For some perspective, just see what's going on today with HFBoston.

Are they also annoying one of their moderators just because it's Monday?

Johnny Pierogi is f***ing useless, just go with 7 d especially if Fox and Trouba are banged up.

Machinehead is right though we have blown the doors off Carolina in alsmost every third period and into OT. They run out of gas

And granted, there's a lot of reasons for that, but playing less guys seems to be bad right now.

This, I would be open to.

Jones and Gus are both LHD and Lindgren is a guy that gets out of gas.

You could split their time, save their energy, and move them up if the game gets into overtime.

Lavi always keeps the gears turning that's what I like about him. He's got his own lineup plans and we're all just along for the ride. Chytil or no Chytil, Rempe or no Rempe, this team needs to play their game and get a win regardless of who comes in and who comes out. I already miss Chytil like you wouldn't believe again though..

The Don Sweeney presser this morning turned out to be a nothingburger, so their board is mad as hell.

LMAO did they think somebody was getting fired before the series is over?

I see Wheeler as a potential upgrade over Brod/Rempe but no one else in our current forward allotment.

So if Chytil is ever good to go, I wouldn't really have a use for him besides good locker room vibes. But there are always injuries and other complications.

I think Wheeler could play that reduced checking role if needed, but only if its for Brodz/Rempe. Im not taking out Vesey or Cuylle for him.

As far as Chytil goes, I have him in the lineup if hes good to go.

This team needs 9 more wins and hes one of the best 5 on 5 finishers on the team.

we are 11-11 all time in game 5's at MSG. let's right the ship and end these bastards.

 

[Leonardo87]

This place is Macho Madness and there's still 7 hours to go.

 

[Machinehead]

Let Lavi cook. It's not AV.

I'm still mad about AV playing the 11-6 in a game 7. Just had a whole ass player on the bench play 0:00.

And before somebody yells at me, I remember what happened. I don't care. Make the f***ing decision, Alain.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Bounce back performance from our top 6 (sans Laf who was apparently awesome) would go a long way today.

Can't imagine the big 3 were very happy with their performance in g4. It's all good, they had carried the load the previous 3 but it's time to get back to it.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Carolina's tired.

It's game 10 of their postseason tonight and they're already cooked. By the third period we're just going right past them.

They play every single game, all regular season long, like it's Kings vs Ducks in 2014.

If we win, that'll be one of the reasons why.

It's important to have energy.

I always scoff at the "short series" thing because like, yeah, we should have won some more games, scintillating advice. Meanwhile, having 18 skaters is something you have complete control over.

I felt that after Lafs goal in game 4, not only did the crowd die, but also the Canes legs. They were ripe for picking until Lindgren took that penalty.

Keep it tight, keep it close, or open up a lead... Scoring 3 tonight will get you a win or a shot in OT. Scoring 4 will win the series.

It would behoove the Rangers to score first tonight

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Trouba forgot about Mother's Day, so he'll get one tonight as a belated gift to his mom, god bless her and her bodychecked soul.

According to my sources, there may have been an elbow on the day he was born during delivery.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

BAH-GAWD!! thats Wheeler's music!!

oh and Pesce is inching his way closer to returning to the Carolina line-up. put this one away tonight because they're gonna try inserting him next game for some heroics.

 

[romba]

Check out this cut and isolate of Trouba on Carolina's first goal in game 4

Igor's been stellar, but seemed to have trouble trouble with slappers from the blue line (game winnner+DeAngelo hit the post on one), hope he tightens that up.

Gosh I hope you're right, because they don't look tired.

Did you see Brady Skjei in the postgame? Looked like he just finished chasing around his third grandchild.

Where's the attempted elbow after the puck was already in the net?

Two Mark Messiers!! That's a good sign!

That's Brady Skjei. I want the forwards to be tired so as not to be continually on our ass all night.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Also the “4 minute” argument is lazy and disingenuous.

not really. The coach won't play him. That's a problem

Is this in reference to Hunwick playing 4:17 against Tampa in 2015?

As long as they break their pattern and come out firing on all cylinders in the first, we'll be just fine. Carolina blows their load in the firsts.
