Pre-Game Talk: Season opener @ Blues

[BroadwayBlues]

Tank for McDavid.

 

[New York RKY]

I don't see how we'll make the playoffs if we lose this game.

 

[silverfish]

• Lundqvist lets in another softie
• Glass sucks
• Klein sucks
• Malone is slow
• Look at Tarasenko, where's McIlrath?
• The refs suck
• TJ Oshie is an American God
• Talbot >>>> Hank AINEC
• Duclair = bust

That everything?

 

[JohnC]

Season's over

 

[Zil]

Tank for McDavid.

You've got it backward. We have no first so McDavid would have to tank for us so he can drop to one of our second round picks.

Looks good, but *Lundpads for good measure.

Rangers will come out flying and surprise the Blues with their speed. Get a ton of chances but maybe only cache in on 1 if they're lucky.

Blues will come out in the second and use their physical play to pound the Rangers hard and neutralize their speed, pretty much own the second period. Score will be tied or Blues up by 1 or so.

Third period will be pretty even, back and forth, both teams playing to their strengths at times, could end up either way

I say this because it's basically how every preseason game and many games last year went!

If Stepan was playing

1-Stepan is too slow
2-Stepan is a 2C at best
3-Guys at my rec center are better than Stepan

 

[Kakko]

I really can't remember the last time we beat them.

As seen, we have the most trouble with the big teams that skate well (Kings, Bruins, Sharks, Ducks, and the Blues). But it's a whole new season, so let's start out strong.

Translation: we have trouble with good teams

 

[Kane One]

I don't see how we'll make the playoffs if we lose this game.

Didn't we lose two preseason games vs. the Devils? The season's already over in my book.

 

[nevesis]

Might as well get them out of the way now:

-This is a bad hockey team
-Could this team use Sean Avery?
-Rick Nash is terrible
-Not tough enough
-Tarasenko

"It's only pre-season"

 

[nevesis]

If Stepan was playing

1-Stepan is too slow
2-Stepan is a 2C at best

1. He is.
2. He is.
3. I know tons of non-pro's who skate better than him....

 

[nevesis]

Tank for McDavid.

Wouldn't be opposed to that...

 

[Zil]

Wouldn't be opposed to that...

You must really want to do Tampa a favor.

 

[nevesis]

You must really want to do Tampa a favor.

Forgot about that, oh well, we won't finish in last anyway.

 

[AHB*]

Forgot about that, oh well, we won't finish in last anyway.

Dude, Islanders traded for Leddy, we're done.

 

[Gardner McKay]

You must really want to do Tampa a favor.

well played zil

 

[Nash Money]

Might as well get them out of the way now:

-This is a bad hockey team
-Could this team use Sean Avery?
-Rick Nash is terrible
-Not tough enough
-Tarasenko

-Should have never named McDonagh captain

Zucc will have to carry this team on his back once again, just like he did last year. And he didn't even get a letter...

 

[Doctyl]

Zucc will have to carry this team on his back once again, just like he did last year. And he didn't even get a letter...

How did he carry the team on his back?

 

[Thirty One]

Zucc will have to carry this team on his back once again, just like he did last year. And he didn't even get a letter...

That's a good one, too. Add it to the list!

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Zucc will have to carry this team on his back once again, just like he did last year. And he didn't even get a letter...

Zucc is an important piece of the puzzle and we all love him, but carry the team on his back? Really?

A letter? As much as I like Zucc, he doesn't deserve a letter more than the 5 guys who got them. I'd even put Nash, D. Moore and maybe even Hags above him.

 

[Zuccarello Awesome*]

The Blues don't scare me.

They match up better against the big teams, but they're not a speed team.

Rangers win 4-2 with goals from St. Louis, Kreider, Duclair, and a PPG from Dan Boyle.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Is it a moral victory if we lose in OT on a deflection off Girardi?

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Let's Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
