We play incredible defense, have a top tier goaltender, and have more offensive talent than anyone else (feat. the best player on the planet).

CherryCokes 12/03/11 11:00:00 PM #380:	Buffalo was a division leader both times we beat them, and have gone into a tailspin since we kicked their faces in. We beat the Blackhawks, who are arguably the best team in the West. We've beaten Toronto four times, each of which they were either a division leading team or the game would decide the division leader. We lost to Detroit, arguably the second best team in the West, in shootout. On the last shot. With Tukka Rask in goal. We have a +34 goal differential. +28, I think, in periods 2 and 3 combined. We have 7 skaters in the top 40 in +/- (the Rangers have 3, and two of the three are tied with our 6th and 7th players) I'm not saying the Rangers aren't a good team; they are certainly a playoff team. They're just not better than the Bruins, and the B's/Penguins game Monday night is easily the biggest game the NHL season has had yet. -- "Occulams razor says you are scum" - masterplum <cite>CherryCokes posted [p:492427] in Board 8 NH...

TimJab 12/03/11 11:18:00 PM #390:	From: CherryCokes \| #387 Also, who is going to score for the Rangers when they play teams that have top tier keepers? Richards? Gaborik? Callahan? Stepan? We're Top 10 in goals per game, and we do it through consistency, not by scoring 10 goals against Toronto. BTW, forgot to mention that we're doing all this winning despite Staal (arguably our best player), being hurt all year. If he had been playing all season our GAA would easily be under 2. -- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6VmYVI7liwE/TnVxd6msalI/AAAAAAAAE74/SZT6xCZPZeI/s1600/8.gif <cite>TimJab posted [p:492437] in Board 8 NH...

SmartMuffin 12/04/11 12:13:00 PM #393:	So, I had this idea the other day. It could really apply to all sports, but I thought of it watching hockey. Why exactly don't we have officials who work up in the press box? I don't mean like "video replay officials" who are only summoned on controversial calls, I mean like no ** actual officials who have the same authority as the on-ice ones, only they happen to observe the game from above rather than on the ice. Give them the ability to press a button that turns on a light signaling a delayed call or a button that blows a whistle on the PA system. Put them on a cell-phone network and give them bluetooth headsets to talk to the on-ice officials. This way, the ever popular "blatantly obvious high stick that everyone in the arena saw but the refs didn't so oh well" type of thing won't happen anymore. Most of the time, they wouldn't have to do much at all, but they'd be there as a "ref of last resort' for those types of plays. Why hasn't this already happened? -- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://img.imgcake.com/smartmuffin/barkleyjpgde.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:492440] in Board 8 NH...
