Do we have to?

 

[Circus86]

Can't wait for our offence to struggle against Jack Johnson and Jarred Tinordi.

 

[leetch99]

Look on the bright side.....we are only two players away from being a Cup favorite .....the down side....Roenick and Chelios in their prime .

 

[Crease]

Rangers continue to look like a team bored of early season hockey. They went on a deep run last year, know how brutal the playoffs are, and are conserving themselves. Right now they are 2/3 points out of the playoff picture. So long as they stay within striking distance of the playoffs, I think they will be fine and naturally pick things up after New Years and the trading deadline. Like it or not, there is a human element in this.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Twitter Rangers fans will get to see Kane up close and come to the logical conclusion he won't solve our problems...right?

 

[RagFinMet]

Cant wait to see how trouba screws this one up

Have fun at Stout, y'all. Sorry I can't be there.

Swap Panarin for Kane while he's in town?

 

[huerter]

Big "we dont want you" vibes for tonights game except it's true. We don't want you, we need you, Tyler Johnson.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Can't wait to hear Joe say how we play zone defense and then watch our guys chase everyone around in the D zone

Have to get 2 here, no ways around it

 

[will1066]

Yeah, but expect big time games from Greg Gilbert and Steve Larmer before we bring them over.

Tinordi's out of commission with an injury so he won't be in the lineup. At least last time I checked

 

[LeetchisGod]

Is this team worthy of a watch party at this point?

If there is alcohol available then it’s watchable.

Have fun at Stout fellas I would’ve come but we have a huge home for the holidays thing going on in town. Then a house party. I’m gonna Dvr this one

I want to see a pissed off hockey team go out and take two points on their terms in a solid 60 min effort

That’s what I want to see

Hope you are right. Something is amiss.

Bread 21 points in first 15 games
The last 10 only 5

 

[TUQ]

Hopefuly our recent points and assists leader, Ryan bleeping Lingren, continues to carry this team.

This team ....

Someone did this to trouba this year

 

[Irishguy42]

Blackhawks have lost 8 in a row?

Slam that Chicago moneyline.

This Rangers team has been playing well but there is a funk to them that is hindering their finishing ability and their goaltending has been average at best.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Marc Staal has better posession metrics than Trouba, on both: ES and PK. This is a parallel universe lol.

 

[will1066]

So Dest is Team USA's version of Panarin

My lord no defense at all no matter the sport I watch

This was oddly inspiring. I’m going to run with this.

Krav hatty to silence all his HF critics at their bar meetup

 

[Daves a mess]

Johnny B and Big Ben called up.
One Ranger forward possibly can't go.
Kravy get a hernia washing his hair?
Zac to the Pack. Saves some cap space.
