Ryan Strome is in COVID-19 protocol and isn’t available to play. I wouldn’t speculate what this means since the NHL’s COVID protocol is complex and includes many different stipulations. It isn’t even clear if he traveled with them to Canada or stayed back in NY. They recalled McKegg, who is going to be prucha’d, most likely.
Rangers (0-1-1) vs Canadiens (0-2-0), 7 PM start, TV-MSG
Noticed Montreal’s record? If they lose today, especially in regulation and go 0-3-0, I expect Bergevin, Ducharme and the entire coaching staff to be fired tomorrow. Also, there will be a collective suicide watch for the entire province of Quebec. š
Projected lineup:
Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kreider
Panarin-Chytil-Kakko
Blais-Goodrow-Gauthier
Hunt-Rooney-Reaves
Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Nemeth-Lundkvist
Strome-COVID-19 protocol
Tinordi, McKegg, Hajek-prucha’d

Rangers 7

GwG – Reavo
And I was first bd second
if ever there was a game for Laf to break out! Letās go!!
Laff has been more physical but offensively heās been lacking .
Blais back in. Gallant wants to keep the 4th line together so McKegg will center the 3rd line.
Kegger
How long until fans finally figure out there’s something fundamentally wrong with this organisation and the way they handle their players?
Iām telling youse. Laffy is gonna a from the circles and in goal scorer.
The sooner he and his line mates realize that. The sooner heāll score more goals.
I think heās a good player maker.
But I donāt skating the middle of the ice and into the zone stickhandling is his strong suit as of now.
I think heās really dangerous right now when he gets the puck in motion close to the net. where he only has to make one or two moves and then decide where heās shooting.
Heās been really money in those situations thus far in his career. Mika and kreids should be driving that line and they should be looking for laffy in his current wheelhouse.
Let him begin his ascent there.
It is Timeeeeeee!!! LETS GO boys!!!! New York Rangers are in da Houwseee!!!
Lets gogogogogogogogo!!!!
Itās very corporate like. Pay you well, take care of you well, talk like your an indisposable person, until your not or somebody or something better or new comes along and then you recognize itās all just lip service and everyone just cares about their seat on the gravy train?
Something like that cccp?
JPP, that would be great to see. He is gripping the stick a little right to start the year for sure as he had a wide open look against caps with no one on him and he just lost the puck, which has happened a few other times. just needs to relax and sure heāll be fine
Thatās why I loved torts. Money, EVERYTHING else was secondary to torts.
The most important thing to torts was having the team that could and would play a way the real fans could be proud of.
At least thatās what I thought torts was about.
FIRE SATHER!
6:52: JPP quotes Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips, the Eagles
Sneak preview for the Strome-less NYR
Iām just here to talk hockey…
E3 = 3 can runs tonight
Exactly, jpp.
How did Sam find a mask to fit that beak?
Salmon Joe talking in circles
would rather watch the habsā opening ceremony in french!
Weak call.
Boneheads patiently waiting to post until MTL scores.
Leave the gun, take the Toffoli.
Reaves will get plenty of those against him.
Canadien refs pulling for Habs
Gallant already juggling Kakko away from bread?
No Kakko was on the PK.
I donāt think Blais fancies himself a 4th liner. Or even a 3rd liner for that matter.
I get the feeling he thinks heās top 6 and heās constantly trying to show off his puck and net skills when he gets the puck. He wants to make something happen towards the net whenever heās in the offensive zone.
Is reaves the new lemieux or Avery lrefs ooking for any excuse to call a penalty on them
reaves just needs to keep two hands on the stick. he isnāt fast so refs will call that stuff on him a lot.
In preseason NHL played up how they were going to be enforcing cross checking this season. I see how well by the way Chytil went down on the ice in front of Habs net.
MOre home cooking
I was thinking to myself man keggerās nose got smaller and then he looked up
š
Donāt you mean
MONe homecoming
FU autocorrect
My arch nemesis
I don’t want to post a lot in case the Rangers lose.
I can’t stand when the rangers play the canadiens in montreal, you can’t convince me the good ol’e hometown refs are bias, my a@@.
oof awful pass by bread man
Miller time.
Say Hey Sammy Blais – What a hit
Good period?
Good period?
Is someone teaching them the snow angel? All of a sudden they are all doing them
7 periods – 2 even strength goals against. Winning formula
Most scoring chances against are on PP or on the rush
Now I’m posting like an idiot.
I’m really glad Kratsov isn’t out there because we really need McKegg.
Panarin needs to get his head out of his a@@, not doing much of anything.
This is one exciting team so far but hey it’s only 7 periods of ineptitude it has to get better right?
Lindgren looks like a Viking with that facial hair. All he needs is the horned helmet.
I rode to the race track in a $30,000 car, and I came back in a $200,000 bus.
Well I think the best thing about the Rangers in the early going is still their uniforms!
