[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

It’s just an unfortunate bounce. I saw the puck bouncing. Usually it’s tough for a defenseman to handle and I just tried to use my speed to the puck.
I just mishandled the puck there (on the breakaway).
- Anthony Duclair

I think the effort was there in spurts. We lost puck battles and more battles along the wall than we won. They came out of the corner with more pucks than we did.
They worked harder, so it’s something we can change.
- Marc Staal

The amount of 50-50 pucks they got to. Was that they were a little quicker than we were or they wanted it more? I’m not exactly sure yet.
They did win the net front battles, they got to a lot of second opportunities. They were the better team tonight.
- Alain Vigneault

Brooklyn Rangers Fan · Oct 12, 2014

Alright. Wash the taste out of your mouth and start over.

Hopefully we see some tweaking to those lines.

Raspewtin · Oct 12, 2014

Missing this one too. Ugh.

LGR!

Fugazy · Oct 12, 2014

Hoping to see a big time make up performance from last night. LGR! :handclap:

Ranger Angst · Oct 12, 2014

This should be fun . The Leafs are a below average team. Rangers must eat these inferior teams.

gmerger37 · Oct 12, 2014

The brass line has to step up. You guys were our best line last year and opposing teams know it. You won't be flying under the radar anymore.

Blueshirt Special · Oct 12, 2014

I'll be there tonight for this "must win". lol

silverfish · Oct 12, 2014

Hoping but not expecting some lineup tweaks.

Come out strong in front of the home crowd, get the Garden involved early, and let's kick off this four game homestand on the right foot :yo:

LGR

ilovemarkmessier · Oct 12, 2014

Who out there does not wanna see Malone on the PP tonight? Sit Glass!

This is exactly what I read in the papers. Teams are prepared for them, it seems like they are trying to neutralize Brass and Zucc, and so far they've been pretty successful.

Not sure about this game, we were beaten up last night, that hurts. And Leafs coming off two losses, they are hungry.

But I'm always optimistic

SupersonicMonkey* · Oct 12, 2014

For the love of all things holy, please change the lines, Vigneault...

Duclair - Moore - Nash
Kreider - Brassard - Zuccarello
Hagelin - Miller - St. Louis
Glass/Malone/Fast - Hayes - Stempniak

Staal - McDonagh
Hunwick - Girardi
J.Moore - Klein

Lundqvist

Hags is not working on the line with Bass and Zucc. They need a bigger body that can work in front of the net.

Kovalev27 · Oct 12, 2014

Duclair MSL Nash
Kreider Brass Zucc
Hagelin Miller Stempniak
Glass Moore Hayes

Would be my lines tonight

Agreed...they've been invisible these first 2 games. Switch Hags and Duke...and throw Malone in for Glass. There's things I like about Glass but my goodness, the guy has pure block hands.

We make those teams look like the 90's and early 00's wings teams.

Wolfy* · Oct 12, 2014

I can see the anti toughness guys are out of bed.

I'll tell you one thing, if this team aint getting any tougher, we can kiss the playoffs goodbye.

Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is. Last night we took a hell of a beating, it was painful to watch. This simply can't continue.

But AV is a soft coach, hopefully he'll realize this before it's too late, or half our top 6 group will end up on IR.

One thing I agree with you on...don't like facing the Leafs who are probably angry about starting off the season poorly. They're not a downright terrible team, Rangers have to play better than last night. They ARE more of a run and gun team rather than disciplined and physical though and that plays into the Rangers ffavor

YoSoyLalo · Oct 12, 2014

Put Malone in for Glass., and that fourth line becomes a threat.

that Moore/Fast combo was making some plays and Glass pretty much killed the play every time the puck came near him.

Kakko · Oct 12, 2014

Hayes in
Miller out

please.

please.

Infinitum Vitae* · Oct 12, 2014

Fast does not belong on the fourth line he is wayyyyy to soft and quiet for a fourth line role.

Noted for the lulz in April.

Yep. I hate to keep killing the guy but just focusing in on him the past two games, he kills anything going on the 4th line. I hated Derek Dorsett but at the least, he could keep the cycle going in the zone.

One play, Fast is cutting to the net and I saw Glass take a shot from the corner at the goaltender instead of throwing it out in front to him. Malone may not be anywhere near as quick as the other two and he may be even slower than Glass but he can keep the cycle going at least and be involved in front with his hands.

My lines for tonight...

Kreider - MSL - Nash
Duc - Brass - Zucc
Hagelin - Miller - Stemp
Malone - Moore - Fast

Ideally, I'd scrap the MSL at center experiment but I think they'll keep it going for tonight so I left the top line as is.

Doctyl · Oct 12, 2014

Wait why is Glass getting hate?
