Pre-Game Talk: HOCKEY IS BACK!!! LIGHTNING @ RANGERS TOMORROW, 7:30PM EASTERN

[Larrybiv]

What a sick sense of humor the NHL schedule makers have.
I mean, really? The Lightning as our 1st opponent?
Just a little reminder of that I'll fated series? Pathetic.

 

[Larrybiv]

seemingly. is doubtful for tomorrow.

Unfrigginbelievable. I mean, can or will Sammy EVER play another game for the Rangers?
Been waiting almost 10 months (or whatever) and still believe he may have made a big difference.
And still want to kick Sluppan where the sun doesn't shine.

 

[RGY]

Both Carpenter and Reaves are basically skating in quicksand at this point in their careers. Would rather it be...

Vesey - Rydahl - Goodrow

...but alas!

Carpenter has been a quality 4th line defense focused player in his career. Really not going to be up in arms about it. Splitting hairs really. I preferred Rydahl but I dont think its the end of the world and we probably will see him at some point.

 

[Mac n Gs]

There’s a reason why Rooney got 1+ And Carpenter didn’t. He’s a downgrade on an already mediocre 4C

Yes, the reason is that Brad Treliving gave him a bad contract with him coming off of a terrible season. Everyone would be panning Drury for giving Rooney 2x$1.3M after last year. Regardless, I think most of this is just overreacting to preseason games that do not significantly matter, while Carpenter will continue to be a boring, known commodity throughout the year. And like I've said previously, if it doesn't work out, they can simply waive him with no consequences for Rydahl if he's showing that he's acclimating well to NA.

 

[Daves a mess]

Can't believe the prophecy is finally being fulfilled, I'm going to shed tears seeing him skate out there when they call his name. People may think I'm wrong in my projections but go back and read the early pages of the Krav thread, I was the only one who believed. I willed this into existence when everyone thought it couldn't be done. LFG

Are you doing this creepy shit strictly for attention now?

The Bern & Jovo show on the horizon?

 

[jaywills1020]

$1.75M for Reaves is painful

Who would you rather have? Serious question.

 

[Fitzy]

Who would you rather have? Serious question.

I’d rather Hunt/Vesey be the spare and have that 1.75 in space accumulate for the deadline.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Are they doing 3rd jerseys again this season or was that next season?

Could be making that up altogether lol

Really? I think most fans love the rematch

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I think my roster prediction was accurate outside of the Blais injury. Id honestly rather Vesey join line 3 tho

 

[TominNC]

we really need a facepalm reaction up in this joint

I’d wear it out between Ed and bern

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Who would you rather have? Serious question.

Goodrow.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

6-1 OTL

 

[FultonReed]

6-1 OTL

missed this a lot, not gonna lie

 

[Larrybiv]

Really? I think most fans love the rematch

Yes, really. I wouldn't mind the re-match if we had been on the winning side of that series.
If we beat them tomorrow night, then some will say.....a little too late for that, OR something like; what does that prove? We lose, then it's the usual complaining.
I would like them to have a great early season start, get a jump on most other teams in the division.
Especially since many here are expecting a "step back", whereas I am very hopeful that we actually might "improve a bit", especially 5v5.
Btw, I don't like Kaapo being separated from Filip and especially Laffy. Did you see that nice give and go with Laffy late 3rd period v Islanders?
Chemistry is forming, but I guess maybe Coach knows best

 

[Hire Sather]

Who would you rather have? Serious question.

The cap space.

 

[ViD]

74,000-0 NYR

Kravtsov (74,000)

Can't believe the prophecy is finally being fulfilled, I'm going to shed tears seeing him skate out there when they call his name. People may think I'm wrong in my projections but go back and read the early pages of the Krav thread, I was the only one who believed. I willed this into existence when everyone thought it couldn't be done. LFG

He scores at least a point tomorrow. Book it

EdJovos a mess

 

[will1066]

Here are your Pizza Hut 8 Keys to the Game:

- Don't let the 4th line on the ice
- Stay out of the penalty box - that way, Carpenter and Vesey don't get minutes
- Give Kravtsov a quick hook if he doesn't do anything constructive
- Let Kakko run wild - rock out the Kakk out
- Let Laf run wild on 2nd line if Kravtsov is pulled
- Reconstitute the Kid Line if the situation gets desperate for offense
- Let Blais hit every Bolt in his sight
- Hypnotize Panarin into believing Trocheck is Strome

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

And after all of the BS with Kravstov, here he is, starting on the 2nd line with Panarin to open the 22-23 season.

I want him to succeed and rooting for the kid, but no one can say he didn't get a chance. He was putrid in preseason and is basically being handed a top 6 position, and the games count now.

Yes. He should be given a pretty long extender leash to get his legs under him, but for his own good he's gotta go out and prove some shit fairly quickly IMO and thats his own doing.

LGR

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I'm pumped for this. f***ing crush them.

Also, so pumped for Kakko's incoming breakout season.

 

[wolfgaze]

Last season's home opener was blacked out for 24 hours for those of us who were trying to access with our ESPN+ subscriptions.

Will this game definitely be available on ESPN+ tomorrow night?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

It should have been a SCF rematch for the opener, instead Avs get to play a tuneup game vs the Rockford Icehogs and we gotta play Bolts, such bs.

It’s nice that the Rangers are an opening night draw again.

They both love to masturbate while thinking about themselves.
