Couple of updates today. Brassard back on the ice at the Rangers morning skate, expected to be fine. Also it appears that Falk and Diaz will be healthy scratches, along with Carcillo (Katie Strang).
Steve Mason on the other hand, did not make it out and it appears the Flyers will go with Ray Emery tomorrow night. If it is indeed Emery in net....here's hoping the Rangers throw everything & the kitchen sink at the net.
I disagree with playing Fast over Carcillo. Especially against these scumbags. Carcillo has done a really good job of stirring the pot while also being smart and avoiding the stupid stuff.
No disrespect to Fast. He's finished his checks and back-checked hard. Id just prefer the experience and grit.
Interesting. Wasn't aware of that. Thanks, Paul.
If true, I think AV looks kind of silly about the whole Miller treatment/callout etc.

If Fast is in for Kreider, then Miller must be in for Carcillo.
And I'd sit Klein over Diaz. Klein's got moar grit, but not like he's some bad ass out there and I like Diaz's game over his. Moore and Diaz would make for a pretty quick thrid pair that can both shoot the puck..
No way I'd sit Klein. No offensive game, but he has really been solid on the defensive end. I'll forego Rafi-bomb's offensive presence for KK's D.
Moore has played well since his return and has more size, strength and nasty than Diaz. Third pair should be Klein-Moore unless they prove ineffective.
Can we drop the fucking puck already?
Haggerty highlights - ( New Window )
The pens overall seem better, but they nose dive when their big guns aren't on the ice..
Circa 2009-10 and earlier. Emery's only game against us this year was a 4 goal affair. His game before that against us was 3/2012, where he let in 3 goals.
He has hip issues and like I said in the other thread he struggles to go post to post. We should be able to exploit him...
4-0 in my last 4, I will be starting Game 1 tomorrow night just for you, you fuckin crybaby.
Anyway.. I'd much rather Carcillo than Fast.. I don't think Fast is ready. Especially not for playoff level shit. So that's kind of a bummer if that's the direction AV is going.
Fast certainly looked ready during his latest stint with the team.
but i'm not sure you're they guy i want on the hill taking the ball for Game 1. No offense, but we didnt have to play game 163 just to get here. We had time to set the rotation - and I want my best player out there leading the charge.
'Beard should get the call.

Brett should get the call.
Agreed.
nbc wanted game 2 for sunday or we would of played saturday
Let's fuckin go Rangers
Was she hot? Pics or GTFO.
Flyers will goon it up. Not having Kreiders size skill and toughness hurts
Just need this day to go by quickly. Excited to be starting a series in MSG too. Despite all the playoff appearances since the lockout, it only happened in 2012.

I agree, but Kreider's lack of discipline concerns me (When he does return - if we get that far).
This day cannot possibly go fast enough. Let's fuckin go.
She sounds terrible.
Then I hope I don't shave until June.
3...2....1
Wait... did Hank gets another STD 2-3 day 'illness' that will keep him out? He's usually good for 1-2 of these a year (and I'm jealous)

According to SeatGeek.com, there is a huge gap in the prices for tickets already sold on the secondary market between the games slated for Madison Square Garden and those at Wells Fargo Center. The games in New York (Games 1, 2 and, if necessary, 5 and 7) are averaging a sale price of $257.03, while the games in Philly (Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 6) are averaging $131.63.
“So far, 30 percent of ticket buyers for [Games 3 and 4] have come from the NYC metro area,” said SeatGeek’s Connor Gregoire. “By comparison, only 4 percent of ticket buyers for Games 1 and 2 at MSG have come from the Philly metro area.
“Based on those numbers, it’s fair to expect much more of a Rangers-fan invasion in Philadelphia than vice versa.”
Surprising, Rangers in recent years haven't invaded local rinks, like DC, during playoff time. Wonder what is causing the buzz this season.
