GDT: Game # 68 - New York Rangers @ Detroit Red Wings - 7:30pm EST - TNT (Pirates of the Caribbean edition)

[Holocene]

Rangers have the 2nd highest ES goals since the deadline, 13 in 4 games.

They ranked 23rd prior to the deadline.

are the pens the only team ahead of us because of their wings trouncing? i dont remember how many of those were es/pp

 

[Leonardo87]

Expect big time games from Yves Racine and Gerard Gallant.

Gallant is playing? Sweet!

 

[ohbaby]

We're all going to be doing that after Frankie V buries a couple of more tonight.

 

[hackeyman]

Is that Kate Upton?

Yes, SI Swimsuit shoot.

 

[hackeyman]

Gallant is playing? Sweet!

I'm sure most Red Wing fans wish he was behind their bench. I was pretty surprised he didn't end up there.

7 were at even strength, 3 on the PP and 1 SH.

They have 13 total in 5 games. 4 of the other 6 all came in one game against Columbus. They had 1 against Buffalo and 1 in 2 games against us.

Edit: When Pittsburgh beat us 1-0, it was a PP goal, so they only have 1 even strength goal and 3 PP goals against us this year in 3 games.

Edit2: Florida has 13 in 4 games and Carolina has 16 in 5 games.

Still waiting for the inevitable home stand that seemingly has to come…

Feels like we play every single game on the road.

So true and a ton of B2B's on the road. Brutal schedule tbh. I can't remember if they have played more than 2 games in a row at home all year. It's been so disjointed. They play zero games for 2 weeks in early February and then have to play 35 games in a little over 2 months. The good news is they play 10 of their last 14 games at home and they do actually play 3 games in a row at home during that stretch.

Jack Sparrow healthy scratched. For insubordination, I heard.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

He’s still been the worst goalie in the league in all but 1 of his last 5 games

Oh I know. Not meant as a pro Georgiev post. More of a pro Rangers post winning in spite of bad goaltending.

Anyone know if the Rangers had a morning skate today? I'm waiting for an update of whether Strome is playing or not. Apparently he wasn't ruled out and did travel with the team.

After tonights Game - there are 14 regular season Games left in April. 10 of them at MSG, 4 on the Road. All close by on the East Coast. New Jersey, Philly, Long Islanders and Boston. Talk about a light travel schedule. This might be very good...

It will be very disappointing if they aren't able to secure home ice against the flightless birds. No excuses.

Flyers actually

I remember in 05-06, the last time we had a team that hadn't made the postseason in a while, they lost I think like 6 straight heading into the postseason sweep by the Devils.

It didn't help that Rucinsky broke his... hand? (I think) but it was still a big time collapse and Henrik had those teeth-grinding migraine problems.

Drury the magician.

2 home games against the Canes as well. Lets get the #1 seed

Flyers actually

This is correct. My numbers from earlier were including 5v6 and 4v4 goals.

Flyers have 14 5v5 goals in 5 games since the deadline. On a per game basis, Rangers are still tied for 2nd though. Seattle has 11 in 3 games.

 

[CenturionOne]

Braun on the left?

I mean why not try him instead of Nemeth?

Let's hope not

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Braun on the left?

Get me that German pairing!

 

[Fitzy]

Let's hope not

Let's not pretend we're not a better team with an extra 2nd line center.

 

[Holocene]

I can see a letdown being we play the majority of games against teams outside the playoffs. After all these are the NY Rangers we're talking about. I think we were fortunate we beat Buffalo the other night.

It's too bad we don't play our remaining games against all playoff teams. LOL

nah we out played sabres for a majority of that game. geo was not good. this team however, since the deadline, hasn’t really needed either goalie to steal games. haven’t relied on the pp to score as much either, which is good since we’ve had only 1 pp in each of the last 3 games lol. a lot of es goals.

 

[rangers1314]

Get me that German pairing!

peak efficiency

 

[OTGHockey]

History suggests a close game tonight.

8 of the last 12 between these two teams in Detroit have gone to OT (including shootout)
13 of the last 14 have been decided by one goal
