Pre-Game Talk: Rangers @ Caps / April 5, 8:00 EDT

[Kaapo Cabana]

Has there been a report of him being injured? I thought AV was just resting him up since he's probably gonna be logging 27+ a night in the playoffs.

a vague comment about bumps and bruises and the 4 players sitting tonight.

nothing conclusive

Last week, AV had said he was injured, but nothing serious. Now he is saying bumps & bruises. So it seems like there is something bothering him, but I'm guessing it's mild and that he'd be playing if there was something to play for.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Eh that's vague enough for me to think he's just resting. Every player has bumps and bruises right now

 

[JimmyG89]

Kreider - Step - Buch looks interesting...

Will be interesting when Kreider and Buch are talking in Russian and Step has no clue what is going on.

If he ever wanted to know what it would be like playing in the KHL, it would be this game.

 

[Siddi]

I want Kreider and Grabner to hit 30 so bad before the end of reg season

To say Grabner has hit a wall is an understatement.

One goal in his last 20 games.

To be fair, he took way longer to hit the wall than anybody thought he would.

Yeah would be cool.

To say Grabner has hit a wall is an understatement.

Yeah, it seems whatever Stepan had, he gave it to Grabner. Kreider has a much better chance since he does get prime PP time and has been crashing the net better as of late.

 

[Bob Richards]

To be fair, he took way longer to hit the wall than anybody thought he would.

Of course. He's exceeded literally everyone's expectations and I obviously can't complain.

But he was shooting like, 20%+ for most of the season. That was bound to regress.

 

[Revel]

Loffen, where are you?

 

[Idlerlee]

Of course. He's exceeded literally everyone's expectations and I obviously can't complain.

But he was shooting like, 20%+ for most of the season. That was bound to regress.

I would be pretty stoked if he could shoot at more than 20% on breakaways however. I feel like most of his chances are alone vs the goalkeeper anyway, thanks to his ridiculous speed
