QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“I don’t know if we needed the message from our coach. I think the one great thing about this team is that it comes from within ourselves. We have a lot of pride in that room. It was tough to lose those two games — not just losing, but the way we lost. We just had no response, so it was nice to play the way we did.”

 

— Dryden Hunt after the win on Saturday

 next to Strome now, too?  Lol.  Anaheim has been flat out atrocious defensively since the all-star break.  I'm actually thinking we see Stolarz here.  He's been better than Gibson of late.

Shattenkirk for trivia.

Can you post Panarin in that upside down font representing “turnover”

[josh]

And I hope Trouba earns his

The road trip feels like a catastrophe, and it opened some eyes to some concerns. But, end result: 2-2, 15 goals for, 16 against. 4 out of 8 points. Half and half. Mediocre. Average, .500. Every term you can think of for those types of words. But, it’s also OVER. Back home in a building you’ve become dominant in this season and playing an inferior opponent. Go, get your 2 points, go home. End of story. Let’s go.

Pretty much done traveling now.  One game in Tampa, one in Carolina, one in Pittsburgh.  Everything else is in between Boston and Philly.

Zegras going to try and put on a show at MSG?

How many times will we hear about Sonny Milano being a local kid from Massapequa?

Yet another team with four games loosing streak. Look out Rangers, don't let the "first game back from a long road trip" blues hit you... roast these ducks...

 

LGR!
