Remember Tom Renney’s line generator? David Quinn may have already outdone him with his own. But imagine if this works? I’ll be the first one to eat crow. With Balvenie 21 to wash it down.

Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Panarin-Strome-Lafrenière

LETS GO!!!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!
THE NEW YORK RANGERS are in da Houwseee!!!
Lets gogogogogogogogogogogoio!!!
Can’t wait until we see the new combinations. Not that I expect them to work.
Can’t figure out if there are new multitudes of crazy people or if crazy people get all the attention.
I expect more of the same result of game 1.
Maybe with some more pushback from our guys.
Can’t wait to see the Rangers show up.
On the horsey!
quinned – lol.
Let’s-Go!
Adam Fox-Jack Johnson. I already feel sorry for Fox.
Sorokin is in net for the fishstix…that’s another loss for us.
This game is going to be just fine…..Laffy is with Panarin!!!
After a win tonight we go back to Shershekin and let Geogie rest 1-0👌
First Ranger is Stromeo!!!
Rangers win 5 -2
Kakko on the 3rd line. Hmmm… how long till he pulls the “Kravtsov” and asks to go back to Finland?
Watch Sorokin shut us out
And the next Brodeur is born
like the trouba lindgren pairing at least. Kakko will be in hartford before finland
Kakko will be in Columbus before Hartford
That’s what people said about Kravtsov, Pete.
This goes out to the Ada-Jack Johnson pairing
krav had a KHL out clause built into his contract tho, don’t think kakko has that, but could be wrong. i’d also guess kakko wouldn’t want to go back to finland where he has nothing left to prove.
Goaty got an article outlining his family being Mr Olympia and pro wrestling fitness freaks
Maybe if he’s not scoring the least he could do is use his genetics to do half of what lemieux brings. Just half. That’s all I’m asking. Show us how tough you are kid.
If your not gonna score 30 maybe score 15-20 and give tom wilson and Matt Martin a run for their money
LETS GO!!!!!!
Let’s go boyssss!
Woot
WOOOOHOOOOO#!!
Different game different team boys
Ok ok just saw 3 passes that were too hard!!!
Captain Happy on way to 30 goal season!
That line deployment led to it
4th against 4th
Then panarin against Barzal.
Mikas line matchup advantage. Pressures defender into falling. Defensive breakdown, our guns take advantage
BOOOOCH!
OMG such a weak call. This is definitely a by the book crew
Ahhhhh. Beer me!
Oh wow I’m at least full 3 minutes behind on the msg go feed! Da fuq!?
Not a bad start. Let’s see if the Rangers can sustain this effort.
Smith making an immediate impact—the type that will keep him in the lineup.
Smith and Trouba on PK great job showing moxie
Smith gets a lot of crap for his cost but he changes the dynamic of attitude for this team. He may not win a lot of fights but he is a tough SOB
CCCP just don’t refresh the blog until they score😉
Smith has sandpaper. Make him captain!
Well that pp played out as expected
At least we’ve gotten the goal monkey off or back
Still too many bad decisions and horrendousness passes
Hot from behind. Play on. They might have to rethink this same refs thing.
Where is the hit from behind call when fox got flattened????
Faceoff should be in the zone but it won’t be.
Beezle, a by the book crew would call the game evenly, so…..
Laffy with the sweet pass!!!!
Almost got his first point.
Laffy will score , I can feel it!!
At least they got one back on Clutterf*ck
Hits from behind on Rangers are no longer penalties.
EV only if they aren’t blind
Does Gauthier play any center? Like to see the KGB line.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!
MY MAN! 2-ZIP!
Another beer, bartender. And one for my friend, Artemi.
Smith for Norris!
Once again
Chytil/Kakko line against Johnston bellows line
Zone time, isles just try to clear the zone and on a change panarin gets in behind And boom
Now 4th line against 4th line
Great. Laffy=Zucc
2nd unit more aggressive again tonight
Wow. Howden on the PP
Fireable offense
Cregg7 the problem is Chytil can’t win a face off
Learn. Too. Hit.
Learn. To. Hit. As. Well.
Lol
Hail the Russians
Good period?
I spent the last three years looking of my ex-wife’s killer.
No one would take the job.
For, goddammit FOR!
That Canadian division going to be one to watch, expect it to get real chippy by end of season
Labatts tonight Olga?
Rookie goalie – fire away
Boy George is solid tonite
Everyone moving their feet!
Beezle, starting with some Genesee 12 Horse Ale. Not overly impressed.
Olga just sat neigh!
Why is Laffy on his non-shooting hand side on PP? How will that help our PP?
