Got to root for Jersey tonight. Puke

Nah. Hope both us and them miss the playoffs

This is outrageous and out of line.

Love it when players stick up for their teammates. It’s a shame it did not happen to Chytil on that Dickinson dirty hit

Columbus breaks scoreless streak at 173:24.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Haha we're all watchin this game. NJ goalie is the shit. Igor should take some notes.

I'm fine with guys sticking up for teammates when the hit is dirty or borderline, but Thompson was admiring his pass. Looked clean all the way.

 

[Kovalev27]

Hate jersey winning and solidifying that 3rd seed but we need Columbus to fall out of this race and they are really falling apart right now.

Hey, Bolts fan coming in peace. Do any of you happen to know what happened to the Game Misconduct podcast? Hasn't posted since 3/3. I know they cover the whole league but it's a pretty Rangers heavy pod and I know that LaGreca works for MSG so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks.

I really thought after that loss last week that the Jackets would make it and the Rangers were cooked. Suddenly the Rangers control their own destiny.

nobody is ever truly cooked in this horrible east

 

[Mike in Houston]

Well when you put it that way...

I don't think it turns out quite this bad if Subban isn't a piece of shit. Blais was actually looking pretty damn good until PK tried to end his career.

Not that it's likely at all that he ends up being as good as Buch, but there was certainly a world where he became a contributing middle six player for us during a couple playoff runs.

I think Blais's impact would have been closer to Rempe than Buch. Blais maxed out at 9 goals and 11 assists, put up .27 PPG across his career, averaged ~11m of ice time across his career, and never played more than 53 games in a season including playoffs. Those wrecking ball guys have some value, but give me another Buch 10 times out of 10.

Yeah, I take Buch every time too. Even not being a wrecking ball, he definitely had some bite to his game.

It just felt like Blais had lost a step when he finally returned from that slew foot (almost an entire calendar year later?). A big part of his value was that he was a big, rough, energy guy, with reasonable hands. He wasn't really that once he got back; he was just a Gauthier level bottom 6er.

Holy Politics, Batman! Please stop! Thank you.

 

[Cmox]

Looks clean to me.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Looks clean to me.

I don’t have a dog in this hunt but doesn’t his shoulder run straight into Buch’s head?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Minny is running Wild on Seattle in the first 5 minutes. 3 goals on their last 4 shots.

How's Kaapo doing?

 

[Boris Zubov]

How's Kaapo doing?

He exists I guess. He's playing with Shane Wright tonight, but not much sustained pressure. I'm about to turn this off and head to bed, this game has been a good lullaby.

It's a nice country.

Looks clean to me.

Looks clean to me also.

I can't grasp how this got 5 + a game and the recent hit on Chytil got nothing

The inconsistency from DOPS is really bizarre.
