GDT: Game # 61 - New York Rangers vs New York Islanders - 7pm EST - MSG (St. Patrick’s Day edition)

With Manhattan being what it is there's no way to change that, unfortunately. We get more die hards at away games at times.

I don’t know about that, one guy I talked to during the intermission of a VAN/NYR game told me that Jimmy Vesey was gonna be a 50 goal scorer lol

It's been pretty loud at the Garden this season. At least it seems that way on TV, even before Sam feels the need to let me know the fans are starting a "Let's Go Rangers" chant.

I was thinking the same. I was wondering if Covid had kept some of the suits out of the games?

Big missed opportunity if Frank isn’t playing tonight in a rivalry game.

 

[Cmox]

I would say all the time, actually. Which is not necessarily unique to the Rangers. People willing to walk into hostile territory are down the most part. Especially within the division where the heat is turned up and it's not necessarily "the one time the Rangers are in town."

But yeah, you're right. The arena is in the part of New York that's for everyone but us.

The prices don't help. I went to NYCFC's home opener in the 200's and Rangers tickets for a random game against the Sabres in the 400's cost me $60 more. And let me tell you, even though the weather was horrible, that place was shaking when we scored early. It makes a difference when people are there because they want to be, not because they can be.

Pardon me getting on my soapbox but I was thinking while I was stuck in traffic.

Let's go

Yeah, I think its the remote work and not being able to take clients to smooze with to a game.

Eh, a lot of casuals probably have no idea his brother died. I didn’t even know until I googled it after your post, and we are more dedicated fans than the vast majority of people in the crowd

I thought it might be his wife and said “ they should be happy its not the other chant”

 

[duhmetreE]

Vatrano has to be with Panarin... If Vatrano gets the opportunies Hunt has been getting, he's 100% scoring.

Chytil line has been buzzin'. Why break it up?

Yeah I could see Vatrano in the "Panarin's rattle" role but better.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh no Barzal has 2 goals in his last 11.

 

[rangers1314]

Wish it was Stavros Halkias

There is a long running organized club of guys who start the Potvin chant. There’s a schedule of who takes what game and what not.

I once saw a man with no lips, eyelids, ears, and was missing a tongue, legs, and arms.

I asked him "what's the point of living?," and he responded back saying, "It's not as bad as you think. Could you imagine me being an Islanders fan?!"

I attempted to give him a high-five but I missed for obvious reasons...and I had one too many Guinness' and Jameson's.

That, my friends, was a real St. Patty's Day miracle.

OR, more than likely, the corned beef and whiskey...

That club sounds horrendous

What? No fckin way it gets that corny.

Also, what is the deal with Barzal being on the 3rd line? With that kind of depth I am surprised the Islanders aren't 10 points clear of Colorado.
