Dang. For a second there I thought it was 715am NY time.
This “Frozen Frenzy” is a good idea anyhow. Stagger the games so fans can watch more hockey.

I like the idea. Only issue one game tonight and Wed. But that’s fine.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Seems like forever. LFG!

The issue is they chose to do this on the first night of the NBA season. Which is immensely dumb

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Any word on if Laf is playing?

Oh, you think that’s dumb? Nothing compared to TNT’s “Cold Clusterf*ck” slotted for game 7 of the World Series.

Ok we got Ruhwedel in the line-up.... time to put Jones back in

Jones is going to get traded when Lindgren is healthy

 

[GAGLine]

Jones is going to get traded when Lindgren is healthy

I'll bet you any amount of money that won't happen.

I said the same thing with regards to being married to my wife.

She tried to introduce me to Ms. Chancla, but instead introduced me to Mr. Steel Toe Boot, 12 1/5!

And the Habs are tiny like her. Not feeling this one, sadly.

I think Mancini is going down.

I don't like it, but it's the easiest move for the FO to make.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Gustav Forsling is 6'1 199 and Zac Jones is 5'11 190. Is it really that huge of a difference? Does everyone on defense have to be 6'3?

 

[Row I Goon]

1015am down under.

Probably equals a puck drop about half past….

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I want 5 goals again

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I want 5 goals again for us.

Fixed it for you.

Ruhwedel is about 5'11 190 too. I think Laviolette just wants to play him now and again and someone's coming out to make that happen and barring any more injures that someone will either be Mancini or Jones..........and then Lindgren's coming back. I kind of suspect Jones will be back in tonight but Ruhwedel had a good game the other night. I think sometimes people get so invested in a particular player that they tend to be negative towards others who they perceive stand in their way. I don't have any complaints so far with Jones. He's been pretty solid but so far anyway I do like Mancini more. I suspected when he signed late last year that he would do well but his well has almost been shockingly well. The size, the skating, the defensive game, hockey IQ and moving the puck pretty damn well.....it's all there. He's an NHL player whether he goes down to the Pack or not. He does come from a family of seriously good coaches. Maybe that's it but he's been fantastic. Also all other things being equal between one player and another the bigger a player is the better.

 

[LOFIN]

Any word on if Laf is playing?

Let's put it this way: if they were not expecting him to play, Rempe wouldn't be taking line rushes with Tro and Panarin at practice.

Jones is not 5’11” lol

 

[Mike in Houston]

Mancini out. Loss.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

I get feeling Mancini may get put on a pitch count this year more than they did to Schneider. Braden looked great out the gate his first year then fizzled hard where the mental and physical grind caught up.

I think we'd be less wrapped around the axle if we just knew what the plan was to spell guys like Lindgren and the bottom pair every now and again. However we know that Trouba can throw an absolute stinker out there and Mancini would get scratched. It's like the Rangers right of passage to aimlessly scratch young players.

 

[FultonReed]

just like the 9:45 game we had recently against Calgary. cool idea, though, to have all the teams play on the same day. LGR!

 

[McRanger92]

The NHL staggering these start times only for no one to watch because it's NBA Opening Night is par for the course. Love this sport, hate this league. Of course the Knicks and Rangers play at the same time.

Anyway, I'd be very shocked if Laffy doesnt play in his hometown. Team looks really good, hope to keep it rolling.

Jones is 5'11 like I'm 6' on my online dating profile
