Looks like Sam did the Rangers pre-game thread. Connauton on the 3rd pair.

Rangers need a win to clinch a playoff spot. Rangers struggling. Jackets have won one in a row. Were the 5 goals portending another scoring drought? Lundqvist gave up 3 on 5 shots last game. Vows to improve.
Is the tank in danger? Both Ranger and Jackets fans concerned.

A match up for the ages.

 

[We Want Ten]

CBJ get some revenge.

CBJ 4
NYR 0

 

[Dr. Fire]

Rangers will be desperate. Jackets will be figuring out tee times. Rags win this one.

 

[Cowumbus]

The young guns lead us to victory

Many games effecting the draft sweepstakes tonight

korpi starts
hartnell and Bourque scratched.

Bob is better for The Tank though...oh, maybe he'll start on Wednesday?

We're scratching Hartsy to play Boll on Fan Appreciation Night?

Maybe it's one last send off for Boller before they buy him out / send him to Cleveland?

If not for the third pair I'd bet CBJ win this for Korpi 4-2

 

[KJ Dangler]

I hope the young kids represent like the last game. Korpi = bad for the tank. Bob better bring his big boy pants to camp next fall, sure looks like he will be fighting for his job. Same for other veterans, Torts wants to reshape this team, and he wants guys that will go all out. Going to be an interesting offseason.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Look up Foligno's last 12 games.

No points and a -11 rating.

Torts probably wants to win this one, so my guess is that his aim is to to keep dumb penalties to minimum.
Then again, 3rd pair

 

[Kev22]

$25M of salary either injured, scratched or on the bench. That's 1/3 of your total salary. Doesn't look good for the front office.

I'm not arguing that El Capitan is playing well.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Who can blame Foligno? Captain goes down with his tank

To be fair...a lot of those are injuries. And Bourque was just a one-year salary retention in the Wiz deal. He's gone in a week.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Those lines suck

 

[niflheim]

Go Jackets! Must Win

You mean scratched?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Hartsy played like crap since TDL

Wouldn't you if you didn't get the one thing you wanted on your Christmas list?
