NFT: NY Rangers at Los Angeles Kings - tonight 10:30p

B in ALB : 3/25/2017 9:13 pm
Look - I lost the last game in OT vs the Wrenches and this goes against tradition. But it's an hour and change from puck drop and you guys are too busy picking your asses or watching the Notebook with your boyfriends. It's unacceptable. Do you not want to win? Do you want another loss? This would be 6 losses in 8 games if the Rangers lose tonight. Is that ok with you? You don't care anymore? I don't get it.

Reach down, grab your crotch and see if anything is there. If you come up with a handful of balls, then let's go.

If you come up with nothing but air, feck oaf and go watch curling on NBCtheOcho or tell your boyfriend that, "It's fine, I'll just miss the game again, Ryan Gosling is super duper cute and boy oh boy, is that Rachel McAdams some kind of actress. I tooohtally loved her in Mean Girls too! This movie never loses its watchability even after over a dozen viewings with you in the last two months. Want another White Zin, my love? How about I shave your legs?"

LGR.

I came up with a F'in Ice cold PBR... no air furry Balls Baby!

And rootin' hard for a Rangers win.

LFGR... Let's Go. Back on the road... The road to a big win. Let's sweep this whole west coast trip and get down to business back at the Garden!

I so want that to be in Jenny Slate's voice.
I'll grow a pair when Jeff Gorton does

Until then this team is stuck in limbo anyway.
Could Grabner have missed the net any more badly than on that  
Anakim : 3/25/2017 11:06 pm : link
breakaway?
This team misses the net  
B in ALB : 3/25/2017 11:07 pm : link
constantly. It's ridiculous at this point.
Ok, I'm starting to really question whether Grabner can hit the net  
Anakim : 3/25/2017 11:13 pm : link
Those were two horrible misses at point blank range
Grabner by the pussy  
B in ALB : 3/25/2017 11:14 pm : link
Is not grabbing anything tonight.
Step somehow  
Stufftherun : 3/25/2017 11:56 pm : link
finds the back of the net but that shift belonged to Zuccie!
Can't say it enough  
Stufftherun : 3/26/2017 12:34 am : link
but winning a faceoff in the O zone is so key and it directly leads to a goal. How about another one here?!
Garbage call on Nash  
Stufftherun : 3/26/2017 12:36 am : link
.
Kreider with one  
Stufftherun : 3/26/2017 12:41 am : link
of his foolish and unnecessary penalties.
Kreider again?  
B in ALB : 3/26/2017 1:00 am : link
Come on.
Grabner missing an EN  
Stufftherun : 3/26/2017 1:06 am : link
but Nash finds it. Nice way to start the road trip ...good job stepping up B!
The road warriors win again  
dpinzow : 3/26/2017 1:07 am : link
27 road wins which is either already a franchise record or very close to one
Wish they didn't just default right back  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 1:08 am : link
to the Girard/McD pair. Would like to see G with Skeji for a bit
Good win though  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 1:10 am : link
But the Kings offense is brutal. Carter is basically the only guy who can score and they have some truly awful contracts on the books like Gaborik and Brown. Wonder if they could be a trade partner this offseason for the Rangers

Other than Carter, who would be a good fit for the Rangers? (they're never trading Doughty)
And obviously they're never trading Quick...  
dpinzow : 3/26/2017 1:18 am : link
Have to imagine the Rangers would be interested in a first or second line center or Shattenkirk in the offseason

Played well tonight. He deserves some props.
Of course not  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 1:21 am : link
But they're pretty deep with serviceable young defensemen, and maybe some draft picks could be in play too, with one of our forwards going the other way.

Nash for their first rounder and a defenseman and we cover some salary. Total speculation but they might be desperate enough as they still think they're in their window
Nash scored a goal at the Staples Center?

I was just joking around. Still haunted by the SCF in 2014.
By the way ...

where was Sam Rosen last night? I didn't hear Albert or Micheletti mention his absence.

I hope it's not a health issue for the man, and I'm sure many here stand by Sam, but I find his pbp monotonous, predictable: too many "Great save by Lundquist (or Raanta, or xx the opposing goalie). More often than not those great saves are solid positioning saves, nothing more, or less. I also find him doing the same with the lines or d-men, so when a really good play happens, it's call is diluted.

I wouldn't expect an employee of MSG to be completely free of homer-itis, still....

Center? We are the envy of 22 teams in the league today with our top 3 (maybe top 4) centers. Maybe they will try to trade Stepan for some size up the middle... Not sure.... But if Stepan isn't already a number 1, then he's a 1a that teams can win a cup with.

Love our forwards - just wish we had one guy like the recent cup champions (and caps) do that when he touched the puck the opposing crowd took notice / held their breath

Could say the same thing about the Rangers: the contracts of Hank, Staal and DG are all albatrosses. Those guys all have negative trade because of their contracts--meaning you would have to pay someone to take them even if they waived their NMC.

Downside is that unlike the Kings, this Rangers team has not won a cup. Upside is Rangers have a lot of young talent and should be a top-10 team for the next five years. The question is will those bad contracts prevent their signing the top dman they need to get over the top.
Hank most certainly does not  
Kyle in NY : 3/26/2017 5:39 pm : link
have negative trade value. Don't think it's fair at all to lump him in with the other two.
B forgot we had a game tonight against the Ducks  
Anakim : 3/26/2017 7:15 pm : link
Klein in for Girardi
B forgets nothing.
