We play in 5 hour why no thread????

HFNYR Signs EdJovo as EBUTS

NEW YORK--The New York Rangers forum of HF Boards (HFNYR) signed EdJovanovski to be its emergency back-up game-day thread starter. After inking the one-day contract, EdJovo filled in for Loffen and backup thread starter Leonardo87 after both became unavailable.

HFNYR had approximately five hours remaining before puck drop to have a GDT posted for the Rangers-Panthers contest at 7 p.m. Eastern. EdJovo quickly stepped in as the EBUTS. "We play in five hours. Why no thread," he said. "Can't take any chances around here."

EdJovo did not provide any lineups or game-day information when he started the thread.

EdJovo remains in a fight with Machinehead over starting post-game threads.

Yeah sorry about that. I had an Endoscopy today, still feeling tired from the sedation. I’ve been dealing with severe Acid Reflux the past month. Everything is ok, well not ok. I just have to change my eating and drinking habits around to prevent issues down the road. Which means less Pizza, fried stuff, Coffee and Alcohol. Yeah I’m depressed now. Sucks, I am not even 40 yo yet.

Sorry to hear. This is definitely doable. You don't even need to give them up entirely.
 
Rangers limping into the break, Panthers firing on all cylinders. What could go wrong!

Igor saves 40 and the Rangers win 4-2, a fitting end to the first half.

I think the Rangers are performing better than what was expected and thus, it's accelerated gossip around them in terms of being good or bad, when the bottom line is they weren't expected to be good so quickly regardless.

I don't like how the narrative sometimes gets changed just so people can give hot takes. The Rangers are one year removed from the bulk of their rebuild. The fact that they're competing for a playoff spot so quickly is a bonus. It shouldn't be a gripe that gets twisted. If they aren't good still, that's par for the course. Why treat it any differently?

It's as if they're victims of their unexpected and premature success. There's still no rush or urgency to be good. One year removed from a rebuild? Geez.
Yea, how dare they win close games? The nerve.
 
Thank you, coming from an outsider looking in. Lately two "gripe" narratives dominate: kids' development and very weak 5v5 performance. They're intertwined. I can surely say that if Lafreniere, Kakko and Chytil were playing better and had better numbers, there would be less time for us to laser focus on the top four's 5v5 style and play.

I think there are very few people who straight up hate this year's team. Most are appreciative of the team's position right now and are just worried whether it's sustainable, especially come playoff time.
If it's not, the front office will use it as a litmus test and make adjustments. The core is good, the team believes in itself. We're playing with house money this early on since selling off assets a few years ago. I think the team is showing a ton of character this season and I like the fact that you can never count them out.
