Game 8: Rangers vs Leaves
The Rangers travel to Toronto to take on the lowly Leafs, who are still looking for their first win. Lundqvist should be in goal, and Brashear should rejoin the lineup. All other lines and D pairings look the same.
This has the makings of a trap game. Rangers are hot, Leafs need a win. Rangers did beat up on them last week.
Use this as your open thread. Watch the game, discuss and have fun. Let’s get a lot of comments!
( That’s not a typo in the title. As Dave pointed out, Toronto has spelled “Leafs” wrong for years. Should be “Leaves”. Hence the change in name)
When the Sabres are on in Buffalo, MSG doesn’t air the game. Need updates.
Need updates as well. Will be watching Yankee game (I know, I know, what kind of Ranger fan am I?). Just watching a little bit before the Yankees, someone needs to step up and protect Hank. Dave wrote about it earlier, but teams are going to continue to crash the net until there is a threat of getting hit. Doesn’t have to be a fight, per se, but there has to be some punches thrown, words exchanged.
Dubi just scored, on a 4 on 4. Took it end to end, had Prospal along side, crept in and shot it over the goalie’s glove. Great shot. And that was after the Rangers killed off a 5 on 3. Good work
Awesome first period, IMO. Waiting for a fight though. Tempers are constantly flaring between the two teams.
Dubi’s goal was ridiculous. Can’t wait for the inevitable fight to break out… never thought I’d say it but hockey > baseball playoffs
3-0! Staal and MDZ, MDZ on the PP. Now back to the Yanks
Ian White cuts it to 3-1
Seven in a row sounds nice.
It sure does
