JJ in VA

Jimmy's not in my youth core I've mentioned often, as he's a tweener (Ha..31-next month). But, I like this guy. To me, that's the type of grinder we need and he mentors the youngsters. I'd love to see JV go off this series with that GW (s), and his crucial D. He and KK are my sleepers. This will be the breakout season for many of our core. This is their time.

I know. I was going Braveheart.

In fact, after riding his ass all year and my stupid "Kreider Watch" bullshit. I'd have to fellate the young man.

Man would I love that. I swear, I'm serious. CK will have his 6-8 goals over the 20 games. The Best net front gut I've ever seen He'll be even or +2, 8-9 pats/hits, 5-7 A, 20 SOG and avg. 18:30 TOI. But no, he won't win MVP. Will he hustle? No. Will he be soft along the boards, fail to carry the puck or consistently cause TO's? Yes. But, if for just one day, he could summon the strength to face our enemies.................we would drink from thy cup !

Wow! You really are a buzz kill. Maybe that crown you wear should be removed. Panarin: 30 points in 16 games. Post that Larry !

Which first line is that? ?

In my mind he is a pertinent cog to the future of this upcoming core: Chy, Lindy, Laffy, KK, Fox, Cuylle, Miller, Schneids, Jones, Eds and Rempe. Lot's of miles left on our keys vets, and some call-ups too. I'm cautious about a return now for Chytl, but so very optimistic of his future and the NYR.

16 Wins in 20 games.

WTF - Cuylle, Trouba, Trocheck, Lindy, Gus and Vesey, etc... are soft ??? No! F-that bullshit. CHRIS KREIDER is soft.

Man I hope so Oz. I picked 6 but want 4. We've got 3 guys now that can at least "measure - stand" up to Wilson. If they had to, Cuylle and Trouba can throw, and that tempers other Caps. But, our best strategy is not take the bait, let Wilson sit in box. Can't help but thinking about how nice it would be to see Matty rag-dog that POS. We still owe him for the Breadman.

Try living with these ass hats. 11 houses on my "sac" and six of them rocking their red. Hate the Caps too.

I pumped and dumped. NYR in 6

I have my men's grill couch all lined up with NYR gear; Cap, blanket, t-shirt, Panarin sweater and hoodie. All have to be placed just right. The morning of I make sure to wear my lucky underwear and socks Oh, and the "cone of silence" with phone off, doors locked.... I have game DVR'd and start exactly 20 minutes out. No commercial interruptions.

Understood, and that's acknowledged. Not mad at him, just frustrated. All I have ever said is that he's soft. For a 6'3" 235 pounder, he should secure more pucks and complete his checks. His lack of open-ice puck handing is mind-blowing. He's Mr. Hot Potato ! My hope is that he's holding back for an all-out Cup run of epic proportions. Imagine if CK gave an extra 10- or 20% ! He'd be unstoppable, and so would his team.

Wow. No more superlatives required. Marching on.... No home feed tonight so listening to the Avs TV crew was painful. Some asshat team of Moser & Rycroft. Homers x 10. But, even they were riding Kreider hard. At one point, Moser says "the player that just took a spill while "cherry-picking" was Chris Kreider!" Kreider Watch: G: 1 A: 0 -1 SOG: 3 Hits: 1 20:14 Poinyetta Meter: 9 out of 10. CK proved to be his cherry-picking self. The one-trick pony got his goal. Yet, the succession of turnovers in both zones almost resulted in a loss. He's the Bob Dole of playing hard.

Yes, it can be us. What a core group of players, both veteran and ute. I was 32 in 94. I'm 62 today. I'd like to see say.......three to four more in my lifetime. I can feel it. It will happen. Let's Go Rangers ! Kreider Watch: G: 0 A: 0 Hits: 3 SOG: 1 20:21 Poinyetta Meter: 8 out of 10. I counted four soft turnovers along the boards. Franklin, I only saw one hit but the official count said three. He gave Rempe some good hand though.

Kreider Watch G:0 A: 1 +2 SOG: 4 H: 1 14:46 Poinyetta Meter: 9 out of 10 Soft as the center of the Peeps in his pants.

These three defeats were sweet. The next four against them will be sweeter. Great road W. JJ

Aye lads, We're gonna spank their arses like PhillyB scrubs his cabbage. Relentlessly bangin his corned beef like it was his sisters biscuit. Seamus pities the fish heads and their whoring lassies.

Absolutely play him. He's a forechecking machine. Twice the wingspan as Jonny B. Get him in rhythm now. He really is a 200-foot skater.

Only way I can watch. Can't lose focus on game. No phone, no laptop, just Rangers. Come up for air after......A BIG WIN !

Always nice to beat Pens. A lot to work on defensively for sure. So, it's Fish Heads for brunch tomorrow. Shesty will be frothing. Kreider Watch: 1 G 2 A 3 SOG +1 1 Hit 19:05 Poinyetta Meter: Nil Holly crap, CK has another "best of" game. I'm totally embarrassed to have dared to question his pulse. I'm delighted to be dead wrong. LGR JJ

CK, the hugger misses his lil' Zibby Cup. Today's the day to make an effort worthy of your alleged status. Step the fuch up Chrissy ! I expect dominance today. Make it so ! CONE OF SILENCE - Going under for a while. I'll pop up around 5:38PM.

I've got nothing to add. 1st period I was thinking superlative effort. Then, the inevitable let down. Poor Griffin (dog in photo) is recovering well. I really shouldn't take it out on him. Kreider Watch: G: 0 A: 1 H: 0 -1 15:48. Poinyetta Meter: 8 out of 10. He's applying vagisil as we speak. Heading North (or south, east, west - I don't farging know) to PA.

Trivia is Matt Dumbass KK continues strong possession play. G and 2 apples. Rangers 6-2
