Thanks for posting here. Yes, you have a chance to win this game too. The better team will be the winner. No doubt.

I started to be a skeptical if Ovechkin will ever pass Gretzky record in goals. Just in one category "maximum goals production in NHL career". In my opinion, we should not compare records of Ovechkin and Gretzky in other categories, because they played in different era, different hockey, different teams. Ovechkin started his season in a very unusual for him low production. This why I am skeptical now if he will be able to beat Gretzky record.

We have a chance to win this game. Entire team should be motivated to win this one. Predicting our win with a score 4:3 or in regulation; or in OT; or in SO. It does not matter how we should win this game, but it matters to start winning in permanent mode. Probably, Greenway will be motivated to play against us too. Last night we showed a nice strong 2nd period of pretty competitive play. Are we capable to repeat that play in entire 60 minutes tonight?

It seems we made in that game Rangers goalie Domingue as a great goalie. Just looked for his stats. He didn't played since season 2021-22 in NHL when he played only 2 games for Penguins. Before that he played only 1 game for Flames in 2020-2021 season. And tonight was his 1st NHL game in Rangers uniform.

Kaprizov should start producing more goals, to shoot more and to take an example from Panarin, but not from Ovechkin this season. Rangers commentators said that Panarin already made during this season 20 points (7 goals;13 assists) in 12 NHL games, which is a 2nd record for NY Rangers history. 1st record for NY Rangers was made by Pavel Bure (20 points in 11 games). Anyway, we have so far only 12 points(5-6-2) in 13 played games, but Rangers have 21 points(10-2-1) in 13 played games this season. Big difference. We should start winning more games if we want to get into playoffs this season. We have a good potential which we need to use in full, but not partially.

Sadly, we placed just one goal in 60 minutes, which was not enough against such a good team.

Game is over. Sad loss. We should play all 60 minutes, but not one period. I am still thinking that Kaprizov is playing better with Zuccarello and Hartman, but not with Boldy and Rossi. Johanssen is better fit for them. Overall, no questions, Rangers were better than us.

1:3 now. I do not think it will happen tonight.

Rangers started better this period. 1:2 now.

We limited them to only 3 shots in our net during that period. Such a different opposite 2 periods for both teams.

Nice period for us.

Wow. Duhaime deflected the puck from Faber!!!

Hope we will break it this PP.

We are playing better at this period. We have more chances to score than in the 1st period.

Sorry. My mistake it is not Shesterkin but Domingue. Just found out.

Nice play by Boldy and Rossi. Huge saves by Shesterkin now.

What do you think about Kaprizov - Rossi- Boldy line? I still would keep Zuccarello and Hartman with Kaprizov , and Johanssen will put with Rossi and Boldy as a 2nd line. My personal opinion that the line Kaprizov-Rossi-Boldy is not clicking well yet as it was Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello.

Me too. I hope so.

But we are not placing enough shots. Our 3 vs their 14 shots during the 1st period.

Fantastic saves by Fleury at the end of the 1st period.

Huge save by Fleury again.

Goodrow was bigger than Duhaime. Interesting #21 was fighting against #21.

Game of the year so far. Nice speeds, nice play, nice fights. It looks like a playoffs game.

Huge save by Fleury on Panarin's shot.

Nice trio.
