Great game. I start Hank tomorrow night too even if that wasn't the original plan. He didn't get a lot of work tonight.

I laughed WAY too hard at this.
Every single pic I took at the game came out blurry. Neat.

I would start Hank tomorrow.
3 points out of a playoff spot and our next game is against Edmonton.
He wasn't tested much outside of the 3rd and we have had all this time off.

He sucks, bro. He wasn't a standout in his first 20 games, therefore he's garbage.
Seriously, though, he was insanely impressive tonight, and has been impressive overall lately. Don't like when Sam was talking about how Hayes/Miller have contributed but not Fast. Fast looks like a keeper.

Glad to be able to check Vancouver off my list of places to watch the Rangers play. Wish that game was more competitive though. The Canucks looked like absolute garbage and it killed the whole vibe in the arena. Terrible game from those dudes.
I think by the end of the year we'll see this
Zucc-Brassard-Nash
Kreider-Stepan-MSL
Hagelin-Hayes-Miller
Fast-Moore-Stempniak
Duclair
Projected 4th line totals over 82 GP Season:
Fast: 10g 16 A 26 P
Moore 3g 24 A 27 P
Stempniak 17g 20 A 37 P
I'm biased, but I still can't really find a weakness in these forward corps. Maybe they're lacking that truly elite centerman, but they have a decent 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th line centermen. If a player in the top 6 is struggling, swap him with a guy in the bottom 6 like they did with Kreider and not miss a beat.
Now if they can find a defense partner for Staal...

We're stacked at forward. **** an "elite C". We're deep at every position up front with Fast/Miller/Hayes contributing like they have been. Stepan's already fourth on the team in scoring despite playing half the games of everyone else, anyway, guy's a stud.

Moore played fine. He was physical in front and willing to defend hags. He made smart plays all night and played the late 2 on 1 correctly by taking away the pass.
Knee jerk assessments of players nights based upon one play is understandable if you adhere to the narrative that he's the worst player on the ice. Before the game starts.
He was fine. The team destroyed a pretty solid opponent on the road.
He's your 6th dman. Period.
Rangers ftw

Hayes continues to impress, same goes for Fast. Hayes positioning is excellent and combined with his size and playmaking skills, his future looks bright, well done by management to convince him to go here. Fast is growing by the game and hopefullt he is the end of the Glass era.

Just watched the replay. What was up with all the breakaways? haha
Glad we have another game today, I'm on vacation. So I can catch the EDM game.

I don't see what is wrong with Dan Boyle. If you want to upgrade John Moore then that is a different discussion.
But I agree the Rangers have a strength in their offensive depth. That 4th line has a lot more offensive ability than the one we iced last season.
This team is very similar to last year's in that the personnel on hand has a lot of potential and it takes time for a team to develop, grow, and build a culture and identity for each season. The Canucks may be playing over their heads this year imo but they still went into last night's game with 38 points and the Rangers made them look like the Hurricanes. The Rangers were simply too fast for Vancouver and when they play like they did last night they are too fast for pretty much every team in the NHL. This is a good team we have on our hands. The Rangers have a favorable schedule in the next 10 games. They have a chance to really take off and start leaping over teams in the East. They need consistency. The infusion of youth has been a breath of fresh air. Miller has added some energy to the squad with his tenacious play. The Rangers need Hayes to continue to impress. Fast has been very steady and it is about time some fans are starting to realize this; he is an important part of this team. Keep moving forward. Beat Edmonton tonight.

This. Im really happy with this lineup. Maybe if Duclair can eventually split time with Stemp...that would be lovely. Glass can sub in for 'tough' opponents.

Came here to post about Zuke. Not about his two goals (which were great) but what he has been doing defensively to cover for a pinching defenseman when the Rangers lose possession and their opponent is on rush with a potential man advantage. Zuke's tenacity and excellent defensive reads have been on display in these situations at least once or twice pretty much every game!
