GDT: Game # 65 - New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG+ (Guardians of the Galaxy Edition)

[LokiDog]

Tyler Motte will be captain by 4am and the team will henceforth only speak in terms of “the juice”.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Shesty has to waterbottle Crosby in the 3rd. For old time's sake.

Or just give him a good old Sidney Nut Tap.

 

[duhmetreE]

It's a terrible thing to say... and I wouldn't ask for it but we'd be better if Strome was out

Kreider Zibs Vatrano
Panarin Copp Kakko
Laffy Chytil Goodrow/Motte
Goodrow/Motte Rooney Hunt/Brodz/Rooney

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

I love Chytil's game

So do I!!!

Never mind the doubters.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

The penguins are gonna turn K’Andre into the next Chara if they keep testing him.

 

[Boris Zubov]

That was just a Quebecois hello

Laf should've given him the NYC goodbye.

 

[Machinehead]

Sounds good but Copp has to play with Chytil and Laf. We aren't playing Laf-Chytil-Kakko together in the playoffs. Don't feel like they are gonna be the kid line of the 1990 oilers Graves, Murphy and Gelinas.

Kreider-Zib-Vatrano
Panarin-Strome-Kakko

There is no reason for McKegg to play another game this season.

I actually think he could provide some much needed veteran leadership. Maybe even lead the team to a Calder Cup.

Laf looking like he was hanging out under some pigeons in that interview

Sure if the final regular season game is meaningless let him center the first line

I don't see why not. Chytil and Kakko have always played well together, you could shelter them if you want and lean on the 4th line more but I don't think that would be necessary. Kakko is very dependable defensively, Chytil isn't a hindrance and Laf isn't the greatest but whatever.

The other national animal of New York

 

[chosen]

Where has this performance been all year?

You can say the same thing for almost all of the teams. Even the very elite teams aren't performing at their best most of the time.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Great game so far. ONLY complaint: Laf has 8:11 of ice time. The Panarin line doesn't deserve 3 more minutes the way they are playing right now.

I'll set them up, you knock em down

 

[haohmaru]

Greg McKegg is sobbing somewhere methinks.

Who is this McKegg you speak of?

Kid line? They'll be More like snail/ turtle line lol

Like every good wing man should.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Is there an update on Howden? That fall into the boards was horrifying.

 

[will1066]

Good news for Howden. That looked scary

 

[bl02]

I don't see why not. Chytil and Kakko have always played well together, you could shelter them if you want and lean on the 4th line more but I don't think that would be necessary. Kakko is very dependable defensively, Chytil isn't a hindrance and Laf isn't the greatest but whatever.

Seems like all three can be ok on the d end. Just feel like the coach is gonna mix in one of his vets to play with that line especially if Laf stays on left wing.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We've got a lot of options and thats not a bad thing

 

[RickChartraw]

kinda like vatrano with mika and kreider. they are fast.

Giannone said just soreness

Quinn rushed to the hospital
