NFT: NY Rangers at NJ Devils - today 5p

B in ALB : 2/25/2017 3:25 pm
I'm just going to throw this out there for the crowd. Don't even fucking TRY to tell me this stupid devils logo doesn't look like a goddamned crescent wrench lounging with one leg folded up all relaxed-like. It's ridiculous.



The Lounging Wrenches are a perfect 25-25-10, 7th place in the Metro, coming off two losses. The Rangers had a thriller SO win, causing MAB's carrot to finally poke its little head out.

Game is on MSG hopefully. Headed to the gym to work off some anger. But I'm sure I'll be nice and pissed off again in an hour and a half. And we don't need any dupe assholes (you know who you are) and anaks trying to force themselves into the lineup. Stick to cleaning the locker room toilets and sniffing jock straps.

And if the squad can't beat the New Jersey Lounging Wrenches tonight I don't know what to say about the state of the universe at this point.

LGR.

Shots on goal is 27-26 Rangers

So can't be too hard on Raanta, but Schneider had to make much tougher saves

Who sucks exactly? They could beat us 9-2 and we're playoff bound and they're not for what, a 4th straight season?

Be thankful. Clearly, CBJ are getting all their goals out of the way tonight. Apparently, they didn't get the memo that teams coming out of their mandated 5-day break are supposed to lose.

Well, this thread was good for one thing

You bet your ass I was watching the third period and OT from the capital grille over a nice steak Drewcon! What an insane move by zibanejad

I kind of regret not going now - those devil fan (one) tears would have tasted delicious
Zibby!!!  
Stufftherun : 2/25/2017 7:38 pm : link
Ripped the joy right out of the Red Wrench fans who no doubt thought they'd sneak out with 2 points after taking the lead late into the 3rd.

That would have been sweet but you made the right choice. That sounds delicious. Cheers my man
Hope that opens the floodgates for Zibby  
Greg from LI : 2/25/2017 7:43 pm : link
He's been snakebit ever since the injury.

Klein needs to never see the ice again. Adam Herman, the atats guy at BSB, posted the numbers for the Skjei/Clendening combo. While the sample is small, ghe results are terrific.
Tomorrow night is so interesting  
MetsAreBack : 2/25/2017 7:43 pm : link
Clearly in both teams interest to lose but both saved their #1 goalies for the game, it's the last of 5 meetings this year, competitive juices, still over 20 games left so can't exactly play for seeding yet, etc

Clendening Has earned if not a permanent role than at least a 20 game showcase here with the playoffs locked for everyone to see if he can be relied upon come playoff time. I think he's better than both Klein and Girardi already personally. Hence my Wally pipp references above
What an incredible sports day  
MetsAreBack : 2/25/2017 7:49 pm : link
- nyr
- Duke loses
- UNC clinches #1 seed in ACc tournament
- looks like caps will lose (I know they will still win division but I love seeing them lose)
- I mean I do generally like bbi's islanders contingent but it is fun seeing them give up a touchdown today

Hopefully the flyers can wrap up this sports day by gooning up the pens tonight
Good shit out there B  
bigbluehoya : 2/25/2017 7:58 pm : link
I'd have gladly taken just the 1 point there, but glad to take the win if it generates some momentum for Ziba

Clendening made a handful of easy puck retrievals that led to zone exits where Girardi/Klein/Staal would have rather retreated or turned it into a 50/50 proposition. It's such a massive difference.

Hell, never mind Klein, Girardi could just as well thrown a tent over Raanta on the Devils' 2nd and 3rd goals and not blocked the goalie's line of sight any better.
Steady fans Adam here.

The Rangers have gone big at each of the past four deadlines, trading three first-rounders, four second-rounders, a world-class sniper (Marian Gaborik), a captain on an expiring contract (Ryan Callahan) and two prospects (Anthony Duclair and Aleksi Saarela) for Derick Brassard, Derek Dorsett, Ryane Clowe, Marty St. Louis, Keith Yandle and Eric Staal. (John Moore came and went in separate transactions.)


Anyone have issue with Brooksie's Elite 8? I certainly don't mind MAB's road to the quarters' via the WC, but Chicago, Minnesota, and SJ ahead of NYR??

I think he has CBJ too low. I resisted buying in to them for so long, but man that team has everything. I'm so jealous of Werenski and Jones as a D pair (19 and 22 year old Americans playing at an elite level) and they have scorers, grinders, size, youth, veterans.

My sleeper (can they be a sleeper?) now to win it all. I only say sleeper because being in a division with PIT, WAS, NYR, you can get lost in the shuffle.

Only thing they don't have is playoff experience (as a team).

For a second straight year the Stanley cup finals are in the second round.

Only question is if the winner - be it Washington getting through likely NYI (which has played them tough for years) and Pitt/nyr/CBJ or the unlucky 2/3 seed having to likely play two top 3 teams in the entire NHL ... Will remain healthy for the easier series that would come in the ECF and SCF.

As for the Atlantic it's an easier road but Ottawa and Boston do look good lately. Florida I thought had turned the corner going 5-0 on a recent road trip beating 5 western playoff teams .. But they've since shit the bed at home to Edmonton and Calgary. Not sure who they are - maybe it's demoralizing to play so well and then come home to an empty arena who knows.

90% agree, and 10% is to allow for the fact a hot goalie and team peaking at the right time in the NHL has won more than a few Stanley cups.

Blackhawks aren't a pushover and Toews might be playing the best hockey of his career, SJ has a solid veteran team and maybe the NHL's best overall player (right now), and as bad as they've played since Dec 1, the Canadiens still IMO have the best goalie on the planet even if he isn't playing like it right now. Really matters how you're playing in 6 weeks from now (if you get in, that's the key).

Also I wouldn't write-off Nashville. Solid team top to bottom, who has somewhat under performed (maybe due to injury), but is getting healthy.

But 90% agree with you.

But this game is more expensive for some reason than most msg games. I'm not taking the fucking no transit and stepping foot in Newark for a $200 upper deck ticket. Sorry.

Given how bad the Devils are I'm assuming ticket prices are high due to what should be solid Rangers fan presence at this one. I'm sure golden tee can get us an exact crowd split later.

Let's get another two points - still a little early yet to worry about seeding.

Sorry I was @ the Pens-Flyers game-I can give you the splits on that if you want?
I'll rely on you folks on the Rangers % @ NJ.
