GDT: Game 17: 11/22 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins, 7pm ET, MSG

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Big game on the road before Turkey day to right the ship.

Dont want to go into the weekend on a 2 game losing streak having to face Torts and then the Bruins.

Plus, f*** the Pens

Is Trocheck's grandmother hosting on Thursday?

How can she say no to this face?

A win over Pittsburgh would be nice on Thanksgiving Eve.

Statement game tonight. Good chance to start throwing dirt on the Penguins.

Crosby is going to eat up Zibanejad tonight, gonna need the Rangers depth to outmatch the Penguins depth.

or another Trouba hit.

PTSD would have been too great from that series....

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Getting back to Rongo status? Or is this reflective of missing Fox ?

Mika usually comes alive after Thanksgiving.

Yes. While everyone else is suffering from the tryptophan, Mika shines with his tofu.

If anyone cares, I named my cat Ozzy after the GOAT Ozzy Osbourne.

We never left Rongo status. This team has sucked at "for" stats since Torts took over.

We took a brief detour late into AV's tenure and during Quinn's of also sucking at "against" stats, that's the only difference.

You bringing this up made me think Ozzy died

And yet you were complaining hard about late tenure AV.

They were top 5 2013-14. No coincidence they made the cup that year.

Actually they were #1 lol.

I miss that team.

They accidentally got a bunch of players who are good at even strength. Turns out having good 5v5 players is all it takes.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

My eye test shows me that with the exception of the first Minnesota game we've been getting more chances 5 on 5. Ironically we scored 4 5 on 5 goals in that Minnesota game but got dominated the rest of the time.

I misread it my bad.

We're a lot better than we were but we were down there with the Sharks the first handful of games, so the bar is low.

This feels like the only corner of the internet remaining where I'm able to have a civil conversation and actually learn things any more. Long live hfboards.

Just proves how bad this matchup is in terms of 5on5 play. Sticking with the same lineup won’t change those results.

Could be a long night if Rangers don’t draw any penalties early (and often).

And then there’s Jarry - who will either give up 5 easy ones or get a shutout.

Quick to start tonight. He’s been good lately.




Igor still looks rusty the last few games. Does anyone think he can still be hurt?

Just his yearly post leg injury period of major suckitude. He'll straighten out soon enough.
