GDT: Game # 78 - 4/5/2023 - New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:30 EST, (Game is on TNT)

[PuckLuck3043]

Big test for us...Tampa coming in Hot.

Yup, just in time for the playoffs. They have outscored their last 3 opponents 14-1.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We’re pretty much locked into the 3 seed at this point. Anyone who is banged up needs to sit and get healthy.

They don't have much roster flexibility to rest players because of the cap.

Russian Gas is 100% some kind of amphetamine.

By the way some people have described it, it pretty much sounds like a low grade version of meth LOL.

Haha. True. I would not doubt in Russia they are likely using some kind of crazy shit. In the US, I would imagine that a mixture of Toradol (Inflammation), Tylenol (Pain) and caffeine would be their equivalent. Less effective, but less likely to f*** you up.

Sure looks like they’re going to finish 3rd but if you’re into home ice for later on in playoffs should the Rangers get there, they’re still battling with TBL/TOR and the western teams.

 

[Leonardo87]

Feels like both of these teams are locked into their 3rd divisional seeds, not much to really play for to be honest.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Happy Passover to all who do it. I guess they wanted to put this game on TNT because they knew Sam wasn't going to be available.

Would love to see the Kid line continuing their hot streak.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Would love to see Kane get a goal or a few apples tonight

9 points in 13 games ain't bad for someone who's hip is f***ed

 

[hackeyman]

LETS GO RANGERS !

 

[Ruggs225]

Just stay healthy! A win is a bonus.

Not much to play for in the standings but I'm hoping for at least a little bit of intensity between them.

Rangers usually play Tampa hard, so expecting at least a good effort from them.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Just win.

Hey Folks,

I updated the lines for both teams, some notes.

*Shesty gets the start
*Lindgren returns
*Kane out

Also, game is on TNT, so won't be available on ESPN+ or MSG.

Let's Go Rangers!

We are only carrying 1 extra skater/cap. no one is gonna be sitting but gallant is doing a pretty good job with ice time management.

Each kid has a Gordie Howie hat trick or Tob moves back to British Columbia with Ed.

Is Kane out tonight? Sorry if this was answered

Edit

Edit

Could be a game time decision, if he is out the Rangers would then have to run 11F, 7D.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Expect big time games from Mike Sullivan, Brian Bradley and Tim Taylor

Fredrik Modin with a PP goal

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Why is Kane a game time decision? Is he injured

*Harpur scratched.

I have no idea what Lindgren's issue is but they should have just given him the rest of the RS off.

They aren't playing for anything at this point and I don't trust the medical staff at all. No one rushes players back before they should play like the Rangers do.

If it's a labrum tear that can't get any worse, disregard everything I said.

 

[17futurecap]

Sit Kane, let Lindgren play 10-12 minutes, and give Ben the rest of the time.

These games are meaningless.
