Rangers Win, Move to .500 in Preseason
What a difference a week makes. Last week at this time, the Rangers were 0-3 in preseason and everyone was panicking. After yesterday’s 3-2 win over Washington, the Rangers have won three straight and now sit at .500. More importantly, they are scoring goals, and creating offense.
I personally did not catch the game, I was at work for a long, long time, but I watched the highlights, which naturally gives me reason to analyze the entire game based on the five goals they showed on TSN.ca. Much talk will be made of Marian Gaborik’s two goals, including one shortie, but the play of the game goes to Brandon Dubinsky, who powered through one hit, and got laid out seconds later, but was able to dish the puck to Christopher Higgins, who buried the game winner with just over a minute to go. Well, at least that’s what it looked like in the highlights.
I noticed that Henrik Lundqvist got beat high glove again, granted it was on a shot by Alex Semin. Not a big deal, it’s preseason after all.
And just a reminder to those participating, the BSB fantasy hockey draft is this Sunday at 8pm.

Gilroy looked good last night – he likes to pinch and usually gets back in time to not be out of position. I was impressed with how well he kept up with the speed of the game.

Last night was Gilroy’s first mistake that I’ve seen but he still looked good. Dubi’s assist was flat out ridiculous and Gaborik’s goals just looked natural. No goalie would have a chance at his second goal. I am so excited for regular season, I can not take it..

Let’s be honest, Gilroy hasn’t been perfect. He’s been good, but he’s far from a savior. He is still caught out of position a few times, leading to the odd man rush. But it’s a part of the learning process.

Gilroy is very good … but only looks great compared to the stiffs weve had here for a decade …not including Staal in that group.
Easy to look like Bobby Orr when you have Redden and Rosival to compare with.
