Rangers-Caps opening night

[mrmel29]

Finally opening night is here. Really psyched for the season to start both for the young kids like KAKKO, Laf and Chytil taking another step and to watch this team no longer being manhandled by teams like the isles, caps and Bruins. LETS GO RANGERS!!

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[NYR Fan]

Morning skate lines:

Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kreider
Panarin-Strome-Kakko
Goodrow-Chytil-Hunt
Blais-Rooney-Reaves

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Tinordi-Nemeth

We will find out starting goalie in warmups

 

[NYR Fan]

Looks like Hunt over Gauthier, and Tinordi over Lundkvist. I'd guess for extra toughness and size.

 

[NYR2009]

Yeah, Hunt over Gauthier and Tinordi over Lundksvist is questionable. I assume because it is Caps, and perhaps Dolan wants retribution?

 

[Ranger71]

They need to stay away from that retribution stuff and just concentrate on getting off to a good start. That Wilson stuff is last year and rhey addressed it.

 

[kreidertime]

No Wilson was never made to answer what happened last year it was not acceptable and he has not paid for it yet. That being said Hunt was useless in the preseason I’m not sure what he sees in him. I’m assuming he’s going to play Tinordi because he figures Reeves is going to beat Wilson’s ass whether he wants to fight or not so he might get kicked out

 

[Greyvtrayn]

There will almost certainly be some retribution taken tonight however, I think they are better served playing hard and winning the game. Then when they visit MSG the beatings can commence so the Rangers fans can enjoy in person. If it does go down tonight though I do like that (lord willing) Reeves pummeling Wilson will happen in front of the Caps fans...

 

[Stepupstepan]

Meh… Hunt sucks so does Tinordi. I prefer Gauthier and Hajek. Gauthier was one of the better forwards in the pre season

 

[Ranger71]

Is Shesterkin hurt?

 

[Greyvtrayn]

One more GA and we should find out.

 

[kreidertime]

Blais hits a ton. So glad we got rid of that pussy Buchnevich for him.

 

[mrmel29]

Rangers played a good period outhitting the caps and that will take their toll. 1 pp goal the difference

not a lot of chances, though. Need to create more offensively.

 

[kreidertime]

Get Strome off the fucking first power-play unit he sucks on it

 

[kreidertime]

Why the hell do they insist on not having Kakko on the right wing on the power play where he can one time it. It’s moronic

 

[kreidertime]

Shesterkin is always fucking hurt I’m getting tired of him already.

 

[kreidertime]

That’s what happens when you play a useless schmuck like Tinordi. Wake up Gallant

 

[Rangers94]

Good thing we signed all that “grit” for them to sit out their asses and not drop the gloves at all tonight. What a horrible, horrible decision signing this garbage and these fucking pylon players. We get rid of Staal just to sign more. Fucking retards running this franchise.

 

[NYR31]

That was pretty shitty 5 minutes.

 

[kreidertime]

Hunt and Tinordi should never be dressed that was a terrible decision by Gallant

 

[kreidertime]

That being said it’s going to take a Rangers a least 20 games to get this system down it’s always like that

 

[kreidertime]

This team is fucking totally clueless right now shutting this game off

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Don't turn it off, you'll miss all of the Blais hits.

 

[kreidertime]

He’s not the problem right now the problem is they have to take a while to get used to the system and need to realize that Tishitty and Hunt are not NHL players. That and Strome is not a first pp guy

 

[mrmel29]

Tinordi doesn’t need to play again for a long time. Gallant needs to ride Igor and get this team off to a good start before bad memories start reappearing. In the minority here but Miller is useless at this point and should go down for Jones. He’s a human giveaway who provides no muscle anyway.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Is the problem a lack of offensive creativity and goal scoring? Gallant decides to start all of his hard nosed, physical players meanwhile Laviollette is trying to win a hockey game.
Well at least they can put this game behind them quickly! Home opener tomorrow!
Tinordi and Nemeth...complete disasters.
Also, can TNT not have Gretzky on talking during 5 minutes of actual game-time? WTF was that?

Somebody needs to tell them this is not an NBA game.

 

[Messiah717]

Another game against a top team where the Rangers stars are invisible. I know it's only game one but this isn't what you want to see.

 

[NYR31]

Hope to see a reaction in the 3rd. That was a tough end to the 2nd.
