from tv land it seemed like a really lame crowd. Potvin Sucks note; Let’s hope that someday they have a Matt Martin or Travis Hamonic SUCKS chant. We can use 4 more cups and another hall of fame player.
Actually, the Ranger players hated when the crowd did that when denis was playing. Even worse was the, “Denis Potvin beats his wife” chants. Because they knew he was going to take it out on somebody in the corner… not a drunken blue section moron. But I guess they didn’t mind it too much… because while Denis was skating around with Lord Stanley’s Cup, the rangers were skating around with new Sassoon(SP?) jeans.
OOOH LA LA!

Nice rebound for the good guys. They did what they need to do to win.
It makes you wonder how good they can be if KO and Frans get back to 20+ goal paces.
Comeau and Hillen are playing like they don’t want to be considered afterthoughts anymore. Let’s hope that continues. Hillen has been on a steady progression that normally comes when you mix talent with experience… but COMEAU… man.. this is the guy we’ve seen flashes of for three years. Let’s hope this isn’t a two week Shawn Bates spurt…then Claude Raines.
JJ and Schremp have done a very agood job, but will probably lose their jobs with the returns of Weight and Bergy. They have given the Isles some deeadline options though, and [dead horse coming] some options with guys like Bailey and Tambellini. JJ has been vastly better than Tamby as a PRESENCE in all three zones. He’s still a little tentative, but it seems like he’s just a few good hits, and some goals away from getting the confidence he needs to be a full time NHLer.
Rolly was terrific… so was Lundquist. It would have been nice if Rolly could have gotten the donut. It’s also too bad he didn’t get the full Islander ranger experience (same goes for tavares)… hopefully that will be back if they are fighting for a playoff spot later on… not likely though.

Great work tonight by the entire defensive unit. Rangers had almost no clear chances on rebounds.
