The team either starts the game balls blazing or sleepwalking like a two-week-old rotting corpse.

And without Kakko, I like this lineup as constructed on paper.

Fox is back

Thank yee

 

[Lua]

Bergeron out tonight because of head injury
Marchand out tonight because of brain disease

I say after 2 weeks off it's going to be a sloppy first and people will be bitching immediately.

I don't understand the origin of the meme I created, but 84 years seems too low.

That's like saying the sun will come up tomorrow.

Glad we dont have to deal with that weasel Marchand. LGR!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

No Marchand or Bergeron, zero excuse not to win this game .

No matter what happens in this game, this place is going to be full of people whining tomorrow.

Okay @Leonardo87 , you beat me to it!
Thats because I spent an outrageous amount of time finding links (lol)
I read them to see if it was worthy.
otherwise, I would have been up before ye'. haha.

Maybe the mods can combine the 2.
I need to be heard! dammit! haha
(yeah, okay I'm excited AND losing my mind....You have a prob w/that?)

Yup. These are the quotes I guarantee we will see in the first 5 minutes:

"What did they do for 2 weeks? Didn't they practice anything?"
"This team is never ready to play."
"This team can't complete 2 passes in a row"
"Why is Chytil even playing? He's not a center."
"This team looks like it's skating in quicksand. They look slow and out of sync."

Hoping for a decent game for Nemeth. Hopefully most of his dreadful play was in between his ears with his personal issues ??!

That is the fun part .

Up 1-0 but outshot 12-3 in the 1st is a guarantee haha. Its a game they should win, Boston has trouble scoring if its not Bergy, Marchand or Pastrnak and 2 of them are out.

I also like that there were some fireworks at the end of their last matchup (Panarin glove throw, McAvoy knee on Rooney). The Rangers are better when they play with an edge.

Laf (5,004)
Shesterkin (49)
Panarin (10)

And Fox with an assist on every goal

 

[Leonardo87]

There’s no doubt gonna have some Rangers hockey in May which is weird because that usually means you made it to the 2nd or 3rd round.

Even with the long lay off , which is over now, have hockey to enjoy to at least early May, hopefully longer!

 

[DudMan28]

Not to be the grumpy guy since we just got back, but Gallants insistence on playing Nemeth and McKegg really irks me. What has Nemeth done to earn that spot ? He's been horrible. Mckegg has shown nothing that Barron can't provide at this time. Letting our young kids grow is only going to help this team down the stretch.

[Anthony5967]

I'm hoping people have enough common sense and patience to expect a slow and sloppy first period. Just make sure you limit Boston to the outside and they'll be fine.

Geo in net? Or is that only after summer break, not winter?
