Nate MacKinnon back to right wing on a line with Stastny and Landeskog, Mitchell centering O'Reilly and McGinn

Good luck tonight! Hopefully the Rangers play way better than what the Bolts, nah sparks, nah the static electricity is playing for us! And I mean waaaaay better!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Almost time for puck drop!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

HERE WE GO!!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Struggling to clear it out of our end

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Hey! Glad to see you in the GDT, feel free to root for your team.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I love the Rangers defenders joining the rush early on.

 

[wingsauce7]

yeah, there's about 25 total posts on the 'Lanche page. pathetic. Football city..

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers getting good chances, Klein in deep by saved by Varly.

Yeah that sucks and trust me, it didn't get active in here until I joined the site. i make GDT's for each game here.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

You want Cally back? I was thinking Cally & Lindy for Hank. Just joking (somewhat)

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers firing on all cylinders, just shooting the puck and putting pressure on Varly. This is how we need to play all game!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Hahaha! Good one.

 

[wingsauce7]

Pierre LaCroix broke this team down in '02 after the lockout and killed the team and "new" fanbase. Never really recovered. Denver was actually upset when the Grizzlies had to leave because the Nordiques came in and displaced them

 

[I_Shall_Return]

I was thinking Bishop would make a good back up to Hank! I'll throw in Bugsy & we got a deal?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers still throwing it at the net, I love it
