No thank you. I'm going to the game in Boston on Saturday, and I want to see Vanecek and a win.
I might have to pull a @Bleedred and yell insults from the stands if Badwood sucks against the Bruins and we lose because of it.
GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (49-21-8, 106 Points, 2nd in Metro) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets (24-45-8, 56 Points, 8th in Metro), 7 PM, MSGSN2

I constantly have said they should hang a couple of banners for 2019
Like ''SWEPT PRESIDENTS TROPHY WINNER IN FIRST ROUND: 2018-2019''
''WON A PLAYOFF SERIES: 2018-2019''
I keep erroneously saying that 2019 is their only playoff series win, but it's actually not. They won the stupid bullshit play-in round in 2020 up in Toronto, which came in a year where I don't even think they were gonna make the playoffs if the actual season had played out? They were still on pace for a 95 point team, but that would have been good enough for 6th in the Metro that year, as hard as that is to believe. The Rangers were on pace for 93 points that year and a 7th place Metro finish. That was a WHACKY year even before the pause. Last year every East playoff team had 100 points, but 100 points wasn't actually needed to make the playoffs that year. I think the Islanders had the most points for a non-playoff team in the East and they had only 84 points. So a wild card team very well could have made it in with 90-92 points last year.
Anyway, I constantly forget they beat the Leafs in the play-in round that year. Which has also prolonged the Leafs number of years without a playoff series win.
That's just more fodder right there to fire Keefe and Dubas if they don't make it out of the first round this year, which I kept talking about last night.
You are getting to be like @glenwo2 with Bratt. Your over thr top cheerleading for Blackwood isn’t going unnoticed by the rest of us.

I would just be happy if he never played a game for us again and we called somebody else up to start any potential game that Vitek wasn't gonna start.

It's really become clear that the staff really has no faith in the guy anymore.
I thought for sure he would have been playing tonight, but perhaps the fact that the Hawks made it a little too interesting the night he was in there, combined with the fact that this is not a back to back has really just shifted them to give Vitek the start.
I'd like to say the Rangers winning last night might have also had something to do with it, as there's less breathing room and margin for error to have a game punted by a terrible goaltender, but I don't think they quite think like that like us fans do.
I do expect there will be one more game this year out of the 3 after tonight, where Vitek does not get a start.
billy sweezey is definitely one of the worst hockey names ever.
'billy sweezey with a monster hit'
'billy sweezey 2min for fighting'

Just like your over the top cheerleading for Ben LoveJoy didn't go unnoticed either.

By the word of Bleedred, I'm cursing you, Mister McKenzie!

He looks like an AI-generated version of what Bill Guerin looked like 20 years ago: https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=178257
He totally does.
So in about 20 years, we can expect GM Billy Sweezey to be making baffling trades and even more baffling comments?

Win tonight along with a Rags lose should pretty much wrap up home ice.

I think SOMEONE will beat them again before the season ends.
If we can go 2-1-1 in the last 4 games (Definitely doable with this schedule) then that gives us 111 points. The Rangers need to take every remaining point to hit 111.

Second half of a back to back with Halak and they had to travel last night.
Opportunity here for a schedule lose

This is definitely right up there with Chicago to Winnipeg and I gotta think it's even more brutal than that.
But the Blues are pretty bad.

Blues look better with Vrana , Blais , Kapanen , than they did with O’Reilly and Tarasenko IMO.
I hope the Ex- Ranger players burn their old team (Buch , Blais)

Nashville would have to do us a favor to keep their playoff hopes alive

Looks like Mercer has stolen some of Jack’s mojo. Bad for Jack and good for Mercer.

Incoming 5 point game for Jack . 2G 3 A . Meier with the hat trick . Mercer stays hot and pots 2, Hamilton snipes 1 .
Devils win 74-2

I remember the game vs, the Blue Jackets, this year where the Devils dominated them for a full 60 minutes. Would like to see complete domination again. However, with the Bruins (The Beast of Hockey,) coming up next this could possibly be a trap game. The Devs need to come out and play like they did against Pittsburgh.
