Interesting factoid: Rangers are called the Rangers because their owner was nicknamed "Tex".

History of the New York Rangers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just thought I'd mention that since the Stars are from Texas.

That we are, of course I knew that though But thanks for sharing for those who didn't know, Doob!!

Anyways, Dallas is coming off 4 straight losses, including a shutout loss in NJ last night. Gonna be interesting to see how the Rangers respond after that big win in Chicago. Hank has to give us 60 minutes of dominance like he gave us in the third period. Want the old Hank back.

Goaltending will be the most important factor IMO. Lundqvist started out cold but has gotten hot as of late, Lehtonen started out hot but has cooled off as of late. Depends which goalie shows up hot so the Doobster says the odds favor the Rangers.

I hope we can win.

I hope we can win.

Doobster won't give you a guarantee but I could tell you I got a gut feeling. My gut feelings are usually more assuring than my guarantees.

That's okay, rather you not guarantee it and then disappoint me. I'll settle for your gut feeling instead.

hope Hank is spot on like he should be

 

[Pastafazul]

lundy has to play about 20 games like the other nite for me to believe he's good

and just like that lets another softie get by

 

[Pastafazul]

5 minutes into game dave's son, so your theory they don't score goals for him is moot

 

[Pastafazul]

lundy's NYC lifestyle has done him in! black tie affairs, playin his music at clubs, page six.... get him out of that lifestyle and i bet he's a better netminder

 

[stealth]

This is what im talking about 3 shots and a goal already....he doesnt consistantly perform

 

[Pastafazul]

ryan callahan ties it at 1 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HEY HEY HEY

 

[Pastafazul]

now don't mess this up lundy, we at least got a point!

 

[Pastafazul]

shoot it zook

 

[stealth]

9 shots 2 goals is terrible

 

[Pastafazul]

now just 4 minutes in........ c'mon gets caught like a deer in headlites

 

[Pastafazul]

now that was pretty

 

[stealth]

offense is keeping Hank in the game (IMO)

 

[Pastafazul]

we score more he gives up more
