Morphinity 2.0

Hopefully here.

Literally heard of this guy for the first time last week, and my disappointment that the Rangers couldn't trade for him is immeasurable.

Probably buy him out. $3.8M cap hit next season and $2M the season after that.

You're taking Zibanejad over Hughes? Bruh.

They should be moving way more than Roslovic. That team STINKS.

They're going to get a good goalie though. They're not going to sit on their hands with Vanecek, Schmid, or Daws for their whole window.

He reminds me of a utility player in baseball - decent enough, plays #TheRightWay, can play any position in your lineup, and will go one short hot streaks.

I definitely think they need to look at it. The PGA Tour will be totally different next year anyway.

They've always had it the week of the Superbowl, and it wasn't really an issue until this year when weather delays caused them to run up on half of the game. Usually, they have final round tee-times early enough that the tournament is over like an hour before kickoff. It's just a freak thing to have that kind of weather in the desert on consecutive days. The Pebble Beach debacle last week is a different story. The weather there is always shitty this time of year.

My urologist's name is, I shit you not, Dr. Seaman. The guy was destined to cut balls.

Congratu-dolences!

Definitely. We always knew Dolan was a meddler, but I think we hoped he was more into the Knicks lately.

I don think it's about people watching on TV. He probably wants to go on stage, bring all his kids, illegitimate or otherwise, and have a fuckin' party in his gaudy monstrosity. I will say, I'm fine with them keeping their 1st rounder off limits. None of the names available even remotely pique my interest - other than maybe Vatrano. If a guy like Jenner or Zegras were to shake loose, I'd be more interested in floating the 1st rounder.

The rebuild went out the window when the Rangers got Kakko and then Panarin signed. At that point, it was business as usual.

It's about time you lost a fantasy trade!

I think, by Valiquette's metrics, the Rangers are last or near last in rush chances against. That's going to consistently put undue stress on your goaltending.

Feels it

With both of those games being weeknights, you'll probably have less people milling about at the bars pre-game, but a few decent spots would be Stout, Celtic Rail, Blarney Stone. Other than that, I think your best bet would just to get in for warmups at 6:30. I think doors open at like 6 or so.

Hope they wearing the flying skate jersey and the Rangers wear home whites
