GDT: Game #75 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST , MSG

Would have loved to see Schneider dial Graves there.

 

[DanielBrassard]

better period for sure, didn't give up as much.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Graves is such a fake tough guy. Loves to pick on anyone he thinks won't drop em.

 

[Machinehead]

shorten the D to 5 while you're at it

4*

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Can Mikkola fight? Would like to see him throw some punches.

That would mean Harpur gets more ice time, we dont want that.

 

[Richard Banger]

Oh we on their asses now. Win the 3rd period and it’s GG

 

[Raspewtin]

Can Mikkola fight? Would like to see him throw some punches.

he had a fight against us last year lol

Graves is such a fake tough guy. Loves to pick on anyone he thinks won't drop em.

Yup. Wasn’t so eager with Schneider.

 

[mike14]

I shorten the bench to 10 in the 3rd. Double shift Tank and Kreider. Kakko and Laf ride the pine.

Seems pretty reactionary. Surely you want them playing through this now rather than benching them come playoff time?

 

[Machinehead]

Need Kakko lacrosse goal

I'll settle for a Kakko hockey assist at this point

 

[Chytilmania]

Miller has bailed out several chances with his speed today.

Yes despite many mistakes overall our D has gotten back to make excellent plays.

The Rangers play so much better when they are the aggressors. When the other team pressures them they cannot pass and bleed odd man rushes. Hope they keep up the intensity in the third.

 

[Circus86]

he had a fight against us last year lol

Really? Don't even remember that.

 

[zlev]

please give Harpur the Stu Bickel treatment for the 3rd

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Still in the game and our first line is starting to control the play on their shifts so thats a positive.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Yup. Wasn’t so eager with Schneider.

His turtle job against Reaves a few years back was the stuff of p***y legends.

 

[Atax]

Can Mikkola fight? Would like to see him throw some punches.

Man him and the other top 4 know they can’t get off of the ice. They have to realize the 3rd pairing is trash.

 

[mrmovies779]

Harpur-Schneider are the new bad Staal-Girardi

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I shorten the bench to 10 in the 3rd. Double shift Tank and Kreider. Kakko and Laf ride the pine.

They play tomorrow night so that won't happen.

 

[bhamill]

Hitting

Which coupled with our ability to score will give us a great chance against them in a series.

 

[Tob]

I'm gobsmacked these Devils didn't restrain themselves in the presence of the GREAT Patrick Kane and instead chose to engage in this folly pushing and shoving. The lack of respect this new age Devils team have is more shocking than anything we've seen out of Harpur tonight.

 

[Kovalev27]

Yes, No, Yes, Maybe, Maybe IMO

Keep an eye on panarins point totals. He’ll put up 500 600 pts minimum as a Ranger. That puts him in rarified air.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Better period. This is a winnable game.

 

[The Gloaming]

Other than the third pairing being cancer and the linesmen being confused about icing, this has been a pretty good game from the Rangers.

Miller is going to have to skate a LOT in this playoff series.

 

[will1066]

Lindy Ruff pleading with Hughes to turn back into Teen Wolf.

"We need the Wolf, Jack. Please. "

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Harpur-Schneider are the new bad Staal-Girardi

I realize Schneider hasn't been great but at his age he isn't supposed to anchor a pairing and that's what he's been dealt since he got here, every bad dman we have plays with him.
