I have a feeling we will see Chris Neil in their lineup today.

Everyone welcome our newest moderator, Chief Ranger. :handclap:

Now you can make the polls. :naughty:

Sorry, rite of passage:

Mac n Gs · May 6, 2017

85% positive I was talking to one of you guys when I was getting my haircut this morning :laugh:

Irishguy42 · May 6, 2017

If Neil is in and Boucher leans on Karlsson with his foot injury. especially since Karlsson has gotten progressively worse each game, Ottawa deserves to lose this series.

PlamsUnlimited · May 6, 2017

Looks like Guy is trying to take a page out of AV's book with lineup confusion

I can't tell whether or not I've chatted with new mod. Good luck

Leetch66 · May 6, 2017

Hope Neil is in and takes 4 minor P's and we score on 3 of them . 5-1 Rangers.

Ori · May 6, 2017

I like the Glass quote, hehe.

AV like to turn the page as usual, but I hope they bring their good vibes and hockey into G5, and continue to play to their strength!

We need to steal 1 game in Ottawa to advance in this series.

Maximus · May 6, 2017

Welcome Chief to the moderator gig.

I hope to not give you too many reasons to send me to the penalty box with all too may infractions....lol

Would really love our chances today especially if we can get that all important first goal.

1st goals vs Ottawa are even more important vs them than other teams cause even one goal behind, the Ottawa trap starts to crumble and it becomes much easier to get thru the neutral zone.

When they have a lead which it's a heck of alot tougher. So let's not make it tougher on ourselves than it needs to be. Get the first goal and start to pile on from there.

BTW: I hope and pray Sens put Neil in the lineup. That will be one less player to be concerned about as he's for most part a non-entity anymore. Would love it if Glass took care of him early.

OK boys, let's do this. Heading to a Derby/Ranger viewing party. Catch y'all after what hopefully will be a glorious Game 5 victory....yeah baby.... :nod:

Thirty One · May 6, 2017

If Neil is in, I hope Glass doesn't engage him at all.

NYR will win 7-1 today.

Why not?

Neil is going to go after some of our skilled guys...you can bank on that to try and send a message.

Glass needs to be our enforcer or policeman...whatever you want to call it. He needs to stand up to Neil if need be.

Captain Lindy · May 6, 2017

I take it Chris Neil is in the lineup today. If Boucher planned on scratching him he would have said it.

He neither confirmed nor denied Neil being in the lineup last I heard. Which probably means he will be playing.

From your mouth to the hockey gods ears.

That would be beyond a glorious win, that would border on all-time great Ranger playoff wins of all-time.

I'll take a nice and tidy 4-1 win again just like the past two games with us getting the first goal. Need to get first goal.

8-0 obliteration style. Rangers secretly sign Stone Cold to finish Neil

silverfish · May 6, 2017

Getting lost in everything was the defensive play of the team in those home games. Keeping it easy for Hank, and he's paying them back by making the saves he should make, and some he needs to.

Speed through the neutral zone. The puck is faster than the player. East to west, make Ottawa shift, and exploit the middle.

I hope Chris Neil doesn't will his team to victory the way Tanner did in game 4

If Neil decides he's going to get in the face of the Rangers skilled players (he'll have to catch them first), there's nothing that Glass can do to stop it.

Anthony5967 · May 6, 2017

Just play the way they have played the last two games and they should be fine. You can see OTT is rattled. They are turning to Chris ****** Neil for Game 5. Skate away after the whistle, let him play stupid and get his 5 mins of ice time.

When you lay it all out like this it sounds like the Rangers circa game 3.

Thirty One · May 6, 2017

Channel Mike Rupp. Chris Neil only needs to hear five words tonight.

You're ****ing irrelevant out here.

Can't wait to hear Pierre yammer about his junior days in North Bay and how he raised money for sick orphans in Mozambique.
