4 in a row and 8 of last 10. Tied for first.
Offense is starting to score like we knew they would. |

After being quite skeptical about Gomez, that GAS line (Gomez, Avery, Shanny) has been by far the best line. Gomez has looked really good, really creating chances like a good center and looks way better than Drury. And Shanny is finally starting to bury his chances.
When Calahan and Straka come back... Oh baby. |

Damn do they look good. I felt that they outplayed a good Philly team for most of this game, on the road. Martin Biron was outstanding or the Rangers could have had 8 goals.
I don't see enough of the western conference, but it's hard for me to imagine that there is a better goalie in one-on-one/breakway/shootout situations in the league right now than Lundqvist. |

Put Hossa and Calahan between Betts and move Straka up to the first line and you've got 4 legitimate scoring lines a la Buffalo last year. |

2 quick observations as I didn't get to see the whole game...great play by Drury on the Prucha goal...the more I see Staal the more impressed I am.

[/ QUOTE ] They'd be very shortsighted to take both of these guys out of the lineup. Petr Prucha or Marcel Hossa should sit, and one of them should play. Having 4 scoring lines is rather overrated, especially when players like Prucha and Hossa aren't scorers. edit - looking at stats, Prucha has 1 goal and 3 assists in his last 28 games. How is this guy still getting ice time? Thankfully the Rangers didn't try to upsell on this guy. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, Prucha and Hossa deserve to sit the most and ironically they shot first and third in tonights shootout. But yeah, what if we traded him after he scored 30 goals, people would have thought we were nuts but we'd be laughing now. |
