In the game in which we beat them this year, we took it to them physically. We know what we have to do to beat them. Finish our checks and play in their face.
Yup only problem is our team is softer than a bag of cotton balls. We have literally nobody who is willing to play physical. Gauthier and kreider need to start laying people out to set the tone.

For all the faults of the late 00's rangers, girardi, callahan and mcdonagh were hard-nosed players willing to chase down the puck and play physical.

You can't finesse the puck into the back of the net and rely on your goaltender to save 40 shots to win every game

Any chance DQ gets the axe if the Bruins blow our biscuits off tonight? Like 7-1? Somethin' real nasty like that.

Maybe because they’ve repeatedly assaulted our goalie with zero response and generated a hot take from our coach directly questioning their manhood?

Our coach is an idiot so thats to be expected.

Lemieux responded last game (albeit super late). Our guys have thrown the bigger hits and their toughest player got his ass handed to him in the one fight hes had against the Rangers.

I don't know how Quinn looks at our lineup and thinks Hajek is the 7th best defenseman. He wasn't blowing the doors off anyone, but he was better than JJ and Smith in my opinion.

I agree with ya, i thought he was our 5d, and fill in with whoever as the 6

Are you talkiing about the same Girardi who was crucified here when he stood by and watched Dan Carcillo beat Gaborik like a drum? G would stand in front of a hundred pucks a night and keep coming back for more, but he wasn't striking fear into anyone with his physical play. All that said, I would love it if Miller elevated his physical play to that of Girardi or McDonagh.

Hopefully we can break-out of our zone and or work through the neutral zone.

I just want to watch hockey that doesn't anger me... Is that really too much to ask?

We Took it to the Bruins physically once so far this season. They have since targeted Lindgren to defuse that. We haven’t responded to thier response since.

I hope we do tonight. That win was the most satisfying victory of the season.

I'm a little nervous that Lemieux is not playing against this team.

He's in, PDG out.

Quinn also played Hajek over JJ.

Credit for both decisions IMO. He's never gonna scratch Howden, but at least PDG was the next most worthy of a game off.
