That 4th line depresses me.

It's the Howdy Doody line.

They are gonna get smashed if they match up vs the islanders 4th line. Gauthier must really really really suck in practice.

 

[bl02]

I believe I saw that - went right on his back and almost he looked like he smacked his head too.

Yep saw that too. Figures he was looking decent on that line the last few games. Now that line becomes our 4th line

Hopefully they don’t show up with the intensity of a preseason game like they normally do.

I have a feeling we'll know within the first 5 minutes of the game whether this will be a win or a loss.

Agreed. That's exactly where I was going with my earlier...please don't come out flat and be hemmed in our zone right out of the gate.

agreed.... that has been the best fourth line in hockey for years. High energy, disruptive and have a nice scoring touch- they burn us everytime. Everytime they are on, I am reminded how we are not built for the playoffs.

Why not play Kravtsov as RW on Panarin’s line ?

I'd love a win tonight...but it's the Isle's and right now they are better than us.

The fact that the Rangers are playing such an important game this late in a season when they have this many youngsters in the line up is a moral victory in and of itself.

So, if we win tonight that's a big step for this young team.

If we lose but still make a good showing, I can take some solace from that.

Don't embarrass us boys.

Kind of sucks about Kreider, he looked good on that line the last couple of games. Glad to see Kravtsov get an opportunity. But I get nervous about this when Quinn tries to put one of the young guys up in the line up. He gives them a game or two and if there is no immediate chemistry, he buries that player on a lower line for the next couple months. It's like a 1 chance opportunity.

Relax. There aren't months left.

I've said it every game for the past 10 games, but if we lose, it's over

Even more so when he plays.

If the Rangers don't score on the first 3 shifts, some here will declare them as already having lost the game.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

I was referring to how they look rather than the scoresheet. If they look lethargic and disinterested like they looked in the first period against Buffalo, I think we're in for a long night. You can get away with that against the Devils and the Sabres, but the Isles will eat us alive if we come out flat.

I hope that's not true. Chytil has always been a player who gets chances but he's really been piling them up lately. I feel he's close to breaking out.

Am I the only one that feels that Chytil is reminding me of an early Kreider (minus the no-shows?)
So many breakaways, and doesn't finish as much as we may like.
Great hands, good speed, like a bull going through players after the puck. Seems really strong, and still very young yet.

Man, he might not have quite the talent of Kaapo and Laf, but he is every bit as determined as Kaapo has been. He will have a special night someday soon. Hopefully this year, where it puts him on the map, and gives him great confidence into next year.

He’s not going to. Maybe by the third. I have a bad feeling we’re gona get smoked tonight. If it’s another poor start and isles get a 1 or 2 goal lead it’s curtains. Starting strong out of the gate is imperative this evening

it’s a good call. Good things happen when they both keep those tree trunks for legs moving. They are both very hard to knock off the puck and can leave people in the dust with a speed burst. I think his finishing ability will get better with more ice time. He’s never going to finish like Zibby but his wide open nets shouldn’t miss as he gets more comfortable in games played experience

This doesn’t even make sense. That post isn’t commentary on the team, it’s just a statement of fact regarding the mathematics of the playoff race.

The Isles haven't been eating teams alive. They're struggling to win.

That's why they're going to poop all over the Rongos tonight.

If one player is bad, that doesn't mean another bad player is good.

Just f***ing win baby, make these bums sweat it out.
