You want to make sure it’s a fun night to look back at.

Is smith being scratched confirmed?

 

[yrrebbor]

Make it five!

 

[eco's bones]

Boston's all banged up.

 

[nyr2k2]

Keep the momentum going. LGR.

 

[Fvital92]

One could hope that AV learned his lesson with personnel decisions.
Why changer our 3rd period's lines?

 

[NYRFAN218]

I don’t recognize half that Boston lineup. It’s filled with randomly generated NHL 18 players.

 

[Bob Richards]

I shake my fist at the loathed 8 PM start.

[Lion Hound]

Interested to see the matchups tonight. Hoping to see the Hayes line kick it in gear tonight. They have been non existant. Assuming KZB line will play against Bergeron line.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

I shake my fist at the loathed 8 PM start.

But it's "Rivalry Night" !!!

 

[Alicat]

Hi all!

Here's to a great game!

We are a MASH unit for sure. Most of the line up spent time in the AHL last year and parts of this year.

I just want a good game with no more injuries

Here's our GDT: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threa...ny-rangers-8pm-et-nbcsn-98-5-fm-wepn.2408419/

If I messed up something please let me know!

 

[Leonardo87]

Debating about going tonight. Ticket prices are pretty good.

 

[Hire Sather]

Always has to be something annoying about the lineup.

Don't care if we've won 25 in a row, Paul Carey stinks and Boo should be in over him.

 

[haveandare]

I recognize like 4 of those forwards. Really hope we can win this one against half the Bruins.

 

[Kovalev27]

Boo Nieves better still be getting over that flu to be sitting in favor or either DD or Paul Carey. Both have been awful. I’m amazed by this.

Smith doesn’t deserve to play over anyone right now so when he shows he’s in nhl shape and we need a guy to jump in then fine.

But Carey or DD over Nieves right now is friggen insane

 

[nevesis]

Nieves is obviously still recovering. AV may be dumb, but he's not stupid (well, he is...but you know what I'm saying)

greatest clip in franchise history

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I don't care, Smith needs to play. He's not going to round into form by being scratched and getting no game time.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I don't care, Smith needs to play. He's not going to round into form by being scratched and getting no game time.

My thoughts exactly. Smith being benched for this long messes with his head/confidence. Not good for the long run with the guy.

f*** that, Smith came into camp in terrible shape and he deserves all of the crap he's getting from the coaching staff. His poor play in training camp only solidified this. When he's game shape again, and gets into a game and proves himself, is when he will be a regular back in the line up.

He's a man, and this is the NHL, the brass isn't concerned with 'messing with his head/confidence'

 

[offdacrossbar]

5 wins in a ROW would be pretty sweet.

cant believe AV was dead man chewing just a few days ago.

I'm saying give him a couple of shifts and see how he does. It'd be easier for him to lose that weight if he's playing than sitting in the press box. I'd say he's gotten the message by now.

 

[Idlerlee]

AV keep playing Nash and Zucc together despite them not being able to produce anything together, for literally seasons.

Good job Alain.
