Henrik Lundqvist’s toe save is candidate for save of the year

Found March 12, 2013 on Diehardsport: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Henrik Lundqvist,  Ryan McDonagh,  Thomas Vanek
TEAMS: New York Rangers,  Buffalo Sabres

The New York Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist have had a rocky season so far but have shown glimpses of the powerhouse they could be.  When playing the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night, Lundqvist made two insane back-to-back saves.  Rangers defenseman Ryan Mcdonagh made a terrible play with the puck and it squirted across the crease right to Sabres forward Thomas Vanek, who has been lethal so far this year.  Vanek fired one low and Lundqvist made a great save going post-to-post.  Vanek then got his own rebound and as Lundqvist was down and out, he kicked his leg up in the air and stopped Vanek’s second shot.  To do this was purely incredible and Vanek seemed to be in disbelief afterwards and rightly so.

Andrew Yogan notched the tying goal early in the third period and added an assist on the fourth goal as Connecticut erased a 2-1 deficit in the third period en route to a 4-2 victory over Providence. Jason Missiaen made 37 saves to keep Providence from opening up the game early on or coming back in the third period. Blake Parlett also had a pair of assists. Be sure to check after...

Video- Henrik Lundqvist With The Leg Save

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 13, 2013
Perhaps the best save I have seen all year. Lundqvist, even though out of position, finds the puck and is able to get his leg out to make a great save.  The overhead camera at the end of the video is the best angle to see exactly what Lundqvist did.  

John Tortorella ‘Disgusted’ With Rangers, Refuses to Give Sabres Credit for Beating New York (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  March 13, 2013
“We sucked.” Those were just two of a bunch of pointed words John Tortorella had for his hockey club following the Rangers’ loss to the Sabres on Tuesday night. The New York head coach went off on one of his patented postgame rants yet again, as the Blueshirts dropped a 3-1 decision to Buffalo. Tortorella unloaded on his team after the game, saying that he was “disgusted”...

Stepan Has Become Rangers Top Center

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 13, 2013
A month ago, Rangers fans were more than willing to see the struggling Derek Stepan sent to the Colorado Avalanche for Ryan O'Reilly. While Stepan offered more offensively than O'Reilly, Rangers fans felt O'Reilly's superior face-off ability and toughness made him a much more viable option for the Blueshirts. Since those rumors, Stepan has gone on an absolute...

Girardi Playing Well Below 100%

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 14, 2013
In an article on the Rangers trying to bounce back from their tough loss in Buffalo, Pat Leonard at the Daily News reports that Dan Girardi is playing well below 100%. Girardi smirked and said “I feel good” when questioned about his health yesterday. In case you haven't noticed, Girardi has been given the "A" again with Staal out of the line-up. ....

Gaborik Hasn't Scored vs. Anyone Other Than the Islanders Since Jan. 26th

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 11, 2013
That's correct folks, if the Islanders didn't exist (which is almost the case now anyway), Marian Gaborik wouldn't have a goal since scoring two against the Maple Leafs on January 26th. In fact, Gaborik's eight goals this season have come in just five games, three of which are against the Islanders (2g vs. Toronto on 1/26, 3g vs. Bruins on 1/23). Yes, in 24 games...

Derek Stepan scores bank shot goal from behind the net

Via Diehardsport  |  March 11, 2013
New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan was breaking into the zone when he took the puck to the corner and found himself running out of real estate.  Seeing Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby playing him too aggressively, he decided to throw a backhander off Holtby’s leg and it ended up in the net. I’m not sure what possessed Holtby to play Stepan to aggressively and cut...

Micheal Haley Should Stay With the Rangers

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 13, 2013
Since being called up by the Rangers on March 5, Micheal Haley has been better than expected. His days with the Islanders showed he could fight anyone, but not much else. With the Blueshirts, we've actually seen he can be an effective hockey player. He forechecks well, uses the body and skates decently (although he won't be confused with Ryan McDonagh anytime soon) to...

Jan Levine: Game 25: BUF 3 NYR 1, Bottom Six. Tortorella. Gaborik.

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 13, 2013
The Rangers came up with one of their worst efforts of the season in their 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. The only worse than that effort might have been coach John Tortorella's post-game press conference, which was more of the usual from him, though with even more vitriol for the media than usual. Bottom six. Torts. Gaborik. The only positive from the game was the...

Goal Breakdown: Rangers sloppy, let two points slip away in Buffalo

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  March 12, 2013
The Sabres were without Tyler Ennis and Ryan Miller, are one of the worst teams in the league, and don’t play defense, so this game was supposed to be a cakewalk. It wasn’t, and while the Sabres were lucky to get out of the first ten minutes scoreless, they outplayed the Rangers in the second, forcing a lot of penalties. The Rangers played fairly well, but had some sloppy stretches...

Rangers-Sabres Preview

Via Fox Sports  |  March 11, 2013
The New York Rangers capped a very busy stretch with one of their most complete efforts of the season their last time out. They'll look to continue their surge by extending their recent success against the struggling Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. The Rangers (13-9-2) rebounded from having a four-game winning streak snapped by defeating Washington 4-1 on Sunday afternoon....
