GDT: #6 - 10/23/21 | RANGERS @ senators | 1:00 - MSG

[SniperOnTheWing]

Bold prediction: Panarin gets a point today. Maybe even a primary one.

 

[tlk]

Still a bolder prediction: We don't suck on PP

 

[Player big P]

One of the few times I would be able to watch a game at a reasonable hour and yet I'll be stuck at some restaurant in Belgium

 

[Idlerlee]

2,397-0 NYR

Lafreniere (2,016)
Stutzle own goals (381)

Not one goal for McKegg?

Demand to have some booze the game on!

 

[Idlerlee]

If NHL TV doesn't f*** me over by blacking out this game, I should be able to watch live and actually get some f***ing sleep for a change.

Going by your pottymouth it sounds like you're in need of a crankynap immediately!

 

[Chytilmania]

This is a good test early in the season. We should win 5-1 or 5-2 going 2/4 on the PP. The Rangers of old lose these games here and there and don't show up for the 1PM Saturday.. Would love to end the game by the middle of the 2nd but we shall see.

 

[Row I Goon]

4am Sunday puck drop down under….ugh!

 

[Jauffre]

I just thought of this game. Time for revenge.

9-1 Rangers.

 

[duhmetreE]

My mood depends on which goalie is starting.

You know, so far this season something about Gallant just makes me feel the difference between an experienced each who is confident in what he's doing and a first time coach who is overanalyzing everything. Just Gallant's decision making with lineups and usage along with his comments to the media and his overall demeanor.

He just makes it feel like he's totally in control and confident in what he's doing - like an adult is in charge. With Quinn it always kind of felt like he was unsure and kind of overthinking things.

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Any chance Kaapo plays?

No he is not eligible yet

Quinn would change up the lines, see success, then change it right back after one blah shift. GG makes changes and gives guys a chance to gel if they show a spark.

You mean like a real coach

 

[romba]

McKegg Stand PKs and isn’t a liability in the d zone. Gauthier does not and is. That’s why The Keg plays over him. Coaches want safe and secure with grit on the 4th line.

Nashville PBP guy was like ‘what a NAME!’ for McKegg, the color guy was like ‘sounds like a guy you’d love to hang out with if you know what I mean’, PBP guy said ‘FOR REAL’, was hilarious lol

 

[Harbour Dog]

We could very well lose this game, but I have to admit that I'm more comfortable with how we are going to handle momentum now, than I was last year.

Gallant has put the onus of leading the team solely on the players. It feels like genuine accountability is at work now; it's their ship to sail.

 

[Kocur26]

I’ll take a point

 

[Raspewtin]

this could totally be me making shit up but I feel like this team has significant more ability to "weather the storm" and keep cool in games than previous years. they can hold off a bad period and then come back strong. they did it against toronto and nashville where they had unholy 2nd periods (which are definitely an issue) but had very strong, on lock 3rd periods.

every game the team does a few things right, it all just needs to come together.

 

[DialUp]

If Geo is in net, they need to go to the old "play like you don't even have a goalie" backup mentality that made Talbot, Raanta, and early Geo "effective"

 

[duhmetreE]

Bold prediction: Panarin gets a point today. Maybe even a primary one.

My prediction is someone will finally finish one of his primo setups... it feels like he's had 10-15 already..

That's the bad part of leaning heavily on playmaking... you're at the mercy of others finishing abilities. He needs more Kucherov in his game ( minus the injuries )

 

[Irishguy42]

Same lineup otherwise

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

going to have to miss this one, hope the offense wakes the f up

 

[aufheben]

I can't say anything about LAF but I look forward to seeing him tomorrow. Loved him in junior.

That being said, stutzle has been Ottawas most dangerous forward by far. He's buzzing every shift. He's on the third to spread the offense, not because he's not controlling the play every time he's on the ice. Very exciting player.

I look forward to the game tomorrow you guys will probably take it haha

Was your interpretation of that post that this board would like to hear more about Stutzle?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Same lineup otherwise

Oh well. Unfortunately he's going to play 20-25 games this year.
