GDT: #1 - 10/13/16 | islanders @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Revel]

I'm using dailyfaceoff.com a lot of times. They're usually up to date with legit info. We'll know more tomorrow I guess.

Thanks Loffen. They seem to match the practice lines Zipay reported today, so the lines are probably on the mark.

 

[Giacomin]

Totally Psyched for Tomorrow. LGR!

 

[bl02]

So excited !
Of all the players for game one vs the islanders Klein would be in the top 3 I wouldn't want missing

 

[wolfgaze]

Hmm maybe I'm a little late here... Nash is playing a 3rd line role to start the season?

 

[Levitate]

Hmm maybe I'm a little late here... Nash is playing a 3rd line role to start the season?

I mean, we go over this a bunch but AV wants 3 lines of offense and will generally roll them pretty evenly, though he'll give bigger matchups and a few more shifts to the lines that play the best

Nash in a 3rd line role doesn't mean he's a checker that's going to see 13 minutes per game, plus he'll very likely get power play and PK time.

It's more about creating lines and pairings that work rather than designating roles for those lines or pairings

 

[GOAT AINEC]

I would switch Nash and Vesey and Holden and Clendenning.

 

[Hire Sather]

Still in the camp of not liking the players NAME like that and the RANGERS capped and other team not.

 

[Blais to Win]

I would switch Clendening and McIlrath.

Nash will destroy his matchups and score 50 goals, its not a bad idea

 

[Lion Hound]

I had the feeling that Vesey would play with Stepan from the outset. On paper, Nash Stepan Zucc seems like such a great combo but did this trio ever really do anything together? In that short stint the other night we got a small dose of that line and they looked really good. Nash was on the line with them rather then Zucc, however Stepan and Vesey appeared to have chemistry. In practice they must have really impressed enough that AV plans on keeping them together. But, in the pre-season I cant figure out Vesey just yet. Is he a Goal scorer? A Sniper, a two way forward?...Verdict isn't out yet but he did a little bit of everything well. The one thing we couldn't gauge was where Zucc fits in? In preseason we never got to see him adjust to the new linemates.

Loffen is like the Henrik Lundqvist of HF GDT-makers, his call.

 

[nevesis]

Here we go....see ya at MSG tomorrow night.

 

[DanielBrassard]

It's been such a long offseason compared to the past few years.

LGR

 

[*Bob Richards*]

It's back!

We should try to win!

 

[Ori]

Meanwhile.. AV dreaming of a cup when he saw Pengs in the cup final this summer - so he had this genius plan! ...we need Nash on our third line, AV thought.

 

[bigbluebird]

Ahh, couldn't come soon enough. At least one NY team I'm excited about.

 

[GregNYR89]

Excited about tomorrow!!! Only wish that Dylan was in the opening lineup. I want this kid to be given a real chance and not to see him on the ice only if someone is injured. He brings a lot to this team, sad to see it all go to waste. I'm interested to see what kind of "talk" he want to have to AV.

LGR!!!

Calling Hayes and Miller two way forwards is a bit generous I think. Big Tuna is probably a two way forward as well at this level by Christmas.

Lets Go Rangers!!

Anyone get the transcript from AV phone interview today?

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

he said something about Trident gum making a comeback

Yes. 3rd liners play about 13 ES minutes when AV has the depth to work with. Then add in PP and PK minutes.

on with francessa he said that a team needs to play to their strengths

Hopefully one where he kicks AV's ass all over the locker room while the rest of the ***** rangers sit there watching ******** in their pants.

Amen to that!
