"The feeling?s not great right now. We didn?t deserve to win that game. I mean, great that we did, and you need to find ways to win those games,and that was a greasy road win. But definitely not good enough."

[Phil]

Be competitive. And lose. Please.

[fletch]

NBC coverage, so I'll be able to catch at least some of the second and third periods. LGR!

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

 

Why Vesey?

[Ozzy]

Calling now:

 

Outshot 38-25

[Blue Heaven]

Be competitive. And lose. Please.

 

As much as I agree with this, according to this (http://www.tankathon.com/nhl/pick_odds) the Rangers are shit out of luck for acquiring a Top 3 pick. I cant see too many teams jumping over the Rangers in the standings, and if the Rangers do drop then its probably be a couple of spots.

[Albatrosss]

yup...we'll be picking 9th

[lefty9]

if we are lucky

Probably. But there's still more value in picking at say 5th than at 10th.

[AliveIn94]

yup...we'll be picking 9th

What'll Hayes Zucc Smith and a 2nd rounder get us?

We did get Leetch at #9 overall back in '86, if that has any sustain to it.....

[CBrowningPI]

Maybe McQuaid can do his body slam on Sid. Just dreamin'.

Why Vesey?

From what I noticed the last couple of games, Vesey seemed to take the nights off. He was more stationary then skating and when he did involve himself in a play he managed to just make really stupid decisions with the puck.

Rangers have had some good chances, and long stretches where they controlled the play.

[CBrowningPI]

Yup. Their outworking Pitts so far

More solid D by Shattenkirk on that one.

[josh]

Guy was holding Shattenkirk ‘s stick.

Unfortunate goal.

[Blueshirts1926]

Staal pussy footing around band not clearing the penguin out in front of the net. Hockey 101 ! You have to go to the net to score vs having 3 guys in the corner. Lousy 2nd period

[Karan]

Embarrassment. This one's over.
