I went to bed before the second period started last night, so there won’t be a full goal breakdown. My apologies on that. But just because I went to bed, it doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun with a post this morning. Let’s go through some pros and cons from last night’s game.
Pro: Hey, they salvaged one point on this three game road trip.
Con: This three game road trip was against three terrible teams.
Pro: Tanner Glass scored!
Con: Tanner Glass shouldn’t be your best skater over these three games.
Pro: Dylan McIlrath has been solid.
Con: It’s scary how low our expectations are when a good pass out of the defensive zone to start a rush gets us all giddy and excited.
Pro: Emerson Etem is finally getting playing time…
Con: On the fourth freaking line again.
Pro: The Rangers won the possession battle for all three games!
Con: Winning the possession battle doesn’t mean you will win games.
Pro: The Rangers won the possession battle, so the process is right!
Con: Uh, did you watch these tire fires? The defense is terrible.
Pro: We’ve identified the defense as a major issue for this team.
Con: No one else thinks the defense is a major issue for this team.
Pro: We warned that these losses were coming, despite better possession numbers.
Con: The losses are coming, with no end in sight.
Pro: They came back from down 4-1 last night.
Con: Why in the world were they down 4-1 to the Calgary Flames?
Pro: They tied the game late on the powerplay, showing big cajones.
Con: Why in the world were they down 4-1 to the Calgary Flames?
Pro: The Rangers have an easy game against the Oilers on Tuesday at home, a perfect game to get back on track.
Con: Uh, did you watch Friday night’s game?
Pro: No more west coast games!
Con: Until March.
