[VAcaniac]

I knew we never win at Madison Square Garden, but I just realized we haven't done it in more than 5 years now...

I just jinxed the Rangers.

You son of a *****.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

i put our chances at .5%

that being said, if we win we get lots and lots of momentum and we are feeling good

 

[AGMongoose]

Ranger fan coming in peace. I am curious about Victor Rask's potential. Do you guys see him as a top-6 guy with potential to score 50+ points?

He's on pace for 53 points now.

 

[Joe McGrath]

So, I'm a little torn on tonight's game. They never beat the Rangers so I don't hold out much hope for a W. The only solace is they are coming back from a long road trip to face a crap team. Could be a trap game for them. Otherwise, yeah 5-1 L.

 

[The Faulker 27]

The Rangers have won 5 in a row. SOB. Well, maybe complacency has set in.

I meant as a long-term potential.

 

[DaleCooper]

Anyone think Hanifin might get back in tonight? I'm going to the game so I'm really hoping to see him play.

According to the tweets yesterday, he was a healthy extra.

From Mike Smith yesterday:

#Canes defensive pairs:
Liles-Faulk
Hainsey-Pesce
Jordan-Murphy

He already is, so, yes.

A game that the Rongos should definitely be overlooking and take the foot off the gas a bit? 4-0 Canes loss.

 

[GoldiFox]

I meant as a long-term potential.

He hasn't looked out of place at that pace. His chances have been fairly consistent as well as his overall play.

I think he fits Peters' system very well. Nothing fancy about him, just makes smart high-percentage plays when he has the puck and he works hard in all three zones. He appears to have overcome the bulk of his skating issues which is part of the reason he fell from a potential top-10 pick to a 2nd rounder.

Hoping to be at the game. Ticket prices need to drop though. Can't afford this ****.

 

[DaleCooper]

Yeah, the only way I can afford to go to Rangers games is when my co-worker offers his season ticket. Fortunately he did for this one and the one later this month.

 

[AD Skinner]

Undefeated streak without Hanifin has to end sooner or later

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

go #hcanes

This isn't the state of California, it's a state of insanity.

LISTEN!!

Do you smell something?

Next GDT, every post should be all obscure movie quotes, but trying to keep it on topic.

Bet we could confuse the **** outta visiting boards fans

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Game against the Rangers in MSG? Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

 

[Ole Gil]

The most exciting game on the midway! Imagine the thrill of getting your weight guessed by a professional! You can blow up your cheeks, you can stick out your chest, but you're not going to fool the guesser. How 'bout you, sir? Step right up!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Inconceivable!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Anyone notice that hallejokel is conspicuously absent in this GDT now that we are playing the rongos? Yeah, he posted about getting married in the St. Thomas or some nonsense, but I think it was a convenient excuse to secretly root for the rongos.
