I like this GDT. I am also glad that it starts at 4:00 p.m. today. Gives me something to do in the afternoon. I might practice my parking between getting home from church and the start of this game.

Go Jerks Go.

2 - the number of times Kandre Miller will grab an unsuspecting dude from behind in a choke hold

2 - the number of times Kandre Miller will get very passive once the dude he’s choking from behind gets out of the choke hold

Yup. Home from work at 10 p.m., some oven tofu chicken pasta is probably waiting, then puck drop at 11 p.m. (all times EEDT or whatsthatthing).

I expect this one to go seven either way. This is gonna be tougher than a Leafs loss on a Saturday night.

First couple of games will be remembering how to play hockey.

Put the biscuit in the basket.

On a vaguely related note, the first suggested word was “blender” instead of basket.

Put the biscuit in the blender!

 

[KevinFinnerty]

need to play disciplined and don't let Skjei dive

 

[AD Skinner]

Put the biscuit in the blender!

I’m listening…

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

Rangers will be diving all over the ice to avoid 5v5 for long durations. Canes need to watch out for that.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

First true (ignoring the bubble) road Game 1 for Carolina since 2019. Different dynamic not having defend home ice.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Get the ice baths ready. This series is going to be as physical as any this postseason. Been trying to calm myself down all weekend in anticipation of this series starting.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

 

[Ugene Magic]

Need optimal CHAOS....

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh this could backfire

 

[Jocke1]

It just occurred to me that if Laviolette should take the Rangers all the way to the cup finals, he will join Scotty Bowman as the only ones to coach four different teams to the finals.

Happy Easter to anyone who is celebrating today.

 

[Profet]

By the time these get to NY they are usually not a big deal and go out with a whimper.

Probably only need 1 flag today.

 

[Tofveve]

A bit of a tough one as I like both teams. Hoping for a good game and series.

Sir, the Island already got wrecked.This gun be one of the bad ones.

That's my point... These things aren't common in NY, the load has been shot.

Carolina Tropical depressions show up today.

Seems like you have something against Miller.
