GDT: Game 62: New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 7pm ET, MSG (Do we want Florida?)

[Ail]

HEY FLORIDA PANTHERS LOOK AT THIS:

 

[Leonardo87]

The Rempe hype for me is over, kids NHL career is going to end before it even begins.

Need to focus on improving the bottom 6 with guys who can produce and hopefully they can get Mika going.

 

[duhmetreE]

We played them well last time, didn't win. A convincing win tonight can help alleviate a lot of doubts

 

[DanielBrassard]

For all of the belly aching that we can't score 5 on 5 Florida has better PP and worse GF/G. So they...score less 5 on 5.

3rd worst SH% has something to do with that.

They are 7th in xGF/60.

Only Mika can get Mika going.

So disturbing and arrousing.

Not to make this political but it's going to be one of those nights!

LGR!

Only hockey nerds think this is a good thing.

 

[FoxyClean]

A regulation win gets us back to #1 in the league outright.

 

[Machinehead]

On the one hand, they're probably the best team in the league. If not, they're #2.

On the other hand, we've weirdly played well against them the last few times.

Rempe has great underlying numbers so far and he might actually improve the bottom 6 and produce if they played him more than 4 minutes and told him to stop fighting every game.

Yeah and I’d like him to continue that instead of fighting everybody in the league

I think he and Edstrom have (hopefully and finally) proved to the organization that they no longer need Goodrow next season. Buy him out.

Vesey Edstrom Rempe will be the 4th line next year.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

need our D to wake up and for Goodrow to get his head out of his ass in the D zone. not worried about our offense

 

[hardnosed]

Two straight games against competitors for the Stanley Cup.

Florida has a heck of a roster, good measuring stick game.

Exactly. And right before the trade deadline. Funny how that works.

Toronto is nowhere near a competitor for the Stanley Cup lol

In a groundbreaking revelation that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, it has been discovered that New York Rangers rookie, Matt Rempe, possesses a skull that defies all known principles of human evolution. Through millennia of natural selection, his cranial structure has evolved into a marvel of biological engineering, culminating in a rare, heavy, stone-like substance that renders it utterly unbreakable. Reminiscent of what Kaapo Kakko’s hands are made of. But that's not all – nestled within this impervious fortress are compounds so exotic and resilient that they render his brain impervious to injury, making him a veritable paragon of human evolution. With each stride on the ice, Rempe embodies the next leap forward in human potential, a testament to the unfathomable depths of evolutionary ingenuity. Truly, in him, we witness the dawn of a new era, where the boundaries of human capability are redefined beyond imagi

Pretty stunning. You said Kravtsov introduced a new era of human evolution, as well. Are we witnessing simultaneous new eras dawning? Do the eras compete in Darwinian fashion? Do they decide to team up to yield a new super-era -- an epoch? Does this news make @Tob delete his account once and for all?

I get looking for a controlled breakout and waiting an extra half second for it to develop, but we had 2 goals scored against us last game because of it, and were hemmed in multiple other times as well. If you’re not sure just clear the effin zone Goodrow.

Had some bad puck luck with deflections both ways last game and lost on a post-out and they won on a post-in. Play better 5 on 5 and that won’t be an issue.

After the trade deadline he’s gonna be back in Hartford

At some point though, we need to clear the zone with possession. 2 goals were scored because of icing it or dumping the puck to the opposing blue line. Especially in the second period, that led to our D getting stuck on the ice for nearly 3 minutes. 2 goals were scored with one D changed and one stuck out there.

You think so? I guess it depends if we add a couple of players. I think Kakko is going to be moved to be honest.

 

[klingsor]

Hope we win in regulation.
Maybe Florida will be overconfident.
Maybe the Rangers can play like the Knicks did yesterday.

We were sloppy nearly all game and struggled getting the puck out.

Hopefully it’s just a one off
