Pre-Game Talk: Rangers @ Pittsburgh 7:00 3/3/16

[Miamipuck]

AV likes Vanilla a lot more than most of us do, I don't think he'd do anything to jeopardize his place in the lineup

yeah but as anyone with knowledge of the situation knows, without glass to contain it, vanilla just runs all over the place.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

AV's starting to be critical of Dom Moore, maybe thats the next player that sits instead of Glass.

 

[silverfish]

Are we going to call up Hrivik, or is McIlrath going to play 4RW again?

 

[The Gloaming]

Are we going to call up Hrivik, or is McIlrath going to play 4RW again?

Maybe we can wait until it's too late. Then McL can play RW and of course look horrible doing it. Then AV has an excuse for sitting him.

[bl02]

Please bring back Hrivik. The defenseman as a forward is a disaster. if that happens expect to have no 4th line for the entire third period. Brings back bad memories of Stu Bickell at forward. Its obvious AV is not gonna rotate Mcilrath into the defensive lineup so just let him sit then. Playing him at forward is a joke

 

[silverfish]

Good.

 

[Hobgoblin Steve]

edit: wrong thread, but LGR!

 

[Kovalev27]

Expect to see tomorrow

Staal Brass Zucc
Kreider Stepan Miller
Lindberg Hayes Stalberg
Glass Moore Hrivik

At least until Fast get back

 

[BigCanada77]

Worst thing is this game was moved to NHL Network. So for anyone who paid for Center Ice with the expectation that they could watch this game without the ignorance of Steigerwald and Errey, they've been screwed over.

I'd really wonder if someone made an issue of this if there is a legal case to be made...I mean they did offer Center Ice on a team by team basis this season.

NHL.tv has the same situation. It's bogus that you can pay the NHL for NHL.tv to watch your team, and then the same NHL decides to show that game on something else the NHL owns, and now you can't watch it. I know what the rule is with national blackouts, but the rule makes zero sense to me. I'm already paying you NHL, just let me watch it. Jesus.

Expect to see tomorrow

Staal Brass Zucc
Kreider Stepan Miller
Lindberg Hayes Stalberg
Glass Moore Hrivik

Wouldn't it be better to get Staal on Stepans wing? to help with face-offs?

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Pens are an easy win for us at this point, not worried about them at all.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

You play Hank against Pens and Isles, we won't catch Caps. Huge (long) weekend, I'm excited and scared in equal measure.

 

[FJB]

Whoa, when did Hagelin go to Pittsburgh? I see he's almost played 20 games for them. lol

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

He got traded there. Hagelin was terrible for Anaheim, but I think he would have eventually improved with them as he got more used to their system, and the city itself after being in NY all his career.

Surprised that Hagelin was traded after signing a 4 year deal with them the past summer.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Nothing would make me happier than a blowout win over my most hated team.

My disdain for them has subsided over the past couple of years but they were definitely tops for me around 2012. Absolutely despised them then.

I wasn't following the West much this year, so yea after signing that deal, I figured he'd be there a while.

 

[Raspewtin]

I miss hating a team like I hated the Devils and Penguins of 2011-2013.

Bickel won his face offs at a 100% clip

Girardi CREEPIN in the background.

Jinxed

And way in the back, Staal and his Terminator eye

Malkin is back from injury too.

Nash still on Bahamas it seems.

Dubi and Cally on the road, after Staal tied it late. One of my favorite wins ever.
