Rangers-4, Capitals-2

Good morning, boneheads!

I was going to write something this morning, but instead had to clean up the garbage from last night. Fivefins, leave the politics out of this place. You’re suspended for a few days again. Not the first time. This will be your last warning though.

Let’s get this out of the way. I love the new reverse retros. But they look like blended mess on TV. Can’t see the numbers at all. Sam mixes up players as it is, good luck with these.

Washington didn’t have their best game, let’s be honest. But a lot of positives that should not be missed. First time I could notice defensive structure. Something that D-men had no problems to follow, and the forwards helped out.

Remember we talked about Bitetto and 3 games he had to play in order to be expansion draft eligible? Forget it, they need to find a way to protect him! 🙂

Kidding aside, there is no reason not to like their top 4. Fox remains Fox, Trouba and Lindgren were monsters last night, and Miller will be a monster soon enough.

Zibanejad is starting to show some signs of recovery. Boy they need him if they want to do any better than .500.

Buchnevich scored the EN because he was there to defend 5 on 6. Yes, I just said it. He was there to DEFEND

Lastly, how many two on ones with Panarin being one of them, do not end in the net? I don’t think too many.

Almost forgot. The goaltending was OK 🙂

    Some prospect updates:
    Nils scored the other night. Has 23 points in 32 games. So he’s a really good defenseman.
    Will Cuylle and Morgan Barron both scored in their AHL debuts
    BDL’s boy Berard has 3 goals and 6 points in 12 games. But he’s a minus-3 in those 12 games and we know how he feels abuot that so…

    When did Berard become my guy? You left out Tarmo. He also scored yesterday, and added a helper.

    Well you said he had a good tournament. You need a guy. I’ve been told I have Georgiev, Zibanejad, Chytil. You have to start having a few too. *shrug*

    Off topic:

    Know what? If you want to follow professional chefs on social media or read about recipes and how stuff is made, you need to get over this crap with the butter and the salt. It’s called COOKING. It requires ingredients. Stop your whining and groaning about “this recipe would be fantastic BUT there’s just so much salt!” (1 tablespoon)…

    “can this be made without butter and without cheese?”

    “well Sally, you see…It’s fettuccine f***g alfredo. That’s going to be a little tough. F off and eat a salad. Hold the dressing”

    The Minx doesn’t have all the answers but the cupboard ain’t bare. It just may be time to trade our 1st and whatever else it may take to bring in the pivot we are all screaming for? This upcoming draft is supposedly D heavy any thought Boneheads?

    I’m kind of unusually nervous today. It’s seems to me be an important game psychologically. Fishies’ spirit is up after breaking their skidding with victory. If Rangers will manage to win, it would break Isles confidence for a long, establishing Rangers superiority over them and let it call a real winning series for our team.

    Is it me, or do I just have this sinking suspicion that Nils Lundqvist won’t be coming over here?

    I also have a feeling it’s gonna be a “feel good” night for the Fishsticks… they are due for one of those successful Trotz trap-style games.

    AA, I think you need a feel good night too so go try this Fettuccine Byfuglien Alfredo JamesG is referring to. Add another pint of heavy cream and an extra cup of Parmesan 😃

    James,

    emulate the French (langue d’oil) lots of butter – few heart attacks.

    Now, pain in the liver…

    By the by.

    Getting my first jab (Pfizer) at VA tomorrow. If it kills me, I’ll let you know but I suspect since I studied French so many years, I’ll just have liver pain.

    Does it follow then that Bennett also hates the blog?

    Got my first Pfizer shot on Friday. My arm was sore for a day. No other side effects. The second shot is the one that is supposed to hit you hard.
