Blues 4, Rangers 1

…hmmm, energy? Effort? Wonder where the Rangers can find some of that. 11-3-1 with Avery in the line-up, 6-5-3 without. Nuff said.

…teams who don’t work hard don’t get power plays.

…McD’s game seems to be sagging a bit lately. Wonder if all those minutes are catching up with the young defenseman.

…Rangers 2-3-1 since HBO began filming. Just sayin’.

…Rangers could have used Callahan’s grandmother out there tonight. (h/t to Desmond L.)

…zero points and a -3 in the last two games for Richards. Also only won 4-of-23 faceoffs tonight.

…at least EC was in there in case the game went to a shootout.

…loved seeing Hagelin get some time with Richards and Gaborik. He’s getting better every game.

…Dubinsky couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat right now. This has to be rock bottom for him, no?

…i dare someone to give me a reason why Boyle shouldn’t be a healthy scratch on Saturday night.

…when was the last time a Rangers team figured out an opponent’s trap?

…poor Hank.

…got to give Del Zotto credit for fighting his way out of whatever went wrong last season. He’s been real solid this year, especially since Sauer went down.

…over 20 minutes for Stralman?!?!?!?!

…off tomorrow then in Phoenix Saturday night.
