GDT: Game 13: New York Rangers vs Minnesota Wild, 7pm ET, MSG

[egelband]

With the new style we play and the sneaking suspicion that Ramsey was letting guys play hurt more than he should have, I expect us to have some injuries to work thru but it gives guys more opportunities they wouldn’t have.

I am not as concerned especially with the bit of cushion we built ourselves and how early it is in the season.

Maybe less games for fox this year will be a good thing frankly.

Very good point about giving guys opportunities. Keeping the new blood circulating has to be good. Though maybe chemistry takes a hit at first, once the guys get rolling it shouldn’t be too much of a shock to the system. I love it.

 

[ArPanet]

Think you're the only one who noticed this.

Last season I was curious now I'm obsessed.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not for nothing but Lav-O was extremely complimentary on both guys in yesterday’s post-practice presser. Had to pinch myself.

They played better and we won a mostly non-competitive game. Killing them wouldn't be productive.

Most people are right handed, therefor throwing right handed and catching lefthanded. So that’s what goalies do. I’ve seen guys (not high level) needing to turn the stick around to shoot righty.


Like in baseball? OBP+Slg = OPS

Yes, that's correct.

 

[egelband]

Why can't they take the total number of chances and divide by total number of successful outcomes in both shooting and saving, as a relevant metric? It's not that hard?

Special Teams Success Rate? I like it.

He's talking a lot now. Why?

New series, book, stand up tour, podcast.

I think both Darren Pang and Manny Legace did that as well

 

[LORDE]

No, you're wrong! It's Mackenzie Skapski!!

Its... Its...

BOB FROESE!!!!

 

[LORDE]

Speaking of Laf, I'll be at SeaWorld anywhere I can catch this one?

Miller's Ale House is right there... they usually have the games

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

EZ win incoming

 

[GAGLine]

EZ win incoming

For whom?

A coach that wants any respect and trust from his players never kills them in the media. Maybe in the locker room, but not in the media.

Calling first fighting major of the year from either Goodrow or Trouba.

I love quirks in history where teams were loaded with exceptional goalies (albeit often not all in their prime) at the same time. Rangers having Beezer, Richter, and Froese - all Vezina finalists during their careers - on the roster in the 89 playoffs is so cool. Similarly, the mid-90s caps had Kolzig, Carey, and Dafoe at the same time.

We usually wait for our Australian fans to wake up and join before talking about anything serious.

We do bring some much needed gravitas to these parts...

Jim Carey blowing up at the same time as Jim Carrey will always stick with me.

If I remember correctly the hockey Jim Carey fell off the map because he didn't actually like playing the game? Dude killed it for 2 years and then disappeared. Those are the quirks that get me

Not expecting much from this game with a 3rd stringer, but hoping for the best.

Side bar here, save total for spicy pork on DK is 27.5 for him. Under seems solid as we haven't given up much with Levi and I would think he either implodes or we play even more conservative.

What I will be paying attention to is the pace Laf plays with tonight. Did he turn a corner or was he trying to impress Jackie Redmond?

tbf I don't think we want to play that game against Minnesotra.

Take it to them like we did the first 10 minutes, last game. Score 10 goals

 

[Kodiak]

No it isn't. It's OBP + Slugging. Not (TB + BB + HBP) / PA.

I think you’re looking for Runs Created.

Not sure if anyone asked yet, but it comes up every year. The red poppy on Sam's lapel is for Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day in recognition of veterans' contributions in past wars. The US is seemingly the only English-speaking country that doesn't do the flower.

 

[Svenhart2008]

This could be interesting….

 

[will1066]

LMAO Sam

yes, they were so unimpressed by Domingue against them, that they signed him to a 2-year contract

 

[nevesis]

Beat this trash team.

I don't think I realised that you guys don't do the poppy. Is that because 'Veteran's Day' was designed to be broader in scope, where as Remembrance Day is (or at least was) WW1 focused?
