Must win.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I see another loss coming. This team has mailed it in lately.

 

[Jauffre]

EZ win

nationally televised game? in the afternoon? these are pretty much always disasters. considering the team is on island time waiting for the playoffs, i may just skip this one with them. besides, they still got a point friday. this team usually doesn't turn anything around until they've been humiliated. wash has nothing left to play for but this one last showcase and for some reason they're always in peak scumbag mode against the rangers. recipe for disaster.

also to be clear not saying the sky is falling at all. this game means nothing as far as a reflection of what the team is capable of. its just looking at some realities of one game and the fact that they very, very rarely would bode well. wouldn't be surprised with a big loss into 2 days off and then a 4-1 or 5-0 stretch to close out. lindgren plays wednesday, although i wouldn't even rule out today, esp if his brother is in net.

Wouldn't this be the time to call up rooks and have them get in couple of NHL games and rest up the regulars?

Idk if that's what teams do in NA and I don't particularly remember the Rangers ever doing it. We're cap-strapped anyhow, but it sucks, I would just rather give Jones, Cuylle, Robertson and Co. a couple of looks. But yeah, we have 24k in cap space and only one waiver exempt contract.

Hoping for a big sports day. Rangers and an important derby game for our local football team.

I mean, ok, if I have to.

They don’t have the cap space.

 

[KennyWu]

Just don't get hurt, please

 

[will1066]

Can't make this one. Probably for the best.

 

[Kords]

Wtf? Another nationally televised matinee game? Team really seems to get punished sometimes for being one of the big markets. Would love to see a breakdown of total evening games by team.

Won't somebody think of the CHILDREN?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Ah i'm at work today so a nice 1PM game is perfect to pass the time.

As you may have guessed I just finished “The Last of Us” series yesterday. Great F’ing series. Can’t wait for season 2.

Pascal is awesome.
I’m definitely going to buy a copy of the game.

I thought it was pure garbage, began to hate watch the last 3-4 episodes.....but I'm glad you liked it.

Pascal is a decent actor, however.

I love those post-apocalyptic series and movies, it was slow at times but the characters I thought really drove the show. I also think Pascal did a great job. A very fine actor.

But yeah I can see why it’s not for everyone.

No. Play everyone, get Lindgren back and go into the playoffs in the proper form.

 

[LOFIN]

Parliamentary election night in Finland, and prime time Rangers hockey. Potential for it to be great, or super sucky.

Stay healthy

 

[Raspewtin]

do we have to?

Can never really count on HBO. They canceled Raised by Wolves after 2 great seasons and didn’t give a plausible reason.
Also canx Gordita Chronicles after 1 season. That kids gonna be a star.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

We owe TJ Oshie this game. Hope he gets lined up and blasted. Justice for Lindgren!

I stopped eating chicken Marsala for awhile after watching the first season.

 

[duhmetreE]

this is a dangerous game.

I rather get blown out than have a close contested game with Wilson cheapshotting our top players

do we have to?

this could easily be a disastrous game.
