The Rangers controlled the first two periods

"OEL" has excellent offensive abilities while being solid in his own end. Phoenix will be hoping he has an impressive showing against the world's best young players.There are going to be many players at this tournament to keep an eye on as well as the story line of whether or not Canada can win a sixth straight gold medal. For anyone keeping track, the last country to win a gold medal at this tournament besides Canada The United States You know this underdog team would love to do that.. Battling his opponents, as well as having to deal with a his own teams failing defense.

This has been Henriks worst season in the four years he has been the goalie for the Blue Shirts and yesterdays game he needed all the luck and skill he can muster, Or did he have an angel on his shoulder .The Rangers controlled the first two periods. Seems the pressure is off Drury playing on that line as he is playing with a little bit more step in his game. But Drury was not the star , nor did he stand out in yesterday’s game. Although he made some very nice defensive plays and scored the first goal of the game, there was three other players that out shined him.Michal Rozsival played his best game of the season. He was more physical, had several takeaways and shot the puck every chance he could. For the first time this season, he showed patience when controlling the puck and took his time when passing and shooting the puck He made several very good defensive plays He did more in this game than he has all season.

He earned his 25 minutes of ice time and if he can up the tempo in his physical play, Rosy just might turn his season around for him self. Like Del Zotto, Rosy found his way deep into the offensive zone several times and added to the offensive threat. His efforts should be recognized.Sean Avery was another player that stood out in this game. Every time a Fliers Player had the puck, there was Avery taking it away from them or providing solid fore checking.
