It’s Go Time!

Published by

on

Rangers ( 30-32-7 ) vs Hurricanes ( 30-27-11 ). TV-MSG

Carolina is still hopeful they can make it, so another desperate team.

The Rangers? Well, I hope you realized by now they will not tank!

Add DD to a long list of injured. He is out with a middle body injury ( kidney stones qualify if my anatomy is still ok. That’s a new one too! )

Nobody’s prucha’d.

    Carolina 71
    Brooklyn 70
    Chicago 68
    Rangers 67
    Edmonton 64
    Detroit 63
    Montreal 62

    we’ve played 69 games as has Brooklyn
    chicago played 70 games
    others played 68 games

    montreal at columbus
    detroit at san jose
    carolina at rangers

    if we win and montreal and/or detroit lose in regulation that throws them too far back probably

    if we lose to carolina in regulation that moves them out of our sight for now

    so big games all around tonight

    Huge shout-out to Darling and Peters for the poor goaltending and weird early goalie pull. Nice game for Vesey, Buch and the Z’s, and of course Boy George. But very good indeed by Staal, Pionk and O’Gara, esp. after they had to go with 5. Staal blocked about 20 shots–I may be exaggerating.

  106. Old Ranger Fan Avatar

    Lots of bad teams in the league. They might have been able to squeeze into the playoffs by beating. Gorton had the onions to try to not do that and try to build a contender. 44 shots allowed still is a recipe to mediocrity at best. Hopefully the new coach will work on that. AV doesn’t seem inclined to.

  107. Norm Merton Avatar
    Norm Merton

    High shot count but many of them were right at the logo, easily saved. Not a bad plan, lots of rubber at the net, rookie goalie, but that was a much more even game than the shot-count shows. Gilmour and Skjei not as disciplined as the other three, but they made some good outlet plays here and there.
