GDT: Game 15: New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils, 7pm ET, MSG2

[Megustaelhockey]

It has been so long since Rangers hockey. I don't know what to do with my hands.

I mean... if you haven't gone blind by now, I think you'll be ok.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Our boys need to take off the tuxedos and lay some body on the Hughes brothers.
Finish your checks Kakko, for god sake, Your Finnish! It’s in the name!

 

[mkatcherin00]

Hey boys. Is Shesterkin starting tonight? Or he is still out?

 

[will1066]

Conjuring @Ginger Papa. Make it rain.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Excited to see how Lavi has us setup. I'd be willing to bet the house we're gonna be playing differently than we ended last year.

Hope the boys come out fired up here, revenge game LFG

 

[Breaded Fox]

Quick! somebody marinate Zibs' tofu in bacon grease!

 

[Ben Grimm]

Go NYR!

Remember when the Rangers opened the season with 2 games in 20 days? I think it was back in 2019.
This year, the Rangers have the honor of 8 games in 12 days in March which include the Pens, Bruins, TBL and a back to back against NJD and CAR. That back to back is one of 12!

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Hischier being out helps, but Zib has been a total dud all season and i doubt the week off helped him at all, since he's a guy who needs to build up momentum.


EVERYTHING is stacked against them.

Still no Fox.

Long break which always kills us.

Devils on the road.

Jack Hughes in the lineup.

If the Rongos win this game i'll be a true believer that this team is different.

Where did you hear/see Jack is in the lineup tonight?

News earlier was Devils "hope" to have him back in the line-up for this game.

The New Jersey Devils may have their star center back in the lineup on Saturday night. Jack Hughes returned to practice with his teammates for the first time in two weeks. Hughes's availability will depend on how he is feeling after Friday's practice and a morning skate, leaving him a game-time decision.

Still a game-time decision AFAIK, but don't be surprised to see him flying around against us.

I can see how this is getting NJD fans heated and in a trolling mood. Understandable and valid.

Another way to look at this quote is perhaps Igor basically is thinking nothing special about this November regular season unless it was against the actual Cup winner; as in it's just an early game in the schedule, where standings don't mean much right now (despite what pundits say about American Thanksgiving)

If you think I didn't have this game locked with a parlay of Hughes Anytime Goal and NJD regulation win, then call me insane

I had that bet locked in a week ago

Didn’t Jack Hughes pretty much admit that over the summer? At least as an “excuse” as to why they got dominated by Carolina, because they already won their cup in round 1?

I've seen this floated about here and on twitter, but I don't recall the interview? I don't know it was Jack or some other player that said that they got too emotional in R1, which led to not enough focus in R2 vs Canes.

But I've never seen the interview.

It makes sense tho, putting all your energy into beating your rivals and then you're emotionally exhausted and perhaps physically exhausted for the next round, especially after the decade of being irrelevancy until then.

It would be nice if we could find a bit of Tikkanen in Kakko . H e was a heck of a player and also had THREE stints with the Rangers . Probably never happen....but one can hope !

I don’t know, I’m sure if Drury offers Tikkanen enough money, he’d come back.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Laf 2 goals tonight and 3 packs of Trident bubble gum chewed.

He was a treat in his prime in Edmonton . Haha..... even a Nemchinov type clone would be a nice add . Those guys were just real professionals.....came to work and did the jobs asked of them every game .

 

[Machinehead]

We always look like shit against this team.

Despite the injuries to both sides, it would be encouraging to not.

 

[leetch99]

Laf 2 goals tonight and 3 packs of Trident bubble gum chewed.

If he has a solid game overall......I will be happy as I would consider that as continued improvement .

 

[duhmetreE]

It's so unfortunate that Bread and Laffy were cooking and we had a week off

 

[duhmetreE]

Quick! somebody marinate Zibs' tofu in bacon grease!

hopefully this break helps him. He really just needs to use his wrist shot a lot more and put away the midtimer for a bit

Other than being from the same country the two guys couldn’t be more opposite

 

[Flan the incredible]

Welcome back Jack, just in time for the Trouba train to come through!

I never want to see anyone get hurt but could you imagine if it was Laf who knocked the little guy out......oof Dev fans would.lose their minds.

Physical hockey isn't ever going to agree with Jack.
