Rangers (7-9-3) vs Buffalo (6-10-3), 7 pm start, TV-MSG 2
They are starting to get some guys back, slowly. Chytil is going to play tonight. Also, Kakko was removed from the Covid protocol but will not play. On the other hand, Bitetto, who’s been playing some pretty steady hockey for them is out because of injury.
I am going to watch this kid Eichel tonight closely. After all, there is more and more noise about him being a Ranger at some point. Thus far, I am not a big fan of his.
Projected lineup:
Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Kreider-Strome-Blackwell
Rooney-Chytil-Gauthier
Lemieux-Howden-Di Giuseppe
Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Smith
Johnson-Hajek
Panarin- leave of absence
Kakko, Brodzinski- prucha’d
Trouba, Bitetto-injured
Shesterkin in net
LGR!!!!!

Did you see Igor fall trying to get the puck again for another empty net attempt lol
If Kakko plays Thursday, who comes out?
Jpp and that was very selfish. Could have been a goal against then ot
Pepe comes out
Howden should come out …believe me the only one who may notice is Quinn
If they let Tony d play in ahl and he gets hurt enough that could prevent a buyout this summer
Howden comes out (ducks)
I like Buchie
Our buchie. Not the other buci throwing out fan like trade proposals
Howdy Doody trying his best…
Think we should send him back to Siberia for that beezle?
Howden does win an occasional faceoff?
I’d be fine with Howden or Lemiuex coming out. Shouldn’t be Gauthier.
Have no idea what game you guys we’re watching, but the Sabres we’re beating the Rangers to the puck for the latter part of the 2nd and most of the 3rd. They controll ed center ice. The Sabres are not a good team. Did the Rangers play to their level and take most of the night off. The longest period of time they just kept on turning over the Puck in their own and were unable to get it out. Reminds me of the Rangers a year ago. We stole one.
.
This rebuild is going to take a few more years me thinks. I hope I make it!

Totally agree.
The rangers let the sabres do that bc overall the Sabres have no clue what they want to do with the puck, I watched that entire second half of the game without a doubt we were winning and without ever feeling like the Sabres were pressuring us.
Just cuz they had the puck doesn’t mean anything.
Philip Danault anyone? On the last year of his deal.
I dunno, I watched parts of the Sabres flyer game the other day, and it was just a carbon copy performance by the Sabres. Completed disjointed
This game was hard to watch. No flow for the home team. They did enought to win. Can’t wait for 2 vs the Bruins. That should be fun. Reminds me of when I first started watching in the late 60’s. Ranger Bruin games were war’s. Nice to see “Old time Hockey” Where Eddie Shore?
4 shots, 5 shots?

Covid related glaucoma?
I have it (not because of covid) and I can tell you that losing your balance on a quick turn (a la the phantom twirl) is definitely a thing.
So they probably didn’t play much better tonight than they did on Sunday vs. the Bruins. The Sabres are just not very good. Sounds like Panarin may be edging back toward playing.

That Sucks, get better.
In the battle of meh vs bad…. meh prevailed… That’s how this game felt to me. So, in summary…. meh.
So the DJ was 8-3 at the dot tonight. A positive sign? Rooney was 0-7. Could Chytil have been any worse or are they afraid of him reinjuring his hand?
The Devil’s will play harder. ( I know I said it) They will have to be better on Thursday. Sounds like KK will be back.
Thought 72 had jump with 17 and 12; Sabres are hot garbage and soft as a mashed potato sandwich.
Stomeo was pissing me off , too cute with the puck, led to first goal, that and Smitty falling down…
Fix the damned ice!
Is the icing rule different for goalies shooting for eng and missing?
It’s not, Beezle. For some reason I was thinking about that after the game too.
