Pre-Game Talk: Rangers v Sens, Dec 6, 2015

[Revel]

Hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, but I hadn't seen a pre-game thread created yet.

Looks like a probable shake-up in the lines. TheRangerZone blog notes the following line combinations were run @ practice:

Chris Kreider-Oscar Lindberg-Rick Nash

Kevin Hayes-Derick Brassard-Mats Zuccarello

JT Miller-Dominic Moore-Jesper Fast

Tanner Glass-Jarret Stoll-Viktor Stalberg

Spare: Etem

Regardless of whether or not it's a good move, I have to admit that these combos have peaked my curiosity. Can they work? I hope so!

Calderberg will lead us to glory.

Long live Oscar.

 

[Idlerlee]

Please dont suck Hayes

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Can we just not leave Hank out to dry

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Hey Nash and Kreider... WAKE THE **** UP!

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Loving Lindberg on the first line. Give him some more responsibility and see what he can do.

Two shifts until AV switches him with Glass. At most.

Hey Nash and Kreider... WAKE THE **** UP!

Little preemptive anger there.

I imagine the players sitting around in the locker room while AV stands in front of them with his arm around Glass like "This is the effort we need guys. Is it too much to ask for you to play more like my boy Tan Tan?"

Me?? Whaaaa? I'd never

You need Tanner Glass' grit on that top line to wear out the other team.

It could be a movie, The Adventures of Rin Tan Tan.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Sens tie it against the Islanders with 36 seconds left. So much for getting on the highway early there...

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If only we could call up Skjei and Graves to replace Girardi and Staal

 

[The Undertaker]

Are those lines for real? Also why is Glass still in over Etem? WTF is going on in the heads of AV, the coaching staff, and the front office.

 

[The Undertaker]

Also, any word on the d pairings? I'm assuming AV and Ulf are gonna whip up some good ones. Maybe like:

Staal-Girardi
McD-Girardi
Staal-Boyle
Yandle

McIlrath waived.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Idk why but we never match up well with these fools and I doubt its going to change now. I put this one down as a loss.

 

[Esa 10]

Poor Lindbergh. From Glass to Kreider.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Moore on the 3rd line. Cool. Another line with an offensive black hole. First Glass now Moore.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Big shocker that AV now has Glass with Moore-Stoll. I'm sure AV is looking for Glass to become a mainstay in the lineup now. Even when Stepan is back, Stalberg or Moore will sit for Glass.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Those lines look terrible and dear God, how much longer will Glass be in? Why the **** is he playing over a useful player in Etem?

 

[Raspewtin]

lines are garbage

defense is garbage

AV is garbage

6-1 win incoming

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Calderberg will lead us to glory.

Long live Oscar.

Long live King Oscar.

Forget Hank, Oscar's the swede king now.

LONG LIVE OSCAR! CALDERBERG SHALL SHOW US THE WAY!

You forgot to add "Management is garbage."

As well as "Cowen is garbage."

Etem has been horrible. He doesn't look like an nhl player at all...and I know, neither does glass but at least glass will fight. It's a lose / lose.
