Don’t Sweat It
Yeah, I know I haven’t posted much outside of the game thread, but if you saw my schedule, you would understand. I’ll take this rare free moment to talk about the Rangers. Mostly, about the game last night. Yeah, it sucked. No goals in two straight games. Unacceptable. Too many games with no effort. Again, unaccetpable. But, there’s one thing that gives me confidence: Henrik Lundqvist. It may be trite, but in the lackluster Eastern Conference, you don’t need to score that much to win. You just need a great goalie. Lundqvist is playing at an extremely high level as of late. He’s been almost unbeatable. And while the lack of scoring is frustrating, and tough to watch, take solace in the fact that you can make the playoffs with a stellar goalie. The Rangers are lucky to have a stellar goalie. While the scoring could haunt them in the playoffs, Hank is good enough to steal a win or even a series. In the playoffs, it’s all about a hot goalie. To make the playoffs, a stellar goalie can get you there.

At the Olympics I think the world will relize how lucky the Rangers are to have him and how much the Ranger rely on him.

I agree with Gary….and hank doesn’t seem to be getting beat high glove as much. maybe he got the memo?

I think the defense isn’t letting other teams wind up and shoot there. They have played much better in that aspect.
But good god do they need someone else that can put the puck in the net.

Are you suggesting that we should go all in for a certain Russian gentleman?

No, I voted No to that deal. I think they are rebuilding and AA/Grachev/Stepan will solve some of those issues.

Rumor is that Kovalchuk is not interested in signing long-term with whoever gets him. Would rather test the market…
