Hope they come out flying with their new pickup vatrano in the lineup. Need this game as Saturday and Sunday are at Tampa and Florida back to back.
I'm soo pissed off...my niece and my sister are going to tonight's game and sitting in a suite...my niece works for one of the biggest CPA firms in the world and it's their suite. Don't think either one can name a current ranger...and me...I get to work a 14 hour shift doing tax returns
Laf with a nice assist. Could you imagine how many points he would have if he actually plays on the pp with the first unit?
Sat in the Blues for the first time. An experience. I haven't seen that many shitfaced idiots since college. One dude was commenting on every play. My favorite was when Lafreniere got hit and he screams out. "Leave him alone, he's just a child. He hasn't even grown yet." Of course the obvious ones where one of our defenseman misses the net by 5 feet from the point and he goes, "Who the fuck was that to!?"
Vatrano actually looked good. Especially when Gallant grew a brain and took Hunt of the Panarin line and had Vatrano there. McKegg is worse live. He's awful. One thing I notice about Fox and it's nitpicking but he's not a great skater. It almost seems like he tires quicker than other players. He often has a hard time getting back. It looks like he needs to work on his conditioning and skating a little. I know he plays a lot of minutes so maybe his conditioning isn't quite there yet.
Vatrano will help with his shot and energy. He has a pest type of quality about him too which could draw some penalties. I think we're going to add a dman but I'd still like to see them snag Rakell.
