NFT: NY Rangers vs Maple Loafs - 7:30p

You NEED B on that wall.

The teams that comes into the playoffs playing the best hockey generally go deep in the tournament. Let's win tonight against a good young team on the road.

Team has to be a little ticked they didnt come away with 2 points Tuesday night. Come out fired up and net 4+ goals. LEAVE NO DOUBT.

I'll be more focused on how the team looks than the score at the end of the game. NYR are about 12 points up on WC2 and dangerously close to 3rd in the Metro. I don't believe in tanking but if they can play well and lose a few along the way they'd be well served IMO.

Montreal game was a good example of that. Played well, Price stole the game, get only a point out of it. That works

Sounds like Clendening might be in for Klein based on warmups.

Boston, Florida... Ottawa seems to have staying power and Montreal when healthy will be a tough opponent.

I suppose i'd rather play road warriors through that division, but there's no easy road come playoff time and you are going to have to beat Pitt or Wash in a 7 game series eventually anyway.

The chips will fall where they may, and if we are beaten by one of them early in the playoffs again maybe it will get mgmt to take a more serious evaluation of this current Defense than it has to date. Positive thinking?

Anyway, lets go grab two points tonight. I want zero stress as I attend both games this weekend in Newark and home against CBJ.

But I'd really like you guys to win, preferably in regulation. Can you take care of that?

no Kleiner tonight... that's a shame. Take your time, KK!

Anything for my man, pga. Hey we will win the cup for you if you need.

I love the guy. Willing to take on an impossible task.

I do Carl. It's been down. The person who originally ran it stopped and it was run by someone else. I think it may be done - I checked godaddy and the registrant is cryptic.

Pg - lol my favorite day is coming where I applaud every islander move and lose my mind over the inevitable Shattenkirk trade.

bromance stuff, this is a hockey gamethread last time I checked.

Nash in all alone stoned and Kreider robbed ...please tell me it won't he one of those nights. Ok, I get it, a point or a loss isn't the worst thing but it's not easy to be half a fan.

They are shaky on defense and sometimes in the net but they can score 4 or even more goals many nights. Having said that, I think Rangers rebound from tough loss v. Montreal.

the time in the world to turn and fire one on net but chose to stand there with his back to the net for a 3 count and looked to pass.

like Fishs mouth pre blowjob there.

Drew.

and not get a goal. Andersen was incredible

Really magnitizes our D issues getting out of defensive zone

And bailed out by lundqvist

But can't finish, giving up a ton of high quality scoring chances mostly off our own fuck ups, and the power play still stinks.

Leafs have number 1 PP in league - given talent and experience level there is zero reason theirs should be so much better than ours. It's scheme and confidence... Both on coaches IMO.

But I don't like the Miller-Hayes-Grabner line.

Not enough sustained possession in the OZ. The shooting percentage is unsustainable.

It's probably been the most consistent and dynamic line over the last month or so. They've got good chemistry.

But he bugs the shit out of me sometimes.

Drive the god damn net and look to score.

??

Let's work out some kinks

Isn't it

.

Now let's get another!

Great team effort so far fellas.

coaches will topside the stats and rightly classify that as a PPG

Now let's toe the line for 9 minutes boys. Expect their best

That sounds really good right now.

I'd choose Zibby. Need to get him going in this final third of the season.

OK.

Now get the other one.

About frickin time. Let's go for a better result than Tuesday.

Shit would be broken by now with all the missed point blank chances.

Gimme

Zucc
Hayes
Vesey

It's a good idea but it's not remotely the same as winning in regulation. Just make reg wins 3 points already and fans who understand the game can sit back and really enjoy this more.

What a display of goaltending!

was that a wild ride! Was Zuccie on the ice for 4 of the 5 minutes?

wild, keepers standing on their heads

Has the puck on a fucking string

B IN ALBUQUERQUE!

but it's fucking awesome.
