See what happens when we score goals- Post Game Thoughts - Rangers 4 - Flyers 0

There really isn’t that much to say about that game but that it was exactly what we needed. That was a dominating game on all levels. That was the first time the Flyers have been shutout at home since 2006 and its great when your backup goalie can get it done.

The Rangers played a sound offensive, even-strength game. They scored 3 great goals with even strength play. Dawes goal was beautiful patience and a perfect shot. Prucha's goal was great rushing the net and finding the loose puck. That was a very quick play and I was surprised Prucha got a stick on it. He rushed hard at the net which is exactly what you need. Shanny's goal was also a great goal. He showed off his shot that has made him a sure Hall of Famer. He placed it well and that’s something that has to continue. Along with the goals the puck control was excellent. They worked the puck well up the ice and in the neutral zone and stopped the Flyers from really getting a chance to get in the game.

On the defensive side, the Rangers shut down the Flyers. Vally step in and played an excellent game. He made 20 saves, nothing too challenging but the Flyers definitely had their chance.

Now there is not much analysis to do in a dominating and one sided game like that. There is one problem with this game. If the play doesn’t continue then this play meant nothing but one win. This is a game that should bring momentum to the offense which desperately needs it. You see what happens when you score goals. The pressure on the defense to stay up a goal or within a goal is gone. They can play relaxed and do what they do best, shut people down. We just dominated the first place team, but one game doesnt put us in the playoffs. We need to keep this play going because this is the play that we have been looking for all year. This play will get us in the playoffs.
