odds on a dorsett vs dubi fight tonight??

Odds on gaby scoring tonight?

22-1

3-1

 

[Green Blob*]

Rangers lose 12-1

Gaborik - 4
Dubinsky 4
Anisimov - 3
Erixon - 2
Audy-Marchessault - 2
Tyutin - 1
Delisle - 1

Pyatt - 1

Agree with this. Only difference is I might take a goal away from Audy and give another to Tyutin, but pretty much spot on.

 

[NYR Viper]

Rangers win 5-1.

Brassard x 2
Zuccarello
Kreider
Staal

Foligno

 

[Blue Blooded]

Dude, you really take these stats too religiously.

Possession stats are usually very consistent, so it is very likely that the Rangers will carry the play 5v5 and "dominate" the game. But that doesn't guarantee a win in any way, shape, or form.

So even when a bad possession team beats a good one, which isn't uncommon at all, they will likely lose the possession battle but win through better shooting/goaltending.

So with an advantage like that, I expect the Rangers to carry the play 5v5.

Feels like forever since Dubi played for us. Is that really the first line which Columbus uses? All the players we got from the trades are playing in the fourth line or third defensive pair with the exception of Nash who is injured of course. They got an entire first line...

Yet, according to this board, we're not deep.

Brassard is a top-6 forward. Moore is 22. Dorsett is a 3rd/4th liner who brings energy and something this team sorely lacks.

I still think it was a good return.

 

[Made Dan]

Dubi's gonna come out flying. More scared of him tonight than Gaborik.

 

[Ilovemymum]

Stick with it man! This will be an easy one for me since I work night shift haha

I want a night job too!
(Any job would do actually)

Yeah. Of course you are right. Brassard was also gold for us in the playoffs. Just felt so odd seeing that first line. Guess that was a slight overreaction.

I'll take this one. Think I owe you 50 from last night, so doublebor nothing. Actually misread at first, and thiught it was a 12 - 1Rangers Victory, and Pyatt would be minus one. That was less tempting to bet against.

 

[NYRangers84]

The boys fall behind 3-0 but come back to win it 4-3 in a shootout.

Lets Go Rangers!

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Duby Arty Gabby line is going to be insane tonight. I am not looking forward to them bringing the heat.

That's fair, but I feel like it's too simplistic to say that even with possession. I wonder what the possession stats are like between SJ and Buf.

BTW, how do we rank league-wide? Also how does this team compare to Torts teams?

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

if Nash is healthy by the next time Rangers visit Columbus, will Rick Nash be booed, cheered or a solid mix of both.. as a Rangers fan i cant wait for his return to Columbus.. as for the Jackets visit MSG, i bet Gaborik Dubinsky and Anisimov get cheered... i hope no one boos Gaborik Dubinsky or Anisimov, its not like they requested a trade.

Yeah, it's a bit silly to say a team should roll over another because they've been a historically better puck possession team so far. I certainly helps, but no guarantees.

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

wow first meeting against the old boys......

please win...please

I'll be there and I know I'll be cheering all three of them I'd still make those trades any day of the week, but I was a big fan of those players and I hope they're received well at the Garden. I was able to pick up tickets for that game at STH price on ScoreBig, a bit surprising considering it's the first game back for those guys. Not to mention it's the first home game of a new division rivalry.

 

[Wolfy*]

A special game for Brassard, Dorsett, and for Gaborik, Dubi. Too bad Nash can't play.

Tonight's fight: Dorsett vs Boll. Book it..

Well, Im not really sure, after all they are old friends.

 

[Zucc36]

Very interesting game. Can feel that it will be a special game with so many former players playing their old team. Will we see a fight? Dorsett/Dubinsky....

Btw, Zucc deserves a goal or four after his effort the last games....

Of course the former players are getting the goals.

2-2 2xGaborik, Zuccarello, Brassard
Shootout with Zucc with the winner.

 

[Wolfy*]

Dubinsky is actually a decent fighter, his last fight 3 weeks ago was in fact a great one, and he got the best part there..

 

[JCrusher*]

im surprised people are scared for tonight game, i mean CBJ isnt a good team. Gaborik can score but he isnt as dangerous as players on the pens or teh ducks.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

New York Bluegers vs. Columbus Ranjackets.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Excited for this matchup. Columbus is struggling and we've looked so much better of late, so I'm expecting a win, but interested to see a lot of our old guys return. Finally don't have work or hockey during the game tonight for once.

But all those ex Rangers man.
