[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

Thereâ€™s no secret that Nash has been our best player this year.
Itâ€™s amazing how he comes to the rink and carries himself and heâ€™s sparking the team when we need it desperately.
Tonight was a great start to the game. His whole line played really well.
- Derek Stepan

It shows the character weâ€™ve got on this team to kind of bounce back after a tough home loss and another loss on the road against Boston.
To come back and get these two wins in pretty tough buildings to play in, itâ€™s a huge deal.
- Rick Nash

It was a total team effort today.
With the amount of games we had to play, I was really pleased with how we competed and executed.
- Alain Vigneault

Last game before the break. With one of the lightest schedules of all teams in the league, it's good that Hank is not wasting time at the All Star game.

Focus on tonight, get some much needed rest because down the stretch, I can see Hank starting no less than 30 of the remaining 38 games. Maybe more.

Win tonight, get some rest. 2nd half is going to be fast and furious.

Let's GOOO Rangers!!! Ps. Has anyone seen how big headed islander fans are getting on the main boards? They think two regular season wins over us means they are going to destroy us in the playoffs lol.

NYR Viper · Jan 20, 2015

Need the 2 points. Use your speed to the outside and put pucks in behind the defensemen

silverfish · Jan 20, 2015

The legs feed the wolf, gentlemen.

It's no surprise that when the Rangers are at their best they're going hard through the neutral zone with a plan and a purpose.

Let's see some of that tonight.

Quick exits out of our zone, and create off the rush.

Nobody here cares about that team or their fans.

Until the Rangers beat that team, they and their fans have every justification to believe what they believe.

I'm sure that Tampa Fans feel the say way and rightfully so.

Until we can beat them, there's not much room to argue. Both teams have been better than the Rangers on the nights they have played. The record the Rangers carry against every other team in the league carries little merit or value when playing the Islanders and or Tampa.

We are 0-5 and have given up 24 goals (4.8 per game) while scoring just 2 goals a game.

if I were them, I'd feel pretty damn good as well.

NYRangerFan* · Jan 20, 2015

Everything about Ottawa looks bad. Neil on the 3rd line is a joke. Win please

Vinny DeAngelo · Jan 20, 2015

We need these points going into the break... And Tampa and islanders have had the benefit of playing us at our worst

GoAwayPanarin · Jan 20, 2015

What are the chances that Chris Neil does something stupid?

Don't know what it is about Ottawa, but it seems like the Rangers always struggle against them, especially at home.

Except that 3-0 game recently. I would like to see us play the Isles with our #1 center healthy.

When Alfredsson played for them I remember MSG said they were something absurd like 12-1-1 at MSG since the 05 lockout. Struggling at home against them is an understatement.

No offense but who cares what they think?

Mac n Gs · Jan 20, 2015

Lol:

@AGrossRecord: Stat of the day: In the regular season since 4/18/06, Sens are 13-1-1 at MSG. Last Rangers regulation win in that span was 10/3/09.

I was gonna say, it always seems like the Sens play well at the Garden.

Synergy27 · Jan 20, 2015

Anyone wanna take a guess at how the faceoff stats are going to look after the game? I suppose they might be closer than usual now that Spezza is in Dallas.

wow

One of those odd things I guess.

It just means that they are due to win this one :yo:

cwede · Jan 20, 2015

is Wiercioch injured?
Odd they're not scoring, they have O skill on every line (least on the 3d, but Lazar was impressive at WJC.
Look at the '4th' line, Michalek, Pageau who was on fire for a while late last year, and i still see Stone's snipe from the RW at MSG in playoffs, in his first or 2d NHL game.
Chiasson was one of the best rookies in the league last year for Dallas.
They do always seem to win in Regular season at MSG; for a while they were putting Phillips in front on PP and scored a few that way. They had some big 3d periods against us.
Just play like Sunday and NYR should win

Edit - well either his shot led to a rebound to Spezza, or a save by Henrik, or I am just clueless, because he only had an assist in that series, even though i clearly recall him bringing the puck down the right side and firing
"..Stone made his NHL debut during last year’s playoffs against the New York Rangers and set up Spezza for a goal in a Game 5 win at Madison Square Garden."

KingP · Jan 20, 2015

Get these 2 points before the break

rangers1314 · Jan 20, 2015

Guess its a chance to get an eye on Marc Methot. If he's healthy, massive "if", he could be a guy Sather looks at at the deadline.

Killem Dafoe · Jan 20, 2015

I just want 2 points before this break.

Riche16 · Jan 20, 2015

NEED

2

WIN

That is all.

The Gloaming · Jan 20, 2015

Please win. I feel like Spezza used to score a bunch of goals at msg when he was with the Sens. Now that he's in Dallas, I'd really like to see the Rangers not embarrass themselves against the Sens at home.

Feeling a 3-1 victory.