All this advertising for betting….a lot of people are going to lose their houses not to mention juniors college savings.
Does Zibanejad think he’s playing hockey or badminton?
Reavo needs to punch Anderson or anybody in the mouth.
I wonder is Gritty really Bobby Granger?
All we need is a good 5 minutes?
What apple?
No more little Grangers…
I feel like Iād get along with Laffyās dad. He should sit next to me at a game.
Good road game. Still need some O.
Bread seems stale?
yea bread needs a little more yeast!
The reason they don’t score is they take too long to shoot. Stop trying to settle every puck or re-adjust your tee shot. Gives the goalie time to get set or defender to block.
Woot
Beer Me!
NYR 1-0
(Crickets)
A lot of of players around the league are getting injured early this season.
Igor
If Kravtsov wasnāt a child, heād be back in the lineup already.
well at least we are getting a lot of power play practice time…oh wait this is a real game…
I’d like to see Goodrow center the Breadline in the third
CCCP you and E3 were supposed to bring the fixin’s for the ledge tonight. Don’t worry, Olga brought some beers š
Good news – were winning!
8 periods, 2 extra strength goals against
Is it Christmas? Rangers are in a giving mood when they have the puck. That was an awful period. Good thing the Habs are not very good and Igor is playing well.
Crazy period. Donāt expect many pp in 3rd
Maybe GG breaking the Hex at the house of horrors
Sorry, all my beers are spoken for.
Because I said so…
LAF takes a penalty 200 ft. from his net.
Donāt chase behind the net up 1 in the third
Here come the comments.
Did I mention that I hate Montreal?
Sigh… why were Trouba and Miller in the same place at the same time?
WTF was Miler doing behind the net. I was about to say he was playing well tonight. The Rangers can’t be as bad as they are playing.
Woot woot
Laffy! Beer me!
Where did he score that goal from?
Yeah high fives mom and sis
Boom! Great answer
Plenty of time…
Trouba Miller sloppy this period.
KāAndre The Idiot.
Dudeā¦. Take the shotā¦ Stop being cute.
Thatās a sneaky big save on evans.
That would have been major deflator if it went in
Good for Laffy, deserved it hustling all night.
Miller needs to sit on the bench the rest of the game.
Still trying to figure out what Chytil does out there…. other than skate around in empty space a lot like this last shift
Rangers need a good 3 minutes.
Ćtes-vous prĆŖt pour la cheminĆ©e chinoise?
Lindgren is a beast
Good third
Dubi with the ENG!!
Woot woot woot
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Asking for a friend.. has Chytil ever been on the ice on a 6-5 against?
Really good road game.
3) Mika
2) Laf
1) Shesty
Igor steals one. They had no business winning this one.
3 games, 3 ES goals allowed. Winning formula!
100 posts
win
kreider 3 for 3.
How about Libor in for Miller for a game?
Allen had some good stops in the second, Igor in the third
Stromeoās asking price went up
Victory yeah!
Kreider 82-0 is a Cy Young lock.
Like the effort though still many issues.
Good for Laffy in front of the family. Norma looked like whiplash on that second hit
How bad is Krakko hurt?
Did Bread get COVID over the Summer and we missed it? He looks like Mika did at the beginning of last season.
I don’t like the lack of post game on my feed. Some times you just need an extra dose of ValleyKat
ORF, 100% agree. Somethingās not right w/ the Breadman.
Lundqvist woulda lost this game.
Change in team style of play. That is what has slowed Panarin down. Team is trying to play a more disciplined game. Panarin likes to free lance. He will adapt.
Tremendous play by Zibanejad on the boards at the end.
This is the way Bread looked (at least to me) when he came back from his leave of absence last season. Itās troubling to see. Heās usually super tenacious on the puck, and all I see from him now is entering the o-zone and doing the āmessierā curlā¦..then losing the puck. Not good.
Nils with another ho hummer.
Glad they got the winā¦. But, hereās hoping they just need to gel/learn Turkās system bc as of now, they look Mediocre at best.
I did not realize Chytil played as much as he did. Over 20 minutes. I hardly noticed him.
hockey night in canada crew said in intermission rangers are trying to convince kravtsov to report to hartford and earn his way up, which ironically may have already have happened if he was even somewhat professional!
Only chance to keep strome is Fox taking a real discount (which Bruins just made a little harder) and strome taking shorter termā¦so wouldnāt bank on it
Some of youse will never be happy. Went to a place thatās historically been tough for them to win and played a pretty solid (not perfect) 60 minute road game. Yes, Shesty had to make some saves.
BDL, what I see is his slightly slower decision making.
Good for Laffy….he must have been reading some of our missives.
I see Charaās looking good as are the rest of the Fishsticksā¦.. š
Bread was playing with two guys are not full time top 6 players. He is being asked to play a team game. This is what a system looks like but with speed and skill so the scoring opps will be there.
Laffy looks just like his old man.
