The New York Rangers continued
their hot play this evening when behind
Martin Biron they scored a 2-1 win that took them out of St. Louis with the
home team feeling blue. The game
marked the team’s third straight victory and saw the Rangers grind out another
win in come from behind fashion. The
full game recap goes through the game as always in terms of scoring plays, key
moments and how different players fared in the course of the action. Tonight there are also a series of very
interesting stats on the Rangers season that speak volumes to why after just 43
games the Rangers have collected a very impressive 53 points. Could not have asked for a better weekend for
the team, though certainly still some players the Rangers would love to kick
into gear.
Before the game the decision to
start Biron
was announced along with a little bit of further clarification on the Boyle,
Tortorella incident from Dallas. If
you are unaware the incident was late in the third period and the camera caught
coach Tortorella berating Brian Boyle multiple times in a short sequence while
Boyle took the lashing in a very professional manner. Today Andrew Gross was able to give a little
bit more background on what exactly went on, so check inside to see what he had
to say along with why I believe Torts turned to Biron tonight instead of riding
a red-hot Henrik Lundqvist
The main article on the site
today dealt with Mats Zuccarello-Aasen and how he is showing a flare for the
dramatic in his short stint thus far with the Rangers. There appears to be this touch
of magic that Zuccarello is adding to the Rangers with his late game
heroics but also the skill and confidence he plays with as it is rubbing off on
his teammates. The Norwegian Hobbit
Wizard really is casting spells and with as magical as the season as a whole
has been it seems to have turned up another notch since Zucarello showed up and
if he keeps it up he will be here the rest of the year looking to pull off the
ultimate trick.
There was news out about how
former Rangers forward Petr
Prucha might be heading to the KHL after clearing re-entry waivers and
being left in the AHL. Find out which
team he might be playing for and if going over there might spell the end of his
time in the NHL or if it might just earn him another shot in the league.
This afternoon Sidney spoke
about his current health status with his concussion issue and frankly was
harsher on the league than many would expect especially with how the majority believes
the league as a whole caters to him and gives him everything. In
the wide-ranging talk with the press he talked about the timeline of when
he got the concussion, his displeasure with the lack of response from the
league, the David Steckel hit and whether he thought it was intentional as well
as when he might return. Some very
interesting comments in there and some that could only further how much fans
around the league cannot stand him as a person.
