I'm not gonna make predictions but I want them to play tonight like it's Game 7. Win or lose, I want them to play like it's Game 7. Like it's all over tonight if they don't win. That's all I ask.

It probably would be over if they lost tonight, so this is a good mindset.
 
I'm a buffoon? Classy.

He scored four goals in a game on January 18th of this year. Sorry it wasn't a week before.

He was a PPG player up until the trade. How did Yzerman miraculously see these ****ing eroding skills that we see now and "fleece" Sather? Come on now, any way we can bash Sather for no ****ing reason. Say he gave up too much because he was bidding against himself, fine, but don't make it like Yzerman miraculously saw these eroding skills and pulled one over on Sather, when he clearly ONLY traded him because MSL demanded to be gone.

Re-read what I wrote. I didn't call you a buffoon.
 
My bad they were irrelevant and unnecessary given this thread is for discussing tonight's game. Speaking of slippery slopes I can't imagine one more slippery than trying to justify the importance of OT posts. In which case I digress.

"Irrelevant" and "unnecessary" are also subjective. But as I said, I respect your right to your opinion. No reason to get into a pissing match over whose opinion is more correct and whose slope is most slippery. Enjoy the game bud.

Let's go Rangers!
 
I'll hold off on win demands. Let's break some goal droughts first.
 
A buffoon is someone who thinks MSL has been terrible and Steve Y cunningly predicted his demise (despite scoring 4 goals right before the trade deadline) and unloaded him to the unsuspecting Rangers. Solid analysis and theories here. :clap:

Clapping for yourself is weak. Bet you laugh at your own jokes, too.

Well, at least you finally admitted that St. Louis has been terrible. Neither of us is sure what Yzerman was thinking, but so far it looks like a pretty good deal from their view. Maybe St. Louis is hurt.

NHL.com is saying Kreider is medically cleared to play. Anyone know if he's in the lineup tonight or not?
 
Pretty mind blowing if you think about it. Just shows how important defense/goal-tending is in the playoffs.

The PP and PK percentages need to be an aggregate of 100% if you hope to keep advancing. If you are going to have a 10% PP, you better have a 90% PK.
Rangers have been on PP 42 times and only short 29. I am not sure that is sustainable, but that has helped keep them alive through this streak.

They are only -4 on special teams through 10 games.
 
If Kreids is in they should limit his minutes. I also think we may have to look at giving the Brass line some time apart. They haven't looked very good vs Pitt. I'd try:

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pouliot - Richards - MSL
Kreider - Brassard - Zucc
Boyle - Moore - Carcillo
