Can we please make Vanecek eat shit?!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This game has the makings of a blow out for Washington.

Expect big time games from Glen Metropolit, Steve Konowalchuk, and Dmitri Kristich

Did you change your Quinn avatar? It looks angrier lol.

[leetch99]

Will Kreider be sat out two games in a row ?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Knobby did well in his stint, sucks he dosen’t get credit for any of those games

Let’s see if these guys play as well with Quinn behind the bench lol

 

[RangersFan1994]

can't wait to see Dillon and Wilson run at Lafy Kakko and the other players with only Smith doing something about it. why does the Rangers organization think that no grit or toughness will help this tesm? I hope this tesm gets beat up today, Rangers must be close to a move to bring in some grit and size with a future. this soft team will be an issue

If they really want to do some damage, they should run at better players.

But having big tall muscle men isn't going to stop them from doing that, if that's what they want to do.

We have a couple weeks to go...lets look at any of the kids that we "think" have a chance. Toughness and the composition of the 4th line is on the to do list for next year.

Adam Edström at eliteprospects.com I hope this dude makes it to the big club...absolute beast

 

[Profet]

Any possibility of Kravtsov playing today?

 

[Sayba]

Garnet Hathaway makes the same amount as Lemieux and plays on their 4th line. Is he better than Lemieux? Washington has players all over their lineup that will hit you oh and they're tied for 1st place. It's not because of that but to say it's not a factor is not true.

Yes lol but might change it to the annual white flag soon

 

[Tob]

We're gonna keep Quinn and add Knobby this off season, aren't we?

 

[Vitto79]

Kinkaid in goal ? Just trade Georgiev if he’s not in the plans

PDG for Lemieux not a surprise. Quinn will say he waves to see Kravtsov in practice. I bet he’s in next week Vs Buffalo

You mean like yesterday?

 

[Daves a mess]

Need the kid line to not ghost this game.

 

[Daves a mess]

DiLinguini in. Kratsoff.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Starting Kinkaid, another great development decision from the development coach.

Obviously Georgiev has been ass but are we not going to help him work out of it? Is it really more important to give Keith Kinkaid another start than to get Georgiev back on track?

 

[Mike in Houston]

I imagine we'll see VK on Thursday against the Sabres. Makes the most sense to me.

I guess they trust him more to win ?

He's earned it too.

If only Lemieux were here to fight OV and score a hat trick.
