GDT: Game # 71 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes - 7pm EST, MSG

[will1066]

Zero complaints with that period. Only breakdown was the 3-on-2 rush early in the period but other than that they were sharp. They managed the puck very well.

A couple of weak east-west passes in the o zone but overall, very good

There is nothing about this Carolina team that scares me at all.

The bill that my painter is going to send me to do my kids play set has me more concerned.

Rangers can blow this open at any point. And shesterkin is back

One more thing I know we’ve mentioned it but there are some real gamers on this roster than are going to get better come playoff time. Mika Tarasenko Kreider Kane Trocheck trouba just to name a few. The entire 4th line those guys are going to step up and of course we saw what the kid line did in the playoffs.

This team has another gear. I don’t think Carolina plays better come playoff time. I think they play their hearts out all year

Motte it off, these puns are atrocious.

Please, what's the Motter with the puns? Now, if someone asked him what his favorite app is and he says "Mottezarella Sticks" though the question was actually what PHONE APP his favorite is, then I can see your point.

Maury: "Andrew, you are Motte the father!"

*Vesey and Goodrow jump on stage dancing crip style*

 

[FultonReed]

Remember when our 1RW was Vesey, 2RW was Goodrow, and we had Jake Leschyshyn centering the 4th line?

don't really want to, can I pretend this has been the roster all year?

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Into the Motterverse.

It's really only Boston and Tampa that scare me in the East, and we wouldn't play either team until a potential ECF series. Toronto is Toronto until further notice, Carolina is down Patches and Svech, and the Devils (players rather) don't have a whole lot of playoff experience.

There's no joy without sadness.

Devils worry me. Against us, not so much against the rest of the field.

 

[will1066]

All those disallowed goals

The duality of Motte

if the 4th line keeps scoring every game nobody is gonna beat us

In theory, if all else being equal, absolutely.

Vesey does it. They're Motte gonna score *every* game!

 

[Machinehead]

If it does happen, our chances are real Goodrow.

 

[Mandar]

Vesey does it. They're Motte gonna score *every* game!

The kid line needs to eat some garlic Motte’s

 

[will1066]

Know what Snowblind hates more than shoddy goaltending? Puns.

 

[rangersfansince08]

shots are 12-9

so we outshoot teams now? is that what the rangers now do? cool

 

[DialUp]

Carolina is in Trouba without Svech.

 

[GAGLine]

Did Nashville get all of their injured players back since Sunday? How is Buffalo losing to that team?

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

I kid you Motte, that shot hit the spot
I can Motte believe it... what am I seeing?!
Motte got Andersen seething
Man, what a feeling!
Tyler hit the Motte, is it now we start believing?
Is it a cup we'll be seeing
At the end of the season?
Man, just give us a reason to start believing
Who needs a Gauthier, we got Motte shining brighter than a Cartier
We're building something special, Charles Garnier

 

[Machinehead]

Carolina is in Trouba without Svech.

Their best chance is to hurry Kane. He's prone to giveaways.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

gotta be better with the puck this period

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Mods, please step in

Man... could you Motte.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Just raced home with the pizza just in time for the second period!
