I’m convinced Rempe is the Kravtsov (in disguise) descended from the rafters we’ve all been waiting for

Time to lay off the pipe, EJ -- he ain't coming back!!!!

It’s not difficult to NOT play at least one abysmal horrible abortion of a period every game though and be forced to claw your way back all the time.

The Dallas game is the type of game they should be able to play every night. Not every period was as good as the 1st which was an A , but no bad periods and they always felt in control.

The third period against Dallas was complete ass.

Othmann played RW or only a month or so in Hartford.

Changed my avy @Machinehead

They loved to watch that strut

Feelings on the Devils ......

All their fans had to compromise, it's why they jack off into a tissue.

 

[chosen]

I would be very very concerned about his out of thin air injuries. Hence, why I've been rather adamant with my goofing about him getting injured at lower level female sporting practices. Volleyball really tickles me most tho ngl.

And for the record it'd be:

Fox
Laf
Jacky

And we'd all be talking about how we need a player like Kakko and he'd be the best 'buy low' candidate in the league by one million miles.

We got our boy and I love his giant, goofy Finnish ass.

You would take Laf over Jack!?

I wish we were opposing GMs.

Quinn is still by far my favourite Hughes brother.

I wouldn't give Jack the skin off my custard.

Which forward on the Rangers would you not trade for Jack Hughes?

The third period against Dallas was complete ass.

Too much turtling but we’ve had far worse

 

[egelband]

Its difficult to play 3 excellent periods every night because the other team is trying to win too. At the end of the day all that matters is who is winning at the end and we do that way more than we lose.

This. We care about the rangers so we focus on our guys. They make a mistake and it's obvious. Other teams make the same mistakes, probably more often. But we don't take note, naturally. It's a perception issue. Rangers are a good team, even a contender.

Per Vince, Panarin and Vesey are now GTDs. Othmann is a contingency. Edstrom and Rempe are playing no matter what.

Ok that’s weird, sometimes there could be issues with your phone.

My phone is working fine. It doesn't have issues. It's not the Anaheim Ducks.

The third period against Dallas was complete ass.

Right, but Igor, who is part of the team too, was fcking excellent. It is not "good" to win that way often, but it's OK to do it every now and then.

 

[CasusBelli]

Prediction: If we win, it’s because we are PP merchants and will lose to whoever we play in the first round. If we lose, the Devils are back (but will somehow lose to the Canadiens on Saturday) and we will lose to whoever we play in the first round.

What I’m saying is, devilshfboards will be fun either way.

The whole PP merchant critique always seemed silly — even if it is true. Every coach says special teams win games. Last I checked, PP is half of special teams.

Yep, and not every power play is a gift from the refs. Some are legitimately earned with good even-strength play.

I like you to leave my other personal affairs out of the conversation. Thank you kindly.

 

[CasusBelli]

And you have to work for PP goals. Creating space, finding passing lanes, jostling in front of the net. It’s not a skills contest.

I wish we were opposing GMs.



Which forward on the Rangers would you not trade for Jack Hughes?

I

Worry

About

His

Frail

Bones

And woman-ish build.

*also we never talked about trades it was more a 'shoe on the other foot' scenario. I enjoy Lafs durability and you know, man's body.

 

[Row I Goon]

I wouldn't trade Laf, KK, Tro, Bread or CK - I would give up Mika for Hughes in a fukking heartbeat

Should Panarin not be able to make it, I'm eager to see what kinds of power play geometries Lavy has in store tonight for huerter.
