Good afternoon, everyone.
Rangers looking to bounce back after a 5-1 home loss to Buffalo. No big deal. These things happen. Red Wings have a bit of a win streak of their own (3) and after tonight's game, we head into the weekend with a Sat Sunday game.
great that Fox is back. Kakko will be missed. Even though he hasn't been scoring, he's a solid all around player who does the little things.
Agreed. Last game reminded me of years past...A strong game tonight and I will become a believer...
Doubt it, Lavi says he is a full go on no restrictions.
I think they bounce back tonight with Fox on defense. I'm not thrilled with Brodzinski on the third line, but he can't be much worse than Kakko.
Is this NYG facing the backup QB?
Igor still looks off to me, going down too quick, too often
Put the lube away...GOAL!
Vesey’s found a nice home on that 4th line. Really nice to see.
Squad might have something this year
And he blew a wheel, got up, got back in the play, and got the shot off. Huge hustle play on his part led to the game winner. Great to see.
I was thinking the same thing. Laf’s passing has been incredible and he’s been so active and noticeable on the ice. Wonderful to see.
Two gorgeous set up passes to Panarin who converted the second one.
Who would you replace him with / how would you rearrange the lines?
Well no one asked you
On my thread?
Just as long as we win

They can afford to roster a mostly washed player like him given the contract and their cap situation, but get him the hell off that line and get his minutes way down.

Nobody. Some people just always need a whipping boy on the Rangers to bitch about, regardless of how well they are playing.

Probably Vesey in the short term. There isn’t an ideal answer given the injuries, but Wheeler can’t even skate anymore. At least you know you’re going to get max effort and back-check from a guy like Vesey.

I have rarely logged a single complaint about the Rangers this season. This might be my first, in fact.
Wheeler’s play was awful last night. The second goal was so squarely on him that my 9 year old was able to call it out.
At this point the sample size isn’t that small. Body of work says this isn’t a guy who you want getting top line minutes or sandbagging guys like Mika and Kreider.
Good chirp though.
