GDT GDT: NY Rangers at Buffalo, 7:00 PM ET 12/1/2016

[JJFIVEOH]

Nilsson looks shaky again tonight.

It was just a matter of time before he came back down to Earth.

[Doohicksie]

The Rangers have played a perfectly clean game so far to this point, eh? 

 

:death:

[North Buffalo]

Is Risto becoming Kalinin 2.0 cant hit the net from the point?

[qwksndmonster]

Our point men have played really well this period, despite being hung out to dry by forwards telegraphing their passes. This was mostly in the first 5 minutes of the period.

[Tondas]

McCabe/Risto is becoming a good 1st pair.

[bunomatic]

Most of these guys couldn't hit the barn side of a broad :blink:

[Randall Flagg]

Moulson really likes to roof his shots. Probably could have found space under Lundqvist's arm there but he put it right into his upper chest

 

Edit: didn't see that quite right the first time.

Schoney one tough player. Nice to see a real hockey player

2 squeaky clean New York Rangers periods. Alright.

[Iron Crotch]

Not a bad period.  IMHO, you need your goalie to bail you out with a big save every once in a while and unfortunately we didn't get that.

[qwksndmonster]

Rags are so lucky we haven't been awarded a PP

[JJFIVEOH]

Do the fans know there is a game happening?

[woods-racer]

This is fun hockey.

 

Bad refs and a few mental lapses and all.

[bunomatic]

I just came in half way through the 2nd. Have there been no Buff powerplays yet ?

[That Aud Smell]

It has been an enjoyable game to watch.

Penalties committed by the Rangers? Plenty. Buffalo power plays? None.

No BUF powerplays. Rags have 2 PP goals. The first pp goal was from a penalty that got called on Foligno because a Ranger ran into his own net trying to go behind the goal.

[North Buffalo]

Fun game to watch though nice to Sabres skating, McCabe Risto good pair, Fedune Falk good pair and I am not minding Gorges Franson, though Kulikov Bogo should be 2nd pair and Fedune seems to play well with Falk.

No Rags getting away with some glaring non calls. Rags have 2 powerplays goals on 2 powerplays.

Angry Larry

 

Or

 

Grumpy Larry

 

According to Brian Duff it's what Larsson is called in the locker room.

 

Blows the theory that all Swedes fit the MODO mold.

 

MODO is truely a special gift.

[Tondas]

So far, a good game from the boys.  If not for the 2 BS PP goals, we're up with one of the best teams in the league.

[Huckleberry]

Rags are so lucky we haven't been awarded a PP

 

We'll get some make up calls in the 3rd

This is awesome.

[North Buffalo]

Larson plays grumpy till he scores a goal.. then has a thousand watt smile!

[Tondas]

I think Franson is a very smart player with great instincts.  He just doesn't have the athletic talent to be great.

[Randall Flagg]

I think Franson is a very smart player with great instincts.  He just doesn't have the athletic talent to be great.

I agree with this. Every laps he has is related to his positioning, and is usually from a fluky bounce or something unexpected. It'd be great if we were healthy/good enough to have him on the third pair with a guy who can move and is better than he is.
