[Leonardo87]

Thanks mods for the pin!

9,387-0 NYR

Copp (9,381)
Panarin (3)
Motte (2)
Subban own goal (1)

pretty excited for this one, so many new faces!

 

[Crease]

Copp rocking 18.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Hopefully Nemeth-Braun proves us wrong and is a dominant shutdown pair.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Copp rocking 18.

If he re-signs here he’s gonna have to switch next season when Staal’s number goes to the rafters

 

[EdJovanovski]

Tuba is our real GM

 

[will1066]

Feel bad for Vatrano. Not even a week and he's already supplanted by Copp as Tuba's BFF.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Fair trade if gets to stay with Panarin.

 

[DudMan28]

Looking forward to Sam & Joe lauding over Nemeth-Braun shot blocking skills as they're pinned in their zone for the 8th time tonight

 

[New York RKY]

A deep lineup, with talent? What is this nonsense?

Just get me back Kakko please!

 

[Sayba]

Why would we sit Schneider?

 

[will1066]

Let's shave some of Nemeth's negative xG.

 

[will1066]

Fair trade if gets to stay with Panarin.

We don't even know if Panarin likes him. Maybe he just tolerates him for the time being.

 

[Taluss]

Not a fan of sitting Schneider or Hunt on the 3rd line. But looking forward to seeing how the team plays

 

[McRanger92]

I would like to see them physically dominate a defeated Devils team tonight. Shades of the post 2013 deadline game against PIT where new Rangers Clowe, Brassard and Johnny Moore all scored in a 6-3 win.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Why would we sit Schneider?

I don't think Schneider sitting for a few games is the worst thing in the world. He hasn't looked particularly great the last few games so maybe watching from up top will be good for him.

 

[New York RKY]

Agreed, Hunt would look much better in the press box.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why would we sit Schneider?

It seemed pretty obvious that's what was going to happen when we traded for Braun.

 

[Taluss]

It seemed pretty obvious that's what was going to happen when we traded for Braun.

I wasn’t certain cuz I thought he was able to play both sides

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I believe it was even more of a blowout than that. Like 6-1.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I wasn’t certain cuz I thought he was able to play both sides

But it's Gallant. Like literally every HC he hates rookies. Plus Schneider hasn't been great lately and while Nemeth has been worse you knew that it would take a lot more to get him out of the lineup.

 

[Sayba]

I don't think Schneider sitting for a few games is the worst thing in the world. He hasn't looked particularly great the last few games so maybe watching from up top will be good for him.

Once healthy are we going to sit Kakko and Laf for our new forward additions as well? Schneider has been better than both of them this year. Braun should rotate with Nemeth or be an insurance policy.

Chytil at center over Copp. Copp is a good faceoff guy but plays wing

 

[DialUp]

DO A BARREL ROLL!
