OK, we’re two games into the “new” roster with another game in Canada tonight. And the New York Rangers have won both games. The defense is still a mess but the spirit does seem to be back.

Ryan Spooner (from the Bruins) is doing amazing. Six assists and one goal in three games. He’s helped Hayes light a fire under him who is on a goal streak that hasn’t happened in I can’t remember how long.

The Vancouver game started amazing, 3-0 almost right off the bat. Two goals in the first two minutes. And then it fell apart and turned into a war that ended 6-5 in OT. 55 shots for Lundqvist, which is absurd. Last night 3-1 win with 50 more shots against. Hank was a man possessed this two fend that off, it was nuts. They managed to keep a lid on rebounds and turned it around to offense more against Calgary which shows in the score.

But the defense. 50 goals against cannot keep happening, it’s unsustainable. No goalie can keep dealing with that.

The games have been fun to watch though.
