GDT: Game 59: New York Rangers @ Columbus Blue Jackets - 6pm ET, MSG

Hate that Vally uses all-situations for these so keep in mind there’s bias there, but it does match up with what I’ve seen with teams throwing a lot of garbage on net lately. If Igor’s playing like his old self, that’s a complete waste of time letting him get set into a rhythm. Still think they need to be better at defending off the rush in the NZ, but their overall offensive attack has been better lately too (you’re welcome Kyle Smith )

There were an awful lot of times in the Philly game, that Philly moved the puck from their end into the Rangers end without a Ranger getting near them.

We're winning without the PP carrying. That's encouraging.

If we get all aspects running hot at the right time, ( as it's true for some contenders ) we have a shot at the cup.

This is how I feel. Sure not everything is perfect (when is it?) we need some guys to play better but being on this winning streak will give them time to adjust and will have a cushion.

It’s a good time to maybe try some different things to see if they can improve in the areas that need to be better.

Just trying to enjoy this winning streak, it beats being at the bottom of the standings or barely holding onto a playoff spot now.

Lets hope Mika is saving his best hockey for April and May

The hubris is intense

The Rempe effect

 

[nsvoyageurs]

This is the game teams worry about. Long win streak; tough game the day before; playing a shitty team tonight = loss. JD would love to stick it to the Rangers.

The President's Trophy is a jinx we should want nothing to do with.

There's no such thing as jinxes.

Why won’t they let this kid be?
Like a fast gun slinger in the old western movies.
Every goon wants to challenge our hard working forechecker.
Bunch of prejudice jerks against People of Height.

I wonder if Edstrom is feeling any pressure to show that he can fight too? Can he fight?

Laf cut off 10 lbs of hubris and now he’s looking great.

that is my concern, he has not fought in Hartford. What if he throws a clean hit and gets challenged? He came from the Euro Leagues so I don’t want to assume he cant fight because he played in those leagues? Tanner Glass played in college and was a fighter.

He can Aho his way out of it?

Or he can have his even bigger line mate step in for him.

It's not a big deal. Plus he's also 6'8", not many guys outside of the true heavies are going to challenge him.

 

[E-Train]

If Edstrom were to get in trouble, he could always pull the Deslauriers/Vukota and dump the leg to bail.

Realistically, I’m not worried about that at all. Edstrom can play his game without dropping the gloves.

[Jack Hanson]

Does Rempe a) get in fight b) not get in fight but get ejected for objectional hit or c) no fight and no ejection but still serves penalty box time for something or d) none of above. Can I bet on this on fanduel? I'm choosing a) get in fight.

During tonight's fight with Olivier vs Rempe, there's a good chance a hockey game might break out. LOL!

​

 

[Chytilmania]

Rempe’s Goals/60 has to be higher than Gretzky and Ovechkin.

 

[ohbaby]

I don't know what I am looking forward to more. Olivier vs Rempe or the franchise record. What a night it will be!

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Have a feeling Panarin is about to catch fire tonight

Hopefully Quick is Sharp tonight. still having PTSD from that Edmonton game where they lit him up in the third, and that Red Wings game where they scored like 5 goals when we had 6.

and that San Jose game where they scored 4 or 5 and we barely beat them...lot of scary games this year.
