Someone should make a highlight video of our season thus far and only use clips from practice.

I was at a Ranger Oiler game back in 1984 or '85 I forget at MSG with my Dad and brother and most of you young one's probably never heard of him but those long time Ranger fans like me have, Grant Ledyard had the game of his life as he scored 4 points or so but it was all in vain as we lost the game in a shootout 8-7 blowing if my memory is correct a 6-1 lead...seriously.

Gretzky, Kurri, Coffey and Messier were unbelievable as was that whole Oiler lineup as this was the Oilers right about when they were ready to commence their dynasty. I know alot of you are too young to have witnessed them but the Oilers back than were unstoppable. If Corsi was around than, they would have broke the model....lol

Anyways besides waxing poetic, I bring this up because I got a feeling tomorrow will be a shootout as no one will be be able to stop the other. Prediction from me is Rangers 7...Oilers 5 in a barn burner.

Too bad I'm going to a wedding cause as I'd love to have watched this one live. I'll have to watch the replay on DVD...oh well. Enjoy the shootout boys...it's going to be a dandy!...:nod:

Grant Ledyard? I barely know who Jari Kurri is lol.
 
I worked for Imatran Voima one summer. Jari Kurri was revered over there and in the headlines.

At first I thought,... shootout in 1984? Then I read on and see you meant a high scoring game. For a second you lost all my respect. LOL

I do believe though it could be a barn burner, especially with Hank letting in a few bad ones.

Gretzky was interviewed in the booth of the NJ vs EDM game, and he mentioned how the players today are so much better than when he played. Much less parity back then. They stood out cause not everyone was as good as there are now. He is such a class act to admit that.

Looks like one of Silverfish's creations
 
Calling out the 4th line when they've barely played and gotten the best 5v5 on-ice metrics of any line is slightly worrisome to me as it indicates that Quinn either hasn't taken notice or hasn't liked what he's seen from them.

I do like that he is giving the defencemen the leeway to be creative with the puck, but I hope it only applies to the ones playing the right side. Skjei and Staal have some bad tendencies that come out when they try to be creative.

There is no shutting down McDavid or Draisaitl, they will get their looks. You can only keep them to the outside and not let them by you.

With the afternoon game and a week off, I agree it will be hard to be sharp for this game. But at the same time, I was surprised by the enthusiasm this team had the first two games. They might take a step backward tomorrow, in the sloppy vain, but the work effort I believe will be in full force.

Yeah, you're right about McDavid but Trouba thinks Draisaitl should take a seat :)
