GDT: #1 - 10/05/17 | avalanche @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[McRanger]

I predict that after Lundqvist gives up his first goal. 3 posters in particular will tell us that he should have stopped it and that he is washed up.

Or the goal is an unscreened wrister from 30 feet out and we get to read about how the second rule of thermodynamics and the book of Job prove that the shot was completely unstoppable and Lundqvist is still the best goalie ever ever ever and also devilishly handsome.

I'm rooting for your scenario.

what time do we think the pregame ceremony will start?

7PM EST game will start at 7:25. That's not official but it's Rongos.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Lets get it!!!!!!

Chytil with 2 G 2 A

 

[NYRPat21]

Can't wait, should be a fun season boys.

 

[CasusBelli]

Step had a hat trick in his debut. I want Chytil to pull a Hertl on Varlamov

Whoops. My memory truly is crap. But I'm right there with you. LGR!

 

[CasusBelli]

Lets get it!!!!!!

Chytil with 2 G 2 A

To quote Iceman: "Don't tease me."

 

[FultonReed]

Fully expect the MSG crew to be slathering hometown boy praise all over Shatty like he's the next coming, with a "the Kevin Shattenkirk era has begun" statement at puck drop.

Who cares if they do? He is a damn good defenseman and can be a huge asset to this team.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Kinda sick of the Shattenkirk media hype. The milking of the story continued further today on player's tribune.

Words are wind. Show us tonight. This game has to be a statement game by KS! fire emoji ...

 

[haohmaru]

I never thought I'd be giddy seeing a GDT thread. I smiled when I saw it, lol. LGR!

 

[East Coast Bias]

Gotta say, I didn't expect the "I'm already tired of Shattenkirk" posts before the puck even dropped on opening day but here we are.

 

[EpicDing]

Lol

 

[Irishguy42]

Zadorov being a scratch is hilarious.

Well of course that would be nice. I'm happy for him that he's getting to live out his childhood dream, how many people can say that?

The new guys always get the most airtime on opening night. I remember when Holik and Kasparitus were here to carry the Rangers out of their playoff drought.

 

[Zibanejbread]

what time do we think the pregame ceremony will start?

My email says warmups at 6:29, player intros at 7, puck drop at 7:18.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Just got to my hotel room. Stoked for Shatty's home debut.

 

[FJB]

I can't wait to see Shatty's debut but he's not Karlsson.

Let's Go Rangers !

My ISP just texted that a remote firmware update will be done on my modem overnight, so hoping that does not interfere too much with the viewing. Fingers crossed !

No one is Karlsson except for Karlsson

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

So when are we getting married, Amanda? BACK OFF, HAYES.

 

[Off Sides]

I am most excited to see the development, not just this game but through the whole season. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing the players who can take the next step to do it whether they are rookies or vets.

 

[Kane One]

Loffen got 10 likes for the GDT so on pace for 820 for the season if my math is correct.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Is Duchene playing? And if so what are the odds he puts in the effort to score on us?
