QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“He looked good for the practice, it was a hard practice, so hopefully tomorrow we’ll see. He’s still day-to-day, but hopefully tomorrow it’s a good thing and he gets a chance to play.”

— Gerrard Gallant on Chytil's potential return to the lineup

Kitty cats are filling the net lately;  Marchment with 6 points tonight...Huberdeau on pace for 600 points this season now!  LOL

 

...would love to see someone punch Gudas in the mouth, and also steal 2 points from these pricks tomorrow night!

I’d like a repeat of this:

I stole the water!!  

[Albatrosss]

17-2 panthers

 

i just dont see Rangers beating the Florida the way they’ve been playing 

[Albatrosss]

Brian Leetch for trivia

[-ERIK-]

Both games against them have been pretty close

 This one scares me, Panthers have been on fire but they're much more dominant at home.

[Karan]

Only chance here is that FLA blew their load tonight and comes out tired tomorrow, otherwise it'll be a slaughter.

[Jdog99]

Chytil is done as a center here, I hope. Put him back on the RW next to Zib or Strome.

[Parsley]

If there was ever a game where the Rangers NEED to compete for 60 minutes, this is it. Panthers played last night so my wishful thinking is that it will benefit the Rangers at some point tonight. 

[Pete]

The outcome is not as important as the effort and the way they show up, which hasn't really been good enough consistently over the last few weeks. 

[Kick save and a beauty]

At least Gallant is not surrendering and putting Georgie in tonight,  Maybe he thinks we have a chance,

 

 

[Bugg]

Salt in the wound; Sam Reinhart could been here, had Gorton and Quinn not ridiculously  mismanaged the ADA situation. Gorton thought he was managing a scout troop or altar boys rather than a billion dollar sports franchise.

[Pete]

Glad to see we've moved on from being bitter about players no longer here...Now we're bitter about players who could have, maybe, according to random speculation, been here. Possibly.

I feel like they missed out on Sam Bennett too.  All it took was a mid range prospect and a second rounder to get him from Calgary.

Bennett gives me hope for Laf and Kakko. Didn't really put it all together until what, 24?

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Finally a GDT up early, good job jefe @Phil

[Cash or Czech]

If we play like we've been playing the last three games, we're gonna get smoked. Better get a mountain of smelling salts, boys.

4.04 goals per game is insane

its the story of a lot of florida's team too - ekblad as well, even barkov to an extent took 3-4 seasons to really get going.

I'd play a lot better with a base tan too!!!  ...especially golf!! 

[4EverRangerFrank]

As mentioned above, we need a 60-minute effort. There have been far too few of those this season.

 

NYR have surprised us this season by showing they know how to salvage what appear to be certain losses. Some of the exciting games we won this year should not have been perspiration events for us fans. For a while it appeared to me that we solved the 'first 20 minutes' ailment from the past, but then we developed a second period period and our cramps slowed us down, and sometimes, we had the third period runs where we had to get someplace soon and we scrambled for wins. I know I've posted in the past not to criticize wins but man, these things bother me. Play 60 minutes and for a skilled team like we have, that effort should result in wins more than losses.

Who has availability to go to the game tonight?  

Seems like I will have an extra.
