Stupid retards had to do the Ole chant. Cost me a shutout in two fantasy leagues. Can't just be happy beating Montreal.
You're still up by one point in our match...hopefully my goalies don't **** the bed tomorrow and have you winning in GAA and save%.
Also, didn't watch most of the game but it's good to see the result. Del Zaster another strong game, sounds like Staal had a good game, and Gabby is one closer to 40, plus BR keeps playing like an elite center. I'm all for it.
So, team wise, I noticed something today that is quite positive for the Rangers. A difference today, when comparing to the stretch they had the past 2ish months where they didn't play that well, is how fast they closed down the space when people were in their zone. For example, if the puck went back to a Montreal defenseman at the point, the winger got out and up really fast to take away the shooting lane. Also, when the puck went into the boards, the Rangers were really quick at getting there and preventing the Canadiens from digging it out and setting up a play. I think the most obvious example was Staal in the end of the 3rd period where the was just bouncing people off the puck repeatedly in the defensive zone.
In general, they just looked a lot fresher and faster than usual. That's a really good sign!
They've actually been doing that for the past week or so especially in the closing half of the 3rd period it's been very noticeable even without sam and joe pointing it out every game. Great neutral zone D and pressure on the puck carrier nobody gets easy entry into our zone. They were hurt for a month guys were out, other guys were put in increased roles as a result, Hank had his one off month plus a bout with the flu and had to get his timing back it happens. Clearly the Goduins two losses to the Isles shows what many seem to ignore around here which is that an 82 game schedule has highs and lows. What matters now is finishing strong and winning some playoff games. Don't worry bout the ole chant and your "jinx" that stuff isn't real.

Haha, is that you I am playing in league 1? I hope it comes down to a Sunday nailbiter. I pulled two wins out of my ass last Sunday. One against a guy who was inactive all week and I was furious I almost lost to him in the semis.

Time will tell. Bickel also has the benefit of playing with on a better team, especially defensively. Flaws and all, Strudwick did play more than 600 NHL games.
Wade Belak (May he rest in peace) also played 549 games.
Who do you guys think we'll play in Round 1 if we clinch 1st?
I'm thinking that the return of Backstrom will spark the Caps to finish real strong and take the SE. Shootouts will come back to haunt FLA and will finish 8th.
Not sure if they showed it on the MSG broadcast but at the Garden last night they did a nice little intro for Torts' friend Liam, who was at the game with his family. He got a nice ovation from the fans which was a really nice moment.

Awesome to hear.
Didn't catch the game due to work but I heard they kept showing Knicks highlights and it wound up being booed. Happy to hear that as well
