Lafy Zibs Kreids
Panarin Strome Goodrow
Blais Chytil Kakko
Hunt Rooney Reaves

I like it for now. Hopefully Panarin is better today

We'll know in 10 minutes, but I think the word yesterday was no KK tonight. We'll see.

hopefully he's cleared

 

[Lua]

I guess Strome confirmed back in. But why Barron?

Even with the nerves, he looked way more effective than McKegg. Oh well, he'll be back.

 

[rangers1314]

Barron has been sent back down.

 

[Crease]

Strome in. Barron down. Kakko likely back Friday.

 

[rangers1314]

Strome in, no KK per GG.

 

[Crease]

They could put Gauthier or McKegg in the Buch hole and keep the rest of the lineup intact. Or they could promote Laf—but that means no French Connection. Decisions decisions.

 

[duhmetreE]

Gauthier was skating with Chytil and Blais at practice. French Connection still lives

 

[Machinehead]

Shit, how'd that get in there?

 

[Crease]

I really hope Panarin-Strome-Goodrow hits the ground running. It would solve a lot of lineup questions.

Agreed, though I'm still very concerned about what that would do to Kakko's ice time.

I hope so too. Anything to get Kakko off that line.

 

[bobbop]

I thought he played pretty well.

 

[Crease]

Agreed, though I'm still very concerned about what that would do to Kakko's ice time.

I don’t think it would affect Kakko’s ice time, because there’s an open slot next to Kreider and Zibanejad (assuming Gallant wants to keep the French Connection together).

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Strome-Goodrow
Lafreniere-Chytil-Blais

Three balanced lines with balanced time 5v5.

It seems crazy with how often I post on here, but I'm unclear what the 'french connection' even is.

Laf, Chytil, Blais?

This will be more French Connection II, which was nowhere as popular as the original French Connection.

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Strome-Goodrow

Kakko not ready till Friday

but that's just me

Why do the Rangers always seem to get a week off the start of the season ?

No team has played more games than them, so I'm not sure what you mean.

You're missing our 2x SC warrior

 

[will1066]

You're missing our 2x SC warrior

Oh snap

So much for th0se lines... though I would be really intrigued by how a forechecking demon like Hunt does with Kakko on zone possessions.

 

[Machinehead]

Kakko not ready till Friday

DID I SAY TODAY

 

[chosen]

No teams in the Metro are minus in goal differential.
