I seeing them after our win on Thursday in suits "pounding it" with the their teammates just made me sad...I'd much rather have Strudwick out there than Backman..<BR/><BR/>Also, does anyone know how Shanny does it? I mean at 39 he's ancient in this game, but he plays like he's 20...and he's got a fierce/beastly slapshot.<BR/><BR/>Any hope there's another season in him as a Ranger??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-13376518864193593852008-03-07T18:00:00.000-05:002008-03-07T18:00:00.000-05:00Brother - the only reason I said pass/shot is that...Brother - the only reason I said pass/shot is that he has never been one to make a strong pass, so to get the puck all the way over there to Sean, he must have put the extra oomph into it that he would a shot. <BR/><BR/>TDR - I think you nailed it with the confidence factor. They did play strong, but you have to imagine a certain spring in your step when you are beating up an AHL team ...Scotty Hockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440672878311338910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-62967155279777599562008-03-07T13:58:00.000-05:002008-03-07T13:58:00.000-05:00Backman is making Malik look like daisies...he's g...Backman is making Malik look like daisies...he's gotta be choking Slat's Chicken!!?<BR/><BR/>These back-to-back matchups couldn't have been more apart from each other. I agree with many of your points, Scotty -- additionally, our defensive in general felt very much like the first couple of months last fall where the Rangers protected their zone well and Henk made up for the difference. Last night was that game plus an aggressive three lines shooting goals. They looked like a confident and winning team.<BR/><BR/>When you look at 9 wins, 0 losses in regulation and 3 overtimes...it 'aint too shabby. Only four points away from leading the Eastern Conference -- a sad statement when you look toward the Western Conference and see where all those points went....<BR/><BR/>Jibbles did a great job on my site last night...throw him some love.<BR/><BR/>tdrThe Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-980134588021155542008-03-07T12:07:00.000-05:002008-03-07T12:07:00.000-05:00I can't even believe I'm about to type this BUT th...I can't even believe I'm about to type this BUT the PASS by Malik to Avery was GREAT.
