GDT: Game 55 : New York Rangers and New York Islanders playing in New Jersey, 3pm ET, (Game is on ABC and ESPN+)

[Kords]

As a couch enjoyer, I hope they push it back even farther. A sunset before the 2nd period would be pretty sweet and we don't need Igor struggling to see the puck anymore. He needs to have a good game or his confidence will tank again.

Rangers win 9-0. Brodzinski 9 goals.

 

[JimmyG89]

Devils, Flyers, and Rangers all got to the stadium with some theme.

Islanders came in with nothing. Guess Department of Sanitation was busy today.

What the f*** are these idiots doing? Why would you do this game in the day when the winds are always swirling in the Meadowlands? Like, why?

I see the American Idol thing above and that's the obvious reason, but no clue why the NHL somehow OK'd this dumbf*** start time.

I could've predicted this. Winds aren't supposed to calm down until (SHOCKER) 7PM. Almost like when they normally calm down in this area, lol.

 

[Kords]

Thought they would whiff the entrance but that was pretty sick

 

[E-Train]

Rempe confirmed in. Was told a few months ago here that he’d never play in a NHL game. Does it 2nd year pro at age 21.

Kid deserves a ton of credit

Rangers' Matt Rempe could make emotional NHL debut on anniversary of father's death

Rangers prospect Matt Rempe discussed the significance of possibly making his NHL debut six years to the day after his father's unexpected passing.

I think it’s the glare of the sun on the ice, the game at Yankee Stadium was the same, your point still stands, but I think Brooks was just saying it’s freezing out.

f***ing based. Stoked for him.

I remember when we took him and Edstrom (Edstrom in 2019, Rempe in 2020).

Frankly, I am on board with taking more big, weird, lanky dudes that have some talent. Edstrom was never thought of as a bottom-six guy when we picked him. He was looked at as a big dude with some skill. Same with Rempe. BOTH of them worked their asses off and changed their games in order to make it this far.

Two of the most interesting prospects in recent memory, too.

Ah, I figured it was for the wind. But yeah, point stands as you said. Idiotic timing on this one.

Anyone who has ever played hockey outside in the sun can tell you how hard it will be, lol.

Lou really is such a cringe GM at this point in his life. He's not only bad at his job, but he has these utterly ridiculous rules that just strip the fun from the game.

I can't stand the guy.

 

[LOFIN]

Just lame as f***, and we didn't do that much better. Such a disappointment after seeing what the Flyers and Devils did yesterday with the Rocky and Sopranos costumes.

Oh well, let's win the game. That's the important part.

 

[FoxyClean]

What a lame walk out. Most people in NYC don’t even like the NYPD. And just throwing a jersey on is boring.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

What’s the over/under for isles fans mullet count?

Any updates on the start time?

 

[Lua]

fitting for Rempe to make his debut in the absolute swamp that is the meadowlands

 

[dangsLITE]

I mean tbf not like an ESPN / ABC game is going to start before 3:30 regardless

The NHL is currently on a Cal Ripken Jr streak of forgetting the sun exists when scheduling outdoor games

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

How can people not like the NYPD/FDNY theme? That’s such a classy move giving respect to people who put their lives on the line every day. Of course Lou didn’t let the Islanders dress up. He's been one of the biggest scumbags in the league for decades.

Not so much theme... But the execution.

If they ride in on little fire trucks/police car hot wheels or something... I'm there.

Even the Yankees would think Lou was uptight.

Awesome! Love the old PD radio cars

In their defense, seeing the sun at all during winter in NY / NJ is pretty unusual

Will @will1066 be on the couch rink side with Emily all game like Bettman was last night?
