Quote from: files58 on Today at 12:54:49 PMI just watched last night's game again without the anxiety. Florida playa a very similar game to Carolina with added offense. Pressure all over the ice, scrambly, puck bouncing, some havoc. Suits this time of year because ice surfaces are going to be a little soft, and chippy. Especially in South Florida where besides the rink surface all other ice are in drink glasses. Lonborg hit Vesey in the head with a slight glance off Vesey's shoulder which makes the hit a non-penalty. In the game within the game I'd like to see Barkov acquire a nagging physical annoyance that throws his game off just a bit. A cute slash to the ankle/foot, swollen hand or face, and at some point an elbow to Lonborg that has him adjusting his jaw. If you hadn't noticed they're targeting Trocheck. As Henrik said on the pre, and post shoot high on Bobrovsky. The OT winner was a high shot. The Rangers improved from Game 1 to Game 2. Keep it going.
I am still trying to figure out how the hit on Vesey was not a penalty.

That's what I am thinking, the official still needs to spot the ball.   I can't think of a current technology that could determine where the ball is when the runner is down.   The location of the ball is easy, it's their down part that is the challenge.

It would seem that there really is no need nor good reason for you continue to post here, wouldn't you say? This place is fast becoming little more than wet rag city.

Cheers! or maybe not.

How do you "do" Connections, Ed?

In other words how do you approach the puzzle each day? Do you have some sort of process that you rigidly apply to each game, or do you just kind of eyeball it and wing it?

Just curious.

Florida is relentless and are right on top of anyone with the puck.  They force you into quick passes and quick decisions.  Game three will be very interesting.

This is a good thing.  Sonny Jurgenson was not athletic and thrived so I think you have to factor in talent.
Eli Manning moved around like he was pushing a wheelbarrow. 

Where are we on the relative talent scale?  Id say bottom third, to hazard a guess
but improving

Under Joe Judge I'd say we were bottom of the pack

Quote from: Painter on Today at 10:35:24 AMIf those comps were to mean something, we'd better hope that Jones stays healthy as Cutler, Gabbert, and Lock have managed to produce just 2 winning seasons over a combined 28 years in the League. Not exactly a high bar for DJ who is already half way there.  ;)

Cheers!


I don't know if you can teach situational awareness and composure
You are either born with it or not

We know Jones pretty well and I don't see he has made any advancement in either category

Perhaps actually regressed.  The OLINE and a poor running game for his tenure have not helped him at all.  He has faced incredible pressure.....But Taylor and DeVito faced the same pressure and yet moved the ball better.

I think Schoen and Daboll may have signed their own pink slips with their handling of the QB position.....unless Mara is really calling the shots.  Be that the case,  Mara can only blame himself

Quote from: kartanoman on Today at 11:00:20 AMRempe's presence, at the Garden, is like having an extra skater on the ice. The article brings that point out so well. Ranger fans get into the game even more with the chants and the electricity builds. What more could you ask for?

This series has set the tone for something even more intense than what we've witnessed so far. This is what championship level hockey is all about and our Blueshirts our holding their own right now.

It will be interesting to see what tactical changes to each lineup both coaches make ahead of game three in Florida.

Peace!

I suspect if you polled the players anonymously, they'd say they want him in the lineup. I can't prove that obviously, but it is a hunch. The fact that Messier endorsed playing him carries a lot of weight with me too. He knows way more about the intangibles of winning in the postseason than almost anyone (and certainly than any fan who has never played professional hockey).

Playing Rempe on the road is perhaps a trickier discussion given the matchups and the last change rule. Not to mention you don't have the entire building chanting his name on the road (albeit you get a lot of Rangers fans in some of these venues).

Playing him at home seems like close to a no-brainer to me. At least until he significantly messes up and hurts the team, which he clearly hasn't to this point. I just think the positives outweigh the negatives with this guy, and I think the positives go beyond when he is on the ice.

Does anyone here think Kakko was sorely missed last night?
