Ok. Hmmm.

 

[Lion Hound]

ADA hurt?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Maybe Tony D was more hurt than he let on...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Tony D hurt...

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

trade incoming?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Good for Keane. If Tony is out for a bit, this is a good opportunity for Keane to show what he's got

 

[Leetch3]

good for keane...probably not good for ADA

 

[RGY]

More likely that DeAngelo is hurt than a trade. Do not see the Rangers making a trade during a back to back

Hartford watchers have said Keane has been up and down this season. Should be a big test for him.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I was probably less optimistic than most about Keane last year and this pre-season, but this is well earned.

I still have doubts about whether he can defend well enough at this level to stick, but in the handful of Pack games I've seen this year, he has played the type of "boring" game that I find encouraging.

Perhaps someone has the flu.

Also might shave a few bucks off Tony’s next deal.

Dude was scoring too many points anyway.

 

[Richard Banger]

Pretty excited to watch him. Would be awesome if he showed some promise. Hopefully forcing Gorton to trade Skjei.

 

[RangersFan1994]

trade incoming?

someone please take Skjei. I have seen enough of him as a NYR player

 

[Vitto79]

DeAngelo / Trouba pair tonight ?

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Guys, if a roster move had any bearing on Skjei, it wouldn't be Keane coming up, it'd be Rykov or Hajek...

Hush, you!

 

[romba]

Hopefully TDA is only day to day. Like CK day to day, not Zbad day to day...

 

[JimmyG89]

Talked a lot about Keane watching him play in Hartford a lot.

He has been their best D all season and should have been the first recall if needed. Hope he proves me wrong and is ready for the NHL and shows out while up with the big club.

One thing about Keane, the offensive numbers in the AHL are really good, especially for a rookie in that league, but he's more of a puck mover and good defender. His offense is there and he can skate really well, but expecting him to be a dynamic offensive guy is a bit much. Reminds me more of the way Stralman would get points. Smart player, knows what to do with the puck.

I was hoping against hope of a Skjei trade and ADA moving to the left

 

[will1066]

Please don't wear #82. That's Straka's number, and they're going to retire it.

maybe ... Rykov has missed, i believe, 3 of last 4
and Hajek's reset under KK and Murphy is only a couple weeks in

if ADA is ok and its a left side spot (Staal, Smith, S ...)
it's not a terrible time for the ADA on the left trial

if we do see Keane, these are 1 or 2 very good tests,
on road vs a motivated CBJ (lost last night, couple key guys hurt, tight race for WC spots in East)
and the big bad brunes sunday afternoon

 

[RangerBoy]

Lindy's old number.
