GDT: Rangers vs. Islanders - MSG - 7PM EST

[RangersFan1994]

I wonder if Buch is scratched tonight. Lines at yesterday's skate suggest he might be.

yay more of Haley ugh.

Lemieux with the Gordie Howe hat trick tonight

 

[leetch99]

Well...if Buch is out sick then put Haley in . He deserves it for fighting Ross the Loss in the first game . It also could get nasty this game as well .....may as well have the ammo close at hand . Our top 9 will love the extra ice time . A few minutes of Haley won't kill us .

If it's Haley-McKegg-Smith then 2 minutes of aggregate ice time is all that'll be acceptable unless the game gets funky.

Trick is Lemieux is a left wing- will they move him to the right?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I'd like to see Haley get his ass kicked again so yeah put him in

 

[Maximus]

Expect big time games from Troy Loney, Dave Scatchard, and Brad Isbister.

Also expect big games from Jeff Hackett, Brent Sopel, Kenny Jonsson, Steve Thomas, and Eric Cairns.

Had to get it all out of my system...

I'd also keep an eye on the Anders Kallur, Wayne Merrick, Lorne Henning line which has been en fuego vs everyone but us. Luckily for us Quinn is going to put our newly formed line of Mikko Leinonen, Chris Kontos and Robbie Ftorek to help throttle them.

I am happy they won't be putting Greiss between the pipes vs us and instead will go with good ole Rollie Melanson! So maybe we'll win tonight after all...lol

 

[CasusBelli]

hopefully traded before the all-star weekend

Hopefully traded yesterday. Throw in Andersson and get JP and a third from Edmonton, which converts to a second and a fifth of JP doesn’t sign.

He's been used at RW a bunch this season, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

Chris Kontos haha

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I don’t see Panarin in warmups

 

[Fitzy]

No Panarin tonight.

Not great news for our chances in this one.

 

[Thirty One]

Does Panarin not want to go to St. Louis in January or something?

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

No Panarin tonight.

Kakko channels his inner Panarin with the hatty tonight.

 

[Alluckks]

Panarin was targeted not just in coverage but with with a lot of holds and a lot of hits, some of which came after the play, in the last Islander game

He has missed practices for some recovery since then; he may very well be able to play but considering how it went down last time (just mentioned) it makes even more sense to let him take the night off so as to not risk re-aggravation

 

[Allan92]

First game in 10 years, all the way from Dublin, would have loved to see Lundqvist tonight one more time but still pumped beyond belief

LGR

 

[Maximus]

We better see Lemmy reunited with his buddies Chytil and KK otherwise all those nice things I've been saying about Quinn the past day or so will go kaput and he and I will start having some problems with one another.

 

[RGY]

No Panarin = Big fat L

 

[Hire Sather]

I want to wipe the smile off every Islanders fan's face when they found out he was out

Urgh, no Panarin likely makes this a much less enjoyable watch.
Will be interesting to see how the team plays without him. And the top 6 should be interesting if Buch is still sick

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

ugh no Panarin? This is going to suck.

 

[will1066]

No Bread tonight. So we put in a Detroit-level performance tonight eh?
