Hopefully the Rangers are pissed enough about their captain being falsely suspended they use it as a challenge and come out even harder against the Spits. It is apparent Savard cried a river to the league but left out the two obvious blatant head checks by his own players. They accused us of not having any class here in KW yet they booed their own team twice in their own barn. Go Rangers!!!

I'm glad they got the decision last night; gives them a chance to let it sink in, prepare and rally around it, vs. getting the news later today and going into the game fresh of the news.

Move Rehkopf up with Mesar and Sop. Keep the Zhilkin, Valade, Arcuri line. Move Mercer up with Martin and Misaljevic (3M line), and add Bottineau on the 4th line with Swick and Hollett. Pretend Pinelli is off playing for Team Canada. Hope those same two incompetent Refs are not assigned to this game.

Don't give Windsor an inch. Feed on the Ranger fans frenzy (it WILL be LOUD). Be relentless. No mercy.

Upcoming draft. Looking at the draft pick data base thread document the Rangers have two 1st picks. Oshawa3rd, Sby 4th conditioned to Flint in Jack Wismer trade 2020, 5th conditioned to Nia in Justin MacPherson trade 2018, 7th, 8th ,10th .11, 12 ,13, 14 . Not sure about the conditions. Can't remember yesterday.:)

Cannot remember the last time iI was this excited for a game at the AUD. Probably game 6 against the SOO?

This feels different.

As much as I want this thing over tonight, it wouldn’t be that bad if the Spits extended the series to game six. Then we win it on Sunday and Pinelli is available earlier in the next round.

It absolutely matter how Peer exited the bench (especially now, when the matter comes down to suspension or not), If you are skating by the bench at speed, and a guy hops off the bench directly in front of you (doesn't look first, back turned) with less than a seconds notice, it's going to be almost impossible to avoid collision, and the natural reflex will be to brace yourself. All of which diminishes any 'intent'...now if another angle shows Peer jumps on the ice 5-6 feet in front of Pinelli and it's clear he should have been able to A) see Peer coming and B) should have had time to react in a way that doesn't result in contact, then we can talk.

Avoiding a collision is not the same as intentionally elbowing him in the head.

Well that's where we disagree, I don't see "intentionality", unless you've got a side angle that gives us a definitive picture of things, it's conjecture and beating a dead horse, poundy...especially since it went your way and anything Ranger fans think has no effect on the outcome.

Me thinks you have been eating far too much pound cake. You do know where you can pound that cake right? Savard did an admiral job of crying a river to the league office when it was his fault for sending Peer over the boards at the precise moment Pinelli skated by. Weird how some Spits fans all have the video clip and no one else can find it? Oh well , maybe they are just throwing BS at the barn door. Anyhow we have moved on to the game at hand tonight. :)

I have the tape of the game can someone show me the video that shows Pinelli actually elbowing the guy.I have looked at it often and see no elbow . Windsor must have the only video showing it ?

Keep Rehkopf where he was after Pinelli out on Tuesday. He's been much better but still occasionally forgets about the 150' nearest his net. I don't like seeing him out against another team's top lines.

Agreed. I believe Swick was put on the top line. Put Bottineau on the 4th. Tell Mesar it is his big opportunity to shine. Remember 2010...It is not over until that 4th game is won. Don't get over confident. This is a very good Windsor team. And remember the league and the refs are against us and they want their stars to advance. So no obvious head shots or retaliatory penalties. Play your best and you end up in the history books.

Let’s go Rangers. Get it done tonight! Enjoy the game.
Nothing better than a sold out barn and April hockey.
 
If anybody has a ticket or two they are selling for tonights game, please DM me! Thanks! I didn't buy a playoff package. Regrets lol.
 
Good luck tonight. Make sure you save some great defensive playing for London. Be great if you guys beat the top 2 seeds.
 
UPDATE:

I was able to secure 2 tickets online as 4 got released. If you're looking. Keep refreshing. They expect scattered singles and maybe another few pairs to be released as the afternoon goes on.
 
Good luck Rangers! I posted after the deadline that it was shocking to see this team in the position it was. I thinks it’s safe to say that the team has saved face regardless of what happens after tonight.

It will be a memorable one for sure. I don’t like Kitchener…. But I hate Windsor!
