GDT: #5 - 10/13/18 | oilers @ RANGERS | 1:00 - MSG

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

A look back at Henrik the coach killer.

Henrik Lundqvist stifles laughter after being asked about tough saves in shutout of Oilers - TheHockeyNews

Apparently this game was the nail in the coffin for Dallas Eakins career. And rumor is now if the Oilers lose today McLellan is done too.

Ugh, hate the 4am time slot especially on a Sunday morning. Looking forward to watching McDavid, and hopefully an improved defensive effort from our guys

I feel the same about 1:00PM.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I feel the same about 1:00PM.

If you go to bed at 4:00 AM, the 1:00 PM start feels like 4:00 AM.

 

[mike14]

Are you in Guam?

Australia. And 4am is far too early to throw a shrimp on the bloody barbie....

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I feel the same about 1:00PM.

I'll be watching the Rangers today while it's still light outside. I feel, the last time that happened was during the 2014 play offs when we had a noon game in May. Usually the noon games are after DST ends here which makes it dark at 7 pm

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere

DeAngelo is sitting?? Why??

 

[Crease]

My parents are going to this one, so the tank is postponed until further notice.

 

[Lays]

Can’t wait for this
Gonna be my second ever game at MSG (first one was the last game of the last season) and my fourth ever Ranger game (2 against the Devils but I was too young to remember)

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I can’t believe it’s already ten years later.

Let’s win this one for Chere

Okay, I am done with this. One way or another ADA has got to play. This is looking like a wasted year in his development. He's not 20 anymore and needs ice time to get to where he needs to be. The perfect year with NO expectations......so why in the hell is Claesson playing? I don't care that he played well last game. If Marc is untouchable and Shatty is a crybaby and already sat, then sit Pionk. He hasnt been particularly good either.

I was saying this last year around this time too.. idk why coaches always try to “get the veterans going” but the rookies are expected to be great off the bat

 

[NYR]

Quinn is really going to put Latka up against McDavid?

Look for McD to take over the scoring lead today

 

[Placid]

146-1 NYR

Namestnikov (127)
Zibanejad (9)
Kreider (2)
Buchnevich (2)
Vesey (2)
Hayes
Howden
Fast
Skjei

Your predictions are getting ever more modest and realistic

 

[GAGLine]

Better yet, let’s go 81-3 79-3 then 15-4 because I have no patience and this is Rangerstown

edit:it’s not 1994

So we are going to lose game 7 of the finals?

Thanks for nothing, man.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

DeAngelo is sitting?? Why??

Coach got sick of him tripping himself up twice in two games? I would have been surprised if he'd played today. Shattenkirk was supposed to be coming back and ADA wasn't good v the Sharks (although he did have some good passes out of his own zone). I am a little surprised that Pionk is back in, but glad Claesson keeps his slot.

First game I won't see this season because of work. LGR

 

[Irishguy42]

Today is Kids Day.

So...congrats on the win, Oilers.

 

[Webster]

Perfect 7PM start in Scandinavia.

There's even going to be a pre-game show 6:30 on Viasat Hockey in Sweden and Viasport+ in Norway.

Quinn is holding regular season auditions and Staal is gonna have to score on Hank before Quinn finally says enough.

Pionk sat too, I think they’re just rotating guys in and out of the lineup

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Hey, @Loffen, you may not be aware, but it looks like you've got a dead image link at the bottom of all your GDT-starting posts.

Thanks as always for putting these together!

 

[NYR713]

Somehow, Staal stays out of the rotation. Smith... he's played consistently enough to stay out of the rotation so I'm cool with that.

They have to recognize how bad he's been. My only way to rationalize it is that they have to play him and hope he shows enough that some other team is open to taking him if they can force him to take a trade at some point.

I'm interested to see why you call Shatty a crybaby. I thought he handled the situation pretty well.
