AROUND THE LEAGUE:

FEBRUARY SCHEDULE:

QUOTES TO NOTE

We wanted to have a good start. We’ve been getting scored on first a lot this season.
It’s tough playing catch up in this league. That first goal is important. We ended up getting 2 so that was huge for us and we were able to close it up.
- Marc Staal

I don’t know if I had a goal in mind, but I guess just get pucks to the net and had one that went through him so I’ll take that.
I’m just trying to stay even keel here. Obviously, it was nice for me but even better we got the win on home ice and a big bounce back from last game.
We just have to keep looking forward.
- J.T. Miller

Miller, what is he? 19? He has a lot of puck poise for such a young kid.
To have kids come in and start filling in here is good stuff.
- John Tortorella

Time to get a streak going.

LGR!

**Machinehead** · 02-09-2013, 10:06 PM

We won our last game, therefore we will lose.

Boyle back in, please.

Lundsanity30 · 02-09-2013, 10:08 PM

Is Girardi going to be back?

**Killem Dafoe** · 02-09-2013, 10:09 PM

Three solid looking top lines. Let's see if we can string 2 together boys.

As long as hes on the 4th line. nash gabs richards stepan cally kreider miller hags pyatt is the top 9. maybe boyle on wing on 4th line with halpern and asham? Edit forgot powe replace asham with him

Bickel41 · 02-09-2013, 10:11 PM

We looked good against the Bolts last week. 4-2 win for the Blueshirts

**CaliDubiZib** · 02-09-2013, 10:12 PM

Tampa's been struggling. Take advantage

Yeah just put him in for Asham. It's ridiculous how much better Boyle is than Asham.

What is this ********? How "banged up" can he be 8 games into the season (not counting the games he didn't play)? Either he has an actual injury or friggin play. How is it that he can miss a 3rd straight game because he's "banged up"?

SnowblindNYR · 02-09-2013, 10:28 PM

Also why is McDonagh playing with Gilroy and not Stralman, am I missing something?

Bob Richards · 02-09-2013, 10:28 PM

I demand the presence of Boyle.

darko · 02-09-2013, 10:29 PM

Hopefully Danny G is back.

LGR

silverfish · 02-09-2013, 10:30 PM

STAY OUT OF THE BOX!

Let's go Rangers

I feel like Torts should show Boyle some trust and see if sitting lit a fire. Put em on a giant line with Nash. Try this:

Hagelin Richards Gaborik
Pyatt Boyle Nash
Miller Stepan Callahan (give miller less defensive responsibility by putting him on wing)
Kreider Halpern Powe (that line is fast, work Kreider in on the top lines)

Sit Asham - tb doesnt fight.

That's deep

Yep, Tampa is not a goon team as far as I know. Boyle is much better at playing hockey than Asham. BTW, this 4th line will better than the 3rd line we had against Pittsburgh.

Man that's cool

The returns from injury obviously helped, but i also credit Sather for some swift moves.

17futurecap · 02-09-2013, 10:43 PM

LGR! No Tyrell for Tampa tomorrow as I'm sure he will be claimed tomorrow at noon.

Kershaw · 02-09-2013, 10:46 PM

I think now is the time we see the real Henrik Lundqvist that has carried this team on his back single-handily for 7 years.

**Swedish Fish** · 02-09-2013, 10:48 PM

no joke i actually had a dream last night about the rangers taking an early penalty, i was so pissed in my dream lmfao.

Last game he showed up. Now would be nice time for him to go on a run
