QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

[td=align: center]

"I think they're very committed. I think they feel that they have an opportunity to make the playoffs and they need to play well throughout the final stretch I think there's also some belief they can play like they did the second half last year when they went on quite a roll."

The Rangers and Mika getting some confidence, Buffalo on a thirteen game losing streak, what could go wrong?

Ozzy · March 22, 2021

We got this right???

-Buffalo currently has a nice LONG losing streak....

-We're coming off a great win against a very tough team....

-Mika seems to have found that spark....

-Buffalo's backup goalie is playing....

-Eichel is out of the lineup....

Oh yeah, it all adds up!!! :rofl:

Flynn · March 22, 2021

This somehow has “Jeff Skinner 5 point game” written all over it.

LindG1000 · March 22, 2021

Sharpshooter · March 22, 2021

Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry has the same number of points as Jeff Skinner.

paddynyc · March 22, 2021

LOL !!!! Good one Phil, this place will lose it if they lose.

Rangers skate by 4-1

BlairBettsBlocksEverything · March 22, 2021

not for long..... 7-1 Sabres win. Skinner with a Natty Hatty and an apple to boot

Why do I get the feeling this is exactly what will happen? lol Ugh. I am keeping the faith.

Ozzy · March 22, 2021

Nah, after further review, I'm still rolling with our boys:

Going with a 5-3 Rangers win.

I'm taking Fox with 3 assists tonight...and a few more Norris votes!!! :thumbs:

Buffalo didnt play this weekend due to COVID.

And, according to the radio, they might be starting their ECHL goalie?

Uh oh! :rofl:

Nah, I have to turn the page on all that old vibe crap from days of yesteryear.

New time/New team/New Vibe!

We win this one going away tonight, Josh man!! I hope they fill the freakin' net with 8 or 9 again!!

Sharpshooter · March 22, 2021

You always hate playing a team just after they hire a new coach and staff too, plus they are due. So, we'll see.

LindG1000 · March 22, 2021

Oh fuck. So they're rested and they're starting a guy who has never played in the NHL?

Sharpshooter · March 22, 2021

This was on the Sabres' website in their pregame report:

On Friday, the team signed goaltender Michael Houser, who had been on an AHL deal with the Rochester Americans, to a one-year NHL contract. Then on Saturday, the team acquired a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft in exchange for goaltender Jonas Johansson.

Carter Hutton and Dustin Tokarski are the goalies currently on the active roster. Tokarski signed a two-year deal with Buffalo during the offseason.

Goaltender Linus Ullmark, who sustained a lower-body injury during the team's game on February 25, is expected to join the team during the road trip.

paddynyc · March 22, 2021

The feed from the morning skate was not working today. We're told that Howden did not skate and is out tonight. Gauthier will play. Igor skated but Kinkaid will play tonight and Georgiev will back up. Kravtsov could practice tomorrow, if his cardiac screening turns out OK.

Sharpshooter · March 22, 2021

Very good!

Rangers · March 22, 2021

We got this, 5:1 Rangers!

Sod16 · March 22, 2021

Tokarski? Ah, now wouldn't it be nostalgic to see him!

Ozzy · March 22, 2021

Are we Quinn-less tonight?

Keirik · March 22, 2021

Are we Quinn-less tonight?

yeah, tonight and our next game

Sharpshooter · March 22, 2021

yeah, tonight and our next game

And hopefully for an eternity after that.

Karan · March 22, 2021

I love being a Rangers fan. Never short of entertainment. Team is about to play the worst team in the NHL (by a wide margin) who are apparently starting a 4th string goalie. And yet from the nerves in this thread you'd think they were playing a back-to-back Cup champion on a 10 game winning streak.

Truth. I was less nervous playing the Capitals these last two games. lol

Keirik · March 22, 2021

If we ended up 4-1 and then 1-4 when he comes back............

But in realitiy Quinn still calls the shots, just game management he has less control right now and cant tell in the players ears as easily so we shall see.
