GDT: RANGERS @ isles | 7pm | MSG

[Crease]

This is a huge game but Igor and Buch being out takes the wind out of my sails.

 

[darcyRegier]

Is Krieder supposed to play tonight? Just wondering wether I should start him in fantasy or not.

 

[FultonReed]

media won't speak with DQ till 5:30, just updated the first post with the tweet

 

[MetalJaws]

A lot of important games on tonight. We put the Piles down tonight and hope for a W from the Sharks, Stars and Wild.

Keep on Rollin baby, you know what time it is.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I don't care if we lose every other game this year. Beat these turds into the ground and make Pageau regret signing that deal.

 

[romba]

Pageau hat trick coming in hot...

Hank's not playing dw

[duhmetreE]

Staals been getting shit but I'd argue he's been solid... arguably better than Skjei. He's still slow and overpaid though

Smith Trouba may provide some nastiness. Skjei was soft. His demeanor was soft. His play was underwhelming.

We'll be fine

He hasn't.

Look at his numbers away from DeAngelo. He's being carried by a great partner who is having a phenomenal season.

And this isn't one of those "they work well together!" things either, DeAngelo's numbers away from Staal are pristine.

Expect big time games from Mariusz Czerkawski, Pat Flatley, and Brent Sopel.

I can pull some winners out for this one. Richard Park, Steve Webb, Roberto Luongo

Joe Sacco, Jorgen Johnsson and Tomi Pettinen.

His numbers away from ADA are with Smith... He's fine with a puck-moving defenseman.

 

[Anthony5967]

Major disparity, eh?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

First game in the post Brady Skjei era. Puck bunnies everywhere seething.

Lol it seems all the sad/angry reacts to the trade were from women , mostly younger ones

Not just smith and he was the weak link on the pairing during the 2 games they played together.

He can be carried by a PMD, but that doesn't mean that he's fine when he's severely effecting how good his partner could be with someone who isn't Staal.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

so after trading skjei we have 6 dmen and with buch hurt we have 12 forwards...and no spares. considering kreider was sick yesterday curious to see how the lineup pans out with no call ups at this point.

if CK is out with the flu can you call it an emergency callup and not burn one of the remaining callups?

Yes

 

[Fugazy]

Keep it rolling.

yes, but thats not an option... yet.

He's still old and moves like a rusted oil tanker but he's servicable with a PMD

 

[Fugazy]

Also, Pageau hat trick incoming.

Staal cant move the puck to save his soul...his move is to pin it to the wall, its frustrating

Richard Park f***ing killed us

I broke something once cause of that bastard

Good ol dick park. Ha, the piles had Luongo and Chara.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Its not an option now since Skjei (Who btw had 200+ minutes with DeAngelo, their numbers together were MUCH better than Staal-DeAngelo) is gone.

They had a better option dressing as a 4th line forward for most of the season ...

 

[MrPodz]

Only way we win if kreider abd buch are out is mika, panarin, and depth stepping up. Expect a tough game, we got ravaged by unfortunate circumstances. That being said, look for georgiev to shine
