Kakko scores 8 goals and has 7 assists or this place has a meltdown.

 

[FultonReed]

all Barc has to do is win faceoffs and make space for KK and Laf.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Scor]

I hope Kakko plays tonight. It would be interesting to see what kind of chemistry he can build with Lafreniere heading into the playoffs.

 

[bl02]

Kakko scores 8 goals and has 7 assists or this place has a meltdown.

Or would settle for a couple of shots on goal and some zone time. Expectations since that great day in 2019 when he was drafted have dropped big time. for now that’s fine we just need him to chip in here and there

 

[Killem Dafoe]

KAKKOS BACK!

Looks like Gallant is dressing 15 forwards and 4 defensemen.

Robocop is one of my fave movies of all time growing up. Expect big time quotes from the movie from me.

Robocop, the source of one of my favorite quotes to use randomly.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Welcome back Kakko and Rooney! Guessing Motte's injury means more ice time for Rooney in the last couple weeks of the regular season

Too bad RoboCop 2 only had one memorable line...

"Go f*** a refrigerator, pecker neck!"....

I demand a Kakko vs Kessel hot dog eating competition

 

[Cygnus 2112]

The Senators should vote on and pass the bill which proposes they lose tonight so a good ol’ American hockey team can get an ‘X’ next to their name.

 

[Rempe73]

Kakko back? f*** yes I’m ordering pizza

I demand a Kakko vs Kessel hot dog eating competition

Call George Shea at Nathan's.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Rangers clinch a playoff spot with a win, SO loss or Islander regulation loss right?

 

[Krams]

Peak performance

 

[cheech70]

New daily question? Who's playing with Brandon?....one of GG's strength as a manager of a team is his meritocracy!

 

[cheech70]

I'm confused ....did he hurt his wrist from overeating?

 

[McRanger92]

It would be nice to clinch a playoff spot with a W on home ice

 

[GAGLine]

Rangers clinch a playoff spot with a win, SO loss or Islander regulation loss right?

The Rangers magic number is 2. We need some combination of us earning points and them not earning points that equals 2 or more. So we win, we clinch. They lose in regulation, we clinch. We win in OT/SO and they lose in OT/SO, we clinch.

If we lose in OT/SO and they win, they can still technically pass us via the tie-breaker.

Rangers clinch a playoff spot with a win, SO loss or Islander regulation loss right?

This was a good explanation from the NHL website:

The New York Rangers will clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs if:

They defeat the Ottawa Senators in any fashion.

OR

They get one point against the Senators and the Islanders lose to the Blues in any fashion.

OR

The Islanders lose to the Blues in regulation.
