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

Papa Johns kind of night

Is that your safe word?
No judgment.

 

[Machinehead]

Two teams locked into a spot. I'm expecting goals.

 

[Levitate]

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.

I'm pretty sure they'd like to get him some games in to shake off rust before the games start mattering

Why is Kane a game time decision? Is he injured

He's been injured most of the season with a hip problem.

-that is all-

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

Ben Harpur stays in the lineup. That is all.

Both teams are set with theor opponents.

Both teams should be looking to work on deficiencies in their games.

Get out healthy, but show up and work hard regardless.

 

[huerter]

Put Trocheck in the bumper you cowards.

I never understood that theory. If these two teams advance they're going to run into each other again in the playoffs potentially. Why would you wait until game 83 to start grinding on opponents. Anybody that you played on the stretch who you might realistically have to go through in order to get to the finals I see no issue in trying to take a bite out of them. One line that torts had about the playoffs was that every hit was like an investment because it would wear players down. I don't think that investment time frame just starts when the first round starts

This is how New York Rangers rest players...

LET'S GOOOOO

Use up all your cap space to acquire Kane, so you can’t rest anyone.

Rest Kane.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Patrick Kane’s hip is absolutely f***ed but he sucked up the pain for a few weeks to make the Rangers jealous and want to acquire him

You can’t convince me otherwise

I think a lot of us knew that was the case. I just hope he can pull through the pain for the playoffs. He didn’t cost us much so it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t work out.

Great opportunity now for one of the kids to step up.

His D hustle is pretty cautious.

Don't have to hustle if he can just spend the whole shift in the O-zone
