GDT: Game 14: New York Rangers vs Winnipeg Jets

[McRanger92]

As a matter of fact, the Jets are only +9 at 5v5.

They're probably a solid team but this start is Sequencing Error, the musical.

Don't the jets do this every year? Come out like gangbusters and by January they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the Central and cruising to a 1st round exit.

 

[Number 9]

Hoping they take out Lindgren and put in Mancini for this one.

How is Namestinkov a second line center on a 14-1 team? That lineup doesn't scream 14-1 to me. They may beat us but they have been vastly overachieving.

He is greeted now with Nameste.

Has twice as many goals and same amount of points as our first line center

I mean Zib is only our first line center by name only. Maybe it's the same with Nemestnikov, I don't know. And he's probably playing over his head. Not one person thinks even with his underwhelming play the last two years that Nemestnikov is better than Mika.

Yeah but usually Hellebuyck is a simple explanation. This is weird even for them.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Boys, lets get a grip here. We got Zibs playin so bad Lavi wakes up screaming in a cold sweat in the middle of the night lately. We got Trouba the penalty machine just getting warmed up. Against the mighty 1st place 9-1 W6 Jets who eat little pansy Rangers for breakfast. If we win tonight - we're back!! Lets get it on like donkey kong and back it up like a tonka truck. Lets DO IT!!

If Namestinkov scores a goal on Igor we are going to need to contain @SnowblindNYR

Just realized he has the word “Stink” in his name lol .

I just doomed us all and he is absolutely scoring tonight, so put those bets in, remember I get 20%

Stink is not in his name unless you change his name. His name is Nemestnikov.

 

[Leonardo87]

Stink is not in his name unless you change his name. His name is Nemestnikov.

Just switch the n and i and you are set lol .

The beginning is spelled Names not Nemes

That actually makes sense knowing how it's pronounced in Russian, lol.

Jets have the best PP in the league and the best offense. Gotta think that doesn’t last

Nothing against the kid. He came here when the Rangers were entering their rebuild/retool whatever you want to call it. So didn’t find success here.

 

[Machinehead]

Namestnikov was fine

 

[EdJovanovski]

He did look electric in what IIRC was his first game as a Ranger. Right after the deadline they came to Vancouver and I was at the game, he scored a goal on a breakaway and looked like Bure flying around out there. He's a great complimentary player with stars, was amazing on that line with Stamkos & Kucherov. But he's also really good defensively. I think he's a great Swiss army knife kind of player that you can plug in anywhere, Vesey is basically a homeless mans Namestnikov

 

[TGWL]

Rangers are 9-0 when scoring first. I just wanted to beat Sam with that one for when we score first and he jinxes it.

 

[Atax]

Incoming Joe/Sam tonight calling Lindgren a warrior and how tough its coming back from his injury 100 times.
On a separate note, I'm getting a bit tired of Fox looking out of shape and terrible.

Wouldn't be surprised if we win like 6-1 tbh.

 

[Harbour Dog]

If Lavi was lactose intolerant, he'd chug a carton of milk every morning.

 

[Hire Sather]

I'll be shocked if they don't win tonight lol

 

[Row I Goon]

11am down under. Gonna be a test.

 

[Fitzy]

I don't mean to get philosophical here, but does Lindgren ever really play?

I mean I guess he “works” 17-20 minutes a game

In all seriousness if these are his last two seasons here I hope we remember him for the better ones

 

[mike14]

Interesting to see whether we continue the recent trend or respond and play up to a better team.
Mika, CK, Tro and Laf need to pull their heads out of their asses after some lackluster play of late (and longer, for some). So does the 'top-4' D-men

 

[will1066]

Everyone thinks it's a win later despite being outplayed. I think it's gonna be a straight up butt paddling administered by the Jets.
