GDT: #10 - 10/23/17 | sharks @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[E-Train]

The firesale thread on the trade board should be back in action tonight.

 

[nevesis]

This season started just as most predicted and will most likely end in the same fashion so his decision making if lacking at best IMO..

You really think most Rangers fans saw this team starting this way? I disagree.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

I remember Shatty's welcome interview where he talked about how he couldn't wait to play with Marc Staal lololol

“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable.”

Quoting Twain wont help you. In this case, the facts are backed up with stats. Look them up on www.corsica.hockey.

 

[Drew4u]

You can't win games when your goalie can't stop simple shots. No chance this team makes the playoffs

Waiting for a Kevin Hatcher signing and believing that Vladimir Malahkov will help the power play

A guy like Ales Kotalik could really help the PP.

Who will fill the role of Kevin Stevens' East St. Louis antics?

 

[Tob]

I'm not even worried about the individual plays anymore, Henrik, McDonagh, or John Amirante.

I'd hate to judge players that are trying their best under these difficult times and tough conditions when they're just not themselves.

The whole house is on fire. Anything left standing is going to have to be knocked down to rebuild anyway.

 

[NYR]

He's terrible at puck handling. I agree.

You remember when he first came on the scene and was launching breakout passes half way up the ice to breaking FWDS ala Brodeur?
What ever happened to that Hank lol

 

[haveandare]

Lol whatever makes you feel better.

You mean the plain fact that the season is very young?

Um, I think you missed the meaning of the quote.

Yes 100%..Minus the stats people

It never existed? Ha...

We have 1 goal. And had 6 PPs.

 

[NYR]

It sure did lol

 

[chosen]

Horrible offense? He had 42 pts in 77 games last year. 49 in 89 including the playoffs

I am not talking about his history. I'm talking about right now.

 

[nevesis]

A few of my co-workers who are casual fans of the team only had reservations about replacing Stepan's production, but I can't imagine that a majority of the fanbase could have for seen this start.

I mean, it's literally historically bad. Not seen since the 60's. Who would have predicted that? No way.

 

[bl02]

I love Zucc really do but if this season is lost early he would be one guy we could get a nice return for i'm sure.
Maybe a first and a second? or 1st and 3rd?
Would love to see him go to team that has chance to win cup in west

 

[will1066]

The only way Nash hits the net is if he skates into it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I miss 15 minutes, and Zibanejad has scored from Buchnevich. What a shock, put them back on the same line, and they combine for a goal. Nice going AV.

 

[Jersey Girl]

You mean the plain fact that the season is very young?

My comment was about what's happened so far in this young season so the point stands. I didn't say it would happen for 82 games.

 

[mrhockey193195]

What do you think the score would be if the goalies were reversed?

Probably very similar. Because the Rangers offensive players have terrible finishing ability - always shooting into pads or into the chest of the goaltender. Nash is the perfect example. Nobody on the Rangers has a decent probability of putting a puck in off the post like Donskoi did on a breakaway.

2nd goal is one that Hank gives up that Jones doesn't. Jones gives up goals 1 and 3 in all likelihood. Rangers still don't score on Henrik.

EDIT: Henrik blows it on goal 4. Switch the goalies, and the Sharks are winning 2-1, not 4-1.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Is AV gone yet?


Just checkin'

I would hate to see him go, but i feel the same way. Honestly i feel the same about Hank too, but i suppose he is unmoveable.

That's not exactly what happened, but if it makes you feel better, more power to you.

Couture with a great play, and zero support behind our own net.

You could not possibly be more wrong on this one. That was Lundqvist's fault and no one else's.
