Pre-Game Talk: MDSF: (2) New York Rangers vs. (3) Philadelphia Flyers

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

We definitely have top five in the league in D corp

I concur, in fact as a whole maybe 1 or 2.

It's so exciting to hear the players and AV openly talk about how they want to win and how they believe in each other.

Mason not at practice with the Flyers. Just Ray Emery and Cal Heeter.

If they start Heeter, we're ****ed

AV always looks so calm

AV always looks so calm

I don't know if it was because of Torts or the rough start, but him calm and chompin' on his gum used to drive me up a ****ing wall.

Not sure if this is posted yet, but Steve Mason missing from practice:

We have a history of making bad goalies look vezina caliber, so don't joke about tht

I personally would rather face Steve Mason, than Ray Emery. Trust me.

I personally would rather face Steve Mason, than Ray Emery. Trust me.

In a fight yes but Ray Emery has barely any lateral movement because his hips are shot. If the Rangers can't take advantage of that they don't deserve to win a playoff series to begin with

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Ugh, it's like a lose lose situation. If we beat the Flyers with Emery, it'll be a hollow victory.

 

[Holocene]

Ugh, it's like a lose lose situation. If we beat the Flyers with Emery, it'll be a hollow victory.

Who cares? It's not our fault their backup sucks and it's not like Mason is Quick and we're playing against playoff Fleury instead.

 

[silverfish]

I personally would rather face Steve Mason, than Ray Emery. Trust me.

Considering how Emery looked in the third period against the Pens the other day, sign me up for Emery 9/10 times.

Be careful what you wish for. (Speaking to me and you )

**** that, if the Flyers don't have goaltending depth, that's their problem. I hope we light him up like a Christmas tree.

I love that msg is playing the '86 series vs the Flyers. What a great run. Beating the Flyers and Caps in round 1 & 2. They were the #2 and #3 teams in points that season. Three of the division leaders lost in round 1 that year and Edmonton the president trophy winners lost in round 2(poor Steve Smith). That playoff was unprecedented and a whole lot of fun to watch. I was 12 years old and remember it like yesterday.

Mason won't dress for game 1.

Emery starts. Heeter backs up.

“@PLeonardNYDN: Official. Mason out “@BroadStBull: So Emery starts and Heeter is the backup.””

 

[Ail]

Wow. Big break for the Rangers. Mason was the only thing keeping their putrid D from ruining them at times.

 

[silverfish]

Is Hal Gil in the Flyers top 6? If so, we need to match up HARD on home ice. If Gil is out there for a faceoff, I need AV to immediately counter with Poop - Brass - Zucc.

That last change can play a HUGE role in our home games.

Then on the road, at least our 6 Ds are fleet of foot enough to keep up with Giroux if stuck on the ice against him on a faceoff.

 

[highandwide]

love how either we'll blow Emery out of the water or make him look like Hasek... and you NEVER KNOW.

Thank BrassGOD.

No. If we win, we're up 1-0. If we lose, we're down 0-1. Who gives a **** who was in net for them.

 

[bl02]

Thank goodness Brass seems ready to go . That's our consistent go to line in my opinion.
