GDT: Game # 54 - Cinco de Mayo - Rangers vs Capitals - 7pm - NBCSN

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Hopefully the Rangers are putting the foil on right about now with a pre game motivational speech by the ghost of Paul Newman

 

[Pizza]

Well I don't know what to think of this move today. I'm still too shocked.

Having said that, the Rangers are right where all our detractors and enemies like us to be :

The Laughing stock of the NHL.

My prediction is that tonight the Rangers will do exactly what the NHL is telling them to do.

Take what the Caps give you.... and like it Mitches.

 

[Kords]

I've never been less excited to watch a Ranger game. I can't handle any more embarrassment and the broadcast team is already pissing me off...

 

[Doctyl]

Piere talking from MSG

He has a point. I respect calling out the league, but I would definitely have changed a few words in the statement

 

[Ladyfan]

Too bad Adam McQuaid isn't still playing . Good Luck tonight. I hope you guys BEAT the Caps

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

I have a feeling that even if the Rangers were going to come out with a strong game, having the entire management team fired hours before and the coach knowing he's gone probably defuses that.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Rare agreement with Keith Jones

 

[Leonardo87]

Well at least the NBC crew is not defending Wilson, quite the opposite. Said he is lucky he didn’t get suspended.

 

[McDrai]

Just popping in to say I hope you guys beat some Capitals ass tonight (and by Capitals I mean Tom Wilson )

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

At this point I'm just hoping for the loudest "sell the team" chant a quarter capacity crowd can muster.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I agree with Avery, been saying it since it happened...getting retribution on Wilson wont work, you gotta make it uncomfortable for his teammates to have him on their team. In addition to that, there's no rational reason we don't have atleast one tough guy in our taxi squad.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Nice work @EdJovanovski . I may not always agree with you. but Art is Art.

ps. Thanks for the GDT @Leonardo87

 

[Cmox]

NBC talking heads have our back in this.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

This is so good.

Omfg. Paros's helmet. Holy shit.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I do love that the NBCSN guys are blasting Wilson.

Yeah. They should have been even more explicit and derogatory.

That statement was one of the prouder moments you could possibly have as a Rangers fan....however short lived.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers won’t do anything. I will be shocked if someone did. No heart..

Nathan MacKinnon is not a fighter, but hey he stuck up for his teammates.



If Lafy, Miller or Kakko tries to take out Oshie or one of their skilled players, so be it more respect to them. Eye for eye

 

[rickthegoon]

I hope Laf and Kakko come out fighting for their spot on this team next year

Lafreniere being a home town kid, I had the opportunity to see him play quite frequently from age 10. One thing that he has always done is breaking through on his 2nd year…..the kid has never suffered from the sophomore jinx, quite the opposite. Look at his numbers since his bantam years ; it’s a constant = adapts to a new level on year 1 and dominates the following season. This was most apparent at the world junior’s on his 2 occasions playing with his peers.

 

[RGY]

No Geersten? Yeah, aint nothing gona be done.

Idk whats more clownish, firing JD/JG or icing a roster that wont do shit about what happened to their star player. Just accepting it and getting reduced to nothing. DiGi youre up! Great.

 

[Cmox]

I do love that the NBCSN guys are blasting Wilson.

Ex -cap Jones having our back is pretty telling. He’s never seen on the Rangers side.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

LMFAO.

"JAMES DONAL" per NBCSN. Could be some meme potential.

I think Laffy kinda has the same kind of attitude as MacKinnon. Laf has shown he will engage. Kakko, not so much. He's a robot.

That said, neither should go after Wilson and get themselves hurt.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Ah yes starting the game with the 4th line and Bitetto-Smith

love it

 

[Number 9]

game didnt start yet right? waiting on my stream

 

[Overcast]

Well boys and girls, no matter what happens tonight, uh..something will have happened.

That's about all I can muster.
