[Cobiemonster]

Lightning coming back in their first game at home so we'll see if they come out a little tired

@erlendssonTBO:

Ryan Malone and Radko Gudas out tonight vs NY Rangers, Kucherov will start with Killorn and Purcell #TBLightning

​

 

[stealth]

Hank 5 shots 2 goals........he 'll be the backup because he cant win starting

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Maybe stealth is right about Hank. I know the Rangers got shutout and wouldn't have won regardless of who was in net, but it does seem odd that they play like crap every time Hank is in net and play like superstars whenever Cam is in net. Maybe the Rangers hate Hank, I really have no explanation for this.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

They do not hate him

 

[inthecrease]

Trade Hank so more Ranger fans can bitch about their cursed team.
Leave it to Sather to start anew after 15 years of GETTING IT WRONG.
I am hoping he pulls the trigger on a blockbuster trade. If you think
Ranger fanatics are in an uproar, I'd like to hear them after a ridiculous
trade. Can't wait.

LOL you're right, this fanbase is always looking for something to whine about, glad i'm not one of them. Talbot has yet to prove he can take on a full workload, so yeah he starts every few games, lets see how he handles starting 8/10 and when our defense doesn't clamp down and play tighter for him like they have in his last two starts. Lets see how he plays when he faces 40+ shots like Hank did against the Stars. Till then, nothing tells me to trade Hank and give Cam the job.

I am being facetious. The whole team plays differently in front of Hank.
They think he can stop everything.
I agree about Cam Talbot.

That is their problem, they play looser with Hank in net and play more of a trap style when Cam is in net.

Get lost ....like go back to your detroit board, the Redwings arent doing anything special, so its obvious you dont know anything about the Rangers and hockey in general if you are on our board
