Pre-Game Talk: Ottawa vs Rangers 7:00 PM ET

[HSF]

This is basically the Toronto situation from a few years ago, it seems. The team forever caught between a rebuild and contendership.

They'll terrorize teams in the playoffs and then just when they're looking like they're about to put it all together and take the next step, they make a trade, fall off a cliff, sell off players, or get an internal budget.

Just seems like a waste to trade Turris, a first, third, and Hammond to just turn around and go back to the drawing board. Not to mention the fact that Duchene has not been great.

I'd hope for a win, but let's see. These guys tend to step up against us.

Sounds like you just described the NYR

 

[Rullailija]

Doubt we'll see Zib tonight....he was on the ice for the last practice but he hasn't been cleared for contact.

Yeah, he didn't travel to Ottawa.

Will be at the game tonight!

Sens are not doing so well, so I got tickets for like....$13 - nosebleeds.

LGR!

 

[Captain Lindy]

I watched some of the Buffalo game last night and was hoping Ottawa would get that win so they wouldn't be overdue for a win tonight.

They were over in Buffalo last night and got an L. They look bad but they still can score if given space. Karlsson didn’t look too hot last night when I went to the game.

Also Ryan I’m not sure if he’s playing. He got decked last night

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Rangers win 7-1. Guy Boucher and his awful, boring ass brand of hockey are banished forever. Sens roster carnage begins. Sounds good. LGR!

But his really cool scar stays.

Those are not encouraging words considering the way the Rangers let opposing players skate around their end with impunity.

Maybe to an island in the Caribbean?...

I wonder if that "new" foot is giving him trouble.

To me he was skating okay from the little bit of game I watched, not sure.

You cant even buy a street gyro and a can of pop for that outside MSG.

 

[offdacrossbar]

nothing less than a legit beatdown tonight. the sens are down right awful. they are not making the playoffs and they know it. they cant score. karlsson wants out. this team is a dumpster fire right now.

therefore....

we lose 4-2.

 

[trilobyte]

The Rangers are thespians at heart, so they lean toward making a drama of it.
I would prefer the re-establish their road warrior personage.

MSG food is either getting more expensive or worse in quality , think it's both actually. I always try and eat before I go to a game.

Drinks before the game but I always leave the room for Carnegie Deli pastrami and corned beef sandwich!

Something definitely seems off about him this year.

 

[will1066]

Oh god, we're gonna go after another marquee big-name player whose game is going to start declining.

I've taken to eating at Black Iron Burgers (either the 7th Ave. or the 38th St. location) before a game.

It will be good to watch EK tonight more closely. He has always been a joy to watch play the game but there is a little more going on now obviously.
Just my own feeling is that an acquisition like Karlsson isn't really what Gorton would do, even without any perceived health risk. At least I hope so.

I usually go to Casa Nonna, Tony DiNapoli’s, Tavollo’s, Keen’s Steakhouse, 5 Napkin, or may go to Rare Bar on Lexington. How is Black Iron? Heard about them. But never tried them,

 

[Alluckks]

Happy to keep Zib out.

Teams always love to take runs at their former players for whatever reason, whether there was bad blood or not.

We can afford to keep out one of our most valuable players for an extra couple days to ensure he is good to go.

I hope Karlsson isn't declining. He's a great player and is great for the game.
