It’s going to be a building filled with Rangers fans. Oh for sure. I have seen the Rangers in literally every building in the Eastern Conference. And aside from the local stops (NYI, NJ and even BOS) and Florida, Carolina is probably where I saw the most Ranger fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Just a heads up, I just read that Jordan Martinook is in COVID protocol for Carolina, so he’ll be missing this game. Edited January 21, 2022 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they have been one of the top three team in the division, conference and top five in league. It's not like they haven't beaten the best teams before.

Kick save and a beauty Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 This is a good test coming at the right time. Can't sleepwalk into the first period in this one like we did on Wednesday night. If we nail this one you can expect the bandwagon to start filling up with all those "wise-men" analysts who have been nonbelievers all year.

Come on Ozzy, where's your prediction for this game? Well, the rest of the season is basically prep for the playoffs. Much like last game, this one already feels like it's a playoff matchup. Since the Tampa sweep, I think the Rangers have proven they belong with the big boys, but the second half of the season will determine if they are one of the biggest boys.

I agree, that the Rangers have proven they are one of the top boys in the league during the first half of the season. That's not a small achievement with new coaching staff, essentially different team and playing style/system. The progress had been remarkable, especially when compared to yesteryear's Rangers. They are still progressing, still need to address the ever present lack of consistency, but I don't see them faltering in the second half. The 'canes winning record mainly due to starting the season with 9-0. They are one of the top teams, nonetheless, and so are the Rangers. It'll be a close game with the Rangers winning, LGR!!

Come on Ozzy, where's your prediction for this game? Big one tonight, boys!! No doubt! No downplaying this one. I'll bet this date has been circled on the calendar for about a month now. My prediction is simple; We're going to play a very tough, hard game against a solid team that like Pete said, is streaking right now. Carolina is one of the best and this game is a great measuring stick at this point in the year. I feel a Kakko night is upon us, @Pete. Tonight is the night we kick this fucker's career into high gear. No shit! It's time! Games like this is where you need guys to "show up". Kakko can do that! ...and he's gonna tonight! Also watch for a great game from Trouba. This is a game where his hits, and timely standing up at the blueline can make a huge difference. We're taking this one tonight, guys....I see a 4-2 victory with Goodrow into an empty net! 1 hour ago, Phil said: Trivia is Frantisek Kaberle.

leetchy2 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Canes win 5-1. Goal scorers for Carolina are Fast, Stepan, D'Angelo, Skjei & Smith, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Blue Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Funny to see Stepan on the 4L at wing very good D player and can take important draws if C gets kicked their stats are crazy good i wish we had Fast at wing still. He was a real good fit with 10 & 16 LGR and for my first effort at trivia Thomas Sandstrom Edited January 21, 2022 by Go Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Ozzy, where's your prediction for this game? Havent played the Caps since opening night, havent played the Canes (until tonight), or the Penguins yet, those would be the measuring stick games the rest of the way since its the teams they are battling with for the division, and im sure those opposing teams are thinking the same thing vs. the Rangers.

And listen, they’re not gonna win all of them. Hell, they’ll probably have one or 2 where they come out flat and get smashed like a pancake. But, they need to show up. These are such good lessons for how life is going to be in a playoff series. Not a lot of space, not a lot of time. Can’t live and die via special teams. Need to go out there, get after it for a full 60 and skate with these teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
