i am SO excited! Crazy thought? Drury scores in back to back games. LETS GO RANGERS!

Rozi is playing his best hockey as a Ranger in these post Olympics. He has been invaluable.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 3:21 pm
Jody freaking Shelley! This line is awesome, it’s not a fluke anymore.

agreed. Rosizval was also good in his 2nd year, its when he shoots he’s valuable. never done it enough.

I am assuming you meant to reply to the post above lol.
Rozsival will never get the respect from fans he deserves. Second best defenseman after Staal.

That’s two posts this period for the Flyers. This is going to give me a heart attack.

lets hope lady luck is on our side. so far it is. THis is the biggest PP of the year. by a mile.
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 3:31 pm
wow that was close
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 3:37 pm
Shelley proving Sather right with that trade.

we’ve said it before, trades arent sathers issue. its those pesky free agents!!

As long as he doesn’t go after any forwards this offseason I’m happy.

Parenteau has been looking good during this call up stint.

as i said the other day. at this point he deserves to start next year with the Rangers. With such a poor free agency this summer build from within and give kids a chance. Then the NCAA kids will be close!!!!

Yea, I hate to admit when I’m wrong, but he deserves to start the season with the Rangers. He will be a decent, cheap winger.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 3:44 pm
Goal post – 3, Rangers – 1, Flyers – 0
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 3:46 pm
not happy with the amount of shots we’re giving up. This cant last.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 4:11 pm
Lundqvist keeping that paddle down to make a series of saves.
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 4:45 pm
we mut, must get more puck posession. More pressure in their end. There’s no way we can win this playing this way for another 20. We need to be more offensive and be better up the middle. Gabby needs to shoot more too. He’s looking to pass too often
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 4:58 pm
I may hyperventilate during this period.
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 5:13 pm
deserved goal. we need to respond
By Bettman's Nightmare, April 11, 2010 @ 5:16 pm
Biggest game of the year…of course we force Hank to stand on his head…

At least the Rangers are consistent with something.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 5:16 pm
I’m nervous…

im so nervous its not funny
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 5:32 pm
I simply can’t take this.
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 5:35 pm
overtime, ar you kidding me?! this will either be an ultimate high or depressing instant low.
Cant believe how poor our puck posession has been
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 5:38 pm
not sure i like our chances if it goes to Shootout. yes, we have hank but they have better skaters for the skills comp.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 5:40 pm
This is a fitting final game. I just can’t take this anymore.

its a mircocosm of our season. i cant watch.
By Dave, April 11, 2010 @ 5:52 pm
SHIT
By jurgenno88, April 11, 2010 @ 5:57 pm
10th overall in the draft then.
depression reigns
By Jeremy, April 11, 2010 @ 6:11 pm
If it’s any consolation, the Caps would have killed them
By Jeremy, April 11, 2010 @ 6:11 pm
And, while I’m at it, just want to say how fun this season was, writing for BSB, getting to know y’all. Next year, Rangers. Next year

It’s been great having both of you write for the blog, you both contribute a ton. I guess now we shift towards draft, offseason plans, and full year review.
