Game #72: Funky Friday – Devils 3, Canucks 2 (SO)

Posted on March 16, 2019 by hasan4978

After sleeping 3-4 hours in each of the previous three nights, the last thing on my mind was the Devils’ game in Vancouver last night. Finally getting up this morning after a much better night of sleep, it occured to … Continue reading →

The fallout from the latest call against Rangers and fan backlash

Posted on March 15, 2019 by Derek

It takes a lot of incompetence to mess up games the way the NHL continues to. This isn’t only a Rangers problem. It’s a league issue that threatens to tarnish the great sport we’re so passionate about. Hockey is played … Continue reading →

Games #70 & 71: Alberta Edition

Posted on March 14, 2019 by hasan4978

I guess it’s true…even the worst offenses in the NHL are capable of getting hot for a couple of games or so. If you’d given me an under on 3.5 goals for these two games in Calgary and Edmonton I … Continue reading →

NHL officials mess up another game

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Derek

The final score read: Canucks 4 Rangers 1. To paraphrase what coach David Quinn had to say regarding an embarrassingly brutal five minute match penalty on Brendan Lemieux, he said they gift wrapped two Vancouver goals. Otherwise, he chose not … Continue reading →

Lias Andersson should play in these games

Posted on March 12, 2019 by Derek

Sorry. There won’t be a recap of tonight’s 3-2 overtime loss in Edmonton. There’s no point. Speaking of which, that’s all the Rangers do these days is get one lousy point due to the lame NHL system. So, they’re now … Continue reading →

Rangers sitting Andersson and DeAngelo makes zero sense

Posted on March 11, 2019 by Derek

I’m going to make this short and sweet. It’s an absolute joke that both Lias Andersson and Tony DeAngelo are sitting out for tonight’s game at Edmonton. What purpose does it serve the Rangers? They’re playing out the remainder of … Continue reading →

Hajek a bright spot in helping Lundqvist get a rare win last night

Posted on March 10, 2019 by Derek

These days, there really isn’t much to write home about if you’re a Rangers or Devils fan. Even a third rivalry game of four didn’t have much juice last night. With both teams headed for playoff misses, these games don’t … Continue reading →

Game #69: Stupid Saturday – Rangers 4, Devils 2

Posted on March 10, 2019 by hasan4978

Guess Derek’s finally as apathetic as me about both our teams’ meaningless late-season games. This is the gamble schedule makers take when you bunch four-five games with a team’s biggest rival from the last day of January on, if one … Continue reading →

Game #68: Frustrating Friday – Caps 3, Devils 0

Posted on March 9, 2019 by hasan4978

This season’s gotten to the point where I’m actually surprised after hearing about a Caps three-goal win over the Devils that things weren’t worse. After all, with our AHL lineup I figured Alex Ovechkin and company could pretty much name … Continue reading →

Game #67: Athanasiou beats Lundqvist in the shootout to deal Rangers another tough loss

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Derek

When the Rangers and Red Wings get together, there’s always one guarantee. Henrik Lundqvist and Jimmy Howard will have a goalie duel that is decided by a goal. It also usually requires extras. That was the case tonight with Howard … Continue reading →
