Comments on: Bounce Back Weekend?…It All Starts in Buffalo http://www.nyrangerscast.com/blog/2008/02/23/bounce-back-weekendit-all-starts-in-buffalo/ Two die-hard NY Rangers fans host a popular fan-based podcast and accompanying blog Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:38:21 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Inferno http://www.nyrangerscast.com/blog/2008/02/23/bounce-back-weekendit-all-starts-in-buffalo/comment-page-1/#comment-206 Inferno Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:52:30 +0000 http://www.nyrangerscast.com/blog/2008/02/23/bounce-back-weekendit-all-starts-in-buffalo/#comment-206 Henrik made big saves in the Montreal game as well. Difference tonight? The Rangers actually bounced back in the offensive zone, created pressure, and scored a goal. If we lose this game 3-2, or 4-3 or whatever, that save by Henrik on Vanek is quickly forgotten. Its the nature of being a hockey fan I suppose. What have you done for me lately, and what were the results. Henrik made big saves in the Montreal game as well. Difference tonight?

Henrik did what I talked about earlier, he made some great saves from close range and allowed the Rangers to stay in this game. Big, big win.

If we're going to make a charge down the stretch we can't do it with an anonymous Jagr.

The bottom line is this: The Rangers have no chance to do anything in the playoffs without great (not good) goaltending from Lundqvist. Just to get to the playoffs though, they need Lundqvist to come up big and win some games for them, especially on the road in a tough atmosphere like Buffalo. We need Hank to be confident heading into the last 20 or so games of the season. Another disastrous night tonight and I honestly think Renney will have to go with Valiquette for the next week. I'm not necessarily against that myself, but Henrik is the type of goalie who likes to play every game and if he's benched for a week, who knows where his head would be at afterwards? It'd be nice to see Jagr break his goalscoring slump also.. Agreed, Foster.

After what happened against the Habs, he must have a bounce back game if he wants any confidence for the remainder of the season. A good game for him tonight will not only lead to a Rangers win but can prevent him from getting down on himself as well as show Blueshirt fans that he really is going to be THE MAN down the stretch.
