Official 2012 NHL regular season thread

[Teagz]

Probably my favorite game of the year, narrowly edging out a game 7 in the playoffs.

It needs to be 3 already.

Good first period of hockey. Lundqvist looked amazing.

 

[germany00]

Not any goals, but dam its been an exciting game

 

[germany00]

hahahah Rupp, whatta beaut

 

[NV]

Can't believe Rupp did the salute, but what a huge goal for the Rangers. Down 1 going into 2nd intermission.

 

[germany00]

just turned my TV back on to see its 3-2 rangers! wow

 

[NV]

Lundqvist <3 Great fucking win.

Without lundqvist that game wouldve been a whole hell of a lot different

Without Lundqvist the Rangers record would be a whole lot different. Granted Biron is having a great season as backup but Lundqvist is the heart and soul of this team, and you saw that today.

Just got done watching the Cold War on Ice show on the new NBC Sports Network. That shit was amazing.

Said it before and I'll say it again; Henrik Lundqvist is the scariest goalie with a one goal lead.

 

[snipezo]

Arguably the best goalie in the league.

I've always said if the Rangers got any sort of consistent offense throughout a season in front of Lundqvist they'd be one scary team to play, and they're proving it this year.

I think having a taste of the playoffs last season really helped with boosting their confidence even if they were gone in 5 games

Eh idk. They were eliminated in a shootout the year before on the last game of the season. It was nice to get in the playoffs, but being pretty much dominated by a team they dominated throughout the season was deflating.

The main difference this year really comes down to one main point, and that is that Gaboriks back to his old self.

thats true, actually all of the NYR offense is really stepping up.

Yeah but when your top guy is producing like he should be it makes it a lot easier for everyone to take a deep breath, relax, and do their thing. And this is clearly evident for the Rangers.
