I was really hoping Hank would get to 30 wins again. There's still a shot, but not if AV doesn't play him.

 

[Levitate]

Can't help but feel this is a dig at Lundqvist

Combined with AV's comments earlier essentially saying Lundqvist wasn't good enough and that's why the team was slipping.

 

[Richard Banger]

I'll be there tomorrow. And after the game I'm guna get lit AF.


Hell who am I kidding? I'll be lit before the game.

You should pre-game getting lit while at the game.

It'll be me and 6 of my buddies going. We'll make sure to be loud and obnoxious.

One of the 6 is a stars fan that will be wearing his Seguin Jersey. So definitely expecting to get into at least one fight.


Either way win or lose. It's going to be lit

 

[EdJovanovski]

This will be one of the games where you really see the difference not having Miller makes. Bozo drunk on St Paddy’s day pressuring Buch to wash the onion rings down with some beer.

6-0 NYR

Zibanejad (3)
Kreider (2)
Buchnevich

I have a feeling that this is AVs final show of power before he is gone. He knows Hank will be the leading force behind him getting sacked so this is his final f*** you to Hank.

 

[Ori]

AV refuse to use Henrik, why?
Henrik should start this game, but whatever.. We`ve soon Lias and he will be called up and we will see new line shuffling in near future, 3 passer won`t be that successful when Hayes & Zucc figure out they are better passers. `grin

Why is`t so hard - send this coach packing - and someone help him to drive him to airport and pack his bags. He obviously miss his closest family near Canada.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Idk, I think everything's reading into it too much. Georgiev's playing well, they have a question of who's the backup next year and Georgiev is being given a chance to prove himself for that role, and Henrik's already played an absurd amount of games in what is now a meaningless season. No issue playing Georgiev again.

 

[Igright]

Any ideas what Lundquist thinks of the situation? Is he satisfied not to stop 40-50 shots every game or worried to stay on the bench?

Pet peeve of mine is people wearing jerseys to teams that aren't playing. Especially if it's from the same sport.

Not sure if it's a "dig" but just may be the truth. While Hank has been outstanding in many games lately, he has had a few rough ones. In comparison Georgiev has been consistently good. 30 wins for Hank doesn't mean crap to the Rangers right now (coming from JG and above) getting games for GG is much more important moving forward.
Also......do we really WANT Hank and the Rangers to win those 5 or 6 more games? Not saying that GG will lose them or should play badly but........a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Also......maybe this steams in Hanks head over the summer and helps to changing his mind about lesser role? I dunno.

 

[Raspewtin]

excited to see Georgiev.

only seen highlights lately but looks good.

 

[Larrybiv]

Yeah

Yeah, makes no sense. Unless your his boyfriend/girlfriend or that actual player. In this case Seguin. And I would think he wouldn't be scouting a Rangers game.......or would he?

I was wearing my Frolunda Andersson jersey at the Sweden-Czech Republic game in the WJC in December and I got a warm-up puck out of it haha

 

[Larrybiv]

The Blues are trying hard to rectify their ship. Sending a serious message trading away Stastny at deadline. Gonna be a loss for the boys in blue......just hoping for a solid showing for the kids. Don't want embarrassment in any shape or form.
Don't know why, but i still believe that Buch is gonna break out soon. Kreids and Zbad have been scoring now it's Buch turn.

Awesome, any reason as to why u may have been blessed with that? Any connection in your mind? Or, simply luck?

 

[Harbour Dog]

I have a feeling that this is AVs final show of power before he is gone. He knows Hank will be the leading force behind him getting sacked so this is his final **** you to Hank.

Maybe, also could be possible that Gorton is in his ear a bit about trying out the kid and not necessarily winning every game.

I remember an interview with Ron Wilson where he discussed that exact scenario happening while he was with the Leafs.

EDIT - found an article talking about it; looks like it was while he was coaching the '98-'99 Capitals.

Did Ron Wilson admit Capitals GM told him to tank season?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Well, I bought tickets behind the benches and Lias noticed me, tossed a puck and it's on my desk at work now. I was as happy as that kid who that stick from Buch haha

I decided to bring the Frolunda jersey with me on my trip because I didn't have my Sweden Andersson jersey yet (delivery was delayed).

I think it's more about finding out if Georgie is good enough for next season's role as a backup and maybe we don't need to sign a vet G than it is anything about Lundqvist

 

[Morten]

I'm pretty sure Hank and AV aren't very happy with eachother lately, a few days ago I read an article where Lundqvist said it annoys him a lot he gets pulled from games where the team is bleeding high quality chances, specifically he mentioned the match where Tampa had 22 chances in 30minutes and he got pulled after the misplay behind the goal

 

[Kovalev27]

It’s no longer about Henrik Lundqvist. We have to move on as an organization and do what’s best for our future. Right now it’s about evaluating a 22 year old goalie that is showing he belongs. That’s far more important than getting a hall of Famer 4 more w’s to pad his record.

It rarely happens, but here we agree
