It’s Go Time!

Rangers (22-22-7) vs Kings (20-27-4), 7 pm start, TV-MSG, NHLN

Kings are much worse than the Rangers this year. Good thing they have Kovalchuk and his $6.25M cap hit for this year and the next two. He is on the pace of being paid around $300K per goal. Imagine Gorton signing him last July instead?

Looks like they are going with 7 D again, so DeAngelo is in

McLeod prucha’d

    “It’s an emotional game, I’m a competitor and sometimes I can lose control a little bit, but I’m working on it,” the southern New Jersey native said. “But I have to say that I’m much better now than I was in the past. I’ve got people helping me with it, but I’m also working on helping myself. I want to be able to stay on the ice.”

    I recall Cooper dressing 7 D a lot a few gears back. They did it because they didn’t have 12 forwards they wanted to dress and it worked out ok for them. Giving McLeod’s 6 minutes to someone else is not a bad idea.

    Kings are old and slow and the Rangers didn’t respect them tonight. This should have been an easy win,but, in the second half of the game they stopped getting the puck to the net, got too fancy and then coughed It up a couple of times. Also just like 2014 they were outplayed between the pipes.
