Another great GDT @Leonardo87!


Now that I know there’s a healthy number of Tool fans here, I’m comfortable sharing a Parody I wrote earlier this Season. So far it’s undefeated. May it still have some luck left in it for your Team, my friends.




Blue,
Red,
White are
All I see
On this Rangers Team
NHL Six originally,
Cup Champs we used to be
Great history

Many Years dark, wanting more & beyond, I imagine
GM computes the lines of reason.
Pushed the salary cap,
Made it bend

Overthinking, office analyzing, separate the heart from our mind
Withering my intuition, of missed opportunities and I
Must
Feed my Will, to believe Chris has delivered the moves needed from the Trade Deadline.

There is so much more
talent that beckons me
Coach looks through all these
interesting possibilities

Many Years low, now wanting more and beyond, I imagine
Front Office calculates the lines of reason
Pushed the salary cap, made it bend

Overthinking, over analyzing, separates my wisdom from Drury’s Mind
Withering my intuition please Gallant.. leave over caution behind.

Feed my Will to feel this moment
Our Kids have now crossed the line
Reaching out to embrace our fandom
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come

I embrace my, desire to
I embrace my, desire to
Feel my fandom, to feel connected

Enough to step ahead and embrace the young Rangers
To feel inspired
To fathom the power
To witness our beauties
To cheer in the Garden
To swing on the spiral too
Swing on the spiral too

Swing on the spiral of
our mediocrity
Current life of a Rags Fan

As a fan among the crowd
I lose myself
Within the sound.
I open wide to take it in
I feel bumps form upon my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out
I'm cheering for success of Rangers
And whatever this Team’s potentiality
Whatever this Team can possibly be

And following our will to win,
We may just go where Mess has been
We'll ride this Lineup, with Shesterkin
Who knows where a Playoff run might end
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep growing
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep growing

Nemeth's not playing is he?
Surely not.
SURELY NOT!

 

[JRinNYC]

7 PM can't come fast enough. Looking forward to this game. LET'S GO!!!

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

If Reaves is only getting 5 minutes a game anyway, lets just play Hunt and Motte on the line instead.
He's not a 2nd liner, but that does seem to be the only way GG will let Hunt play. So odd. He's great on line 4.

[Machinehead]

Bless you for doing these all year, Leo. And early too!

Let's do another one on Sunday.

I believe we're gonna win this game. We deserve a game 7. Other than that one stinker, we've been right there.

Not sure, won’t know till warmups, unless there is a morning skate.

I vote to start calling Lindgren Scrappy Doo.

That's Miller jumping into frame

 

[Rongomania]

Stomach already in knots

 

[Rullailija]

Definitely going to need some beers to ease the nerves.. probably won’t help though

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Wonder when we hear about Sid

 

[Machinehead]

Wonder when we hear about Sid

Anything but a concussion and he plays imo

How well he can go is another matter

If he plays, he'll likely be the best player on the ice.

 

[rangers1314]

Need a very quiet first 10 minutes. Igor can't let an early 1 in or else I fear his wheels will come flying off again.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

I’d be shocked if Sid doesn’t play.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Watching the game with another Rangers fan for the first time in three years. At least I'll have somebody to blame if we lose.

 

[Machinehead]

If he plays, he'll likely be the best player on the ice.

That's a downgrade from what he's been

 

[Fitzy]

Gallant leaned pretty heavily on his top guns in game 5.

There's not much you can do to alleviate that when facing elimination, but it'll be interesting to see how Fox and Panarin hold up to playing so much.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Keats, Byron... Ginger Papa.

Please let us get one back to MSG, boys.

He didn't. Kakko only had 12 minutes. Should be fresh.

Tonight we get put out of our misery. (won last time I said this).

Crosby- "Troubatized".

Win for Derek Stepan
