This isn’t the first time Jed has flubbed a pass or a clearing attempt or failed to get “all” of a shot. It happens so frequently I’m not sure why it hasnt been resolved yet. Ortmeyer needs new sticks. It just comes down to that. The kid consistently shoots over the puck, and has to adjust for the awkwardness of that by bending down to one knee when he shoots. Its a strange thing because if he just gets a stick more suited for his “touch” with the puck, I think it would be resolved.
I wasnt expecting a win in this one to be honest, I sort of have this road map of what I think the Rangers will do to get into the playoffs and this was one of my few losses that I picked on the schedule. Getting anything here would be a major steal if you ask me. So lets not completely blow it by at least picking up 1 points.
BTW, whats up with the walking wounded? Add Rachunek to the list of sprained MCLers, he will likely be out 3-4 weeks as well. Speaking of the walking wounded, did you guys catch Brendan Shanahan mentioning that he was skating into boards on purpose to test the concussion. Gotta love the guy, hes just so damn likable its crazy.
