anyone see that diving stop by GhostBear to keep Columbus from clearing the puck at the end of the third? Damn that dude is fun to watch!

watching the flyers in a shootout is painful.

It's gonna come down to that Wings/Flyers game in the last week I think, barring the Bruins total collapse. Which hey...I can dream.



Det needs to step it up.. Sadly they are so easy to defend.. breakouts they do a three pass and the final pass is through the slot. which is easy to defend and other teams are doin it. the times they try to go up middle or boards its a pussy shot that the other team stops and keeps in zone/poss.

kronwall and ericsson look so slow and lost i cant stand it. kronner had regressed in skill 10fold. again he takes a penalty on a pkill. that had to be the second time in three games he did that. hell half the guys arent moving their feet even on a breakout. too much standing around and watching.

They are so predictable in the ozone too. they usually try to go outside and then throw the puck to the center like its nhl 1994 on snes. every fucking time. its so hard to watch.

I have played hockey for twenty years and now I am a coach and not saying that means dick but just for idea of what i was taught and for how long. what i see is Det is lacking so many fundementals its sickening to watch. Breakouts, regroups, taking away passing lanes, keeping opp wide, situational dump outs...

The thing i hate most is the repititiveness.. on our board we have written the quote of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expectin different results. Det is sadly trying to force pucks when noone is up the middle and trying to do the same breakout everytime regardless of the opp postioning. Hockey is about "angles, and reading and reacting".

Sadly I think the streak ends this year...

Oh boy, another Wings fan has arrived.

Wings are definitely the closest they have been to missing out. Hopefully my Rangers can help you out with a win tonight!

Side note: I never understood the Cubs fans that are Wings fans as well.

Still, the Wings are playing like they don't want it either. That's a really bad result for them last night too.

I want both of y'all to get in. Let's just hope the Bruins pretty much lose out.

Feeling the love and support for tonight's game! Lets go Rangers! More than just your fans to represent tonight!


P.S. Barbs, I took you saying the Bruins should lose out as you pulling for the Rangers tonight. Thanks for all the support!

:lol awesome.

Has a really good chance of those two teams being there in the end. Then again, anything can happen in the playoffs.

I was more confident in January of the Kings going to the Finals than I am now. Even though they seem to be clicking on all sides of the ice, it feels like the are missing a piece to go all the way. Maybe I'm just being cautious.

Although, Dowd looked very good in his debut last night, I think they will keep him in the roster and send down Shore. We will also have to see how Gaborik is when he returns. Quick is playing his best (aside from the last two games), Doughty playing his best, Toffoli...Lucic has really melded well with the team. They have all the right pieces but I feel they are going to fall short.

Ah, got it. Unfortunately, not an option right now. Smaller size will have to do!

It is funny, because when I watch the Kings play the Rangers I hate them soooo much; but only because it reminds me of what the Rangers are not. That and they keep crushing the Rangers after going down early in every game against them.

The Kings are very good. I have watched them a lot over the last week. They are honestly my pick in the West right now. Yes the Ducks, Blues, Stars and Hawks are good too. Really, the Hawks are the only team that I think could beat LA, and so far they have not been able to.

If the Kings were wearing Rangers jerseys, I would be saving money to go to the finals.

I'm just over critical of them, as I'm sure you understand. I can understand you hating them, If I wasn't a Kings fan and only a Rangers fan, I'd hate them too. It's honestly hard for me to even think of myself as a Rangers fan anymore as I'm so detached from them. It's funny how it switched by me moving to LA. Before I was die hard NY with Kings as a fun team to cheer for. Now I'm all about LA and am so out of touch with NY.
