It was more like, who's going to be here by the end of it, versus who we're going to get. I think it's a great feeling for a team. We've done a great job of working hard all year to put ourselves in that position, and we got rewarded with some great players. ... There's not much more you can ask for than a GM adding at the deadline and showing some faith in your team.” — Ryan Strome on the Rangers trade deadline VID to HYPE : 1 2
Sharpshooter Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Biggest game of the season up until this point? Yeah, I think so!
Phil Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 1. Fuck that dumb NFT pigeon. 2. Chicken wings for lunch. 3. Trivia is Brian Boyle.
Ozzy Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Will I have access while the site is down?.... Oh Wait... Trivia answer will definitely be Jagr!
Kevin Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Down to only 3 turds in the lineup! I suspect Schneider will be back in. I think LIndgren could use a day off but this game might be too important to sit him. Good time to see what Braun looks like on the left side though. Kevin Stevens for trivia.
Cr00zng Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 It seems that these two will be paired up in the first round of the playoff, this and other games against the Pittsburgh may just decide the home field advantage. Shesty's numbers aren't good for the month of March in eight games, SV% .898 and GA/G 2.65, let's hope he'll do great tonight...
BrooksBurner Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Lineup looks good. Copp theoretically might be a good fit with the glide brothers on that 2nd line. Can't say I've been impressed with Vatrano outside of the first game where I thought he was buzzing around. The other games I thought he looked weak on his skates. Let's see if Kreider/Zib can get him involved...start to utilize that shot he's got. That 3rd line might be the best we've tried all year. Nice to see Lafreniere and Chytil back together, this time paired with a good vet. Love the 4th line.

Nice to see Lafreniere and Chytil back together, this time paired with a good vet. Love the 4th line. Agreed re: Vatrano. He was trying to play slow and contemplative like Panarin and Strome only to repeatedly get hounded and picked. Playing with a bit more pace on the Kreider-Zib line might be more beneficial to him, though I truly think he just needs to play against 3rd line comp where he can be the primary chucker. 1
CBrowningPI Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I have to agree that the line combos look great. Would rather have Reaves smashing instead of Hunt skating around. 2 1
Sod16 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Red Sullivan for trivia (former Rangers captain; first Penguins coach)
Long live the King Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Trivia Q will be: last ranger to record a multi-point game in first game after being acquired at the TDL. Brassard had a 4 point game in 2013. Anyone after that? Edited March 25, 2022 by Long live the King
Tonybologna Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 One thing I really like about these lines is that there are no 4th liners on the top 3 lines 1 1
jsm7302 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 BRODZINSKI!!!!!! Best lineup iced all year minus Hunt (agreed with Reaves taking that spot)!

RichieNextel305 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Yeah, but he was finally getting comfortable on the other side and producing points on the other side. Just very odd timing. Well, regardless, to call tonight a huge game is an understatement. It’s gigantic. This team has played well in big games all year, so I expect them to show up and bounce back from that no show in NJ. But Pittsburgh is going to show up too. Gotta be ready to play a full 60 and beat this teams shit in. Let’s fucking go!
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Big game so I predict a Goodrow goal tonight. Rangers win 3-2 LGR!
RichieNextel305 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Malkin OUT with non-Covid illness (probably something to do with how ugly he is). This just went from a must-win to a you-BETTER-not-fucking-lose. 3
Karan Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 That's gotta feel good for the kid after what unfolded in the last game.
Pete Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Shockingly good work by that line. Nice to see Loaf not whining about not playing top line. 1
