I know it's a cliche, but it's time to play the kids.

Zero hopes to see Gauthier, but more ice time for the young guns if you would please.

Fox and Lindgren are clearly exhausted, and with good reason.

Before things went to shit last game with the penalties, Laf was looking really good on the top line. Give Kravtsov a full game with Panarin and Strome.

 

[aufheben]

Again?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'll be at the Garden tonight! All i'm asking for is one of Kakko or Laf to score a goal and I will leave happy.

 

[Richard Banger]

Yeah tonight is Guna be a pass for me

 

[Harbour Dog]

If the vets don't show up again, then f*** 'em. Play the hell out of the young guys; I'm sure they'll at least bring a desire to do well.

 

[Leonardo87]

Again?

 

[EdJovanovski]

We’re basically eliminated from contention, we should say f*** it and roll out this

Panarin - Kravtsov - Buchnevich
Lafreniere - Zibanejad - Kakko
Kreider - Chytil - Strome
Gauthier - Howden - Blackwell

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Smith
Hajek - Jones

if we plan on molding Kravtsov into a C long term do you think they should give him a look in some of the remaining games now that we’re out of the playoff race?

[KevinFinnerty]

I'd prefer to miss the playoffs and get the higher draft pick to get our top 6 C. Play the kids.

 

[NYR Lurker]

Today is my birthday. I don't know about everyone else, but I only get one per year. Please Rangers, all I ask is for a solid 60 min effort and a fun game to watch. Thank you.

Happy Birthday!

Also, I have some bad news...

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Wave the white flag, play the kids.

 

[Fitzy]

Lafreniere-Zib-Buch
Panarin-Strome-Kravtsov
Kreider-Chytil-Kakko
Blackwell-Rooney-Gauthier

Would be my forward rollout the rest of the way with

Laf-Chytil-Kakko-Buch-Jones as PP2. Assessment time.

Make that PP1, and we have a deal.

 

[Sayba]

I wish we had big fast power forward we could inject into the lineup.

Oh well I'll guess I'll settle for watching minor league players and guys won't be part of the future instead.

 

[LokiDog]

I only skip games that life prevents me from watching. I won’t say no to dinner with friends to stay home and watch the game, but I won’t skip a game I’m home for, regardless of how frustrating things get. I’m watching because I believe in our youth. I believe that any game, regardless whether it’s a W or a 6-2 embarrassment, could be the game where Laf or KK do something unbelievable. I’m watching because Panarin and Mika one-timers still have a 50% chance of making me smile. I expect nothing. I’d like to see the kids in more prominent roles now that the playoffs are out of reach. Either way, I don’t get bent out of shape based on the results. I just want to see progress and glimpses of the future.

 

[will1066]

This page re-directed me to a diabetes management site. Kakko, are you reading and redirecting the page?

@Loki Dog 74 I wouldn't stay home to watch this bunch of clowns if I had a better option.

At the same time, all losses are lessons learned for the young ones at this stage of their early careers. From that point of view, there are no bad games. They are learning what bad habits not to inherit from the veteran core.

I miss sir avgard hockey professor. I would love his insights down this stretch of final games.

That's Chris Kreider! I'd love him on the Rangers!

[NYR Viper]

What the hell has Gauthier done to NOT be in the lineup?

 

[will1066]

What the hell has Gauthier done to NOT be in the lineup?

Maybe he gave Quinn the side eye at practice.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I don’t want Quinn to get COVID but I would be happy if he was in the protocol again. Maybe that we can get Kravy off the 4th line. It would be nice to call up Barron too. O Knobby where art thou?

 

[will1066]

If you're going to be at the game, please start a PLAY THE KIDS chant. Thanks.
