Unfortunately Mika has to concentrate on these two centers when’s he’s out there. Whoever it is, I haven’t really paid attn to that. He’s doing a great job tho. Could be something like when they start taking Kreider away, they can go to Zib. They haven’t really needed him if you think about it (offensively)

Exactly. He hasn't been on the scoresheet, but nowhere near invisible. You see him every time the Devils manage to get into our zone. He's all over whoever looks like they might be the best option for a pass. 200' starting from our end.

Also playing well. Especially defensively. He mad a couple of plays last night to break up low to high cross ice passes.

can't say anyone's played poorly, imo.

i have a real feeling the guys in the room (hopefully) realize you can't take a shift off. you can't get locked into back to back 7 game series and expect to go far, you'll tail off at some point. i want to see them put the hammer down tomorrow and keep this going

The collective experience (from last year) is really showing this series. Devils will have that benefit next season. It’s not so much having guys that win cups or anything like that, it’s about going through it together as a team (playoff run). 15 or so guys still from last year? Minus the Copps, Vatranos, Stromes, etc

Yea very true. Def the best defense we’ve ever seen from him since he’s been here

I remember Beck and Norman Rochefort. Anything before that I’m out lol

Through 2 games:

The DOMINATION is real!
The DOMINATION is complete!
Jesper Bratt just quitting on that Kane goal is a sign of how we have simply broken the Devils. They have NO ANSWERS! Even considering putting Luke Hughes in or changing goalies shows sheer desperation. Rangers need to simply keep what they are doing, no let up. Don't let this series get back to New Jersey!

so Luke Hughes tomorrow or no

Then came Vukota/Blomberg another POS like Schultz

so Luke Hughes tomorrow or no
- jimbro83

I would think so. Their board was talking about why is even here if he isn’t playing. And Schmid they want to play by now I think

so Luke Hughes tomorrow or no

Nope
I don't think the right time or place would be at MSG in a playoff game. Its doing the kid a huge disservice.

What do they have to lose? I still can believe the dressed Smith over Siegenthaler. Lindy Ruff still an idiot.

Rangers need to end this in 4-5 games. They are on a mission. Gallant has really impressed this series

Igor back in his groove too.

Edit:

He's been perfect at 5 on 5.

Team looks great and they are in control, but its still a best of 7 series........

If Luke Hughes wasn't good enough to start when you were at home and had last change, why would you think he was good enough to play at a crazed MSG where you can't shelter his minutes? What message are you sending to the rest of the team?

No, I think the kid stays in the pressbox and learns from watching ( for now )...

Expect the worst. If it happens, you can't feel worse. If it doesn't you (I) feel good. EZ PZ.

I mean he couldn't be any worse than what Graves, Marino, Smith and Graves did last night.

so Luke Hughes tomorrow or no

Yes, also Akira.

I'm confident, but no way the series is over.
