Pre-Game Talk: Perhaps it is time to begin this discussion - Rangers @ Isles 4/13

[enigmatic]

He was talking about the Rangers road record.

i see i see....my bad....

going to the game tomorrow....i have missed this feeling so much....im so freaking nervous..

we are playing sooooo well, so i should be very confident, but i feel with these games, you throw all momentum, records, stars, etc out the window.....

50/50 who wins IMO

Eh, no need to be that nervous. You guys have a good chance at the playoffs, regardless of this game. I hope you make it over the Devils.

 

[Placid]

This match will be a nail biter

i see your point, being that since teams will be playing eachother, we have a very good shot at the playoffs, as long as there are not a plethora of 3 point games....but it doesnt sit well with me that with a loss and a WPG win we are tied in points (we would still have a game in hand)....that is not enough breathing room for me..

IMO, the NJD are done.....there are 3 spots open for 4 teams (NYI NYR OTT WPG)

either way, the win in boston was huge for us last night....gave us a little room for error...

i just wish there was a way for NYI & NYR to meet in the postseason.....prob not this year, but i think we will both be in the postseason much more often in the near future

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Too bad the Rangers didn't get the imaginary version of Kreider that exists only in fans' heads, he seems a lot better than the real one we saw this year.

Ill all for change when its warranted and backed up by good points. Hell, Ive actually grown more sympathetic to the "anyone but this guy" posts.

But this revisionist stuff is really out there.

 

[gary laser eyes]

I wish I could just make stuff up to prove my points -- like a myth that Chris Kreider was consistently producing chances in his time here. What a nice little fairy tale.

You're just putting words in my mouth. Consistently is a pretty important word which you conveniently threw in there to prove your own point. But I guess that any combination of Pyatt, Asham, Powe, and Boyle are a better option for the Rangers bottom 5 offense which has 2 players accounting for 26% of the team's scoring...

Fun fact: Crosby and Kunitz are both top 5 in the league in scoring and they account for less of a percentage of Pitt's offense than Nash and Stepan do for NY.

The Penguins also have a second generational talent on their team and a consistent first line player in Neal.

 

[Wolfy*]

these games aren't nearly as epic as back in the day when fighting wasn't a staged event and each team was stacked with toughness. just sayin'

They have a couple of fighters, so do we. Then you always have some Isles and Rangers fans going at it. Saturday night + drinks = very emotional atmosphere

 

[Baby Punisher]

The Isles are due for a clunker. Look for total domination by the Rangers in this tilt.

 

[gary laser eyes]

The Penguins also have a second generational talent on their team and a consistent first line player in Neal.

They also have 51 points combined from Sutter, Kennedy, Bennett, Adams, Vitale, Jeffrey, and Glass. That's pretty much what comprised their bottom 6 throughout the year.

The Rangers have 23 combined points from Pyatt, Boyle, Miller, Kreider, Asham, Powe, Halpern, Newbury, Ferreiro.

I'm not gonna count newly acquired guys like Morrow or Brassard.

 

[Thirty One]

The Rangers have 20 combined points from Pyatt, Boyle, Miller, Kreider, Asham, Powe.

That's not fair though - Miller, Kreider, Powe and Asham have all missed a significant amount of games. To be fair you should add Halpern.

LOL. ok, fixed.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I'm not seeing a blowout. When's the last time we gave it to the Isles? They always come at us strong.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Quite simply, a must win.

 

[Greg NYR]

hanging out tonight with a group of ranger and islander fans watching the demise of marty and the devils, call it the calm before the storm tomorrow we wont be speaking

OK, let me rephrase since that was deleted:
I do not believe in jinxes. The guy is due to score, I believe it will be tomorrow night

Im certainly not superstitious by nature, but i swear that every time someone mentions shutout in the GDT, Hank gets scored on a couple of minutes later. Seemingly happens every time

 

[KingP]

cant wait for tomorrow

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I fully expect someone like clowe to knock JT on his ass at least once tomorrow night.

i fully expect JT to get up from that hit and roof one over henry's shoulder

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Rangers just better be ready to go from the drop. None of this, we need a period to get our legs going ********.

Maybe the extra day off helps.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Good luck roofing one from the bench he's thrown into.

 

[Kreider Typical]

going to be funny when biron starts. dump all the pucks over our bench you want buddy

 

[JohnC]

To be fair, I think Capuano would beat Torts in a fight

Guy looks like a hobo, he probably fights like a hobo (and them hobos know how to fight)

 

[JD123]

Why do some of you guys predict the score and who's going to score? I know it's fun to see if you get any of it right, but that just screams jinx to me. I guess I'm just superstitious lol
