Should be a good game, no Giroux & no McDonagh really changes the dynamics of this one.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Really important for the Flyers to stay out of the box. Rangers have a pretty good power play and the Flyers aren't too good at killing penalties.

Flyers dmen also need to clear the puck out of their own zone as quickly as possible because the Rangers also have a pretty good forecheck.

Really looking forward to this one, a great rivalry game, and both teams could really take advantage of the other team's weaknesses. Both goalies will have to be on top of their game because I see lots of scoring opportunities in this one.

G out this team can't catch a break....

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Wow just checked the stats and saw the Rangers' power play isn't as good as I thought it was.

Might as well.

Might as well.

the big thing is I don't want Schenn to play center. I want them to keep him at LW so he continues the adjustment. I would actually go with something like:

Schenn.Lecavalier.Voracek
Akeson.Couturier.Read
PEB.Laughton.Simmonds
Rinaldo.VDV.Umberger

maybe? I don't know. it's a lost cause tonight haha

I don't think it's as bad as it appears, Rangers are rather inconsistent and are without Ryan McDonagh themselves. I think it will be a pretty good game with goaltending being the ultimate determiner of who wins.

I believe you could watch the game on a tablet or a phone thru NBC Sports's website. Just gotta open an account & have your cable/satellite information handy.

haha definitely. but playing soccer trumps all these days

I can probably get it turned on at trivia.

yep, it'll be on there. I have Gamecenter too, just won't have my tablet with me. Too much going on. Makes for a useful combination to get my ass in the gym on hockey nights though!

Yeah GameCenter is a nice app. Only thing is all the blackouts.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Wonder if we could expect a big game from Michael Del Zotto, I believe this is his first game @ MSG since he left the Rangers.

i don't have trouble with blackouts very often. just with nationally televised games n such. then again, i really only use it to watch the flyers. the other games i watch are either on NHL network or NBC sports

 

[lasgop8]

Please guys skate after everything and cut down time and space. Cut down passing lanes and shooting lanes and hustle to the open area on offense and for god's sake please beat the Rags!!!

True, also local games. It's not bad if you're at home, but it's bad for FOMOH.

For games on NBC and NBCSN you can stream them on the NBCSports.com site I think - you need an account but once you get one you can watch the games that are on NBC and NBCSN
