Hagel goal. Book it.

 

[bl02]

They have to start the bum don't they?
Shesty tomorrow vs Carolina.

 

[Cygnus 2112]

AG is going to “play” one of these games. And those damn Caps are in the rear view….get Kessel and his hot dogs in here ASAP.

 

[Cygnus 2112]

What the hell: Frankie the Tankie gets a point tonight. You heard it here first ladies and gents

 

[romba]

Geo tonight, Shesty tomorrow? Pump that trade value lol

 

[duhmetreE]

I'd start Shesty both but that's just me.

I hope they inflict pain on Tampa like I want to inflict pain on the tax professional who epically screwed up my return.

I just can't see us sweeping them

I'm going in with minimal expectations, hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised

Tampa is coming off a 6 game road trip though. Usually doesn't go well, 1st home game back.

Agree. Of the two games I'd like to see them beat the Canes more though. I'd sign up for a split right now

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

[B17 Apricots]

Honestly I'd rather see Brodzinski on that 3rd line and bump Hunt down to the 4th

[Cmox]

Hmmm so Geo vs Canes?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Really need a win tonight.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hmmm so Geo vs Canes?

It might be Igor's first b2b.

 

[Irishguy42]

Hmmm so Geo vs Canes?

Gonna end his Rangers tenure on a bad note

Game Day Media Availability. Mika Zibanejad, Barclay Goodrow and Coach Gerard Gallant.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'd start Shesty both but that's just me.

Gallant is more concerned with Igor being 5% fresher than getting home ice in the first round, it's pathetic.

 

[duhmetreE]

Gallant winked when saying 'I guess Georgie tomorrow'.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That Islanders loss stings because a 3 game losing streak is a real possibility.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Also did Vatrano play with Strome and Panarin last game? And if not, is there indication he'll be playing them this game or is that a hypothetical?

 

[tomobson]

Gallant is more concerned with Igor being 5% fresher than getting home ice in the first round, it's pathetic.

I'll take a 5% fresher Igor in the playoffs.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'll take a 5% fresher Igor in the playoffs.

I don't think it makes as much of a difference as home ice.