CIGAR CITY JAI LAI IPA here …enjoyingbthis effort but not the PP
I was just yelling that at tv (thanks 2 you) 3C
Captain Happy! 28 to go!
KAY ANDY got hammered
Beer me! I’m down to 9 Horse Ale now.
33 minutes to go…plenty of time to do what the Avalanche did last night
You see how happy Laffy was to be on the ice for a goal. He looked like a kid there
KAKKO gunna sit for awhile (after the penalty)
Jpp he is a kid lol
MSG crowd quiet again tonight…
Cmon boys pile it on….
Howden and Lemeuix not so much pp players
Shesty looks like Patton Oswalt on Tim and Eric
I don’t get the point of a coach wearing a mask standing next to two dozen heavy breathing maskless dudes?
Almost 2 ref-assisted goals tonight. That’s would’ve put us in the lead in this series.
Met Gotye outside Whole foods in Sarasota ..he was coming out I was goin into the bar next door
That’s a bra on Trotz’s face
CMON BOYS KILLER INSTINCT!!
bury these mutts
Do everything pass, pass, pass
Covering up a big boob?
Lazy ass pass by Strome
Cmon Laffy Get yer 1st
KKAAKKOOOOOOOO
Kakko! Beer me!
KAAAAAAAKKOOOOOOOO!!!!
Beauty!!!
Kappo Kakko! Listen to the crowd! Just listen to the… oh, wait.
Nice play
I believe that’s the first KAKKO beer Me post ive seen
Is Kakko a finnisher?
Nice pass to KK
Noah Dobson getting manhandled tonight. Wow.
Monty!
I’m about to have a White Castle hamburger with an IPA ..I’ll report back what is happening…
Only Sam would confuse Chytil for K’Andre
From down here it doesn’t appear the ushers are allowing anyone to move down to the empty good seats
I’m going to say a couple of unpopular things. I don’t hate Jack Johnson. I kind of like the way he plays. I’m not saying I want him out there 25 minutes a night, just that I don’t hate his game. Also, Bret Howden is an improved hockey player.
Kid n Play AA
Whitcastle and IPA I think we know what’s next
Kakko has to realize this is the NHL not the PGA and get his shot off like that all the time. TDA could help the PP tonight. They haven’t done much with it.
That Michelle looks cute w that panty on her face
There appears to be some jiggling
Fivefinns better make sure E3 isn’t in the can…
I was going to lament where’s Dave Maloney—but then now there’s Michelle…
I was thinking the same thing when Sam called him Chytil. Miller is taller.
That NYR Mom (married to the tatted up NYR fan) has more junk in that skin tight Ranger blue dress than Janice Huff..too much HuffJunk
Rumbling has replaced the jiggling…
I think Costanza hit the water main
1st PP has 4 righties and 2nd has 4 lefties, very out of sorts
I’m guessing the answer to the trivia question is my first favorite Ranger. Steve Vickers.
BUCHBEATNIK with the 2 already..will he get the empty arena hatty?
Just like signing Wade Redden I’m starting to think the WhiteCastles were not a good idea
1,315 out of 1,378 times Vally uses his Analytics I hear Bill Chadwick scream
When I was a little kid I though those 5 holes in the White Castle hamburgers were for the government to test the meat.
There’s meat in White Castle?
The 5 holes are for that little silver ball to land in…
I wish someone would put Johnston into Quarantine
I tell ya—K’Andre looks good. Really comfortable out there
They are back to the old camera angle tonight. Thursday night they were shooting the game hanging from the Garden roof.
Lindgren picking right up from last year. Nothing seems to phase him
Georgiev looking good.
TYM I thought it was just me going blind
Olga if you drink the Horse ale does that mean you have to piss like a racehorse too?
don’t think it’s a coincidence at all that trouba looks like the player we traded for while playing with lindgren.
Howden improved yes, but still rather have chytil on 2nd pp and kakko needs pp time as well
It goes without saying, Beezle. I’m down to 7 horses now.
I hear next game Trotz is going to scratch Dobson, make the first like Ross Johnson at center with Nelson and pageau on his wings and start Schneider
Have to finish by midnight that’s when you’re horse drawn carriage turns back into a Yugo
At least it’s not Genny Cream Ale. I swear, they need to put a roll of toilet paper in every case of that stuff.
Need to get Captain Happy his hatty
1.Buch
2.Georgy
3.Smith
1/2 * Laffy
Lindgren’s face is in midseason form.
All is forgiven for last game?
ANYONE WANT TO QUESTION COACH QUINN NOW??
DQ clearly an idiot 😂
2 minutes since Georgiev’s last shutout.
