QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“It’s moving in the right direction but I can’t say if [Lindgren] can play the next game or not. Maybe I’ll know a little more [Wednesday].”

 

— Gerard Gallant on when we'll see LindG-1000 again

GIF to LOL:

[Cash or Czech]

I wonder how we play with 6 defensemen

[jsm7302]

That layoff felt like an eternity. Geez. Let's get back at it!!!!! Win streak starts tonight!!

[Bugg]

As I type this, a conversation that is not taking place between Sam Rosen and MSL is not happening, but will be repeatedly referenced by Sam Rosen all night.

Sam- "I spoke to him this morning and he said, these are expected growing pains but he sees potential in the team they are building. He is a known winner Joe and we expect he will bring that to this storied franchise."

 

Michelleti- "Always a positive guy and we wish him the best here."

This is the homestretch - 19 games in 35 days, 4 back-to-backs, no more than 2-days off between games. From now until the end of the playoffs, any extended breaks are earned.

Time to play a complete 60 minute end to end game. No excuses. Lets go boys!

[LindG1000]

I think this is a good place for the team to gel. Montreal may be in some level of disarray, but as Kaner said - they're dangerous right now. 

 

Looking for sound defense and slick offense tonight.

[Ozzy]

Fellas,

 

Simply put....It's time to start the engine.

The fuck they are. They're shit. Rangers should stomp this team.

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

A loss here and even me, the total optimist, would be worried

 

But we really should be crushing this team. They are a bad team that is in the dumps. We've had time to reset. Lets get another W streak going on the road here

[siddious]

Gonna have a terrible two periods because they’ve been off for a while and then dominate in the third for a come back OT win.

 

I’ve seen this game before 

[Ozzy]

Different time....different team....This time we come out flying.

 

We go up 3-0 in the first 15 minutes and coast to a 6-2 win!

[Flynn]

[phillyb]

FUCKING HOCKEY, LETS GO

I’m with you on that.

 

Lose tonight… and there’s no way they go out for pizza after the game.

they can hit up Schwartz Deli if they win though

[BrooksBurner]

Rangers should have some fresh legs and really come out flying tonight before they settle in defensively.

 

6-3 Habs

[RJWantsTheCup]

Have to beat the bottom feeder teams at this time of the season.
