If Biron is the rebound party who is 6-1 and a GAA at under 2 what does that make the Islanders goaltending situation? Our backup goalie would have a good case at being your starter. 5-2 Islanders though we shall see I am not high on making predictions but I will remember you said this. Don't go into hiding if it's the other way around though.

i was at the rock on tuesday it was so nice when the rangers scored 4 unanswered goals. Every devils that saw me was talking so much poop before the game.

Not for nothing but Biron has killed us his whole career I dont expect tonight to be any different at all . I say 5 - 2 Rangers. Gaborik with the hat Trick and Mike Rupp scores as well as we always give up golas to those guys. BTW anyone on your team who has zero goals?? It will be a safe bet they get there first tonight

All these players are mediocre talents. I say Moulson, Grabner, and Dubinsky are all in the same class as far as production and what they give u on the ice. JT is better then all of them and Hamonic I don't compare because he is a D-man. I wouldn't say Dubi is clearly better then those players mentioned above but I would say they all are similar. Idk where I lost all my credibility though, it's not like I said Bailey is better than Stepan.

I love using the term "mediocre talents" on guys that score over 30 goals and are in the 20's. If this was a Ranger I wonder what words you would use to describe them ... lol

Kasper go away with that negative crap. Biron sux when you need him to and is specatcular when you don't care. He will be pulled in the seond period tonight.

Moulson has 2 - 30+ goals seasons in a row and has 15 goals this year. Grabner scored over 30 as a rookie and has 10 so far this year. Comparing Dubi and his 1 goal to Mouson and Grabner is as dumb as it gets.
- niteislander


What's dumb as it gets is that you are looking solely on this season alone. Dubi is have a horrible season this year but look at the full body of work buddy. Grabner and Moulson are better goal scorers but when it comes to all around production they are all similar. I could say Grabner and Moulson both had less points then Dubi last season.

I'm looking forward to tonight. It should be a spirited and energetic game. Should be a good aptmosphere in the building. I'm a bit disappointed that Nilsson was recalled instead of Poulin. I know the Isles need to showcase Nabokov, but I really would have loved to have seen Poulin get the nod in this game. It would have been great to see how he plays in the anticipated environment that will be in place tonight.
- Jethro09



have to disagree jethro. Nabby earned the start. he did fantastic in relief of Montoya other night. And beat rags back in October.

Nilsson just there to back up. He might start tomorrow of Montoya cant.

All I'm asking from Ranger fans is this............If the Islanders do win, please don't use the "we would've won if Lundqvist was playing" line. That's all I ask. Thank you, come again.

And no, this is not me saying the Islanders will win because Biron is in net because he is very capable of beating them.

Dude I am a hockey fan and the numbers speak for themselves. I am not going to sit here and say the Islanders are goign to destroy the Rangers when the Rangers hands down are a lot better then us. that is just stupid!! they are playing on a different level then us right now. Sure we have looked better but the Rangers are 12 points better then us. I dont hink I am being a moron for pointing out the facts but to sit and say this should be an easy win is even a bigger moronic statement

Bailey is not a goal scorer. He has developed into a very good 2 way center and is a very good set up guy. Unfortunately until this year he has not had sht on his wings. Like I said.. watch the game and tell me what u think of him. Do I think he is going to have 50 points this year.. no, but he has gotten much better and has better players on his wing (Nino and Ulstrom{when he gets back}). I am not dumb enough to think he will be a 30 goal scorer anytime soon.

I agree. Difference being I don't think there is a drastic difference in Montoya and Nabokov's play where as King Henry is light years better than Biron in terms of overall skill.

What's hysterical about you guys saying this is that if you guys beat us tonight I always see you you guys saying "Why can't we play every game like it's the Rangers. The Rangers bring out the best in us.". You know it's true.

um yea, I've never seen anyone say that. ever. but you can keep saying that if it makes you feel better.

btw, you never responded (if you did I missed it) about Dubinsky playing 77+ games in 3 of his 4 seasons. You said he's healthy for the first time in a while..
