12/11/11 Rangers vs. Florida Panthers

If the Rock hits you, he'll kill you. If the Rock misses, the wind behind the punch will give you pneumonia, and you'll die anyway. Your choice, jabroni.

Rangers against the Florida Panthers.

The Rangers got back to their track of winning last night after beating the Buffalo Sabres to the score of 4-1. Carl Hagelin and Ryan Callahan got two shorthanded goals, and Hagelin managed to pot another one on route to a win. The Rangers got what they needed last night, and that was secondary scoring. Had Hagelin not chipped in, the Rangers would have still won, but to a much slimmer margin that would have been too close for comfort. The Rangers got what they needed from Hagelin, now they need the rest of the team to contribute. The Florida Panthers are a surprising team this season. The Panthers beat the Rangers a few weeks ago to the score of 2-1, and currently sit at the third seed in the Eastern Conference. If there was a team where secondary scoring was absolutely needed against, it's the Florida Panthers. After being beaten 2-1, the Rangers need to amp up their play with more hits, takeaways, and capitalization on opportunities if they want to come out of this game winners.

The Diagnosis


This is another close one to call. The Panthers are so good, and the Rangers just played a tough fought game last night. I cannot predict a score tonight because this game is so close to call. If anything, it will end in overtime.

Enjoy the game!
