Who needs structure when you can just move Vesey to the top line?

 

It's almost definitely sustainable success too!

[Sharpshooter]

It's not every day you get to play with a Hobey Baker winner!

[4EverRangerFrank]

Damn that became lots of fun.

Is that klions99?

[Ozzy]

Every year there's a game or two that sets the tone for a great run.  Tonight we looked like we're a team again.  Hopefully this is the game that lights a fire under our ass!!! 

I was really happy with the play of the "GGB line".  That 4th line wreaked some havoc out there, and potted a couple for good measure!

....And here are the Top 15 nominees for Ozzy’s Quote of the GDT, sponsored by Noxema:  Husso needed plenty for his sunburn from that red light behind the net tonight!!!

I hope she finished fucking dead last.

Gallant bring in hookers before the 3rd? What is this?

I gotta say, any one of these could win on any given night!  The Rangers may have sucked a Camel dick the last few games, but you guys have been dynamite with the humor!!

…and the winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to @leetchy2Leetchy2!! 

I think "Score-gasm" perfectly sums up the euphoria of that 3rd period tonight!!  Let's put a stake in the ground and build from here, fellas!!!

Lindgren back....Rangers rout!  Coincidence???  Hmmmmm....

No, judging by their enthusiasm, an order was put in to bring in the hookers for the Dads after the game.

 

I had the sound off most of the game (Sam fatigue).  Did they ever say who the Panarin "Dad" was.  He was raised by his grandparents, and I think his parents and grandparents are all gone.

 

Before the game, when I saw the 4th line of Goodrow centering Blais and Gauthier, I said this is the first time in ages that we are fielding a fourth line that I can live with.  First fourth line goal in Game 15.  I don't possibly see how they could go back to a 4th line with Carpenter and Reaves (unless they played for GG before...)

Kravsov is so weak on the puck. Breath on him and he goes down. Think GOAT should get a chance on that line and ship Krav to the A.

This aged well....

[Mdk154]

And just like that, Shesty has a better GAA than Husso 

[Sod16]

Hajek scores.  If that means Libor +1, what will the impact of goal have on the market in the morning?

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

What the hell happened here?? I fell asleep after the 2nd period. 8-2??? 6 goals in one period?? Gauthier, Hajek and Vesey scored the last 3??

 

I must still be dreaming because what the fuck.

This is what everyone in my company on the west coast woke up saying Wednesday too

Kid Line we’re a major spark. Good performances by all, produced some goals, drew some penalties, lots of OZ time. Glad they came in and showed up the way they did. Definitely keep them together.

Except that he had his best game yet,  fought through body contact to get shots on goal and win the puck to help set up goodrows goal.

 

I get people wanna get on the kid from last year,but time to move on. The team has...he has shown much more grit and comfort last 2 games. At some point people gotta actually see the positives overall and not rip the kid after 1 shift in a game because we can behind our screens.

I'm still intrigued by your ratio of Krav posts to everything else.

 

Regardless, his comment did age well because Gathier also had one of his best games as a Ranger and is much stronger and faster than Kravtsov. 

 

Kravtsov proved he can finish the game. He needs to do much more to deserve the amount of praise you heap on him, singularly.

Best line they’ve had since the playoffs began last year.  It was almost stupid of gallant to break that line up 

[Ozzy]

I'm totally digging that 4th line last night.  Goody between Goat, and Blais looked pretty good!

What's more is that the team showed more poise and patience with the puck, instead of shelling it off right away like it's a ticking grenade.  That 3rd period made me forget about a lot of the bad shit, but there's still lots of work to do with consistency and 5v5 play.  But at least it's a solid step forward.

 

Now let's take this act to Nashville and continue to build some consistency!

[Blue Heaven]

Must be a bit embarrassing for Trocheck and Kakko to be the only 2 forwards not to get a point last night.  Their dad's are gonna rip em.  .

 

Going to assume Halak will be in net tomorrow?

I actually dont praise him. None of my posts praise him other than being real that people need to give the kid time and stop living in September 2021. I have never said anything about him performing great, other than solid game last night. I just it humorous that people spend time on him so much because they hold grudges as fans. 

 

And gautier has been around a lot longer. I would expect him to be able to surpass him at this point. Not a good comparison.

I would assume Igor tomorrow and Halak Sunday. But, either way, it’ll be split. Could see it going either way.
