QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“I think the confidence building is now we’ve played two games that we’ve had a pretty consistent effort from our whole lineup basically. There’s no passengers and that’s I think what we feel better about, is that we’re building our game in that way. We’re playing with good teams, we’re playing well, Igor’s playing great, we’re not giving up a ton of chances — we’re giving up some — but it’s going to happen. Finding ways to win and that’s the most important thing.”

 

— Jacob Trouba after the 2-1 win vs. TBL

Start Igor 

[CBrowningPI]

It'll be interesting to see who misses more grade A chances  Stepan or Strome.

[Keirik]

ADA might be back tonight

 Ook Parr in their morning skate 

[Valriera]

Look at that third line. That’s the difference right there 

[The Dude]

Love that there's 2 Dryden Hunts listed in the lineup. Both with poop emojis. Double the Hunt. Double the poop. God he stinks.

 

Mark Laforest for trivia. 

 

Lafreniere scores 5 goals

 

Sam talks about coke and hookers on the road when Joe brings up traveling with the team as a player. 

[BrooksBurner]

Hunt was excellent last night along with Goodrow and Chytil. In fact, that 3rd line combo was excellent. Hope it continues tonight.

That roster... Stepan as the 4th line center. We have Mckegg.  Drury needs to get some real depth.

With Panarin and Strome yes. As a bottom 6 energy player and forechecker, I haven’t seen enough to agree or disagree. Last night he was effective.

Well his equivalent in the other side tonight are perennial excellent hockey players Jordan staal and Jesper fast, alongside fifth overall pick and career 0.5p/g player nino neiderreiter. Any chance he ever gets as good as those guys? I think we all know the answer for our entire bottom six right now, not just hunt.

Really hope it happens because we’re looking at another embarrassing evening tonight and in the playoffs without that unless our elite five or so guys magically turn into gods

Indeed, they had a real good game. Chytil played real good, hope he can make it last but have doubts.

[Ozzy]

Trivia is D'Angelo!!!  LOL

[Sod16]

Two starts on the road 22 hours apart.  There needs to be a rule against that.  At least 24 hours!

[deejaid]

Interesting that NHL.com is showing Keith Kinkaid as the starter today in the scouting report section.   Georgie being moved?

Yes, Carolina’s 3rd line is obviously very good. I’m not sure why that’s the barometer for a solid 3rd line though. I would venture that 28-30 other teams fall short of matching their 3rd line. It might even be the best 3rd line in the NHL. The Rangers are better than they are in certain areas too.

Is the question who should have been kept instead of Georgiev last fall??? 

[deejaid]

The more I looked at it I think they just list Kinkaid in the scouting report section as he has the lowest GAA (2.00) on the team.

 

Had my hopes up for a minute that they were able to dump Georgiev on someone.

[Drew a Penalty]

Damn. Look at all those former Rangers I miss. And then there's Brady Skjei.

Well surely there's just one player on their entire third line that would seem like a fair comparison, right? I mean while we're talking about holes we need to fill in order to seriously think about winning this year, surely just one single third line player on the best team in the conference is a fair comparison, right?

Yea.  Kinky started for the Pack on Friday, pulled after 12 minutes giving up 3 goals on 5 shots.  Then started again last night.  Even if Geo is traded, Kinky isn't starting for us tonight.

[CBrowningPI]

If Geo doesn't give up a softie in the 1st period we win this 4-2. LGR's !!

He's gotta be someone in managements nephew. No team would put up with his overall uselessness over the course of a season in the top 6 and continue to play him. 

 

Ok he did something last night. Great. I'm tired of seeing him and I'm tired of people propping him up. He's not very good. 13th forward on any other team, but here he is on the 3rd line after months of getting a top 6 role. He doesn't bring enough to warrant playing time.  I'd rather see Gauthier.
