GDT: Rangers @ Senators - "The Prodigal Russian Son Returns" Edition - 2/17/19 - 2PM ET

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Kreider - Staal #shutdownpair

Shut down the franchise pair

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Our center depth is a cruel joke.

Zibby the 2C at 1
Miller the third line winger at 2C
And then two AHL players

 

[Placid]

Ottawa is trash so if Hank is even 50% himself today this will be a win

I think we should be somewhat careful with a team that has Gabby (granted, he is getting a tad long in the tooth now, but with our customary luck, he'll get a hat-trick), Brassard, Duchene, Karlsson, etc. Dont forget that we barely field half our customary team ourselves

We have 4 defensemen injured (plus one demoted). Fortunately, our callups have played their hearts out and done extremely well. Hopefully that continues

Defense has been upgraded. Don't know what you're talking about.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hope Ek65 goes off.

hehe, yes it has, which is why i said that they've done extremely well. And hopefully that'll continue.. but they are normally mainstay's in a Wolfpack that plays "0.500, bottom half of the standings" hockey, which makes me a tad wary for when the massive adrenaline jolt of moving up to the big league wears off. Then again, this is their big chance, and i hope they (continue to) grip it tightly with both hands

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Hope Ek65 goes off.

Future ranger Erik Karlsson

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Scouts at today's game.

 

[will1066]

Phone battery at 65%

Definitely a sign

Nash and EK go off at same time?

Then come back in uniform swap?

That’d fit in with Ottawa’s MO at this point.

That or Shattenkirk for EK straight up

I'd do that deal

If they retain 50 percent of Shatty's salary

 

[Irishguy42]

Those Sens jerseys are nice.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Future ranger Erik Karlsson

Him and JT with our forthcoming cap space!!

GS is furiously puffing away on a cigar, pouring over a spreadsheet as we speak.

 

[Crease]

Drinking heavily for this one.

 

[Irishguy42]

Apparently Cyrgalis is the only beat writer for the Rangers there?

 

[Irishguy42]

 

[Irishguy42]

Gaborik hatty incoming.

 

[will1066]

Those Sens jerseys are nice.

Think those become their full time next year

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Think those become their full time next year

They should become their full time ones now.

These may be the best unis in the game.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Absolutely a must lose. Sens need to get hot.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oh right Gabo is on the Sens. He'll score that's a given.

LGT

 

[Irishguy42]

Hayes is IN

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Brant does the jobs Brooks doesn’t want to

So not surprising
