Just like the first period, the Rangers really came on strong here. They’ve already scored 3 goals, have already hit 2 posts (maybe 3?), have drawn a lot of penalties through hard work, and sustained pressure, and are just flat out playing great. Though one has to wonder how much of this is on MAF, the most overrated goalie I’ve ever seen. The guy is a walking bumper out there. Everything that goes into him, comes back out into the slot. Rangers have noticed that and are driving hard to the net. This is a very strong showing for the boys in blue, just keep it going.
Just a though, Dubinsky has been playing some great hockey in this one. I was against putting him on the first line, but it seems to be working, get Hossa the hell off that line once Straka comes back, and we’re good to go.
Nigel Dawes has been invisible for a while now. hes a very streaky player. On for 3 games, off for 7 games, on for 5 games, off for 4 games, no consistency from him at all. I mean you literally don’t even notice him on the ice out there. Isn’t doing anything to make me take notice, not positively, not negatively.
Imho, he has to be sent back down once Cally is back.
