Jan Levine: Rangers hold on against Penguins, face Isles today, Panarin/Miller/Quick Team effort in win

Excellent write up, Jan. Regarding Miller. he has played better but every time he has the puck I'm still expecting a gaffe. he's been better with puck security but sometimes it looks like he has a grenade on his stick. Other than that, praying his up tick in play continues.

Are other teams' schedules like this? Why did we have 5 complete days off before the trade deadline, and then have 5 games in 9 days with two back-to-backs?

It will be 8 games in 12 days before they get 2 whole days off. WTF comes up with these schedules?

Pretty bad this year. That algorithm needs work.

Thank you. Yeah, he had one gaffe that Quick saved his bacon on.

His mistakes are usually big “oh poop” moments but on average he has been one of our top 3 this season (fox, Gus, miller). Schneider has been making the most of his bigger role. They look great together.

After this stretch of games it will be games every other day. So no rest for the weary. Quick looked a little shaky early on but saved their bacon late. One of druey good moves plus extending him.

good experience for the grueling playoffs

I think we will see a different Panarin in the playoffs than last year. He is playing a different game. He isnt doing a button hook everytime he enters the zone and looks to be driving to the net more often. Going to the slot for more shots. Im having a lot more confidence with his play, he hasnt deviated all season.

it's aggressive Panarin, which is the difference, as you said. I have a hunch Zib has a big post season, Roslovic speed will help

I dont think the swap really matters, feels like both those lines can be interchangeable.

They look great, but they can't keep this pace up for long

Maybe, maybe not but that was an absolutely dominant first 5 minutes to the game.

Way to go Gus

WOW, ref's 0 for 3

So much for that start to the game.

We're getting beat a lot on that cross crease pass after they come around the net. Gotta get our coverage figured out on those

yeah, that goal looked exactly like 2 or 3 of Pitt's yesterday

Kinda surprised they still havent used Ruhwedel on this stretch of games.

Fox looked pretty bad on the coverage there too

Hey, 5 on 5 Zibby !!

Same here, but Jones has played well.

fox needs to shoot there.

I'd rather we sit Gus for a game or two to get Chad in. Jones can stay in
