QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

"We always talk about how we make a lot of seam plays – the Panarin plays and the Zibanejad plays. Sometimes those things don’t work out perfectly. Now they're shooting pucks more, and then those plays are working better because we're not doing them every time. We like what we're doing and the way it's going right now. As coaches, you try and show video and preach that stuff. We think it's getting through to them, and when they get results, they feel good about it"

— Gerard Gallant on the Rangers varying their offensive approach

GIF to HYPE:

Trouba is growing on me a little more every game....Yeah I hate the $8 million tag and all, but he's been playing the best hockey I've seen him play, and he's playing tough hockey.  Let's keep on rolling tonight!

I may be troubas #1 hater but I cant say this isnt the best ive seen him play in NY over a steady period of time now. Lets hope it stays this way.

[Valriera]

He’s playing up to 6m jokes aside this will be a great test

[ThirtyONE]

We're starting to see some of that offensive upside with Trouba too. It's not just the heavy hitting, it's jumping into the play and making shit happen below the opposing teams goal line. 

It seems like some of these guys are having a real revival and I'll be curious to see how it continues to play out. Is it a Gerrard Gallant effect? Maybe too early to say.

[Keirik]

Are we forgetting his bonehead play in 3 v 3?  Let’s be fair. His  “best he has looked in years” is mostly because he’s been bailed out by whatever goalie was playing. 

[Karan]

Leafs are rolling right now, this game's going to be even tougher than the earlier one where Shesty had to stand on his head. Hoping for more of a sound defensive effort tonight so he doesn't have to make 60 fucking saves again.

We need ya back in the "yard" big guy!!  Need that Mojo for this one!!! 

[CBrowningPI]

Rangers 5-4 OT win. 

[RichieNextel305]

This is gonna be a good test for this team. We walked out of Toronto with 2 points last time largely (or all) because of Shesterkin. He’s gonna need to be big again tonight, but the team needs to show up too.

Full 60. Let’s go! LGR!!!!!!

[josh]

Sat tavares in fantasy. Or is Georgiev starting? 

[JessoRx]

Aside from Trouba being our best big bodied defenseman by far, overlooked is Trouba's mentor effect on Miller, and hopefully soon Schneider. Guy brings a lot of "intangibles" in addition to tossing bodies, solid on the breakout, and joining the rush. How much could we have saved realistically on a more team friendly deal? We can live with his AAV. 

Anyone know Leafs' depth? What's the third line like?
