Rick Nash 61
The Best
If that had gone in maybe people would stop complaining that he has a noodle shot. He ripped that one.

There were two guys in the Devils lineup last night that possibly would drop the gloves with Glass--Mark Fraser and Jordin Tootoo and Fraser wasn't playing like an *******--he played how he normally plays. Tootoo got pissed at Hunwick--the refs got on LL's case and he calmed him down. It's not worth Glass running around taking penalties trying to goad somebody to fight him--we were (unlike the Devils at least until the last period) trying to actually win the game. Merrill, Larsson and Gelinas weren't going to fight Glass. They're big guys--they're not tough guys. You would have pretty much had the same reaction from any of them as you did from Hunwick avoiding Tootoo if Glass had tried to push it and likely we would have been stuck killing more penalties.
Tough guys usually just fight other tough guys--once in a while **** happens where if a tougher guy is especially riled they go after someone not so tough and lay a beating on them if somebody doesn't run interference for the victim. Not so tough guys sometimes fight other not so tough guys. That's generally how it goes. There really aren't very many mismatches when it comes to NHL fights. Now in the AHL however....it happens more often.
FWIW Glass has played a lot better this past month than he has all season. That doesn't mean I personally would rather have him in the lineup than Sheppard. Maybe the Rangers acquiring Sheppard lit a bit of a fire under Glass's ass. Even so AV does use Glass on the PK--and he's generally okay at that--and Glass does land some pretty good hits now and again.

His slapshot is so underused it's ridiculous. Probably one of the best on the team.

hey hanrahan!
I agree!
If Rick Nash scored when the going gets tough and we need a player of his skill to get that final tally, I would totally get off his back for not scoring when the going gets tough and we need a player of his skill to get that final tally.
Some people are hard to please when what they fear is actually happening.

Grabbed a copy of the Post. Skipped the News because instead of the Rangers they had Tanaka on the cover. Like that was Monday already, there's 161 games left, get over it.

why is my name here?
Don't know why he doesn't do it more often. His first year in NY he took tons of shots similar to that and it worked.

Was at the game last night, a lot of fun obviously. I was in the corner the Rangers shoot twice in the lower bowl and was surrounded by Ranger fans. I will say though that there were more Devil fans than I thought there would be. 50/50 split of fans seems like a pretty fair assessment of the crowd.
Been fun torturing the Devils since 2012. In 2013 we knocked them out of playoff contention and then embarrassed them in the final home game, in 2014 we chased Marty and embarrassed them on national TV and also put a huge dent in their playoff chances with Hank's record setting shutout, and this year we win the Presidents Trophy on their ice. Gets better and better every year

You'd see a lot more of them if the Devils were a good team. They like to hide when they are losing. Not a peep from any of the Devils fan friends that I have.

This is something that AV needs to address. Go ahead and play soft, you don't think for one NY MINUTE that Ottawa won't try and crush us to get the puck? They NEED this win, we only NEED this win for Hank and our "home ice through the mother **** ing playoffs pride".
This AV team is too smart for that. No let up, for fear of regaining our "special winning touch". Okay, I'm overstating the obvious a bit. Sorry.

But had we gotten Malkin then we wouldn't have gotten......Stepan? I dunno, started off as a joke, but now that I think about it......HELP ME PLEASE! I have Presidents trophy disease.

Its never going to be "easy", but if there ever was a possible Stanley Cup run that "may be" somewhat easy......it could be this year.
The way this team plays on the road, we could easily be up 3 games to 1 in EVERY series. Whether we split at home, then sweep the next 2.........then end it in a glorious 5 games. Rest......., then on to the next overmatched opponent.

I think the Rangers let down a bit after clinching a playoff spot and we got the Boston and Washington games that were pretty blah, and we might get that in the last two gmes this season...not outright phoning it in but just not a sense of urgency that you sometimes need

I guess they only lost because of you. Stop going to games.

Yeah, not sure what he expects with his user name. Even his avatar is a fail. Of course the Rangers lose when he attends games.

Sorry. I'll change my username to "Rangers Are The Best" in order to make everyone happy.

Certainly would be more appropriate when we just won the Presidents Trophy. You and Fire Sather are behind the times.

If a certain thing happens in June, I already have a username thought out. It's so awesome. I promise.
I asked Fire Sather if he would ever change his name and he said he wouldn't even though he thinks Sather has done a really good job recently.
