You'd think it would result in penalties. It doesn't seem to matter when it's the Rangers and the playoffs. Retaliation penalties seem to be what refs like to call. So, maybe the plan should be to hit them first. Set the pace. Let them react.

Washington knows how to push the Rangers buttons. Wilson, Dowdy, Ovechkin and Oshie will be walking the line and hitting everyone in sight. Heck, they dressed Mcllrath in their last game (he owned Rempe in the A).. They can and will play ragged and go over the line. If the Rangers can play through that, it's a piece of cake. I think they can . With that said, Zibanejad and Panarin really need to play with their heads up and eyes on the back of their heads, but also take it to them and act like they like it. Don't back down. Don't let old men Oshie and Ovie knock you down a peg.

Trocheck leads the team in ES goals with 8.

Meh. Miller had a 40 point season last year, Kakko and Chytil had their best seasons. Schneider was a rookie and looked absolutely fantastic, earning the job over 2 vets... GG had Kreider at 50 goals the year prior and had Panarin playing great with Ryan Strome that year as well. I think a lot of the anti GG stuff is a bit exaggerated. He lost the room. He always loses the room. He's definitely not youth friendly with forwards, but he rolled with a very young D in Fox, Lindgren, Miller and Schneider. Let's not seriously disparage 2- 100 point seasons as if that can be done with anyone behind the bench. He did good enough for his time here, for how he coaches. Laviolette is just head and shoulders a better coach than GG and it shows in the product on the ice.

Sam's going to go into a presidential alzheimers spell, then snap out of it thinking there was a brawl, when he sees all the players with no jerseys on.

The Donald Trump trophy!!!

MVP Most Valuable Panarin

Sam- "Chabot. Mayyyybe related to Cabot cheese company. Joe, what do you think " Joe- "Shut..... UP".

Batherson. No relation to Showerson.

They're trying to feed Panarin so he can get closer to 50 goals. Gonna happen all night

Pinto spelled different than poorly located gas tank.

They're really trying to get Panarin to 50.

"There is no Dana only Zub". Zub takes a bad penalty

Fox is back to where you should expect him to be. Elite level.

Kappo Slasho, has been really careless with his stick lately. Fuckin kid still hasn't figured out how to use his stick.
