GDT: #1 - 10/3/13 | New York Rangers @ Phoenix Coyotes | 10:00 PM - MSG

People need to remember, we're without two of our best offensive players. Other guys are going to get ice time because of that.

Do we really think the team is going to do any better with them?

 

[Machinehead]

I have not noticed Stepan out there at all outside of his assist. Perhaps he should've went to camp.

Nope. That $100K was far more important.

 

[Ian]

MDZ should be traded for a right handed offensive d-man or right handed sniper. He is redundant on this team. We have way too many left handed d-men.

I'd be happy to trade him to anyone who still thinks he has first pairing/1st PP upside.

Another player with all the skills in the world but a 10 cent head to go with it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

OMG Lundqvist! Henrik omg, wtf Lundqvist, omg wtf Henrik, wow wtf!?

Sort of creepy and weird that you feel the need to respond to me whenever I offer a criticism of Hanks play.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Lirl they trapped smith

 

[16 To Stanley*]

JT fight....

 

[JohnC]

Alright that's hilarious

 

[BBKers]

Gorgeous pass by Nash.

Stretching it but a nice one. Keep it up

 

[Machinehead]

Miller just slapped a *****

 

[ajdj10]

Oh man that was funny.
Best part of the night.
Need to gif that baby up!

 

[The Gloaming]

Lol at Smith

 

[Ail]

Sort of creepy and weird that you feel the need to respond to me whenever I offer a criticism of Hanks play.

Sort of stupid and ignorant that you blame Henrik for every goal even though they aren't always on him.

You don't think the team will be better with Callahan and Hagelin?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Smith's got a hat!

 

[Boruto]

Might as well chance it with 4 on 4 at this point.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Reminds me of the Running Man

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Ranger goal coming here.

 

[Fanned On It]

I felt like we were creating at least SOME chances in the first and somewhat in the second period... this third has been brutal offensively, though. Honestly, it seems like the team reverted to playing Torts style hockey this period afraid to do anything and not making direct passes. Too much banking off the boards and not enough tape-to-tape.

I'm hopeful things will change after the team gets comfortable with the system/each other. Not liking what I see in this period, though... It's like we're only slightly better at offense but worse on defense.

Not as creepy as your avatar.

 

[dmjt4160]

He's focusing a lot on his pads, and being thrown off the rest of his game.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Sort of stupid and ignorant that you blame Henrik for every goal even though they aren't always on him.

3rd goal was his fault.

Again, I find it very creepy and weird that I can't make a comment on the guy without you sensing it and instantly posting. The funny thing is that I knew who you were responding to (me) without even seeing your original post.

So add predictable in there, as well. Predictable, creepy, and weird.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

And that's game.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

this is just ugly

 

[DoTheBlue]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Oh calm down. The comment was tongue in cheek.

It's game one, no one looks perfect and it's to be expected.

Most in here can't seem to understand that a team in a new system, with a new coach, on the road, in a different time zone, without two of their best players, is going to have a little trouble out of the gate.

You've been whining about Nash most of the game and act like you're holier than now when anyone else posts anything that doesn't agree with you.

I've talked about EVERY one of the things you mentioned that people "can't seem to understand" and Nash's game has warranted some abuse. Until the third period, he looked like he was still treating this game like an exhibition. That's not the compete level you want to see from your big money player in the season opener. Shouldn't he be pumped to come out flying?
