known in LIRR parlance as on-time

Looks like the Rangers could have a full lineup tonight. Need this win just as badly as game 3.

When i went to the home opener, some dolt jumped in front of the train near mineola and i was stuck on the train for 3 hours sitting there..

I mean that's as solid of a 4 lines as you're going to get. Rangers need to get it done tonight. Have to continue to forecheck and get pucks to the net 5v5 and on the PP. SIMPLIFY!!!!

Let's see what he does tonight. I am really excited to see him in the lineup cause he has some skill, wins battles along the boards, adds toughness, and is really good around the net. Guy has been a big time player in the playoffs before as well.

Yeah ill give you that.

The experience is invaluable. I hope he has a really strong game, just not holding my breath

On Greene goal thought Pyatt needed to go down and block it. Looked like he wanted to go down then decided to stand up was kind of caught in between but ended up screening Hank.

Does play well on the boards

Well you can also look at it that Clowe is a major upgrade over Powe. So on that point alone, you should be more excited.

True on the goal, Rangers at times have been caught in between going down and staying upright, which has led screens in front of Lundqvist.

Outside of the breakaway goal in game 1, has Hank been beat cleanly? I feel like every other goal has been deflected in by either a Cap or Ranger

You are not alone. I like the idea of

Come on tie it up tonight! ECF so we can go back to hating each other again

Our key to winning outside of Hank (& our special teams), will be the style of play in applying pressure to force Caps penalties (keeping Ovi on the bench), especially with our first 2 lines on every shift; & not having our forwards collapsing down closer to Hank; by keeping their pointmen like Green closer to that spot only. That collapsing would result in more penalties taken by us, & more close in, screened, & deflected shots against Hank; resulting in garbage & rebound goals. The Caps can roll 4 lines that can score, as opposed to mainly our first 2 lines & Brassard on the 3rd line & Clowe (if he is really healthy). No Safe=Death style of play tonight.
Let's go Rangers!

Activate the D in the rush, get the puck deep, and dont get running around in our own end.

It'd be nice to grab a lead early too!

No idea, just saw it on twitter and figured I'd pass it along. Hopefully not for his sake.
