HOLY SHIT! I don't know whether to be happy or worried. To put Staal in the Winter Classic for his first game back on a makeshift rink is making me sweat bullets.
As long as his conditioning is fine, there's no reason to hold him out. Concussions are a total crap shoot. After the symptoms are gone, you can receive a devastating hit and be perfectly fine, or a little tap into the boards and it starts all over again. That's why I'm not worried about bringing him back against a team like Philly. You just never know if or when they'll come back.
Mark Recchi on ice at Ranger practice yesterday must have said about 5 times wow the Rangers are a big team, last d-pair is now both 6'4"...
Rangers win despite the NBA-esque biased officiating at the end. Did everything they could to let Philly tie it, and they couldn't. What a POS franchise and city. 3-0 against them this year.
Hank is a fucking God. This Rangers team is tough, what a game. Intense, hard-hitting, and exciting throughout. There's something special about a hockey game that matters, just WOW.
Couldnt agree more, horrible offiicating. But Hank was great and Rupp did more than fight people. Awesome win
I didn't get to watch any of the game. I heard Hank was god like in the last few minutes. How did Staal look?
Anyone catch Torts press conference? Reporter: "What did you think of the way the Flyers - " Torts (cutting him off): "What?! Dont ask me about the Flyers, I dont wanna talk about the Flyers whatre you kidding?" Also just destroying the refs right now. What a fuckin win.
His first few shifts he was rusty, but once he got his legs under him he played well. He's not far off from being the old Staal.
This is a fucking NY team. Loved Rupp getting the Broadway Hat and Prust yelling, "Free Agent Splash!"
