Vesey or Blais need to sit. Think they should split a fourth line wing spot. Let Blais get into shape but don't play him every game. He and vesey are similar players at the moment too.

Vesey PKs. Blais hits hard. That’s why they both play and aren’t nec carbon copies. If just judging offensive impact they likely seem far more interchangeable. But their roles on team are different enough to be meaningful to Gallant. And they both play roles that help overall team in more subtle ways. Sadly the team has waived most of its physical players. And they’ve done a very very poor job developing more PK options upfront.

You're probably right about gallants thinking but I hope they come up with some non-Vesey pk options Soon. They should have practices before NJ and before Toronto. I really liked the Mika-Kreider pk setup too.
 
Colorado is banged up. Lets do this!

This game could get interesting.

I took a buddy to a Rangers game way back when. he said, "There are more Rangers fans here than Avalanche fans!"

Times have changed. I think Gaborik got a hat trick that day.

He is back in Connecticut and I am taking another buddy to the game tonight.

I expect a big game from the Rangers tonight.

Rydahl (when healthy) and Karl Henriksson have been doing a good job on Hartford’s #1 PK for most of the season.
Rydahl is an NHL player IMHO.

Prediction time. Rangers up 12-0 with 5 minutes to go. PP2 goes out to start. They lose a face off, puck is cleared, and PP1 comes in for the remaining 1:55.

Laf doesn’t see the ice again as Goodrow saves the day on defense, only being responsible for blowing Igor’s shutout with 6 seconds to go.
Funny and true.
 
Roy, Hejduk and Tanguay are all out with nagging injuries. This is really fortunate for us, and we have to take advantage.

Avalanche injuries.

This better be a Ranger's rout against the Colorado Eagles.

I can't see why Kakko and Laf don't get more PK time. Put them out there together.

If I'm them, I'd be doing extra work after practice and in the film room to learn the PK and show Gallant that they deserve a chance there. They aren't going to get more PP time any time soon, so push for minutes in other areas of the game.

That's one of the roughest injury lists I've ever seen.

Reminds me of when we had to use Marek Hrivik in top top 9.
 
Phone battery at 21%. It's also a sign.

Edit: nope. 20%. Thank God
