Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Rangers April 9.

[Karl Eriksson]

We just need a win, any win, and our chances go up the same. Bruins really need to lose in regulation to make the biggest impact though.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

This is nothing but mind games.

 

[TheNewEra]

Boyles a local right? Better give us a break away or two

 

[Ail]

I honestly would rather have them in the line-up on "don't get hurt, save it for the playoffs" mode vs. young and eager guys busting their buts trying to impress.

Summers is garbage times skunk juice to the 10th power and Ryan Bourque will never make the roster, which is quite clear to him. He's better than Tanner Glass though.

 

[Sun God Nika]

gotta remember Rangers are still competitve athletes and they are playing in front of their fans

 

[chipsens]

I love watching Rangers games at MSG. It still boggles my mind that the ice surface is on the 2nd floor of the building. Great fans too. This should be a great game. Go Sens!

 

[Alex1234]

Ryan's game will turn around. The end of the Pittsburgh game saw him getting back to basics, hitting things, going for the simple plays. Benching him now would be crippling to his confidence going into the playoffs.

Just get the job done and you wont be benched

Is it bad for cowen confidence? Maybe
But who cares?
Hes not helping the team
Deserves to be bench

They re in the buzziness of winning not psychoeducation sorry

Tonight's projected NYR lineup.

Kreider-Stepan-Miller
Hayes-Brassard-MSL
Hags-Sheppard-Fast
Glass-Moore-Bourque

McD-Girardi
Yandle-Boyle
Summers-Hunwick

That lineup is still scary as hell.

 

[Six Assets]

Please prevent Krieder from running over Hammond

 

[mianjo]

Staal, Nash and Zuccarello are getting the night off. Klein skated on his own again but isn't playing #NYR”

#NYR head coach Alain Vigneault says he's not resting any players, says Rick Nash, Mats Zuccarello and Marc Staal are "day-to-day."”

 

[SelleckStache]

Boyles a local right? Better give us a break away or two

So is spooner!

 

[Wolfy*]

Don't think the Rangers would mind if you beat them tonight. Resting most of their 1st line and a top d-man says it all.

I believe they want Boston out of the picture, but will take what's coming

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I love watching Rangers games at MSG. It still boggles my mind that the ice surface is on the 2nd floor of the building. Great fans too. This should be a great game. Go Sens!

Actually it's on the FIFTH floor!


Good luck tonight. I'm conflicted as a Rangers fan, I've been rooting for the Sens this whole run.

this chart was posted by Christopher Gully on twitter and retweeted by Ian Mendes, and it shows exactly how we can get into the playoffs depending how we and other teams do in the last 2 games....

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I was hoping Kreider would sit

Gonna have to pay close attention to him, him running Hammond would be disastrous

 

[LynxBud]

I'm ready to be heartbroken, but so glad the Sens are still in this playoff race. Crazy to think with two games left we're still fighting with four other teams for those last 4 spots.

If Ottawa does lose tonight, I hope they go out on their shields. Don't need a repeat of the last Rangers game.. Let's see them whoop some ass to finish this crazy run.. IN the playoffs.

That happens then someone needs to run full speed into lundqvist

is that confirmed? id have imagined theyd keep the stepan and hayes line together and let brassard play with fast and shep. all the rangers have to do to throw this game is play the summers/hunwick pairing 20 minutes tonight...

Take the 2 points no injuries per favor

 

[NilssonTheWall]

Please win.

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Anyone else hope Ottawa wins tonight?

 

[Upgrayedd]

It's like game 7 from a few years back all over again, hopefully a different result this time around.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Anyone else hope Ottawa wins tonight?

No, we need to get into the lottery, only chance at McDavid/Eichel.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I'm terrified right now.

Enough with the mathematics mumbo jumbo. Play the games, and let's see where it all falls.

It's actually a sweet chart, though.
