@JoeNYR @ivanricov @slapshot13j

@ivanricov no idea just read an article, 3 hurricanes defenseman left with injuries. They said it would definitely require stitches

@slapshot13j He got stitched up and came back out. It looked like he had a new mouth situated right between his nose and upper lip. These guys are tough.
@AnnoyingJoe @slapshot13j just would be Rangers hockey to get these two big points and then lose to them.... classic rangers
@slapshot13j @DuPont_Snotty more like "spilled whatever was in the glass all over the floor and bitching as you go grab a mop to clean it up" guy.
@slapshot13j Ugh... I'm resigned to the fact that you're a glass half-empty type guy... :)
@DuPont_Snotty Maybe, when Callahan is hoisting the Cup, but even then I will still be looking to the next year...
something must have been in the water tonight, 3 lowest scoring teams in the NHL with 3+ goals...

You could make an argument that Stralman has been the MVP of our defense this year.... especially with Staal going down. His breakout year has been key for us
@slapshot13j I wouldn't call this a breakout year, but a pleasant surprise for Strahlman, Mac truck hasn't regressed at all, just started slowly, and before Staal went down, he was our best Dman... but i get your point...
@ivanricov girardi has been our best dman in my mind, mcdonagh second and stralman third. Staal was far and away the number 1 though when healthy
@ivanricov i said defense. MDZ? He hasn't been that good all year, the last two games yes
@AnnoyingJoe @slapshot13j @ivanricov yea i expect it from those two, and if anything mcdonagh has regressed a little bit
@slapshot13j I wasn't debating you I was just saying all those players have stepped up this year and played better than I have expected. Including MDZ. Has looked more mature this year.
@AnnoyingJoe @slapshot13j not saying the best by any means. Just mean that him stepping up has been key, and also I said defense
@AnnoyingJoe @slapshot13j Value.... I cant even imagine how bad the Rangers are if DZ or Eminger is their 3rd dman in staal's absence
