[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

The last couple weeks we haven't played our best hockey, but we've still managed to win. That shows that we're a good team.
Hopefully we can come back to playing our style now.
- Mats Zuccarello

Yes, we’re struggling to score, but it’s important to be able to win this type of game, because this is the way it’s going to be played in the playoffs.
Everybody seems to be in playoff mode, even those teams like Carolina who are going to be out, but are trying to impress management for jobs for next year.
Every game feels like a battle.
- Rick Nash

They're one of the best teams in the League, and there's quite a few that are battling for position, and we're one of those.
Two good teams are going to meet and it should be a great hockey game.
- Alain Vigneault​

Get 'er done, boys!

After this game, all the remaining are against wild cards and non-playoff teams, but let's not crap the bed again. Good final pre-playoff test for the team.

This may also be the last game T-Bone starts this season, as Henrik might be back Tuesday. Give him a good win!

Those wild card teams and those just outside are the hardest to play against this time of year as they are desperate....so I would not say we have an easy schedule, especially through the end of March.

Rest of this month is brutal. Could easily see them going .500 to close it out.

Ail pls schedule is cupcake

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Rest of this month is brutal. Could easily see them going .500 to close it out.

People said the same at the start of the month when we played NSH, DET, CHI, NYI, WAS, BUF, FLA and CHI in an 8-game span and we have gone 6-1-1 despite that gruesome schedule.

.....and some questionable officiating.

 

[Kakko]

Remember when Dubinsky and Boyle had a brawl?
When Nash and MSL bullied Miller, because he doesn't smile?

 

[R2theDizzlE]

Going to be at the game tonight. I better see a better effort against the Ducks than they showed against the Canes last night. It's a shame Lundqvist isn't back yet as this might be only game I attend this season. Oh, well. Let's go CamBot, and let's go Rangers! Wooooooo!

 

[Machinehead]

Rangers can you not?

 

[R2theDizzlE]

Ail pls schedule is cupcake

I still liked the idea of cupcake avis, lol.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

The problem with my avatar is that I am desperately hoping Glass doesn't record any goals or assists for the remainder of the season

Ya cuz that could happen

 

[CaptainMcD]

I hope they show up alive tonight. The last Rangers regular season game I went to was against ANA in the bad part of last season... they couldn't put more than one past Anderson... now I realize we're dealing with a completely different team and circumstances but still... Anderson worries me more than Bryzgalov who we put 4 past in January.

Well they haven't exactly been playing elite level hockey most nights, and the goals are hard to come by as of late. Sure they could just keep winning against all odds, but they're going to need to play better if they want the best chance at beating these teams. You can only coast for so long before the bounces stop going your way.

 

[KingP]

Oh im ready for this one

Lets Gooooooo Rangers!!!

 

[Niloc1*]

This place is crazy.....Let's Go Rangers!!!!

 

[Sirius Vivace]

Can't wait for this one to start. Looking for another strong game from Line #3 - they were fun as hell to watch over the first two periods last night.

At the moment... Hayes seems like the best player on the team with the pretty passes he's been making...and right now he's got two speedster Swedes with him; one of whom is like a kid in a candy store. Fast is definitely pumped to be going from the line he was on to skating with Playmaker Hayes.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

Lets keep pace with the head of the pack for the President's trophy. Key game tonight!

Where is the best in game chatter? Im usually on the Blueshirt banter blog during the games...

Right here unless some stupid argument breaks out

 

[nevesis]

Huge game tonight. Measuring stick. Let's go boys!!!

 

[Osminator]

NBCSN... OH MAN... hate them really much, especially the later starting time... not doing the Euro's any favours plus MSG is so superior it can't even be measured on a scale... Let the Rangers hate continue and flourish on NBC!

 

[jacko23]

ON A POSITIVE NOTE...

id like to see some scoring from our "primary scorers" but we are finding ways to win without them. its reassuring, but its not completely sustainable, so lets hope the big guns step up.

as with most games, im stuck streaming them at work, but it helps the night go by. lets get two more points tonight! LGR!!!
