GDT: Blue Jackets @ Rangers | 7 pm | MSG

[Kakko]

I really wish Kravtsov or Andersson had been able to stick it out this season. Not so really because of them. I just want Lemieux, Fast and a traffic cone to be the best 4th line in the league.

 

[CasusBelli]

Could pass for Dubi’s brother.

 

[Priorae]

Crazy fast

 

[Mandar]

Gotta be the best defensive game played by the forwards all season.

And to Jovo's sadness, Trouba has been excellent....our best D....bar none....tonight.

 

[eco's bones]

Buch struggled on that last shift. You know what put it up high and hard on the glass if you have too.

Columbus playing with a lot of energy after playing last night. This Kevlenieks probably hasn't played in a month anyway but he's been good.

Can't take this for granted. Got to go at them hard in the offensive zone in the 3rd and got to be smart in the defensive zone and stay out of the penalty box.

 

[CasusBelli]

This game is just flying by. Wow.

 

[Governor]

Fun game. Great goaltending on both ends.

Our Forwards have done a great job picking up the man in the slot/back checking

He’s starting to give me the same feeling Staal gives me when he’s on the ice.

Buchnevich’s game is all about confidence. He has so many NHL attributes which come out when he’s feeling it, and he plays like a 1st liner. But when the confidence isn’t there, he plays like a bottom 6 guy.

Shesterkin was the final piece of Ruff's defensive system. Go figure.

 

[bl02]

Trouba been very active tonight.
I’ve been getting on Buch a lot but he has to be better trying to get that puck out

I think McKegg would actually work fine there solely because of his skating

 

[Leonardo87]

Rangers D has been very good. Not giving up too many shots or quality chances, Igor has not had to work too hard, so that’s a good thing. Have kept a lot of the play on the outside and not letting Columbus get too close to the crease.

 

[Fugazy]

This game is just flying by. Wow.

This is the kind of game I would love to be at.

@EdJovanovski

One of his better games, still failed to clear it several times and making soft plays. Gliding to the boards with his head turned, and skating slow

wow...a first liner? gotta wonder why he very rarely "feels it". He has no reason to not feel confident either.

We should start calling him Zoloft to get that confidence rolling.

Kinda like how Renney's system worked for a bit because he had Vezina-caliber Lundqvist? lol

 

[Row I Goon]

I’m in workshops all day for work so relying on this thread and sneaky glances at the cell to keep up....

I’m at the game, want more goals but that’s just me

Name one.

 

[Rempe73]

At the beginning of the year he played like a 1st liner, or an amazing 2nd liner at worst. I don’t know why he’s not confident more often, but it’s very obvious when he isn’t. Maybe it’s just in his DNA. Maybe he was brought up that way. That if you make a mistake, you bring immense shame to your family.

Him and Kakko are similar in that regard. Need to bring in Filatov and put him between them, his swagger would rub off on them and we’d sit back & watch the magic happen

These KHL shenanigans are cringey.
