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

[EdJovanovski]

With Gauthier getting the call you have to wonder if someone is borderline to go tonight. Kravtsov, IMHO, as he looked uncomfortable (left arm was it?) after a collision last night. We'll see.

He played several shifts after and looked fine, I think Mika is more likely injured as his was at the end of OT, then he had a bad shootout attempt. But don't get why they'd call up a winger for Mika

 

[duhmetreE]

I'm just confused how Kravtsov looked better 2 years ago than now.

Vegas has us as underdogs

There are certainly a few who wish nothing but the worst for him, but I do think most are trolling to bug me. But I'm confident I'll have the last laugh.

Since you're trolling us, all's fair. But I don't think we wish the guy fails. We just wish you'd shut up.

I'm not trolling anyone and there's a difference between being overly optimistic and overly pessimistic. Half the posts about Krav are self deprecating about my love for him. But oh well, keep being grumpy I could care less

Not only that, he keeps a database that documents the local subtleties of Pizza Huts from Medellin, Colombia, to Burnaby, British Columbia.

"I find that the sauce used in Medelin Pizza Huts that use sugar to hide the shitty, acidic tomatoes is better than the Vancouver sauce that uses high fructose corn syrup to hide the shitty, acidic tomatoes."

On the road, back to back, bad stylistic matchup.

As we should be. Likely factoring in Halak in net too.

Any word if they are going Shesty b2b?

Kreider and Zibanejad need to start playing the cycle game in that line. Kakko can't do it alone.

Also, Reaves should punch someone today. The team needs an emotional spark (although they played a good game yesterday), and NYI is the perfect team to do that against.

Also, f*** that 30min later start. Why?

Vesey is not a complete dud off the rush (lookin at you Carpenter, and Reaves), let's see if has has any chemistry with Gauthier.

Naahh, that shit was brought to you by 3 years of Medical School and all the student loans to cover that, and then some lmao

My mother in law actually daylights as an old school seamstress, she's got the sewing machine with the foot pedal in her basement. She even made my wife's wedding dress, and she's very picky, excuse me, particular, about her fashion.

Sir, between telling your son not to uppercut swing like a Yankee and revealing that your mother-in-law sewed your "authentic Majestic" Yankees jersey, your tales utterly fascinate me.

I know Vesey had a beauty no look feed to Foxy last night!

We should win this one comfortably -- on paper. That is, however, assuming our players don't go into the game with that mindset (and that they didn't expend all their energy last night against Colorado).

Fully expect whoever is in net for the Isles to put up a Vezina performance. Georgiev has been average, at best, for the Avs, yet plays out of his mind last night. Tarasov was a brick wall against us, yet last night, he was a sieve.

Yes, Kreider was bad last night, but, for the most part, the team played pretty well. Even the Hajek haters didn't have much to whine about.

Don't forget the Cizikas hat-trick.

It happens when you develop a player too quickly or not quickly enough. Hard to hit that sweet spot.

Good for Gauthier. kept his mouth shut did his job heading to Hartford. Didn't hear him cry about it.
There was gonna be a good chance Reaves (been terrible) and/or Kravtsov (really not an NHL player right now) would take a seat and he would get his chance to get back into the lineup.
If Kreider is really playing hurt he should be out but the fact he literally played the entire overtime last night doesn't give me the vibe that he's the one out tonight.

And CK should have the sense to sit out games early in the year, before the intensity increases and wins become tougher, rather than in the spring.

PLZ NO

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Doesn't Wis do football also? Might be his schedule or his preference. (Playin devil's advocate)

Yeah but I think McDonough does some other stuff too. Idk it must be because of behind the scenes reasons though because based on quality alone I don't see how the executives can watch each of them call an NHL game and decide McDonough is better.

We played last night, we're on the road and we likely have our backup in net. Makes sense.

 

[Chytilmania]

I live 2.7 miles from UBS arena but I'm not paying to watch this team until they turn it around.

 

[EdJovanovski]

2 hours & 15 mins until puck drop and we still have no idea the lines or starting goalie?

We'll be favored in like less than half our games this year.

Gallant's pre-game presser is probably at 530 since there's a later start tonight. I don't think we'll get lines until the warmups
