GDT: Game 31 - New York Rangers vs Toronto Maple Leafs - 7pm EST, MSG

I hope Gaut or Blais are scratched and not Brodz

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

O'Keefe sounds better

And it’s better than Oh, Gallant.
Which I say about 20 times per game.

It’s the end of year 2022, and the Rangers are willingly playing Ben Harpur.

You can't spell Ben Harpur without Ben Hur.

Yes and then they also beat one of the best teams ever more or less without breaking a sweat.

TB was a very good team last season, but certainly not one of the best teams ever. The primary reason they got by Toronto, a team you don't have much respect for, in the 1st round, was their goaltender's performance in Game 7.

 

[CasusBelli]

Remember when Bryan McCabe and Bryan Berard both started with the Isles? Then Berard spent time with the Leafs and left before McCabe joined them. Then Berard spent one season with us in 2001-02 and then McCabe did the same in 2010-11.

Wow that takes me back. Quinn crying hysterically over Bernard’s terrible eye injury. Reminded me of Don Corleone “look what they did to my boy!”

Good for Kravtsov, Gallant awarding him with an opportunity to play tonight.

 

[Kords]

Kravy was the extra skater just yesterday. Sounds like some managerial intervention but what do I know. Hope the kid doesn't do anything stupid to prove GG right if thats the case. The game is gonna be a tough win at best and an absolute stomping at worst so as long as he doesn't turn the puck over too bad or take a bad penalty he should survive I guess.

Hope it's a good one

LGR!

I'd sit Blais first, but I don't see Gauthier being scratched

 

[Filip Chytil]

Good for Kravtsov, Gallant awarding him with an opportunity to play tonight.

Lord Gerard giveth and taketh away

 

[Kords]

He did a smart!

Greatest film of the 21st century, hands down

Pretty tough to get a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was just a movie you loved. Great, it wasn't.

I've loved some similar non-great films like Used Cars, but I realize that it's not an all-time great.

 

[cheech70]

He did a smart!

meritocracy a beautiful thing

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

The Buchnevich trade looks better and better. Meanwhile, I can't wait for Blais to be the modern-day McIlrath and defend him to the death that it was actually the injury and not that he actually just flat-out sucks.

He did a smart!

About time

 

[Ruggs225]

He did a smart!

But now he will just dress 11 f and 5 dmen instead. He wasnt planning on replacing them.

 

[Atax]

Kravtsov hat trick tonight. Rangers win 3-1.

Gallant scratches Kravtsov next game because he was not impressed with any of his goal celebrations.

He's probably going to bench him after a Panarin turnover that leads to a goal.

 

[Kords]

4th line, lmao. Okay, he almost did a smart!

 

[Filip Chytil]

4th line, lmao. Okay, he almost did a smart!

Kravtsov will have to do a lot with the 9 minutes of ice time he'll see tonight

 

[UnSandvich]

You're SO close Gerard. SO CLOSE.

I think VK is gonna be in net and Igor on wing....we all know Igor loves shooting the puck.

Kravy was the extra skater just yesterday. Sounds like some managerial intervention but what do I know. Hope the kid doesn't do anything stupid to prove GG right if thats the case. The game is gonna be a tough win at best and an absolute stomping at worst so as long as he doesn't turn the puck over too bad or take a bad penalty he should survive I guess.

LGR!

I think only because someone else is too sick to play.

 

[Crease]

Blais scratched. Should have been weeks ago but at least the coaching staff sees it.

 

[Fitzy]

Harpur is... not good

 

[Ruggs225]

Maybe blais got the shits

 

[Synergy27]

Very happy to see Blais stapled to the bench. He is either not fully back from his injury or the injury has ended his career. He is a useless player that does nothing but take up space right now. Getting Kravtsov TOI is critical and I’ll take it one whatever line I can get it right now.

I’ll reserve any comment on Harpur after seeing him play. Hajek has been ok for me. Bottom pairing ok.
