It’s Go Time!

Rangers (10-8-2) vs Stars (11-7-2), 7 pm start, TV-MSG

The Rangers will play 4 games this week, including back to back Friday and Saturday.

Zuccarello remains out, and instead of recalling Vinny Letierri back they recalled Steven Fogarty. Fogarty, who is a natural center, is playing on the wing, those allowing Andersson to remain at center. Fogarty, who played one game in NY last season, is tied for first in goals (7) and second in points (14) in 20 games with the Wolf Pack this season.

Projected lineup:

Namestnikov-Zibanejad-Fast

Kreider-Hayes-Chytil

Vesey-Howden-Strome
McLeod-Andersson-Fogarty

Smith-DeAngelo

Staal-Pionk

Claesson-Shattenkirk

Skjei prucha’d

Hank in net.

LGR!!!!!

    Skjei is Zucced. My gut tells me Zucc is being held out because trade is close.

    Ben Bishop is getting the start tonight for Dallas, a back-to-back for him. Why you ask? Stars coach Jim Montgomery pointed to Bishop’s career numbers against the Rangers – 10-2-0 with a 1.94 GAA, .931 SV% and 2 shutouts.

    typical ranger’s game, lundqvist needs to stand on his head for the rangers to have a shot at 2 points. Luckily the stars have been missing the net on good opportunities.

    What a garbage game. One of those “every single Ranger will either overskate the puck or pass to nobody” specials.

    That goal by Vesey though. He’s missed 20 point blank chances this season, then gets one falling down on a no look backhand. What a universe we live in.

    I personally feel like they got it together after Vesey’s Ovechgoal…. Then took over in the 3rd against a tired Dallas team. Still have to learn killer instinct, but you have to love the way this team keeps finding a way. I thought for sure after that garbage start, they were doomed… But this team continues to shut me up… and I love it.

    Isles gave devastating blow to Rangers, Dallas gave devastating blow to Isles, Rangers just blow Stars… Go figure. Chytil, as I predicted, will be exiting to watch in the years to come, already on the pace of 65 goals.
    Lisa is a hard working Swedish Heavyload Horse. Name is excellent defensively, – took relay button from Nash (now need take some scoring too). Averish D’Angelo overcompensate size by good skating, quick thinking, dissent passes, taste for offence and certain feistiness. Hank is Hank. Veterans, “despised” Staal including, play solidly when needed, Claesson was a pleasant surprise and team as whole is relentless at forechecking and not too easy to play against. All other and others are variables like any other team. Something to build on and could surprise anyone this season.

    Pig oink and Staal always matched up against teams first lines and a lot of PP and end of game 6on5s.

    Been paying more attention since the garbage Shayna article about the possession and shots stats.

    What second year player is tasked with the caliber of matchups they are facing. Not many I reckon. Hence the Rub with that charting.
    The Shayna fanboys like Roger D will hear none of that over there.
