Animal House will never get old.

And fitting that there should be some Fawn Leibowitz posts on April Fools.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Wow, Lemiuex requested a trade.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

So happy the sabres already ended their losing streak before this 2 game set.

She was making me a pot....

This just gave me a tremendous idea. I bet that if you had a wind sail/parachute on a windy day, you could use the force of it to pull you down a frozen canal/lake on skates without having to use any effort.

Call it skate sailing

Surely a hang glider would be the way, no?

 

[Machinehead]

It's the Rangers developing a forward prospect.

If he's playing significant minutes by the end of *next* year, I'll be very happy.

Hockey gods please give us a hat trick by Lafreniere, Chytil, or Kakko to take our attention away from Kravtsov not playing. Thank you.

Edit: phone battery at 74%. I can't even make this up.

Well jokes on you because Gautier is going to get the hat trick, solidifying his lineup spot for the next two games at least, keeping VK up in the BOX

Expect big time games from Donald Audette, Henrik Tallinder, and Drew Stafford.

What about JP Dumont? He always torches us. Or is he in Covid protocol?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov’s the blurry girl in the background that Quinn doesn’t even know exists

I believe he is in covid protocol, apparently got it when he hung out with Paul Gaustad

Chytil Laf and Gaut looked good last game getting pucks on net, some nice board work too after smart chips and chase not forcing things in the NZ, and getting pucks on net. Laf has been guilty of forcing some cross ice passes on 3 on 3s or 2 on 2s which he's cut back on recently. Last game Laf engaged the Ds along the boards in the o zone with a purpose, provided support for his linemates double teaming along the boards when appropriate, and recognized when the puck battle was going to be in our favor and got himself into a position to receive the pass or got into the lane when it became evident the battle was a lost cause. And Gaut continues to use his size and speed either to get behind the D with possession, or be the first on the puck in the corner and it's working. Still needs better balance and agility but he's a big dude, that takes time. Hope they get rewarded with points.

Kakko's becoming harder and harder to knock off the puck each game, he's absorbing hits and shoves, staying on his feet and keeping the puck on his stick, it's wonderful to see. Hasn't directly led to much points just yet, but it's comin'.

Valley is implying Martin is the reason for the D success.

Lmao so today at the office I didn’t hear that we were off tomorrow for Good Friday (or even that tomorrow was Good Friday) until 4:25 PM.

I literally would have woken up at 6:00 AM again tomorrow and driven the 40 minutes to the office.

I was confused all day as to why people were telling me to “have a good weekend” on a f***ing Thursday lol

So...sorry, Rangers, I’ll keep you on in the background, but right now I got some StarCraft to grind.

Isn’t that what we’ve been saying for months now?
Martins system and Miller solidifying Trouba.

Yeah, but it makes it better to hear it.



Also is Kinkaid a 17yr old ? It’s pretty funny though.

The crown on Shesterkin is probably for czar, not king or "boy king"

 

[Larrybiv]

Two, 4 goal 4th period outbursts vs the Caps.
9 and 8 goal games vs Philly

We have yet to really explode against Buffalo!
Don't necessarily want a "needed" 4 goal 3rd tonight. Want stress free.
Don't necessarily want a 4 goal 1st, as that would make the game boring.

Would prefer a 4 goal 2nd period. Was our best period for most of the season, I suppose until recently. Not sure.

Not taking it for granted, but this team really needs to follow up that last game, and do what we NEED to do. We are NOT Philly.

 

[Larrybiv]

I would be happy with 7-1. Especially happy when Laf gets 2,
Chytil and Kaapo with 1, and LINDGREN with his 1st (finally)
Zibby and Kreider need to get back in the scoring column.

I admit, I am not a pro and just a GDT shit poster, but I don't buy into the "play down to your opponents" narrative thing that gets thrown around when we play shitty teams and suck along with them. That said, Rangers are going to play down to Buffalo and play like ass.
