GDT: NewYawker's @ NewJursier's 7pm

Win one for #2 Boys! He just turned 53 yesterday.

Forget about that beautiful spin-o-rama two things you won't ever see again. MSG full of real hockey fans during a playoff game and the Rangers winning an offensive zone faceoff.

is bitteto in or just skating in practice? If anyone knows.

Sure I'll take Tuch all day over Gauthier but Tuch didn't develop over night either. We aren't winning anything this year, we need to let all of our young forwards get the experience and chances IMO. I know Quinn feels pressure and I've been a critic of his handling the team this season but if he would give these guys extended opportunities I know I would lay off him.

The thing is there a number of them and this team already has wing depth. Laf is on the first line. Kakko was on the second. Kreider, Buch, Panarin (when he’s back) need minutes. Even a guy like Blackwell, it’s hard to argue he hasn’t earned a hell of a lot more than Gauthier. Imo it’s not as cut and dry as just simple coaching decisions

 

[kovazub94]

"Works"

IMO Strome is lazier and leans way too much on Panarin. Forces passes that aren't there to try to give him the puck. Strome has had much more complete efforts with Panarin out and playing with Kreider.

Yeah WORK. Both posted career numbers “forcing” puck to find Panarin.

NHL Stats

Something's rotten on the NJD penalty kill.

20 of their 54 goals against have come on the kill. That's insane. A goal per game average.

Yes, and on the flip end their 5v5 is outstanding.

 

[duhmetreE]

Why is Rooney with Chytil again? He sucks on faceoffs to begin with, just let him take the draw. Can we get much worse than 30%?

 

[romba]

The big question is if they win tonight, will Quinn break his dumb 'coach superstition' and insert Kakko, or will they say he needs another game for conditioning so they can keep the 'winning formula', like that's actually thing.

 

[G46]

sorry i really cannot understand anyone's urgency to rush Kakko back into lineup for tonight's game.
a meaningless game in a noncontending season,
the kid is criticial to NYR's future, not to this week, KK coming off Covid situation, and has a complicated health profile,
the team's coming off a win, and the 3rd line looked decent
the missing guys will make it back into the lineup in due time

The games aren’t meaningless. Every game is a game to get better, improve, and learn what it takes to win.

The last thing you want to do with a young team is breed complacency and a losing mentality. See the Knicks as an example of the losing mentality...or the Sabres

I doubt Quinn is that dumb. They barely got by the Sorbos with whatever "winning formula" that was. A blind emu could've seen that.

Man, I can’t wait for Kakko, Bread and Trouba to be back, and three of these jokers hit the press box.

 

[SRHRangers]

The Ghosts of Randy Mckay and Stephane Richer wouldn't help the Devil Dogs tonight.

5-2 Blueshirts.

 

[tomobson]

Hopefully this is one of those nights where we look like an NHL team but I doubt it.

 

[RickChartraw]

Daddy needs a W. Let's go!

 

[DialUp]

Devils lost 6 out of last 7. Tonight is their Cup final. Ugh.

 

[Doctyl]

But they had good intentions. Don’t want to possibly mess up the intentions.

Pregame broadcast claimed that little bitty is in over Johnson on defense

Pregame broadcast claimed that little bitty is in over Johnson on defense

They just corrected themselves.

they took it back it's johnson

 

[Synergy27]

They just corrected themselves.

Dude wtf. I got so happy to see that shitbag out of the lineup. No excuse for him to be playing if Bitetto is available.

 

[will1066]

This would-be loss is presented by Chase

 

[LOFIN]

So pissed about no Kakko tonight oh well

Get the win

 

[CasusBelli]

Debbies gonna spank us. Shutout to boot. #unjinx

 

[Peltz]

[The Crypto Guy]
