A lot of credit goes to the NY Rangers coaching staff. They have observed how Montreal tends to feed much of their offense through Subban when he is on the ice. Their forward on that side is anticipating the pass to Subban, even on the power play, and is jumping in almost before the pass is made. Subban therefore has little to know time to do anything with it. Montreal is being outhustled, and their passing was atrocious tonight. They are either missing the passes or making the wrong passes to guys who are covered. They got 41 shots on goal tonight, but many of them were long distance with open lanes for Lundqvist to see the puck. He is playing way too well to give up those goals. Montreal backup goalie played well tonight, but he is up against a goalie playing outstanding. And finally, the change from Tortorelli as coach is a great move by NY. The Rangers are playing with discipline and staying out of trouble. Montreal is playing undisciplined (taking stupid penalties) and seeming frustrated. Torts was so stubborn. So, so, so stubborn. I love AV's game. The short shift, roll four lines with the lead game is a solid approach, especially with the Rangers' team speed. Subban has showed his true, selfish colors in this series. Was a liability in Game 1 and a big TO lead to the backbreaker. In Game 2, he was trying to be a one man show and go coast to coast too much. He's talented, but he's a "me" player. Learn to pass the puck, young man. Lundqvist is on a different planet, right now. The 41 stops is a wee bit misleading as many of the shots were just thrown at him from all over the ice, but he was other worldly in the first. MVP type play. Quote

The Canadiens are still a dangerous team. Dude, you're an idiot. The Rangers are going to roll Budaj or anyone else who plays net for Montreal this series. It'll go five games at best. Quote

I missed your actual point because I was too busy throwing up a little. Please, please do not compare the Bruins to UND. In any way. Ever. Even if it's just a simile.

This is how I feel when people compare UND to Team Thug N Slug (Philadelphia Flyers). I would pick the Flyers over the Hab-nots, but not by much. Quote
