NFT: New York Rangers @ Calgary Flames Game Thread

BrettNYG10 : 12/16/2014 8:26 am
Haven't seen speculation as to who's the starter tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Lundqvist again given his easy night Sunday.

Flames have lost five in a row. Fuck them.

Western Canadian trip at 3-0. Got a bad Carolina team for a home and home this weekend. Time to start rattling off a nice winning streak.

Yeah, we end the year on a pretty easy schedule, but have a tougher January with the California trip. We're playing better of late, particularly McDonagh and Staal.
Rangers need to come at them like gangbusters  
MadPlaid : 12/16/2014 8:33 am : link
Don't let them breathe. Can't let the Flames think they have a shot at ending their losing streak. Nothing lets the air out of a struggling team more than knocking them down early.

Hope the day off refreshed them a bit

They looked slow and uninterested in Edmonton, but playing a horrendous team will do that. Calgary's warts are beginning to show after a hot start, but they can't be taken lightly. I'd also expect to see Henrik in net tonight. With a 9pm start I may actually get to see the whole game tonight. ;)
Any idea when Brassard will return?  
BestFeature : 12/16/2014 12:01 pm : link
With Lundqvist, McD and Staal playing better and our offense being the best it's been in years, this team can be special.
Agree  
PaulN : 12/16/2014 1:51 pm : link
This team does have a shot at being special, when they play a good game they seem to be able to beat anyone this season. I have been a Ranger fan since the 1966 season and I have never seen the Rangers with so many good young players, I have to admit that Sather took time, but he has built a very good team and organization. I have had my share of criticism toward Sather, hopefully I was all wrong. They are a very well rounded team now, they have good forwards, good defensemen, and good goaltending and they can beat you in many ways now. I am hoping that they can now take off from here also. I love what JT Miller and Kevin Hayes have added to this team, some size and skill to go along with Nash and Kreider. If they can get through these next three games, today and this weekend, then Brassard should be ready to return.

Brassard apparently hasn't even been 'confirmed' with the mumps. They'll know by the end of the week, so he may be looking at a return next week against the Devils.
wow... not until Devils?  
MetsAreBack : 12/16/2014 2:21 pm : link
i didnt realize this was a two week "injury" that blows, wanted him back by the Caps game.
I'm only guessing since he hasn't been officially  
BrettNYG10 : 12/16/2014 2:22 pm : link
Diagnosed. I'm probably wrong.
what the hell is with all the mumps?  
Greg from LI : 12/16/2014 2:28 pm : link
Is it 1940 now and I just didn't know?
Apparently Hunwick is in for Moore

As much as I like John Moore  
Stufftherun : 12/16/2014 2:43 pm : link
and his physical abilities I'm not sure he'll ever reach his full potential. I can see him being moved before it's all said and done.
Or yellow fever  
bigbluehoya : 12/16/2014 3:06 pm : link
It's like the Oregon Trail out here.
John Moore is just talented enough to keep getting unwarrented  
Greg from LI : 12/16/2014 4:26 pm : link
chances. He has all the tools to be a plus defenseman, but just isn't very good. I don't know why that is, and he's still young enough to turn himself around with someone else, but his time on Broadway is drawing to a close.
....  
BrettNYG10 : 12/16/2014 4:29 pm : link
Moore had a few streaks of high quality play last year. Haven't really liked him this year. Seems constantly out of position.

Man, I loved playing Oregon Trail

Beau Bennett now has the mumps  
MetsAreBack : 12/16/2014 6:30 pm : link
but fuck the Penguins. Seriously though the dude visited a children's hospital over the weekend (obviously, he didnt yet know / have symptoms)... so this is a little scary.

Fuckin wish they had a better vaccine out there for this shit. It was cute at first but now its annoying.
I'm pretty sure the vaccines we have  
bigbluehoya : 12/16/2014 7:54 pm : link
Are effective.

The issue is the irresponsible, dangerous people who don't get vaccinated.
The vaccine is a lot better than nothing,  
yatqb : 12/16/2014 8:01 pm : link
but even after a booster shot it's only 88% effective, if I recall correctly.

Heard on radio driving home that Rangers have had this exact three game road trip something like 20 times and have NEVER gone 3-0.
Time to put an end  
Stufftherun : 12/16/2014 8:50 pm : link
to that western Canadian streak and make it a clean sweep.

Could do with never seeing or hearing another Johnny Gaudreau interview. Sheesh, he must have broken a record with his repeated, "ya know" this and "ya know" that.
Calgary D-men  
bigbluehoya : 12/16/2014 9:04 pm : link
Like to pinch and like to score. Hopefully we can beat them up in transition.
Game not on in Albany again  
B in ALB : 12/16/2014 9:06 pm : link
Fucking great.

Instead we get the horrific Sabres and some Australian running show.

Fuck. You.

I guess I won't complain that Center Ice is only providing the game in standard def.
Both teams looking pretty good

In the early going
Nashty!!

Nasher!!!

WOOOOOO NASH

Homeboy is just fucking killing it right now
Rick Nash is fucking unreal.

SO GOOD.
TRJT really  
Stufftherun : 12/16/2014 9:35 pm : link
looks like a different player ...playing with lots of confidence.
That speed a skill by Nash

Was special
Jeez  
bigbluehoya : 12/16/2014 9:42 pm : link
I'll take it
Kreider  
Servo : 12/16/2014 9:43 pm : link
makes something of that crappy power play! 2-0
Kreids!  
arcarsenal : 12/16/2014 9:43 pm : link
I thought Russell put that in his own net
The PP has  
Stufftherun : 12/16/2014 9:43 pm : link
looked like shit but we'll take it!

Let's hope that gets CK going.
....  
BrettNYG10 : 12/16/2014 9:45 pm : link
That was a weak call and terrible power play.

Glad to see Kreider score. McDonagh is looking good.

Can we just buy B Center Ice?
Wow, really didn't play a very good period  
Kyle in NY : 12/16/2014 9:45 pm : link
But come out up 2-0
Sheesh, how do you like that?!  
yatqb : 12/16/2014 9:45 pm : link
Playing poorly but still up 2-0. We should decline power plays at this point, though...fuckin' ugly.

why don't you buy it forB after that big promotion you got? Or did you spend it on hookers and blow?

Spent it on hookers and blow.
Not sure how the rangers played poorly  
bigbluehoya : 12/16/2014 9:49 pm : link
They played a brutal final minute, but other than that they were very solid
Really didn't generate anything  
Kyle in NY : 12/16/2014 9:53 pm : link
sustained offensively, didn't have the puck much, turnovers, odd man rushes, not winning board battles. That's what I saw, didn't play a very good period. No matter though, I'll take the two goal lead.

It gets blacked out up here for Rangers games. The fuckin guide says it's supposed to be on. But the cum dumpsters from Buffalo are on instead.
Just sloppy... not enough puck possession.  
arcarsenal : 12/16/2014 9:56 pm : link
Glad we got the goals and capitalized on our chances. We can and should play better in the 2nd and 3rd.

How the fuck does that work? It should be on Center Ice if it's not locally available.
