1 goal in 38 games.Rooney can't score in the AHL
Maybe he's scored on Cory in practice though, at some point.
He did have 14 in 71 games last year though.

I agree with @Devils Dominion in regards to Seney. But I also see your point. I think he’s here out of necessity and because somebody needs to play these games.No one wants Rooney, no one wants Q back, now we don't want Seney either?
Someone has to play in these games.
Honestly, Kinkaid made a couple saves with his glove better than that tonight. So I'm not trying to discredit Lundqvist here, as much as I'm just trying to state the complete and utter truth that Kevin Rooney is a complete and utter scrub of a player at the NHL level.
The guy with the best hair was the best player tonight.
He's a power forward with skills and a wicked shot.
Senzzzz gave him away for brassard

That guy is also a techno DJ. Look it up
I’ve thought he looked pretty raw for a while. I think he could be much more than what he is now but he’s very limited at this juncture.He is up here because they believe he belongs.
People are upset, and are lashing out at anything and everything that makes a mistake.
Actually Zucariello makes that line go. Two of the hat trick goals were pretty nifty feeds from him. The first cross ice pass on the power play; then the no look pass to send Zibanajad in all alone on the game winner.The guy with the best hair was the best player tonight.

Let's be serious here, are the Rangers really a heavy forechecking team? They might be more than when AV was the coach there (AV and forecheck just don't go together) but are they really a forechecking team?Actually Zucariello makes that line go.

But you’re also right that his size and strength - and that of Kreider and Hayes too give us trouble. We had a couple of other shifts in the last ten minutes when they had us pinned.
Face it, heavy forecheck teams give us fits. Our D is terrible at breaking up a forecheck or making a good first exit pass. Even when they haven’t been trapped on the ice for like 2 minutes.
Think maybe Hynes should have used his time out after Boyle’s icing? In hindsight wish he had.
I hate to lose to the Rangers. More than to other teams.
Saw this right after the game winning goal. I think you jinxed it.Nephew just asked me what if Rooney scored the OT winner.
What is our record when MarJo scores this season?
I can understand another one year extension based off of last season (which I give him very little credit for, outside of benching Schneider at the end of the season) and the playoffs, but a multi-year extension? This game right here really made me forget how much I hated Hynes before we found out that Cory was shot to shit. This felt like a game from one of his first two seasons. And I don't mean the final score, as much as the inability to generate an even strength scoring chance. It's not like we couldn't put anything together against a team like Tampa or Pittsburgh or Toronto. Getting legitimately outclassed by the Rangers was embarrassing.Skipped the third and really can’t say that I’m surprised or disappointed with the result. I’m really finding myself having a hard time giving a **** knowing our coach is untouchable. Then again, if the goal is to finish at the very bottom of the barrel, he may be exactly who we need to make sure that happens, I don’t know. Can’t blame him for the goaltending (sort of) or the injuries. Ray also didn’t help him much in assembling this year’s roster. All that said, it just really bothers the hell out of me that he got an extension with results like this. I just can’t get on board with that and its left me extremely frustrated with the team this season.
Hey happy Birthday all the same.Let's be serious here, are the Rangers really a heavy forechecking team? They might be more than when AV was the coach there (AV and forecheck just don't go together) but are they really a forechecking team?
Or did they just look like a forechecking team tonight, due to the Devils looking like something from the prehistoric era? I would not call the Rangers a heavy forechecking team. If they are supposed to be one, they aren't that good at actually being one, but they probably looked like a great one tonight. Much like when the 16-17 Canadiens looked like the 70's Canadiens against us in 16-17.
And about the icing and timeout, I don't believe you're allowed to use your timeout after an icing anymore, as of this year, per league rules.

This game was really only close because our power play had an extremely rare on-night and Lundqvist felt bad and decided to give us a freebie after Keith let in that very poor goal to Kreider less than a minute earlier. And another reason the game was close was because it was the Rangers and not Toronto or TB, who would have smoked us out of the building.
This roster is trash, so much for our great farm system
