GDT: Game # 31 Rangers vs Buffalo - 7pm EST - MSG

[DialUp]

Huh? What was that while they were walking off, Buch acting all weird, Krieder shaking his head. They shouldn't count their chickens and start clowning just yet!

 

[Kovalev27]

Miller’s been great people are forgetting this kid is playing his first pro hockey and is getting 20 plus mins a night against the best of the best.

[FireGerardGallant]

Alright gimmie an Alexis goal in the 2 minuets he plays in the 3rd and well be gucci

 

[effen]

They were doing literal wrestling in the 80's and games were ending 10-7

standup goalies, drastically smaller pads on them, players were a lot smaller, obstruction wasn't a way of life. lot of stuff but i firmly believe it was the lack of punishment ~ever for intereference

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

They were doing literal wrestling in the 80's and games were ending 10-7

and it was far superior

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oh how I would love to hear what Butch and Laf where talking there.

In general I need more Buch soundbites.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Came out asleep in the 2nd, got scored on, took the game over.

It's the Sabres, but they would have continued to coast a few weeks ago.

Bag 2 more in the 3rd.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Glad that they finally went back to 10-16-24. When Kravtsov gets here fully, I want to see this lineup:

Laf-Mika-Buch
Panarin-Strome-Kakko
Kreider-Chytil-Kravtsov
Howden-Rooney-Blackwell

No chance they break up Kreider-Mika-Buch. Those guys know where the other is at all times. Just don't see the need to do that.

Blackwell has played himself out of the lineup. Gauthier or Lemieux on that 4th line; actually Gauthier and Lemieux with Rooney.

 

[Chytilmania]

I HATE that Volvo commercial. I see it at least 3x per game.

 

[Joe Ranger Fan 1960]

"Every morning at half past four..."

 

[RickChartraw]

Keep Kakko on that line. Please. Get him feeling good about his offensive game.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Buffalo is as checked out as can be. The Rangers would have to beat themselves tonight. Unfortunately, no one can beat the Rangers quite like the Rangers. So we shall see!

 

[Leonardo87]

So glad I downloaded some new Fox gifs for tonight. Damn what a goal!

 

[Chytilmania]

Needs a dislike button.

I blame the Devils

 

[bl02]

MAN SHOOT THE PUCK IN THE SLOT. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

The finally did and scored

 

[bbny]

Atta boy, Laf. Stop thinking about literally anything David Quinn has told you and just do you.

Quinn walkie-talkied down to the bench to tell Lafreniere to knock it off and dump the puck.

 

[Cmox]

I would love to see Valley dress , lol

 

[EdJovanovski]

Buch the goat

 

[Kane One]

Could Valiquette ever come in as an emergency goalie or would him getting to the locker room and changing out of his suit take too much time?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Heck of a goal

last three games Mika is starting to get all on his one timers that’s a big time sign he’s feeling it

Blackwell is the worst player on the ice right now

Think its clear now Mika had a bad case of the Yips and needed something to get him going again

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Guys which players would you say were made obsolete and extinguished by the lockout? I'm thinking DPE players that couldnt skate like Darian Hatcher and Alex Daze who literally fell off a cliff the moment the redline was taken away.

 

[DudMan28]

Think its clear now Mika had a bad case of the Yips and needed something to get him going again

He's made so many slick moves tonight that he wouldn't have even thought of a few weeks ago

 

[Mac n Gs]

No chance they break up Kreider-Mika-Buch. Those guys know where the other is at all times. Just don't see the need to do that.

You're probably right, but my reasoning is that Mika is seemingly back, and I actually liked how Laf and Buch looked together in that combo. With how Kreider's been playing lately, I think it'll help take pressure off Chytil and Kravtsov to give them someone else that can carry the load on that line and drive play. I like it overall from a balance perspective and having the ability to roll 3 scoring lines
