Let’s play better than the Wolfpack player last night
Well, hello again old friend.
Coming off the Leicester game expectations are at an all time low so let’s do this
Come on boys, give us UK fans something to cheer about, it’s not often we have a game starting at 6pm our time!
Really need Mika and Kakko back.
Also ready to see some trades, which I recognize will probably not happen until the last second unless they don’t anticipate Chytil back at all until the postseasons
Is Edstrom still hurt? Ready to see him over Bonino, goodrow etc.
Woof our lineup looks ROUGH 😅
fuck tom wilson
Is Zibby still sick and out today?
Went to the last game at Capital One
Lets hope its a different outcome this time. I don’t have anymore patience for drunk stupidly cocky caps fans
Why are Krieds and Cuylle on the 3rd line all of a sudden? Or is that just the bot
Kakko not playing and Mika a game time decision. Praying Quick can come up big
I feel like the worst part about injury plagued lineups is that they seem to stay that way for quite a while. Star player goes down, the other star players have to compensate or overcompensate until they get hurt too. Let’s hope the injury bug will subside in time for a few warm up games prior to the playoffs.
Let’s go Rangers! 🍺🍺
According to the bot there’s a few Cap players injured too so hopefully that evens out and we can come out on top. Would be great if Mika can play but I would rather he waits until he feels 100% than force an injury
cuck the faps
Is Mika playing today?
just remember everyone:
no caps
No Mika, kakko, chytil, pitlick…
I may skip this one
Man the schedule these next few weeks is death
I don’t even necessarily care if we win…but dear God please figure out how to defend again
In NY, whtats the game on?
The Rangers had 6.55 expected goals vs the Blues without their opening night 1C and 2C but because it came after 2 losses, this sub pretended they played poorly instead of acknowledging that they played well ESPECIALLY given the circumstances and simply got goalied
Haven’t heard anything, praying I can see my boy Mika in person today. My first game and gotta see my favorite skater
no pre and post game on msg?
If the Rangers drop this one it’s a serious problem.
I like it when the Rangers win. I do not like it when the Rangers lose.
Is Mika playing?
Ovechkin is apparently out today
