GDT: Game # 82 - 4/13/23 - New York Rangers vs Toronto Maple Leafs - 7pm EST, MSG (Final regular season game)

[Machinehead]

I guess it could have been a Leafs fan that bought my tickets. When you know they've got a maximum 8 games left in their season, you probably want to go to one that won't force you to refinance your house.

That's probably the biggest reason opponent drives prices so much. Teams that are popular nationwide, especially in New York where we have transplants from everywhere, only have these games to jump on.

I want two point games from Kakko and Lafreniere.

And a goal for Mika.

That's all.

 

[Larrybiv]

educated guess: our series starts Tuesday, the Knicks have the Garden on Friday and Sunday. would interfere with the Rangers playing at home.

anyway, stay healthy! please! just let Ben Harpur run around out there, f*** it

How educated? No, no no sir. You know the schedule maker screws us. We will be playing tomorrow.

 

[CasusBelli]

At least it should be entertaining. Both teams likely wanting to stay healthy. Should look like an All Star game.

 

[chosen]

Nope it's still ridiculous.

f***ing Original Six.

My terms are duel at dawn

Would imagine so. So much to the point that maybe GG is thinking of startiing Halak? We're not going to play until next week, so a couple extra days shouldn't matter in regard to rustiness for Shesty...........would it?
Don't need him getting bombarded by blasts if we're not going to defend that much, and don't need him giving up 6 and potentially hurting his psyche. I dunno. That's why I am not a head coach, cannot make tough decisions.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Raspewtin]

not watching tonight - going to the Panthers game since i'm in Miami for business and their tickets cost less than a beer and hot dog at MSG.

no injuries plz

Oh nice. That should be a good game. Have fun!

 

[Bob Richards]

Don’t block any shots. Don’t throw any punches. Greet the leafs players with a courteous handshake if you must.

Just don’t get hurt. No injuries please.

 

[Mandar]

I want two point games from Kakko and Lafreniere.

And a goal for Mika.

That's all.

should really have the first line be Laf - Zib - Kakko.....they can all achieve the milestones together.

[Ruggs225]

If the puck goes in the net but nobody really cares or is watching did it really happen?

This game is the definition of useless. Nothing good can come out of it, only bad. We are better off just forefitting

 

[Machinehead]

I have work. Can we duel at dusk?

 

[Ruggs225]

If i was Drury i would call up Toronto’s gm and say lets play this game like an all star game. No hitting, just skating and shooting. Dont care if the game ends up 40-39.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This game is as meaningless as they get but in about 12 hours we will finally know who they will be playing in the 1st round.

I suppose.

 

[Siddi]

All I want tonight is following:

1.Mika goal
2.No hitting
3.No blocking
4.No skating, just gliding over the ice
5.No boardplay

2.No hitting
3.No blocking
4.No skating, just gliding over the ice
5.No boardplay

They should just put up a sign by the door to the ice surface for both teams, like those for playgrounds and getting on the subway.

 

[zlev]

after all the schedule complaints this season, having 2 easy home games to finish off the last week of the season before the playoffs almost makes up for everything else

 

[FultonReed]

I hope Adam Fox doesn't play more than 20 minutes, tops, tonight

 

[Leonardo87]

I hope Adam Fox doesn't play more than 20 minutes, tops, tonight

We should just throw Harpur out for 30 mins, lol.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I want two point games from Kakko and Lafreniere.

And a goal for Mika.

That's all.

One point from each and a goal from Mika would make it 40-40-40.

Would be cool if Chytil left the game for a skate issue and Mika took his spot for one shift and it all happens on one goal, lol

Also, if Kakko assists on a Laf goal the two will have identical stat lines for the season 17-23-40

Giving both New York Rangers goaltenders Igor Shesterkin and Jaroslav Halak rest before the playoffs begin, head coach Gerard Gallant has announced that Ben Harpur will be tonight's starting goalie in the team's final regular-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, with Harpur's backup to be decided.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned for updates.
