man.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Really ****** game imo, but we were short two big time players. Getting 4 points in 2 nights in western Canada is very impressive imo. And with our awful loss against the Caynucks a few days back, there should be blood in the water. I am very concerned about Kreider and Buch, though.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

11 forwards and played last night. Take the win and move on to the next one.

At times NYR were embarrassed physically. The team needs some grit or toughness, whether that means adding a player or the current roster playing a bit tougher. Clendening not playing is also pretty quizzical. Why play down a man the whole game?

Grabner + 3rd for Rinaldo.

It's not a boxing match. No points are being rewarded here for form.

Gotta win fugly sometimes in this leauge folks. Tonight was one of those nights. We just won back to back games in Western Canada. I bet that hasn't happened even a half dozen times in past 20-30 years...seriously. If we can beat 'Nuckleheads which I would be surprised we don't, a sweep of Western Canada not sure has been done more than two three times ever!.

Something special is brewing here...I firmly believe that. Does D concern me a bit? yeah but when you score at worst 3-4 goals a night and you have a Hanky/Raanta combo between the pipes, you can mask any D concerns pretty well. All good in Ranger town. Love this team...love it love it love it!!!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, the Rangers have a football record 12-4.

And we won. Both times. Edmonton is one of the biggest, most physical teams in the league.

Didn't seem to affect the outcome of the game. or any game so far this season.

I tend to agree with @SnowblindNYR - it`s a good summary.
Raanta & Grabner had my votes - the others can improve next game.
What happen to Kreider & Buch both injured or?
