Hagelin was good as well. Strong defensive game. I liked Stempniak's game too.
Missing Brassard hurt, and it was a sluggish game after playing last night. But there were things to like here from a Rangers standpoint.
The real negative was how boring it was, but scoring almost 3 goals per game, it's nice to see we can still win a boring one.

I think he's been fine. He's a solid bottom 6 guy that chips in here and there. He is what he is.
Brassards creativity and way he sees ice is really missed by this team. Hank and staal helped us get these two points. Gonna need more contributors Tuesday against a desperate flames team

Good they made the lead stand up. However, I will never ever like seeing a 1 goal lead for so long, and such a lack of offense for a prolonged stretch. Quite obviously, my worries were for nothing, so that makes me wrong tonight.
But, cannot help it, it makes me quite nervous.

Yup. He's looked like a passenger lately . Not being as aggressive and going to net like he did early in the season

The reason the game looked like it did was because that's the only way Edmonton can play and stay in games. They end up losing regardless, though, sans a crazy bounce.

Jeez, I DVRed this game and just finished it. Wow what a boring hockey game. At least they got the 2 points.

This is the truth. McDonagh is slowly getting better each game, getting back to form. Hank looks much better, his movements are more controlled, he's definitely tracking the puck better. Good stuff from those two.
Marc Staal was a monster last night and tonight. That's the guy we want to see.

Anyone notice Sam called Justin Shultz, Nick Schultz the whole game. That was pretty funny.
Yup, he's always been great on the 2nd night of B2B, Torts used to always play him in them. I saw some people on twitter whining that Hank was starting pointing to the overwhelming stats that say goalies are worse on the 2nd night of a B2B, but not looking at that fact that Hank has always been good in them. Not all goalies are created equal.

I wonder if Hank gets the start Tuesday and save Cam for one of the back to backs against Carolina.

That would be the smart thing to do, though AV sometimes makes weird decisions with the starter.

Good win, offense wasn't that great but thats the way the oilers make you play since they suck. With the flames canes and caps coming up this team could get on a serious roll here. Hopefuly brass is back by the canes series.
I would tentatively throw Kreider and Zuccarello into that mix, I thought both put in a strong weekend.

I actually had set an alarm for 3:30am over here, but I wasn't able to get up. Watched the condensed version on NHL.com this morning, not knowing the result of course. Even those 11 minutes were boring.
Very happy we took the 2 points though. Beat a good team the night before, the Oilers had lost 14 of 15 - it had "loss" written all over it and our guys won. Also, our D appears to be headed in the right direction lately. McD showing flahses of last year's brilliance certainly helps in that regard.

Take this win for what it's worth.
Back to back nights on a western road trip without our top center. Edmonton, well rested, tried to get a win out of a style of play in which clogging the neutral zone and disrupting the Rangers breakout was their only chance.
We got 2 desperately needed points out of this game and did not give EDM much at all to work with, either. Take the win and move on.

Geez, I thought the MSG ice was bad. That was brutal.
Throw out the tape, and keep the wins coming
