Racking my pea brain and came up with Rangers 3-2 shootout win. Unless Kinky shits the bed. Let's go Rangers.

[Sod16]

Georgiev is not a three in four nights kind of guy.

[Albatrosss]

5-1 caps.

Rangers relegated to the AHL

Why can’t we get Gauthier in Blackwell’s spot and move Blackwell to the 4th line?

That was actually a really solid PP. Just missed the finish

2 minutes O-zone time on the PP. Maybe 1 SOG?

All they do is pass either behind or to their off hand basically forcing them to protect and cycle rather than really ever being in a great shooting position. Whole lot of nothing.

The only on the PP that is in a position to shoot is Panarin, so its really easy to defend.

 

Fox can shoot a wrister from the blueline, but on the PK you’ll take that. Strome can(will) never get a shot off from his position, Kreider stuck in front and Mika hiding in the middle of the PK’ers.

 

Whats the plan on the PP besides passing around untill Panarin may be open for a one-timer?

 

And why is our point leader and best player of the season not playing on the PP when the usual 5 has been bad all season?

We don’t look nearly as good as yesterday

[Cash or Czech]

Quinn must’ve called down to the bench to put Howden with Panarin and Strome after Blackwell’s last shift
