Rangers Notch Second Win

The New York Rangers improved to (2-0-0) after beating the Lightning 2 - 1. They swept the 2 game series in Prague.

Thoughts:
1. The powerplay in which Redden scored on was beautiful. After about 10 shots from the point from Roszival and Gomez (yes, two players who never shot last year) Naslund fed Redden in front of the net and Redden buried it.
2. Zherdev is so much better defensively than people let on. Larry Brooks can kiss my ass. I saw Zherdev drop down to block a shot. Then I saw him unleash a shoulder into Stamkos that knocked Stamkos back 5 feet. Zherdev is pretty big as 6'2 205.
3. Stamkos is going to score a lot of goals. First the shot Lundqvist saved yesterday and then an absolute rip that had to of dented the crossbar. I'm just happy Melrose is an idiot and didn't play him that much.
4. Melrose said after the game he was embarrassed. Damn right he should be. The Rangers completely outworked the Lightning.
5. Kalinin played a hell of a game. He impressed me today, especially on the Penalty Kill. I don't know if we can expect that every game but damn that was good.
6. Marc Staal is a beast
7. The fourth line almost had an opportunity at almost scoring. Actually, Betts made a nice move to the net. They got some good scoring chances. Their hard work led to the Gomez goal.
8. It's so nice not having to watch Hollweg hit people for no reason.
9. The Voros - Malone fight was the worst thing I've ever seen. Malone just dropped to the floor.
10. I'm loving the 3rd line.
