The last half dozen or so games youve been hearing a lot of positives from me.? This theme will continue as I continue to see much better play from the good guys.? Three players in particular have impressed me as they have elevated their game considerably.? First and foremost was Petr Prucha who had a FANTASTIC first period, creating several scoring chances for himself, AND for his teammates, as well as showing us some flashes of skill that he has.? He still isnt taking the body like he did last year, but im not so sure thats a negative.? Rachunek has also improved his game tremendously.? Hes taken the body, been assertive with and without the puck, and seems a LOT more confident now that hes paired with Kaspar (surprising considering how much of a liability Kaspar can be at times).? Finally Rozsival, whom most of you know I have never been a fan of, has looked flat out GREAT the last half dozen or so games.? Hes been a notch better than Rachunek, and has shown a nasty streak, and the willingness to stick up for his teammates, and been a lot smarter with the penalties he takes.
On to the first period where the 3 standouts….well….stood out…. we flat out dominated the Flyers.? It wasnt even a close period despite the 1 goal differential.? The Flyers should feel very lucky to only be trailing by 1, as they look pretty well beatable.
Henrik coulda been laid out in a lawn chair as the bulk of the period was spent in the Flyers zone.? Expect more of the same, Rangers just look worlds better than the Flyers.? Thats not necessarily a compliment for our guys, but more of a put down on the Flyers….They stink.
