GDT: Rangers @ Devils Part Deux

[will1066]

Is Trouba playing? Or was I misinterpreting?

My understanding was that he's still a game or two away but will return during this road trip.

Is Trouba playing? Or was I misinterpreting?

pretty sure no...he's getting close but yesterday Quinn specified kakko will be back and georgiev will start. not trouba....he's close cause he's back practicing and is likely to play before this 6 game trip is over. keep in mind that he is only 2 1/2 weeks into a 4-6 week injury.

Primetime hockey for the Finnish audience. The game im most interested and seeing Kakko, Hughes, Lafreniere etc. Go Rangers!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Better effort than last time and we should coast, even with Geo.

Hit Hughes.

 

[DialUp]

Kakko should score like, 4 goals today with Finnish ease. Masterful strokes of skill.

God I hope the rona didn't do any long term damage (to anyone, of course, not just Kakko, but please no to the Kaap)

 

[Larrybiv]

No reason in the world why we should'nt take care of business today. Emotions should be riding high on the Shesty good news, and makes this game meaningful again.
Gonna be busy switching out all 8 ignition coils to my 2004 Mustang GT. before game time. Wish me luck as I am as far from being a mechanic, as I am from being an NHLer! Will check back here, when I need a break. LGR's!

Oh and btw, another 6 spot today! 6-2 Kreids (PPG) yet another, Stromer, Chytil get his 1st since coming back, Zbad (PPG), Foxy and here's the surprising one........Lindgren! God, does he deserves a goal, or what?

Btw, sorry about making pre game thread today.....somehow didnt see this one already.

I've said it a lot this season because there have been a lot of back to backs...

Playing the same team immediately after spanking them on the scoreboard in the previous game can be super dangerous.

 

[kovazub94]

If you take Howden out, then you have to elevate Lemieux who I haven’t been thrilled with lately.

He’s been a little undisciplined for his role and he hasn’t generated enough on the forecheck to warrant it.

And as much as Howden has avoided the score sheet like the plague, he has done well on the PK unit and it’s another guy to take face offs with Chytil still not 100%.

Not to mention he’s putting Rooney with Chytil to take the draws for him. So you have to have Rooney or Howden with Chytil. Easy decision there.

I see the reasoning but I think a PDawg Blackwell switch is obvious considering how hot a stick Blackwell has had.

Maybe Quinn has decided to give Laffy top PP time and not having Blackwell there to screw with his rationale is driving it. Who the hell knows

Quality post!

Laffy Hatty

Blackwell fumbled away the puck multiple times last game.

Yup and PDG adds speed and size to the bottom 6.

 

[kovazub94]

I am (very) far from being a Quinn Apologist, but I agree with him sitting Blackbeard for this game. He had an abyssmal showing last game. HE will be back inthe lineup soon enough. Has been quite good since joining, far better than expected

C’mon, Quinnbro, wear the label proudly!

 

[CasusBelli]

Went to bed at 4 and woke up at 7:30 still a little drunk. But it’s all good. Just win!

 

[LOFIN]

Prime time in Finland (20.00) and Kakko is playing. What's not to like? Well, hopefully the team doesn't let me down...

 

[will1066]

Kakko need big minites to show the finish countrymen on TV high worth however instead bloated bigbellyman coach will put lafresgu top again in herodress to satisfy craving the fans of sugar players with fake big bosoms while kakko in doghouselines again

Was going to hit this local craft beer bar for the game today. Sporting my Kreider jersey. Don’t think will need much intoxication, lol. Have a good feeling about this game. Devils are bad and the Rangers are finally showing the talent they have and getting on the scoresheet. Only need Mika to get going but that pass to Laf was a good start.

 

[LokiDog]

Lines in practice, discuss

Laf - Mika - Buch
Kreider - Strome - Kakko
Rooney - Chytil - Gauthier
Lemieux - Howden - PDG

I like Gauthier being elevated. He’s had the least amount of ice time on the team this season.

He was one of the only ones hitting when he was out there and they need to pound that smaller team so they can’t get free and skate.

Notable omission is Blackwell who I would have in there instead of PDG

Blackwell should be playing on the wing over Rooney. Rooney is a 4th line C at best. I like him as that, but if that’s not where he’s playing, it should be Blackwell instead. Otherwise lineup looks good.

I dont eat sugar or carbs. I ate ice cream last night and I feel like I woke up drunk. Same outcome different path

Carbs and sugar make you dumb.

I woke up feeling a little buzzed as well. No hangover but the missus and I were at a good concert last night and drank a little much. Lazy Saturday morning and almost time for some hockey. I swear I’ll be productive and go to the gym and stuff after.

Expect big time games from Tommy Albelin, Krzysztof Oliwa, and Scott Clemmensen
