GDT: Game 53: New York Rangers vs Boston Bruins, 7pm ET, (TNT, Max)

[Salsa Shark]

We probably need 95 points to reach the playoffs. Thats 41 more points, in 30 games. We need 1.36 points pr game. Not impossible, bur every game now is a must win.

20-10

that's doable.

IMO the PP will get hot now with JTM. He will help it a lot.
Igor needs to dial in. He's a big part of it.
PP + Igor has been the recipe for the past 2-3 seasons.
If we actually dump Lindgren and get a serviceable defenseman in his place, I really like our chances.

We can still make it with Lindgren but he is just a massive detriment.. he's below average ( being generious ) to bad in every aspect of the game.... getting top pair minutes. That's a MAJOR MAJOR handicap.

At minimum.

25-5?

The Rangers probably need to go like 20-8-2. They have a stretch here where they can win some games. They need to win them all.

BOS PIT CBJ BUF PIT - win them all that's a 6 game winning streak with the VGK game.

Then you have NYI, TOR, NSH, NYI. Could be a streak of 8-1-1 or something like that.

After that, they have CBJ 2 more times in March, Ottawa, then some tough west coast games. Bank the points now.

All these other teams got hot. NYI 7 games. DET had 6+ games. NYR haven't won 3 in a row since November.

Now's the time

I really hope they put Cuylle with Tro-Laf instead of Smith. Lavi has both of them playing their off wing! Madness.

perfect time to waive kaliyev

If only Lavi would scratch Kreider.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

the only chance we have is if igor stops playing mid and starts playing elite again

if he gets hot we can pull it off

if he’s gonna be Threegor it’s over

Why'd you have to invent this? Now i can't unsee it.

 

[romba]

Threegor is better than Sixterkin

 

[Fitzy]

I think Laf is going to have a good last 30 games. He's been stronger in the later half of the season every year he's been here.

But Cuylle? He's been running out of steam, and hasn't been fnding himself in auspiscious spots on the ice in weeks now. I think he'd benefit from playing with some of our more established guys. Spread the wealth out. Reilly Smith doesnt need to be in the top 6 every game.

Well you can count on 1 in the first 2 minutes. So hopefully he stops the other 2.

 

[GG96]

Hey Igor. How about a save?

 

[chris kontos]

Seriously considering coming to ny from california for a roll 'n roaster breakfast and lunch.
Shit, we dont even have an arbys

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Hey Igor. How about a save?

Be nice, i'm sure he will make a few tonight.

Agreed. Just 5 points since Dec 1.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

JT scores off a bank from Mika’s face, they still give JT the goal

Cuylle has bounced around the lineup so much that I don't even know what wing he is supposed to be on anymore

20-10

20-10 or 18-10-2 gets them to 38 points.

Will 92 be enough? That's the line MoneyPuck is using.

To be safe lets call it 94.

19-9-2

They've played .519 hockey thus far and theyll need to play around .633 hockey

Need 2 points in anyway tonight and that drops to .620

Yup this is it. If we get the Igor we've had this season, season is over.

If he can elevate his game to where it should be based on his demand to be the highest paid player as his position in the history of the sport, then we have a chance.

Yup I'm going with 94 being the demarcation mark. Just keeping the math simple haha. They need to play .660 hockey. They can do it. Starts tonight

I'd like them both with JTM... but it kind of complicates the rest of the lineup as there doesn't feel to be any other good line combos.

Honestly wouldn't mind Cuylle Tro Laffy as the 2nd line if Panarin JTM Mika are to stay together.
