Since you did the GDT, @will1066 , I'll save you the trouble...

Expect big games from Stan Mikita, Al Secord & Tony Esposito.

No Michel Goulet?

 

[Peltz]

Are we approaching "must win" territory yet? Feels like it.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Some more juicy stats. Look at tonite’s opposing goalie’s career numbers - if these chucklefks don’t put up a snowman tonite this season is ovah !!!

 

[Boris Zubov]

No Michel Goulet?

We're limited to three. You made the rules.

Incoming Bedard hat trick

 

[McRanger92]

I expect a similar game to yesterday but Igor makes more saves and we win. A loss dials the heat up again on the team and Drury

Incoming Berard hat trick

Fixed.

They started playing really well when Panarin punched Laffy after he scored.

If this team doesn't come out with shiners, busted lips, crooked noses, and missing teeth, then there's no point in watching this game.

This team could probably use a practice fight. Cuylle has been trying to get the team going in every game recently, but no one will join him in the fight. Trouba used to torture this Chicago team with hits and they are playing poorly. Im sure they remember and want a pound of flesh. Rangers need to match the intensity, and exceed how they been playing, or else theyll be run off the ice again.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Must win for a lot of guys on this team

whos gonna throw their helmet tonight?

Zibanejad is going to gently place his on the ice and then quietly say his thoughts between Ummm, ahhhh's, and mmmmm's.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Is Igor back from hospital already?!!!

 

[94leetch]

Yesterday's game was putrid.
Tonight needs to be better or no one gets Christmas presents this year.
Seriously.

 

[Fitzy]

Getting a lot harder to actively look forward to these games. Maybe we're spoiled, but at least when you're rebuilding you have a long term perspective heading into any contest. Right now it's just grey rainy weather

His son is in net.

I enjoy the turmoil around the team. It turns the heat up on guys who have coasted for to long. I look forward to the games to see who responds. And more trades have to be coming.

The league is so mediocre and has been for years, the Rangers can play .500 hockey from now until the trade deadline and still be very much in it for the playoffs. Igor has to lead them tonight and hopefully they can finally sack up.

Remember that Blackhawks game where the refs gave them like 5 5 on 3s?

That has 42 sv game and some arbitrary goalie record broken written all over it.
Let's go with "most saves in a period by a Blackhawk goalie"
