The Rangers and Lightning both played shorthanded tonight in a tight game that had a lot of good goaltending. Luckily for the Rangers, Victor Hedman wound up missing most of this game which led to more chances for the Blueshirts.

  • It’s the first intermission and NOW is when Tyler lets me know he can’t cover the game takes. Shame him, folks. Shame him hard.
  • And now I need to recall everything I was thinking. My memory is terrible.
  • The ceremony for Girardi was nice. Some geniuses pointed out that you can’t celebrate Girardi if you questioned his usage at the end of his Rangers career. That’s baloney. You can appreciate what he did while recognizing that he wasn’t what he was at the end.
    • Baloney or bologna? One’s a meat and one means nonsense. I insist they are interchangeable.
  • Marc Staal a healthy scratch – about time. Same things that apply to Girardi apply to Staal. I was an unabashed Staal fan way back when. I was at the game where he lost an eye. I’ve never heard the Garden so quiet in my life. It was eerie.
  • Filip Chytil looks good. That line with Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich looks good. So that’s what a 2C looks like.
  • That’s all I remember from the first period. See Point #2.
  • Why does every single NHL team drop pass in the neutral zone on the rush on the powerplay?
  • Kaapo Goalko. I’m making it happen. Like fetch, except successfully.
  • Chytil is going to be here for a while.
  • Adam Fox is one great passer.
  • Oh and now Tyler answers my message that I’m going to roast him in this one because he let me know so late. That was 20 minutes ago.
  • Name a Ranger more snake bitten than Kreider.
  • I just used grenadine to make my old fashioned, instead of simple syrup and maraschino cherries. Does the job, nowhere near as good.
  • Note to self. Make more simple syrup.
  • The Rangers are playing a sneaky good game right now.
  • This is some mighty fine goaltending on display tonight.
  • Just thinking about what will happen when Mika Zibanejad comes back. Logically speaking, he slides into the 1C, Chytil remains 2C, and the rest gets figured out. But for some reason I think Strome will be the 2C.
  • And Chytil comes through! The kids, they are alright.
  • Fox. Chytil. Kakko. The future. It has arrived.
  • And the empty netter by Strome.
  • Can any of the goal scorers legally buy beer?
