I agree with you that so far the third period has been strong both offensively and defensively.<br /><br />They have shut down their opponents in the third and played smart hockey. I have to give Sather credit for holding on to the young talent and allowing them time to develop. Del Zotto and Gilroy have added stability to the defensive core and a good scoring touch.<br /><br />It's early but they look good.<br /><br />DTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-79679451515313063772009-10-09T14:20:43.503-04:002009-10-09T14:20:43.503-04:00Looking at last year's opening, with the Range...Looking at last year's opening, with the Rangers winning more games than not -- no one ever believed it could continue even with them on top of the standings. there were too many games in the final period, too many last minute dirty goals to pull out the win, whereas...<br /><br />This squad has more confidence and consistency -- and a system that appears to be working AND satisfying the fans -- MORE GOALS. I am on the verge of believing in what is happening -- as Larry Brooks pointed out, another blue-collar win, which is another way to say 'a team win' and 'earning every single check, hit and goal'. <br /><br />I am especially feeling good about a young'ens on D --- the Gilroy jersey is in the mail. But maybe it should have been the Del Zotto jersey? My Rozsival jersey has been converted into a seat warmer.<br /><br />tdrThe Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-39836912617625156442009-10-09T11:37:56.864-04:002009-10-09T11:37:56.864-04:00It's certainly a different team that I'm w...It's certainly a different team that I'm watching so far. I know it's early and I'm not anointing anyone but you have to be impressed with the way they fought back to win this game.<br /><br />Rangers in the past might have folded the tent. Last night as a "Team" they stuck together and that my friend is a good sign for the future.Kotsy's Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450255858469964123noreply@blogger.com
