GDT: #7 - 10/21/14 | New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils | 7:00 PM - MSG

[5 4 Fighting]

The balls of steel award goes to Dan Girardi.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Any word if Duclair playing?

 

[bl02]

I give Girardi credit in every facet of the game especially his toughness and let's not forget this guy wasn't even drafted but can we keep him off power play? Do we really need him on pp until Boyle gets back because he is a righty shot?

 

[Kakko]

Girardi will finish his career in top-5 Gp for the Rangers, with a good shot of being #1

 

[Raspewtin]

Any word if Duclair playing?

He's scratched.

Meanwhile Tanner Glass is still on the roster.

 

[LORENZO]

Hope Hayes plays well again, with some Nasty moments on the side.

I wont be watching unfortunately as I have to be up for work at 5:45am (UK time)

 

[Machinehead]

It's a road game? Ew I hate that dump

Machinehead pls. It is our 2nd/3rd home arena. We will lose one when the Isles move to Barclays. I don't think any sane Rangers fan will go to that arena and pay money to watch a game with such terrible sight lines.

They don't play anywhere close to the same role.

It's so bad

Wow. One of my very, very good friend is a diehard isles fan. He sent me some pictures of him not being able anything because of everyones head in front of him. Keep in mind he is nearly 6'6.

 

[Miamipuck]

Hunwick made the play of the game and was given the broadway hat in the last win.

I'd be more worried about who comes in for the other spot... Yikes (can't even say his name)

Yeah saying it is like saying Beetlejuice 3 times.

Sitting next to Hipsters no less.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Watch Kostka have a monster game. These guys have pride.

If he doesn't? Bozolinsh.

Edit: good. Just saw Girardi's in.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

So Gelinas out, Larsson in.

Devils' forwards are solid. But that defense. Yeesh.

Most of the Devils fans I know love their defense. Personally I don't get it, but some of them think they have the best defense in the league

 

[Gardner McKay]

Going to miss this one as I have a business dinner to attend. I really hope we keep our momentum from Sunday going! LGR!!!

 

[Cassano]

Prob because they've been league leaders in fewest shots against/per game for the past 5-6 years.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

It's not comparing apples to oranges when we have the depth to run 4 good lines but insist on trotting Glass out on the 4th because he's tough.

I'd like to think we win this game but with the D playing how it is, IDK. If we had Step I'd be more confident, but right now I think we lose unless Hank puts on a clinic.

Hahaha...could you imagine sitting here and watching a game? Going to be BRUTAL.

I still don't understand the extreme hate Glass gets on this forum. He skates well, forechecks hard, hits hard, fights, and is good on the penalty kill. He's a solid 4th line player. Why don't people understand this?

Probably because he's not.

Because he gets cushy minutes and doesn't do anything with them except hit people, and keeping Duclair scratched is stupid if they want to see if he can stick in the NHL (seeing as how he has 3 points in 5 games).

A situation where Hagelin or Stempniak is on the 4th line is infinitely superior.

Yeah I dont know. I'm the first one to get on a players ass when they arent playing well, or they just dont fit, but I really dont see the issue with Glass.

Yet.

Lostka on the other hand...

He also misses half the time on his hits and ends up wildly out of position, leave D. Moore or Fast/Malone to cover for him.