Just reverse everything said last game…
Where was Craig tonight. I need a forecast after tonight’s game
And the crowd is on its feet!
Not!
Face offs- mika 11/22 Chytil 3/8 Howden 6/13 Strome 5/10
Sam: “a shutout for Artemi Panarin!”
Well, on to NFL Buffalo. Actually, I’m a Giants fan but I can’t seem to find the telecast of their game.
I assume Georgie plays against the Devils.
Dr Chytl and Mr Howden type of turnaround
Quinn still sucks tho.
Boy George owns those fuggers – noice!
Ok like I said before game…..do we sit out Georgie with 1-0 and give sherkin a go next game?
Thanks Clutterphock shooting at your own goalies mask during warm ups..what an asshat on the Azzlanders
Way to go boys.
I’ve waited 10 months for that.
That was fun.
Let’s do it again Tuesday. Toodles
Jackass Johnson wasnt such a jackass tonight…..
Dr.Quinn Medicine Man still uses medieval times science to this line up…another blood letting !!!
I love how much Lafreneire loves the game
Panarin is hotter then Sally in her hooker-boots!!!
I’m here, JPP! I was on delay…. Twins didn’t settle down for bed until 7:45ish… so I didn’t want any spoilers.
Sure would be nice if Buchnevich could make this his breakout season.
Buchnevich has totally turned into a different guy, different player.
Turning into a guy I don’t want to lose to lose
Captain happy. He’s a big guy. You can tell by the thickness of his neck how much he’s filled in
They all looked better, but a few of them stood out…..Georgiev, Miller, Smith, Trouba were very good tonight. Buch was good again. You can see Lafreniere coming on. Lind green sure is a battler……although the dude should be wearing a bubble. His grill is going to look like a road map in a few years.
Quinnie pushed Roth buttons …tip my hat …solid win
I think that was the first time I’ve heard him interviewed. Kreider needs to help him more with his Russian
Right buttons
Georgie is like the rangers stuffed animal
He’s always there… since he’s been here
Got my first Covid vaccine shot yesterday, You can’t slap the smile off my face.
Kaaapo. Score more goals. Be so happy
Like D’Anger, Buch has also been a DQ project. Hopefully this is his breakout season
I would like to try
.
Good for you; my daughter got her 2nd today
4-0 Thursday
5 – 0 Saturday
GOULET!!
Butch’s play away from the puck is night and day. That snipe on the second goal was a new wrinkle.
White Castles 5
Me. 0
Hop on the buffalo bills bandwagon or Vancouver/Calgary?
Olga that wasn’t vaccine it was Hamms
Buffalo. Playoffs
No side effects to speak of. Slightly sore arm, I had to carry my 30 pack up the stairs using my other hand. If they put a chip in my arm with the vaccination they are going to have fun tracking me from the living room to the bathroom and back again. Also an occasional trip for more beer.
I got my second Covid shot today. Arm is killing me now, very slight headache. Nothing else.
Olga must be essential worker- beer tester 😀🍺
Youse guys are giving me vaccine envy.
They use Olga’s blood to sterilize the instruments.
Beezle, I’m a workaholic. Mention work and I start drinking.
Too bad this game doesn’t count. Hopefully they can carry it over into the regular season.
“Panarin is hotter then Sally in her hooker-boots!!!”
Sally was never hot.
I got in alot if trouble saying hooker boots!! The other one was really hot…the reporter one
Howden looks better. Keep up the progression. Still think he needs 10-15 lbs to not get schalacked into the boards every hit but hey, he bounces and rejoined the play to help posession
Johnson had no blunders. Best we could hope for.
Miller gaining confidence by the minute. Good stick handler for his size
So glad they gave Russ Johnston the misconduct. Lindgren didn’t need that fight on his resume. Good for trouba getting in the middle of it.
Buch is reborn
Gauthier looking good again
Kaako learned the one timer finally. Last year he would catch and pass that or take time for wrister. Quick shot fro. Him will be key.
Lemieux, I like his game more than most. Hope everyone can see his drive and getting to the right spots for the puck.
Fwiw cause it was mentioned about righty’s on the PP
Isle 1PP has 4 right handed shots as well.
Diguiseppe deserves to play another game
On a final note: A stick salute? Seriously?
You know — I like DiGiuseppe. Playable sandpaper, solid player, good skater. Plays with pace.
Glue guy
Interesting:
The Valley Cat is getting lots of love from other Rangers blogs (athletic, Blueshirt Banter) and I have to say I’m in agreement.
The guy is good — and his unique analysis is found nowhere else. Even Carp gives Valley Cat a shout out on this morning’s Carp & Coffee.
