[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

I thought our start was a little slow. It came down to our power play. Our power play needed to step up.
The five guys on the first unit didn’t do the job tonight.
- Rick Nash

I think I kind of just over-slid when I came across. I gave a little bit too much.
Like I said I just kind of over pushed there and he corralled it and was able to get enough time to kind of look up and go back the other way on me.
- Cam Talbot

We were playing against a team that was desperate. I always like 2-2 on the road going into the third.
Unfortunately I don’t say that very often about any parts of our game, but our PP got outworked tonight and they got the go-ahead goal.
We got some looks after but we weren’t good enough tonight.
- Alain Vigneault​

[Loff]

Lineup not confirmed.

AV speaks at 5 PM.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Why is Glass in over either Swede?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Glass is STILL in the lineup? Where's Fast?

Also, why is Staal-Klein still a pairing? That pairing has not been good.

Edit-LOL at Loffen's 2nd post. But, we all know Glass is going to be in over Fast, lol.

 

[Ori]

I'm very excited and we need 2 pts!

LGR!

 

[Placid]

Guys, look at what Loffen wrote, lines are not confirmed

Hope that the Rangers lift themselves after a mediocre showing last time.. the Predators are also going to be very keen on winning (lost two in a row for the first time this season).. so lets win this and make it their first 3 game loss

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Beyond excited for this game, should be a good one with two of the better teams in the league going head to head.

 

[haveandare]

Great game to see the new guys in for the first time. I do wish they had a practice or two before though.

Interested to see what the lines end up being. I think Fast is back by now.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

I'm so excited to see the new guys. I'm taking off work early today. I'm in New Mexico so the game starts pretty early.

Hotel wifi better hold up lol

 

[silverfish]

Real happy I took the day off today. Gonna be able to in front of the TV at 630 for gamenight. Ready to get a look at our new guys for sure. Hoping they make a big impact, obviously.

This is going to be a tough game (duh). Hopefully everyone is fired up for it, and the new guys want to impress in their new threads so it all fires on all cylinders.

LGR

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I assume Yandle playing is pretty much a given, What about sheppard? Can we just have him play 4th line C and move Moore to glass's spot? for the love of god...

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Yandle is in NYC and supposed to talk to the media tonight

 

[Kakko]

Any news on Fast?

 

[Synergy27]

Wait, so the Rangers still have to play games? The didn't win the Cup yesterday? ****.

 

[aufheben]

I know the lineup isn't confirmed but Jesus Christ is Glass ever a zit on a beautiful face...

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

3 PPGs tonite. Yondol pls

 

[jniklast]

Without Sheppard we are a forward short, so he has to play, right? Assuming of course that Fast isn't ready yet.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Yandle is in NYC and supposed to talk to the media tonight

Lol I autocorrected nyc to NYR

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

yay!! shiny new toys!!

 

[mrhockey193195]

I have a feeling we're gonna wreck them. The locker room is relaxed, Zucc is still around, they acquired a big name without giving up any crucial roster players...I think the guys are probably relieved and pumped.

 

[poeman]

Stop by the NHL Store! Freshly minted

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Hopefully Yandle has as big of a debut as Brassard, Clow and Moore had after the trade deadline

 

[nevesis]

 

[offdacrossbar]

tanner glass hatty incoming.

keith yandle !! **** yeah

that top 6 looks mighty tasty.

Ryan McDonagh (C) Dan Girardi (A)
Marc Staal (A) Kevin Klein
Keith Yandle Dan Boyle

 

[DeadPuck]

tanner glass hatty incoming.

Having a ****** day, thanks for the laugh.
