@PLeonardNYDN:

I'm hearing likely no Tatar tonight for #RedWings either

They just got a bit weaker.

@AnsarKhanMLive:

Howard is good to go tonight at Rangers. Gustavsson practicing but looks like he's not ready to back-up yet.

​

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Corey Emmerton is being re-called tonight for the Wings.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Red Wings don't seem like the Red Wings that we're used to seeing. I will pick the Rangers to win 4-3.

No way this rangers team scores 4

2-1?

 

[David_son]

2-1?

The way this game is going 1-0 in shootout

The way this game is going 1-0 in shootout

LOL true, this game is putting me to sleep, gonna need some 5 hour energy to hold me over till the 1st goal is scored.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Gotta ask, Rangers only use these jerseys when they're @ home against an Original 6 opponent, correct?

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Lundqvist has really been on fire as of late. I don't think anyone could criticize him for the way he's been playing as of late.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

The Hobbit! Wow...

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Props to Lundqvist tonight, he really lived up to "The King" label in a big way.

 

[David_son]

I was slightly wrong 1-0 regulation

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I want all Hank haters to sit the fuck down!! Dominated this game!! HUGE win!

 

[Pastafazul]

so proud of this team and the way they are conducting themselves on the ice... BRAVO

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

This is Hank's team! He was on his fucking game!!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I was slightly wrong 1-0 regulation

Close enough.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

A win is a win! Don't care how we got it!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

One thing is for sure, Hank is in King mode right now. Rangers are a very dangerous team right now. Very grateful my Pens have a nice cushion on the division right now because I could see the Rangers catching up in terms of points over the next couple weeks.
