GDT: Game 8 - New York Rangers @ New York Islanders - 7:30 EST, TNT

[LOFIN]

It's a shame about Kravtsov. He's a year behind. He shoudl have been learning about playing in the world's best league last year and come more prepared this year. Now he's still behind. Too bad he ran home. A handful of games at Hartford and a lot would be better now.

Guy turns 23 in two months. Still time to figure it out, but it requires plenty of work. Remains to be seen if he has the guts to grind it out. And it might not be here where he has to do it.

 

[Crease]

Bottom line is that fans should be prepared for 30-35 Halak starts, even if Igor is fully healthy. Not just during back-to-backs.

 

[Zibanejbread]

LGR... best team to start a winning streak against

 

[duhmetreE]

So Gallant is an idiot then. Or does he think Halak is our #1? In which case he’d also be an idiot.

Halak starting 2 out of 3 games

It’s gonna be 3 out of 5 this weekend

 

[Off Sides]

Players I expect more from... all of them except perhaps Panarin. Which is ironic as he was the one in the last playoffs I expected more from.

Or something like that, I found a new Bourbon I like, and according to the time zone confusion it's like 10:30 right now.

25 is acceptable. 35 is absurd

More like 25-30. Igor had a heavier workload later in the year. They're not going to run him into the ground. And it's Allaire that hands the goalie rotation.

Could someone PM a link? I don’t get TNT.

Find Billy "The Deliverer" Randle and tell him I sent you. He'll hook you up

 

[CasusBelli]

This guy man. This damn coach.

Dammit, I thought this was a 7pm start. I already ate my boozy whiskey ice cream and drank two bourbons anticipating puck drop

 

[Daves a mess]

I just passed a kidney stone.

If you ever had one, ya know the joy.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Hajek hasn't played well since his 5 game cup of coffee in 2018, so by that standard he should never see the ice. But unfortunately Jones hasn't made enough of an impact to solidify the spot so this is what we get.
