Ask them what an offside is?

Hagelin is definitely this years surprise, he'll stick.

Haha yea exactly. Imagine where this years team would be with a PP

Anybody flipping back to the Caps/Isles game? Parenteau just snapped a nice one to make it 2-0 Isles. I wish he played like this when he was with us haha. Now he has Moulson and Tavares which is great for him.

I guess I'm alone on this but I'll keep saying it: I LOVE being able to watch up to 5 games a week nationally televised. Love it. I don't think the broadcast is that bad, it may be a tad bit dim, but it really doesn't bother me.

Really Mitchell?

Yep. They're similar teams. The arangers have the gamebreakers on offense, which is really the only difference between the two teams. They play a similar style.

A player I've noticed for Nashville is Gabriel Bourque. Small, tenacious player.

[DM Smiths]

Can we just get the puck?

I once was talking to someone who thought an icing was when a player skated up and stopped quickly in front the goalie, spraying him with snow.

[Machinehead]

[SRTtoZ]

Our defense has been pretty meh so far, especially the passing aspect.

Or they're accepting defeat and not playing their starter and hoping for the best

[iamitter]

Staal

[Rangerfan4life90]

Staal isn't at 100 percent yet

[Machinehead]

Staal sucks ass since he came back.

Our passing is complete *****. We can't connect for our lives crossd-ice

[Moosehead777]

I dont know what happens to the Rangers at times during games where they cant clear the zone and they stay stuck...and when they do get the puck they try to stick handle instead of getting it out and turn it over again.

[Crease]

Dubinsky refuses to take the puck to the net on a 2 on 2. No wonder he's not scoring.

I remember asking a friend this and the response I got was somewhere along the lines of "is that when the guy is like on the wrong side of the ice.........?" I lost all faith in humanity that day.
