Go Rangers!!

 

Cody McCloud is out as well with a boo-boo.

[Gravesy]

So boys, let's try to find a way to engineer a loss in this one eh?

[Phil]

Seriously. Fuck this game. Lose. By a country mile.

You this is the one where they finally win at Barclays

[ThirtyONE]

Must lose game. Simple as that. A win puts us in 10th. A loss puts us in 9th with a shot at 8th (from bottom).

[Ozzy]

Did Kreider really say that?? I wouldn't be surprised!!!!

[Parsley]

LOSE!

There is absolutely no reason to win. None other than fan ego.

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Need to put on a good showing for Tavares

[Phil]

Definitely need more pregame from the pizzeria next season.

The Islanders own the Rangers. I see no reason to believe that will change tonight.

[Parsley]

Stop winning!

Plenty of time left to lose. I'm not worried.

[4EverRangerFrank]

I?m shocked that he would admit that publicly. Is this true?

[Slobberknocker]

[josh]

[josh]

I’m shocked that he would admit that publicly. Is this true?

No he didn't say that. GDT OP are never accurate.
