Game is awful. No flow and tons of whistles. Rangers can barely make a line change.

I dont like Stepan nearly as much as I used to. I expected a leap foward.

Horrible effort, poor Staal last night had to cover up for about 14 MDZ defensive lapses, no energy, no forecheck...back to square one...by the way Gilroy should have gotten more ice time he kept jumping into the play in the offensive zone but Torts plays his favorites...those 2 posts when we were down 2-0 in the 3rd period killed us...too many penalties and wtf is wrong with Steps, he's not doing anything...

Fit the role here 4th line center, finished all his body checks, defensively responsible, good on faceoffs, blocked shots

[matt robinson 17]

Quality win, Hags and Steps finally scored, Nash's goal was a thing of beauty, Gilroy joined the rush nicely and fits in well with Strals, best played game of season, dictating the play and pace of the game

Halpern will fit all those needs.......hopefully

Both the Nash goal and the Hagelin game winning tip were things of beauty

Halpern has played well, fast, good penalty killer, good on faceoffs, responsible defensively...

Rupp traded to Wild for Darroll Powe

[matt robinson 17]

C Darroll Powe 5'11" 212 lbs. but loves to throw the body, 196 hits in '10, 22 goals in 3 years, 27 years old

[matt robinson 17]

My son says he is a quality PK guy...
Also got RW Nick Palmieri 13 goals in 78 games with the Devils and he's 6' 3"

Great teammate but he was giving us NOTHING! He was even losing his fights!

[matt robinson 17]

Supposedly, my son says Powe is fast, hits, and is an agitator with one of his favorite victims being Kris Letang...

[matt robinson 17]

#NYR Powe fills important hole for NYR on PK. Finished second last ssn in shorthand minutes for Minny. Also had 91 blocked shots

I was hoping the Rupp thing could have worked out, but...too slow, no longer an effective fighter...not much there anymore. I wish him well. Rangers need to have someone who can drop the mitts and win a scrap. Asham is looking like he's on the back nine. Appears very willing, but how able is he? Bickel runs hot and cold. With fighting majors up in a shortened season, who can take that on?

Did you see Scott take out Thornton of the Bruins last week? Right on the button. Gave him a concussion...that's one big dude.

Scott's an animal, but he can't skate...reminds me of the movie Goon. Brandon Mashinter or Haley maybe called up for emergency goon duty but for now I guess it's Bickel
