I'm talking about politics, you dingbat. You want to ruin a game day blog.

We a losing control. It's Rangers game day. No politics yet.

Is he really into the Q poop?

Stop quoting me or it won't go away.

Fair enough.

Everyone ignore my inflammatory post. I just want to talk about opening night, seriously.
- JRR1285

Don't think it was inflammatory, I agree with you but you know where it always ends up.

Is Lafreniere been on the first PP unit during camp? No one has mentioned anything

Talk about pressure for a kid.

I think all the 'who will be captain' talk has been more of a distraction than even not having a captain for the past several seasons.

bring it, Crosby and McDavid were named captains at 19 years old

I deleted it anyway. No need to ruin a historic day in Rangers history. THEY HAVE A NUMBER 1 DRAFT PICK THAT THEY DRAFTED PLAYING TONIGHT.

They were/are generational. Laf is not as sure of a thing though I will concede I believe he has the makings for a Captain.

Nope he is on the 2nd unit

Agreed here. I think it may be to early. Let him dominate and then throw the C at him.

Over under, how many games till LAF is in the top 6?

I give it 6

Can somebody tell me who Jan is referring to on the first line called Happy? Is it Buchnevich? Thanks in advance.

Top 6 what? Points? Goals? Hits?

Goals: 4 and then slides out of top 10.
Points: 13.333 cause I have no idea
Hits: I think he will be top 5 in hits on the Rangers. OV style.

Even though the Isles are tough to beat, I think it's a good team to start the season against. These rookies will be really tested from the get-go. Will be interesting to see how they do against such a defensively sound team

Yes, Buch. The pictures of him always look like he's pissed off

Really good offense against really good defense. Hopefully we score early and make their defense open up a bit.

And that's Joe's Mercedes-Benz keys to the game!

I'll say that third line clicks because of Gaut's speed, Laf's playmaking and Chytil's shoot first instinct. As a result, they stay together until someone gets banged up.

Gaut hasn't been mentioned much since there are so many others to be excited about. Hopefully, he becomes a solid two way player who can play the PK. His speed is gonna make the Laf/Chy/Gaut line a force

Having to play with 4th line scrubs last year didn't help Gauthier at all. Having legit linemates will help him break out

Yes, Buch. The pictures of him always look like he's pissed off

Thank you, hoping for a big year from my Rangers, Shesterkin, Kreider, Buchnevich and DeAngelo. I hope this is the Year Happy can stay happy, so talented leaves you always wanting more. Good Luck Rangers.
