I mean it's awesome, but they're basically having to win almost every game to stay in a position in the division that they more or less "belong" in. The Isles game next Tuesday is going to be a a big one. Very much looking forward to it.

Their hotstreak hasn't been against the strongest teams either - although if they have a good west coast trip it would be a lot better.

He's arguably the beset player in franchise history, there will be a couple tributes, at least one standing ovation and near constant Lou-ing. For all the crap he took, he was quite popular.

Bryz played like hot garbage last night, but it's nice to start the west coast trip off with a win. Rangers schedule in January is much harder than it was in December, so it'll be very interesting to see how the division looks on February 1st

Although I thought for sure it was going to be a classic Bryz game when 2 minutes into the first period he was flopping all over the place and Nash almost put in that short side shot that was blocked.

He's good enough to be in the hall, all he needs is the personal accolades. He has a better chance of winning a Vezina in Florida than in Vancouver, and if he doesn't win a cup with the Panthers he can always be a deadline rental in a few year's time. He really deserves more recognition as one of the most talented goaltenders of his generation, and likely all time. Miss ya Lou.

Brassard's goal was very stoppable. The goal Nash got is a weird, lucky thing, but he was still hardly soundly-positioned. And Zucc's goal you'd like your goaltender to stop in a 2-1 game late in the 3rd, from that angle. I guess your performance is more than just the goals you let in, but I came away pretty thankful that Bryz got the start.

He really did just immediately go back to putting up elite numbers the second he left Vancouver, Schneider is having a good year too.

He put up fantastic numbers the entire time he was in Vancouver aside from the lockout season when he backed up Schneider. Lack only replaced him for a few games last year because he went into a slump and Torts decided he had no confidence in him for some reason.

MSL had his feelings hurt because he felt he was entitled to a spot on Team Canada because Yzerman managed both teams. One was an ongoing period of alienation from the team that took place over several seasons, the other was a brief spat that was resolved in a few weeks. There is no comparison between the two situations other than the fact that they both asked for trades.

I don't think it's fair to say "Oh, Bryz was hot garbage" to take away from how the Rangers played last night. There were a few boneheaded penalties but otherwise I thought they kept up and sometimes dominated a team that's bigger and more physical than they are. JT Miller was noticeable every time he was on the ice too, in a good way. I think he's beginning to "get it". Klein was loving fantastic and I kind of want a Kleinatar. They kept playing team defense well. Staal looks slow but he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Also Nash has really been playing his rear end off defensively and isn't getting enough credit for it. Just please beat the Kings tonight. It won't make up for last June, but gently caress the goddamn Kings.

I mean, yeah, but on the other hand you still have to win the games against the weaker teams. It's still an impressive streak. At any rate, there will be more division games coming up eventually which will really start dividing some of the standings. The Rangers have only played Washington once and I'm not even sure if they've played the Islanders at all ThinkTank posted:Luongo was pissed on and jerked around by the team for two straight years and promised to be traded on multiple occasions.

Uh, pretty sure there were rumors that St Louis and Yzerman had been at odds for a lot longer than just a few weeks. I don't really want to go back through all of that but at the very least St Louis had wanted to leave Tampa at some point several years ago and Yzerman convinced him to stay. While the Team Canada thing is part of it I'm sure, I"m also sure there was a lot more to it. Also people give Luongo a pass because of his twitter account let's be completely honest

While the Team Canada thing is part of it I'm sure, I"m also sure there was a lot more to it. There was a trade request in 2009, but St. Louis was convinced to stay (this was pre-Yzerman though). And according to this beat guy who claims he had an off the record with St. Louis the primary motivating factor was the Team Canada snub and he'd still be in Tampa if not for it. quote:Yes, there were family considerations and career ramifications, but St. Louis would still be in Tampa Bay if he had not been initially left off the Canadian Olympic team by Team Canada executive director and Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/hockey/lightning/marty-st-louis-was-anyone-more-loyal/2183737 quote:Also people give Luongo a pass because of his twitter account let's be completely honest No doubt and Luongo was hardly blameless. He acted fairly childlike at times, but then again I think in the end he was justified in asking to be moved. St. Louis just seemed to want to get out and jumped at the first reasonable opportunity to ask for a trade.

As a Jackets fan frustratedly watching my team try to chase yours down and make up absolutely no ground, "Points is Points" definitely applies whether it's: PIT-VAN-EDM-CAL-CAR-CAR-WSH-NJD-FLA-BUF-ANA or FLA-@FLA-@TBL-PHI-@WSH-PIT-@DET-WSH-CHI-NSH-BOS-MIN-@ARI-@COL-@DAL The question for me is how each team (and the Caps, also hot) performs the rest of the way. CBJ need to quit taking Caps games to OT.
