Post-Game Talk: #3 - Jackets @ Rangers

[SnowblindNYR]

The only thing that's making me feel a bit better is that when you have the start we did, it's easy to not play 100% on D.

So we're obviously not yet in mid-season form, and yet we're 3-0 and +5 in goal differential. I'll take it gladly. Should be a fun team to watch as we continue to find our rhythm.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Are you ever satisfied?

If we had another 2nd in the 3rd, I wouldn't complain. That was a joke, though.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

The Rangers had two positive possession players. One of them was Tanner Glass.

Well he just secured his spot in the lineup for the next month. Blast!

This is how I'm trying to look at it. We're winning despite it clearly not clicking.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hank is just on fire. He is dialed in like its the playoffs. My goodness.


Tonight was reminiscent of tons of games last season where the Rangers looked like the globetrotters at times and got out to a big early lead then gave the other team tons of chances but Hank bailed them out.

 

[LottieDottie]

what does the does the dancing flamingo represent? i'd like to be in on the lols. thanks!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

The last time the Rangers won their home-opener, the final score was 5-2, against the Ottawa Senators in 2009.

 

[pucksoup]

We need more Bergs!!!

 

[BoWmEn]

Great way to open the season. Spoil 2 home openers and come through on yours. Hopefully our Canadian players don't get too fat for Winnipeg with Canadian Thanksgiving.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

That stick save by Hank is easily save of the year contender.

They've been doing better things game-by-game so I'm being patient with them.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Tonight's game was one of those reinforcements on AV's philosophy on the game.

Rangers speed and skill took the starch right out of Columbus compared to last night.

 

[bigbluebird]

3-0. All that matters.

 

[Whitehawk1186]

Absolutely, and I'll be able to say that 8 months from now!

Should I comment again about how I feel about advanced stats....I won't

Big Win tonight!! 3-0 boys!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I have to think that Hank realized he doesn't have too many more shots at the cup. This has been the best he's started the season since 11-12. 2013, 2013-14, and even 2014-15, he's sucked to start the season.

Didn't Del Zotto have like 2 goals that game?

......Rangers also didn't make the playoffs that season....

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Will Hank be a favorite for the Vezina this season? It seems like it. He's dialed in.

The fact that he only has one pisses me off lol.

Dubi had 2, DZ, Gabby and Prospal had a goal as well

 

[MysticLeviathan]

How Swede it is!

Hank
Lindberg
Stalberg


All 3 played really well, Hank especially. And Lindberg looks really good, he definitely looks like the 1st round talent he was touted as going into the draft. I hope he can keep things up.

 

[Ghost of jas]

#1 Henke
#2 Lundqvist
#3 Herink Lundqvist

HM: Lindberg

 

[eco's bones]

The Rangers exploded in the first period in the season opener against Chicago. They exploded again after Columbus took the lead late in the second game and they exploded again tonight against Columbus in the first period. Scoring goals in clusters--all three games.

Problem with this one was after we went up 3-0 about 6 minutes into the game--the team pretty much was lackadaisical the rest of the way. I don't think AV's going to be happy with this one.

Anyway the forwards who have played this year and don't have any points are Tanner Glass, Jesper Fast and of all people Rick Nash.

Still a good win.

The fact that he only has one pisses me off lol.

he might be the best goalie with single vezina.
