lol @RangerDoggo

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

One of six teams in NHL HISTORY to have 21 or more wins through 26 games.

MSG broadcast showed that right as the game ended.

But how many of those ended up winning the cup?

 

[Saugus]

I haven't seen a team look as disinterested as Chicago did in awhile.

Not hard to imagine why. Bottom of their division, clearly tanking, and in for a long rebuild. And their captain was out tonight to boot.

Only a couple guys on the Hawks I thought were dangerous at all tonight: Kane and Athanasiou.

 

[Bleedred]

STL is beating up on NYI so the boys better be ready.

Very astute observation

The NYb will be our toughest test yet. They took us lightly the last time we played them. We were just 1-2-0 coming into that game. They'll play us much harder this time.

 

[FooteBahl]

ALL OF THEM!

I actually have no idea, but the response seemed appropriate lol

One thing for certain. The Isles are a lot different than the Trotz years. Almost wide open hockey at times. Will get our share of chances for sure.

I love the Lindy Ruff redemption arc

If you looked way for a minute, it's a very different game now. 5-4

Tick tock. Tick tock. Time is ticking on this fluke run. Looking at the upcoming schedule, I can easily pencil in 8 or 9 losses in the remaining 10 games of 2022. Devils will once again be spreading anything BUT holiday cheer. I‘m getting sick of this shit.

Enjoy it while it lasts. The beast that is the Rags were awoken by St. Loser last night.

Buckle up. It's gonna be quite a roller coaster the rest of the way.

And lots of other tough contests coming up. NYb, Rags, Rawly, BOS, DAL (Pete won't lose to us, just like Hynes wouldn't) and FLA.

Jesus Christ. And that’s 2 straight against Boston right around Christmas. Talk about getting a lump of coal in your stocking for the holidays. The Bruins are going to rip this puny team limb from limb. We saw how Torts and his henchmen rag dolled us on Saturday. It’s not going to be pretty.

I can't wait for the school festival and fighting tournament arcs that come in volumes 7-14

 

[Bleedred]

For some reason I can't post the Ranger Doggo dog, nor the Mutt over Manhattan. The site doesn't like my files for those for some reason.

Torts let us get away with one, unlike Hynes. Pete won't let it happen either. And every time the NJD go down to FLA they treat it as a vacation and not a business trip. Just like when they go to AZ. Team is always a sad sack of sorry in games down there and AZ. COL as well. Rawly also. What a death stretch we have coming up.

 

[OmNomNom]

Oh thank you St Louis

 

[Bleedred]

Oh thank you St Louis

Judging by the scoreline, it looks like the Islanders ALMOST came back in that game in the final minutes.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Just flabbergasted by this team.

What a turn around from last year

 

[Emperoreddy]

10 points ahead of the Canes for the Metro lead. 14 points ahead of the Rangers and the playoff line

I hope they're gassed from that last push they made

 

[Saugus]

I thought Spaulding had a good observation about the Devils continuing to roll out the third and fourth lines repeatedly late in the third, giving the top 6 a bit of a break. Speaks volumes about Ruff's well-placed trust in the quality of our depth forwards.

Realistically it’s 8. I don’t have faith in the Ducks.

Carolina plays the Ducks tonight so it will be back down to 8 tonight

That was one of the easiest wins I remember. I was never on the edge of my seat

Well the last five to seven minutes of the 1st period they had a surge and Vanacek had to make a number of tough stops. And we made some turnovers and they were generally quicker to the loose pucks too in that stretch.

But the great thing was how we calmly adjusted and took the game over in the 2d period. Funny how we were an absolutely horrible 2d period club last year; while this year we are statistically the best in the NHL. That right there is a huge reason we are where we are right now.
