GDT: ECF: Game 3 - New York Rangers @ Florida Panthers, 3pm ET, ABC

I updated the lines on what we know, there is no morning skate since it’s an early game, so we may not know till warm up’s.

I think it’s obvious Vesey is out . I know no one will read this and will ask what the lines are, but I’m used to it. lol

 

[Kupo]

He registered 5 hits in Game 2. He's been alright in that department.

Yes but nobody died from those hits so they obviously don’t count.

*I* read what you write.

 

[Profet]

Any idea on who is in for Vesey?

I hope it’s Wheeler. Guy has been dying to get into a game I think. He deserves a chance. Can’t do worse than Kakko…

Unless we're talking foot speed...

Wheeler is the one player worse than Kakko with foot speed.

 

[hardnosed]

If the coaches look to replace Vesey with the same type player, it just might be Brodz. If Ros, got hurt, probably see Wheeler. If Will is out, maybe Kakko. At least there's where my thinking goes.

It’s been 425 days since Chytil has scored a goal.

Today is the day that streak ends

Foot speed is only useful if you actually use it. The last few playoff games Kakko has been invisible. At least you know Wheeler will give you an honest effort.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

I don't care how ugly. I don't care if it's deserved. I don't care if Igor steals one.

Just win baby.

 

[Leonardo87]

Nah it’s nothing personal. It gets lost in the shuffle with so many posts and the OP after a few pages folks don’t look back on.

Just want to make sure everyone can get the updates.

Effort only matters if you can keep up with the play on the ice. Otherwise it's just wasted effort.

 

[Cmox]

A rusty wheeler is someone I do not want to see tonight.

Id rather see Brodzinski, and I really dislike Brodzinski.

For the love of god:

Kreider - Mika - Ros
Panarin - Troch - Laff
Cuylle - Chytil - kakko
Goodrow - Wennberg - Rempe

Wennberg is a black hole on offense. He’s a good shutdown guy - use him that way instead of keeping him on the third line and wondering why it doesn’t score.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Wheeler is faster than Kakko

 

[nevesis]

Let’s f***ing go.

Take it to them early and surprise them. Road mentality for the next two.

This is the game they need to steal, which will help put massive pressure on the Panthers for Game 4.

Get it done fellas. LGR!!!!!!!

 

[HolyHagelin]

Yeah, Florida won't be intense today.

They'll be throwing checks like bombs early and often.



Some fans don't care about reality. Rempe is fun to watch but the puck usually spends its time in the Rangers' defensive end when he's out there.

Some fans don’t care about reality. Rempe has below average advanced metrics, but the team wins every time he skates.

 

[DumpnChase12]

Guess who's peeking behind the wall

 

[LOFIN]

Wheeler is faster than Kakko

He's also faster than Barkov and that doesn't mean he's the better player now does it.

I agree but people were using speed as the argument for Kakko over Wheeler lol

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

My wedding was in February 2011. After football season and before NHL playoffs. Perfect!

I’ll allow that but don’t bleed into March. I’m not missing a big conference tournament game.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Just do this today:



And all will be fine.

Exactly.

I don’t get why fans think Kakko is somehow fast or faster thank Wheeler. Kakko may look fast cause he stick handles a lot but he is not really get that fast from place A to B

I guess they are thinking that his injury has affected the speed. Which is not an outlandish thought.

Florida isn't that fast, Kakko is fine even with his slow speed. What we could use is more O-zone time for the bottom-6, he provides that.

We could use more than 4 points from that line between 50-91-24 in two plus series.
