I was at my best friends house for all the OT goals. The energy was electric and we were all jumping around and screaming and high fiving each other!

[@JohnnyReno71]

As a Rangers fan he’s missed but also injury prone. If I was Drury I would be trading him. Only a mater of time before he gets hurt again.

[@garycurasi2311]

I think I think as a Ranger fan growing üp @MSG weds-Sunday nights.CHYTIL ,CHYTIL,my option we would have beat the Panther

[@louispeddiltton47]

i hope he can play all year. his not playing all year was why he was dead weight. honestly, why did he even play? coaching has a sick sense of humor or its in the contract? pretty messed up if you ask me.

[@cocomarsh1]

If Phil goes down, what's plan B? Is he in the system?

[@louispeddiltton47]

im guessing plan b is chytil retires and someone gets promoted. chytil knows he has to get a stronger head. no offense to chytil but if he cant play we cant take him. i think this is his last year or the start of a few years of play. he is a good player. hopefully he can carry what he needs to carry.

[@tbonet859]

No. Because Chytil can not handle the intensely nasty, physical brutality of Post Season hockey, anymore. Nor can he handle the heavy physicality of the long Regulation Season. Love Chytil. But he can't handle it. His long term health and stability, is the most important aspect, here. But ya' can't carry a player who will not be able to battle for the puck, or fight through the physicality of the game: night in, night out. Drury is supposed to be building a Cup Championship team. Fragility does not win Cups.

[@louispeddiltton47]

chytil! work out your neck! you will have a better defense about your head!

[@mattmakuta]

Don’t think he’s watching this
