Sabres beat the Rangers in OT, but the Rangers picked up a point.? I’ll give my thoughts probably around midnight or so.? Got some work to do.

When the Rangers took the 3-1 lead all I could think was, please dont let up, please dont let up, for the love of god please dont let up.? Well, the hooking and bench minors we are taking certainly point to letting up.? The Sabers are playing a sloppy game and yet are only down by 1.? But the Rangers, till they took the 3-1 lead, were playing excellent hockey and earned the lead through hard work which led to legit calls.? So far the reffing, I would say, has been damn good, very even.? The Sabers are giving the Rangers a lot of respect in their own zone, which is helping us out a lot.? Teams that pressure the Rangers to cough up the puck, get just that, teams that let the Rangers read the play, get screwed.? Im sure Ruff will be saying just that to his guys during the 2nd intermission.? The key to this game is to not give up a goal early in the 3rd.? As long as we can kill of the powerplay, and play good smart hockey, we can win this, just dont let up or get cocky.? We may be winning, but the Sabers overcame a 3 goal defecit with unders 6 minutes to play just this week.? Trust me, it aint over till its over.

As I mentioned here, I felt the key to this game was the Rangers weathering the first period onslaught that I was sure the Sabers would unleash on us.? Sure enough the first 12 minutes or so were all Buffalo.? They carried the play, were fast, agressive, punishing, and smart.? They hit 1 goal post, scored 1 goal, and could have easily had 1 or 2 others.? But the fact remains that the good guys did their job.? They are going into the 2nd period only down 1, and that is a, well maybe not a good thing, but considering that they limited the damage, it is something to at least build upon.? The Rangers powerplay still looks annoyingly stationary unless Jagr moves to the offwing side.? Otherwise everyone just passes it to Jagr and lets him do his thing.? Its annoying, and I wish Renney would man up and change things up a bit w/ the pointmen we have out there.? Tell me, what on earth is the point of playing Bozolinsh if he doesnt play first unit powerplay?? It makes NO sense to me whatsoever.
Overall, besides Malik, I wasnt all that upset with the D.? Not much you can do when you got 5 roadrunners skating rings around you.

Get it, like Gooey, or sticky, get it….no huh? Well, anyways, this one is going to be short and sweet.? My take on the whole McGeough situation.? Deal with it, the guy has been screwing over the Rangers since? Day 1.? Easily the worst ref in hockey, and the most biased I might say, who loves to be the center of attention.? This guy is a joke, and anytime he refs a Rangers game I resign myself to the fact that the Rangers will be getting shafted.
Sorry Oiler fans, Ive heard this song far too long to be moved by your rendition.
