GDT: Game # 40 - Rangers @ Islanders - 7pm - MSG+, MSG 2

[LokiDog]

Little known fact: Bruce Jenner was a regular on CHiPs.

Littler known fact, Boone Jenner was his secret daughter, originally Bonnie Jenner before deciding to pursue a career in hockey.

They just don't have the 60-minute discipline in them.

No sir.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Did not know that!

A girl I went to college with married Randolph Mantooth - he told me all about it when I met him at a party.

Matt Martin being very diplomatic

Even littler known fact: CHIPs was government propaganda to get the general public on board with the idea of EMT's. Prior to that, ambulance drivers were glorified cabbies - legally they weren't even allowed to give you an aspirin.

EDIT Nvm - I'm thinking of Emergency

I was about to say - motorcycle ambulances?

 

[SRHRangers]

We getting stuck with Giannone with the 150 since the Knicks are on?

Mother Scumbag!

Those 2 shows were on back to back - my mistake.

I have a weird feeling the dude that tricked out his basement pronounces most of the player's names wrong.

 

[Rangers in 7]

These man caves are outrageous. My wife would laugh in my face

I wonder if MTL would move Kotkaniemi with Suzuki blossoming. Kotkaniemi could be a ROR like player in a couple years.

Believe it or not lately it's been the other way around. Suzuki has really come down to earth while Kotkaniemi has been more visible. If MB ever screwed up a trade giving away Kotkaniemi Montreal would hang him in effigy.
I doubt they move him unless the return was very unique

Just let her get a she shed.

 

[SRHRangers]

Bernier's torso was in the 9th row after that move by Arvidsson.

 

[bl02]

Our first line looks like our worst line right now. Buch is the only who even looks close to being on his game.
Doesn't Zibby usually play well against this team?

 

[duhmetreE]

Man the Blackhawks have such beautiful Uni's... don't know how I feel abou those

 

[Cmox]

Hawk almost died doing that!

 

[will1066]

I'm still convinced Duncan Keith came up with the 1997 pop hit Barely Breathing.

Can’t wait to have one when I’m older and own a home

 

[NYR94]

That's pretty impressive catching that wearing a mascot uniform

 

[LokiDog]

We have way too many 'softy' finesse players. Our top9 is littered with finesse playmakers. We're Disney on Ice. We need a better balance.

Yes, we like our talent but we need more pitbulls. This team will not win with this current forward group

That is the problem.

Mika when he’s on is elite. Panarin is a cornerstone. Kakko could be a beast but he is totally non physical. Lafreniere will hit a bit but he’s not what you’re talking about. Maybe he’ll grow into a more aggressive puck hound but I don’t know. Buch is feisty but not really imposing and everyone loves how he’s developed into a two way player and doesn’t wanna move him. Strome is producing like a mofo but is inadequate in every other area of the game (IMO). Kravtsov I haven’t seen enough of, but I doubt he’s the answer to our forecheck and balance issues, more of a skill player. Chytil again could be a beast physically but also doesn’t like to play physical at all. Kreider obviously has the exact toolset we’d want but he just doesn’t use it. Which one is anyone willing to give up on in order to achieve the balance that, honestly, we do need in order to compete in the post season? I have my opinions, but there won’t be a consensus. And there’s nothing wrong with any of these players. It’s the mix. To take the next step, we need elements that we don’t have even though we have a “full” top nine. I’ve made long off season posts about this before.

No one wants to give up any of “our” guys because they’re all good. But we have too many vegan options on the menu and not enough meat. At some point you have to take some good dishes off the menu, even though you love them, in order to balance it out.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'd like to switch Kravtsov and Lafreniere. Or even better Kreider.

 

[MetalJaws]

I wanna take a second and thank you guys for getting me through all these games this year. My wife is amazing but couldn't care less and my good friends are all Sabres fans and gave up on life, I mean hockey lol. It's nice to have an outlet. Go Rangers.

Some if not most of those commercials are so cringe worthy. The dude who shows pictures to his newborn son and names the players by name. I'm sure your 3 month old will remember, smh.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

My Dad mispronounces Kakko as Koko and then I think of this guy:

 

[ABCUser]

Mika will not just be on recent bloopers but just might make an all-time list. That was horrible!!!
