I hope the Rangers spank the Bolt's & Ranger's former coach in his house!!!!!!! Take no prisoners Rangers, show Coach Torts some disrespect & be verbal like him. A little diarrhea of the mouth, like he does, can only help to get into his players heads! Play a great game & be very physical boys!!!!!
And....
GOOOOOOOOOOO MAAAAAAAAAAAAARTY, get a hat trick & make up for some of that lost time!!!!!!!

Hell yeah!!!!! I like this positive attitude, need more of it from some Ranger fans now!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

AV vs Torts part 2, I expect the Rangers to win, not only do they have a better team but a better coach as well.

 

[David_son]

Big game tonight and we get to see future Rangers Daniel and Henrik Sedin in action.

I would think you would have a warm spot in your heart for Torts he brought a cup to Tampa.

LMAO! That was an incredible team with an incredible net-minder & great defense with a lucky coach that they put up with his crap! Just one hell of a well rounded team David!

 

[I_Shall_Return]

[David_son]

And Cally had another goal today it looks like we already had our goal scorer.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Philly lost in a SO. We need the 2 points!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

2nd period underway!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers with a heavy fore-check. 4th line skating hard again. This has become normal

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

McDonagh took a nice hit from Kesler. Kesler seems to have an edge to his game tonight

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Lack with a big save on McDonagh!

 

[I_Shall_Return]

And Cally had another goal today it looks like we already had our goal scorer.

Dang, you saw that! I was hoping his goal was swept under the carpet. The Bolts are getting a bad name for this trade! C'MON MAAAAAAAAAAAAARTY, GET THE LEAD OUT!!!!!!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Kesler with a nice shot to beat Hank. 2-1. Kesler has been solid all game

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Kesler is flying out there tonight.
