Elvis with an even more depleted line up could lead to a "no mas" Roberto Duran moment or a sudden health issue.

FanDuel has a -110 that Elvis will suffer from a mysterious ailment at 6:50.:D

Anytime I think of JD in the booth I just think of the Kariya hit and the "oh.... my goodness". Felt like he said oh my a ton which was pretty warranted for that play. Actually makes me want to go watch that whole thing again. "Off the floor, on the board" is always good for some goosebumps

I could not have been more tired of JD by the end of his tenure as POHOP, and was never a fan of bringing him back following his NYR sojourn, but this could be entertaining.
I agree wholeheartedly. It exposed an organization with little to no self esteem (or competence).

I guess I have to give JD and ownership some credit. They were probably a big part of the process which led to the hiring of a competent GM.

Hammer EDM to score a PP goal if there's a line for it.

So you are saying EDM will be 4 for 4 on the PK and 4 for 5 on the PP tonight. Let me dial up Fandual right now.

The PK one makes sense. Almost their entire PK from last year is gone, no?

As a New Yorker who grew up a Rangers fan, I am super excited. I like Jody a lot but JD was the standard for color commentators

I agree with there’s some credit due in the management change. The whole final years under prior management was a fiasco and Jarmo gets the biggest blame (though JD does as well). In the final years they couldn’t decide if they were in a rebuild, retool or push for the playoffs.

But the biggest mistake was in all the coaching decisions starting with convincing Torts to stay that final year and whiffing on three consecutive coaching hires. As Torts was fired pre-Jarmo, his track record is 100% failure on coaching hires. That’s pathetic.

Wait what? I'm confused reading this. What are you trying to say?
