It doesn’t Motte to me who scores, as long as the Rangers win!

…wait, is this the no pun GDT edition?

 

[Alluckks]

Gonna be a huge pain in the ass playing them away. Look for them to put Jordan Staal against Mika every chance they get and enjoy the hold, interfere, and hook show

[Synergy27]

A win tonight would be delightful.

 

[Larrybiv]

Seems we may have blown our only real opportunity to take the division by losing last game.
Carolina played a real good and smart road game, we need to do the same and usually do.
We play so differently on the road.
More controlled. Maybe I am imagining that though.
Have to beat them, not let them get in our heads for eventual showdown in PO's.
Have a feeling GG is hiding a different PP, not gonna give them something to practice against.
These "weapons" have to come through on the few chances they'll get.

I think @Machinehead said that Mika tears up the Canes w/more than a pt. Per game. Regardless that Staal shadows Mika he will find a way, no wonder why they don't score as often as they should. They castrate Staal, taking away his offense for the most part. Too worried about defense, lol

 

[will1066]

LOL Bill Hader is spot on with his observations. Hader meets Keith Morrison:

[IchabodCrane]

Let’s do this! Hope K Miller can pick up his defensive play!

 

[Fitzy]

I'm increasingly convinced that Stepan has just been lying about his age and is actually 38-39 years old.

he looks like he doesn't know what stretching is, purely based on his skating form

 

[Machinehead]

Expecting another barnburner against the very exciting Carolina Hurricanes.

Have a feeling there was some sarcasm in there, right? They're obviously good, but even though they get 600-700 shots per game, doesn't mean they're exciting. lol.
Add Mika and Kreids to their team and they prob would be faves to win it all.
Burns my ass that Chatfield rifles that shot past Shesty. Of all people. Does have a good shot, and left wondering how high they are on him. KAM like feelings we have?

Rod would make Mika eat meat, and mind games with Kreider would make him think so deeply inside himself, all the manimal proteins in his body would fold upon themselves. Oh, and they can never cross streams. Stay in your lane.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

With all the misguided blame and bullshit analysis that came out of some people here from the last game, it masked one of the bigger problems with the game entirely.

The top 6 needs to come through today.

 

[duhmetreE]

I'm not exaggerating. I have very little desire to watch this game.

Last game was a grind... maybe that's what they're trying to do? Ortmeyer and Glass playing 5D Chess... making Rangers fans and viewers grinders... They are developing everyone

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Too bad they didn't snag Kessel at the TDL because a line with him and Step would be an entertaining match.

that's a problem if you can't get the puck out of your zone or past the redline.... treading water all game

Aloooottt of that was on the forwards though. Misfired passes or passes that got sucked up in the NZ because they were playing right into the trap set by the Canes. Panarin was the main culprit, real off game for him.

Patience is key, can't force shit out of frustration and miss completely when there is an opening. I
