Thrash the Net

No, really I mean thrash. Not crash. Look at the goals scored by Callahan and Gomez tonight. They did a lot more than just simply crash the net for a rebound. They made it their ultimate mission even if it mean gong through innocent bystander Johan Hedberg. 

You had to have liked what you saw from the Rangers on this night to not have much offensive flow yet find a way to put the puck in the net. That is what the Rangers need to do more of on a consistent basis if they want to continue their winning ways.

Post-game thoughts...

- Congrats to Colton Orr on scoring his first goal in 83 games. No confirmation that after the game he texted Wayne Gretzky saying "I'm comin' for your record."

- Despite the win, I have to get on Tom Renney's case. Once again, we saw sloppy changes by the Blueshirts and their bench boss. It lead to a goal in the Calgary game, lead to another goal tonight, and at least 2 prime scoring chances as well. Unacceptable but fixable.

- The newly constructed line of Voros-Dubinsky-Sjostrom had an excellent game; keeping pucks deep and constantly pressuring Atlanta defenders. I will get a petition by tomorrow with 10,000 signatures requesting Tom Renney to keep these lines for more than a game.

Until next time...
