so hunt is a better option on the 4th than kakko. got it

I am all for mixing up the lines, rangers haven’t scored a 5v5 goal in Tampa yet this series. But don’t scratch Kakko to do it

I'm gonna hurl.

Official: Kaapo Kakko will be scratched for Game 6 #NYR 

Kakko hunt in. Strome out
- nyrangers2

Wow they are playing a broken down strome and scratching kakko

Rangers better win tonight or Gallant is gonna hear shyt for months for his lineup decision

Kakko is scratched? WTF?

Thanks, I guess.

Mind boggling tbh. Havingdifficulty scoring 5 on 5 so let's break up one of our most consistent lines this postseason and scratch kakko instead of hunt or Rooney?

Rangers gonna get blown out tonight and Rooney and Hunt will be on for about 4 of those goals lol

I hate to say it but this has vasi shutout written all over it.

Scratching Kakko has me squarely in the (frank) Gallant camp. It's an inexplicable decision.

And strome will probably leave the game early

Yea If they lose this game I wonder if shyt hits the fan, Drury can’t be on board with this

Hunt has been horrendous and Rooney is devoid of skill. What does having either in the lineup provide?

I'm not even sure I feel like watching the game. I'm livid right now.

Can’t wait for kakko to get offer sheeted and we can’t match. He’s gotta be pissed

Well I assume Strome and Georgiev are walking and they're going to rid themselves of Nemeth. They'll match any offer as long as it isn't outlandish.

You should see the replies to the tweets announcing kakko is out. Sportsnet calling Gallant out too

Seriously. Unless Kakko is hurt how does this benefit anyone? Are they trying to ruin his confidence? Are they trying to get his value as low as possible? Is their opinion of him is that he's less than (frank)ing Dryden Hunt?

Not crazy with the move but if the win all is forgiven. Lgr

It's not hyperbole to say this is a fireable offense pending outcome.

Huge risk by Gallant here. I’m literally shocked but there has to be more to the story on this

Really hope I eat crow but it seems like subtracting offense from the lineup is not the way to go here

This move can only decrease their chances of victory. If they win it will be in spite of this decision.
