GDT: Game # 52 - 2/10/23 - New York Rangers vs Seattle Kraken - 7pm EST, MSG, NHLN

[Alluckks]

a little shocked but hope he plays both nights

Apparently I missed the follow up tweet where Vince said Halak tomorrow, but I think that this is something we could see 1 more time or so down the stretch

 

[tlk]

Put up or shutup opportunity for Kravtsov. Door is wide open for him between now and March 3rd to prove that he's a viable piece of the roster.

Of *a* roster I'm afraid

Blew the Penguins out 6-1 and Brassard, Clowe and John Moore all scored in their first games as Rangers.

Clowe scored 2 in that game despite having 0 goals on the season when we acquired him.

I watched it live (from Germany) , I will never forget the first shift. Clowe started with couple of huge hits, pretty much charged someone on the boards, almost destroyed the rink at MSG.

That was so awesome, unfortunately it fizzled quickly though.

literally forgot Ryan Clowe was a Ranger, for those who want 10 minutes of good vibes. found the full game below.

Also lol at Fleury getting pissed

 

[cwede]

wish Kraken weren't on a losing streak.
Can't be as sloppy as vs Canucks

glad we'll have our best available 4th line,

the 3 guys on Wednesday like never had the puck,
now one is in MO, one in CT, and one in the press box, verging on re-waiving

I think there is a very real chance that Igor goes back to back. He did it earlier this year October 29 and 30. 2 wins.

Gallant comments postgame on October 30: “Great,” Gallant said of what he saw from Shesterkin on the second consecutive night. “Might do it again someday.”

He's played 1 game in 2 weeks so it's very possible.

We’ve never played a good game against Seattle lol hopefully tonight starts a new era

Thinking some nice fried or sautéed calamari tonight for an appetizer.

Halak is playing well, I see him getting tomorrow then another out west at least.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Seems pretty obvious Kravstov is being showcased for a trade

No other reason Gallant just randomly puts him back on the second line

I agree it's his "final audition". However, I do believe he's a goner no matter what he does.

11 games before the TDL, 20 points that'll win him the spot.

I read it as one final trial run to see if we can keep Goodrow or Vesey on the 4th line going into the postseason.

But your theory could certainly be part of it too.

The reason why HFboards loves this lineup is because no one appears to be playing in roles over their head. That said you can obviously get scoring from top 9 lines that include 2 skill players and a grinder, so it isn't the end of the world if it doesn't work.

We should be calling Chicago about Blackwell for 4C so GG can have an existential crisis about who to put in the top 9.

ah balls.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

What does Ed do? Root for Krav to play well? If he plays well we trade him. Root for Krav to be terrible? If he's terrible we never play him again.

maybe not, he's in the right spot for his upside,
obvi Bread and Kid line are as expected
and Goody/Vesey/Gauth is the best 4th line with today's roster

Unless Gallant is finally at the stage where he’s ready to start playing his “ideal lines”.

Well he's here until he's not. I think the team would prefer he breaks out and at the very least builds up some value if a trade is indeed inevitable. You're unlikely to add a player of his skill level at the deadline for less than $1m. So the best case scenario for everyone is that he finds a groove and starts playing well.

It just seems that this is the beginning of the stretch run, his boss has equipped him with better parts, and it's time to stop f***ing around and go live your best lineup.

Panarin Zibs Tarasenko

This is about as '1st line' as it gets.... on paper at least.

Yet Trouba is still on PP2. That's the final piece to fix.

Today’s Media Availability:

Tarasenko speaks English really well. He's a better interview than many native English speakers.

BTW, did I hear what I think I heard at about 3:46 of that interview?

Aww.......Poor baby!!!

 

[Priorae]

I don't know how any Ranger fan couldn't be happy with lines like this.

4th Line is perfect and I actually hope they get more minutes than we have been going with.
