Kravtsov's long term role in the NHL is likely as a 4th liner so it makes sense to get him some experience there.

he seems more like the kind to be top 6 or nothing. He's weak and not intense enough for bottom 6 and has more skill than your typical 4th liner

Who’s 70? Can’t we just use names?

Def Leopard does kind of suck tbh

Pyromaniacs a good album

I’d like to have players in the top 6 with at least a modicum of offensive production/skills. That ain’t him.

Who the hell is Harpur?

Kravtsov should have been scratched. Useless on the 4th line especially when he wont get any PP time

Looks like Kravtsov was a throw in to deflect from the eye-sore that is Goodrow on the 1st line.

 

[CasusBelli]

You better win this one for the kids. Seriously. Losing on Veterans night or Garden of Dreams night is inexcusable.

Gallant Pre-Game:

I really don't like him.

One day Schneider will have a partner that isnt the abyss.

Hasn't stopped em from losing in the past on these nights.

Who the hell is Harpur?

A Canadian biblical scholar. Died in 2017.

 

[CasusBelli]

Hasn't stopped em from losing in the past on these nights.

Doesn’t make it any less embarrassing though.

I really don't like him.

I like him but only because he looks like Jack Terricloth

 

[huerter]

I can guarantee that panarin and zip prefer playing with the nhler. Jesper fast ain’t walking through that door.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Garden of dreams night = auto L

 

[Megustaelhockey]

What's John Brancy up to? Let's offer him a full contract.

 

[will1066]

They scratched Hajek because he's gonna work the phones and sign a game stick for Garden of Dreams

Liberty jerseys

 

[Crease]

The lack of John Brancy this season is glaring.

 

[huerter]

Who the hell is Harpur?

Our best chance at beating Ottawa in ‘17.

Toronto is on fire. Gonna be a tough one.

Win or lose I'd like to see the Rangers take a patient approach to their defense. Team defense, hard backcheck. Focus on managing the puck properly, especially in the D zone, firm outlets, puck support. They need to cut down on the giveaways. Like A LOT. You do that shit against this team and theyll put up 6, even with Igor in the pipes.

So even if they lose they can take that into the next two games that they should and need to win. They need to approach this as a three game set and stick with the game plan. Continue the good vibes, but they are gonna have to bear down tonight and increase the focus level even more.

This. I want the rangers to actually play defense for 60 mins. Take whatever offense comes. This team’s problem is discipline. I’m sure GG tells them this but they can’t control themselves.
