GDT: #10 - 02/07/2013 | New York Islanders @ New York Rangers | 7:00 PM - MSG

[Gardner McKay]

God?

I dunno. First expression that came to my mind. That third pairing definitely screams "we are ****ed"

 

[Leetch66]

5-1 Isles or 5-1 Rangers . How can you tell with the way we have been playing ? They likely kept Boyle out to keep him from going after Carkner for last years playoffs...at least this way it keeps him out of harms way . LOL...yeah right !!!

Torts indicates that one of the top players who he considered benching "has five goals". Translation: Marian Gaborik

I think Carkner is out tonight. Boultons in over him, correct?

Watch Thomas dress for the game, despite all odds, out of disdain for Lundqvist and his socialist home country and post a 57 save shutout.

Calling it.

I just lost it reading this. Thank you for the laugh.

Very interesting. I don't disagree that Gabby needs to be better but if we're not taking points into consideration, which I guess he's not considering that he's thinking about benching Gabby, Richards has been...worse. I don't even know the right adjective there.

Another day, another blackout. This time, NJ and BUF, while 2 MSG shown teams play each other AGAIN and get blacked out. Absolutely hate the out of market rules.

57 shots for the rangers?

i'm watching torts on behind the bench, I like it and it explains a bit about why some losses have happened. He is adjusting and listening to the players, but he has over practiced them and that hurt them in the games. I hope he adapts, sounds like he is!

let's go rangers!!!!

for the best intro...

 

[Thunderhead]

Rangers score at least 2 and will win it in OT or SO.

tbh i wouldve guesses they werent practicing enough onstead of them being over practiced

 

[Thunderhead]

Again , Boyle gets punished but Stepan gets a pass. This is BS. I like Torts, but he's getting annoying lately.

 

[slipknottin]

Gaborik has been hiding much more in the corner. Not going to score goals from there.

 

[Riverdale]

Getting anxious, come on isn't it 7:00 yet?

 

[KingP]

lets ****ing goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[charlie460]

Torts on scratching Boyle: "I want him to be miserable."

Stepan is third on the team in shots. If they are going to start benching guys for not putting away opportunities I think they need to start with Nash and bench everyone.

stepan has been good in the past 4 games and he is putting points up. boyle has not and is not.

 

[dmjt4160]

That 3rd line of Kreider-Miller-Callahan looks so sexy when you think a couple days ago it was Rupp-Boyle-Ferriero

 

[Jabroni]

Torts on scratching Boyle: "I want him to be miserable."

Did he really say that?

 

[Thunderhead]

Yeah , but Stepan is supposed to be the "skilled" one, the "wonder" boy.

 

[slipknottin]

Did he really say that?

The entire quote - On what he hopes Boyle gets from sitting: “To be miserable. And I hope that he never puts me in this type of decision again. Brian knows how we play. He's not gonna pick up anything watching tonight’s game. He’s not playing. And I know he loves to play. And he will get another opportunity to play. And I hope I don’t have to be involved in this type of decision again with him.â€

torts said he was a little surprised because their practices were only 30-40 minutes, but I think without the training camp they could get burned out fast, so I can see why the players were feeling tired

 

[Riverdale]

Leads the team in goals...
