I'll be there. Not sure why I'm wasting my Saturday night watching these losers.

lol if you're a fan of the team, it's not a waste. I'll be there as well, LGR.

 

[Vitto79]

They will bounce back. Stop the Conacher line, that kids on fire with some of the TB vets

 

[TriFF51]

At least the team will get to see what a real PP looks like... If they can stay out of the box they can win, but with that said 5-1 loss.

 

[silverfish]

37 goals in 7 games, a PP clicking at 34.3%? 'Nuff said.

*sigh*

LGR

 

[NYRangers88]

If we don't start winning soon and build up a record over .500, we will fade fast. LGR

 

[Leetch66]

5-0 Bolts...hard to say anything good about our team other than our goalie has carried us far too long and now when he is off a bit our holes are exposed . We probably even get scored on while having a 5 on 3 tonight...I can just feel it .

 

[Mrpuck]

We always seem to win the tough games, yet lose the ones people feel should be sure wins. So I won't be surprised if they pull this out tonight. 3-2 in regulation.

 

[Riverdale]

4-1 Bolts


prove me wrong Rangers

 

[CHS]

Tampa has 2 goals less against and 20 more forward. Gulp! I pray to God the reason behind this is the schedule.

 

[Loff]

We're playing Tampa three times this month. lolwut

Hockey god help us.

 

[CHS]

Maybe Gilroy on the 3rd line wing makes sense? Rupp really does not.

 

[Hire Sather]

I don't want to play.

 

[Fitzy]

Based on our team history i'd rather play a team in a good run of form than a bad one.

 

[Hire Sather]

We're playing Tampa three times this month. lolwut

Hockey god help us.

One of the most unluckly schedules of all time.

Face ALL top teams during the first 2 weeks while we're trying to get it together, now we face the red hot teams right when they are hot

 

[Hire Sather]

please breakup the big line for the love of god

 

[IslesBeBack*]

Ok Please don't jump down my throat, I just genuinely need to know two things:

1) Why the **** is Matt ****ing Gilroy playing in an NHL lineup, let alone at forward on someones third line?

2) Wouldn't it make sense to break up the top line, add one star to each of the top 3 lines, and go from there? Start developing 3 scoring lines. This mentality is better for a team like the Rangers long term. This team should be scoring more goals, period.

There's something so blah about Tortorella for THIS hockey fan. Just my .02, as I don't think his system makes any sense at all for a team that has some of the best players in the world in the lineup.

Good luck tonight guys, see you Thursday at MSG.

please breakup the big line for the love of god

Agreed. The talent drop off from first to second is absolutely horrifying.

 

[Riverdale]

Agreed. The talent drop off from first to second is absolutely horrifying.

Why Torts can't see this, I don't know.

 

[trilobyte]

I watched a great game last night between the Canucks and the Blackhawks. Movement, speed, flow, puck support between teammates, tape to tape passes, rapid transitions. Did I say speed?

Hopefully, this type of thing won't be restricted to the Lightning today, but I have a strong feeling it will.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

as long as there are no Stepan and Boyle 2 on 1s...

 

[Vitto79]

please breakup the big line for the love of god

yea its needed. Bickel playing F is stupid too , especially with Rupp on a 3rd line now........Kreider hopefully is back next game

Hagelin, Richards, Nash
Kreider, Stepan, Gaborik
Pyatt, Boyle, Ferrerio
Rupp, Halpern, Asham

pray they hold the fort with Cally out.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What changed for the Bolts that they went from about as mediocre as possible to a juggernaut? WTF?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

No idea why the top line has lasted this long.

It really doesn't make sense.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Unstoppable power play and Lindback.
