“I’m glad that I scored my first goal, finally,” the 2017 first-round pick said after his fifth NHL game. “It’s something special and I’m very glad my first goal was in Madison Square Garden.”

“It’s great to see,” said Chris Kreider, who added his 16th of the year in the third period. “There were a couple times Fil took off tonight and you could see he’s a bit of a horse there, flying down the outside.”

Home ice is officially behind us. Time to give the kids more minutes/responsibility.

[4EverRangerFrank]

WOW! Such an early GDT - Phil must be excited about this game,

 

--OR--

 

Trying to rush the end of the season.

 

:rofl:

[ThirtyONE]

This game sucks. Oilers were supposed to beat the Canucks the other night, did not, and now we play the Hurricane who are dog shit. 10th from bottom seems our likely resting place.

This.

 

Just get to the draft already.

[Gravesy]

They're going to go ahead and give the Canes a good rogering, aren't they :palm:

[Kevin]

Yep, they are. 5-2 Rangers win.

The latter.

Looking like shit already

[Phil]

Good. Would help to be literally losing, but there's still forty minutes left! :rofl:

the rangers suck at tanking

Shorthanded, no less.

Right, stupid Hayes. It's like he's playing for a contract or something. What an asshole.

[SaveByRichter35]

Is that faceoff stat correct? We're #1 in the league?

[Long live the King]

Carolina is #1

[SaveByRichter35]

Oh shit, I didn't realize how much I scrolled :palm:

This GDT is rockin.

[RodrigueGabriel]

Wasn't saying that tanking is good or that anyone is an asshole for scoring. Just that if you were actually trying to tank, scoring SH would represent super triple turbo suckage.

Truly a Pyrrhic victory. So stupid.

This is becoming really frustrating.
