I'm quite certain they aren't rushing him, but, the Rangers should be in no... er... rush to rush Hank back from this injury.

Basically locked into WC1 at this point. Let him practice, rehab, get his rest, whatever it is. We have four games in April, with a set of B2B games to close the season. Give Hank 3 of the 4 games in April. No need to start him before then. Three games to get his timing right from practice to game, and go into the playoffs.

Devils are bad. But they seem to always play the Rangers hard. Think they should focus on getting guys healthy during these last 10 games. Less shifts and maybe even a game off here and there. But not too many games off.

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Too bad AV wouldn't consider playing Hellberg, Devils would be the perfect team to give Raanta a day off before that big Islanders game on Wednesday

 

[Mac n Gs]

Does anyone have a study of how many games it takes Hank to get back into form after a period of time off? I could've sworn I remember seeing someone say he has about a 5-game dip in performance before getting back to being himself

 

[Hire Sather]

I'm not worried about getting him rest. He's better the more he plays it seems.

Get healthy and I'm ready to play him as normal.

Would love to play really strong in these back to back but grab one or two vs Debbies and win at home vs islanders but of course we win tomorrow and lose at home just because it's da garden

Goddammit. I was thinking the game was tonight and I'd be able to catch it after work.

But no. It's tomorrow. While I'm at work the whole time.

I'm happy its tomorrow night. I have hockey tonight and 3 of the last 4 weeks I have missed a game due to hockey.

Great to see Henrik back - he won`t play until later though, AV mention the California tour.

Devils are pretty garbage. Their only good players are Hall and Severson.

When we clinched the President's Trophy on their ice during the New Jersey fan appreciation night, the crowd boo'd the Devils during the center ice stick raise.

It was glorious.

Palmieri and Schneider are good.

35 years, three Cups, and they still really haven't built a loyal fanbase.

MSG tickets are so expensive it's a good opportunity for Rangers fans to see them at like half the price there. I've yet to be at The Rock, not sure how nice of an arena it is.

It's fine as an arena, but a little to bright for my liking, you should definitely still try to catch a game there.

It is kind of like the most true and the loyalist of Ranger fans that once embodied the blue seats and the green?) have been pushed out by higher prices so they just gather at the rock instead. I've been pushed to Florida, lol.

Kind of like ex-Brooklyner's have moved to Staten and Long Island.......lol.

Yeah I sometimes take NJ transit to take the Secaucus junction to go to MSG. But believe you just stay on that train, and takes you right to the arena.

It's annoying when I go to a game and all those seats are empty or have guys in suits who have no idea there is a hockey game going on. I've gone to a lot of Tampa games, have a house south of Tampa. You can get like center ice tickets down below for like 75.00 to 90.00 a ticket. Down in those seats they have fans and not suits. Not sure if you have been to Amalie arena down there, very nice arena and area. Still nothing beats NYC hockey and going to the city, but you are going to pay for it.

I've gone to a bunch of Devils games because my friend has seasons and his wife is busy with med school. Going tonight too.

One thing that jumps out at me is the distribution of jerseys worn by the fans. Everyone is a wearing jersey but its like 80% Brodeur and the other 20% is basically Stevens or their own name. No Elias, Sykora, Parise. No Gomez, Holik, Lemieux. No 80s guys.

Well, Holik, Gomez, Parise, Kovalchuk all left.
