GDT: 10/4 - Preseason Game 5 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils, 7pm EST, MSG, MSG+

[Zats Muccarello]

Lavi looks stressed lol

 

[GENESISPuck94]

It's Lafreniere's fault, amirite.

 

[Rempe73]

I’m willing to wait one more season. I don’t even know if we’ll make the playoffs but I’ll wait. If we don’t get to the conference finals at the very least, I’m good with a full rebuild. The Devils keep churning out good young players and we keep getting worse. It ain’t happening.

 

[rangersfansince08]

The Devils got here by being bad for ten years.

We ruined it by shooting our load on the rebuild and hitching our wagon to this mid ass lineup.

We should have had another handful of very high picks.

We basically reneged on the letter not even two calendar years later. Gorton couldn't help himself and sank the whole ship.

Gorton was horrible indeed. So happy that loser was fired. Davidson too.

I’m sure Dolan was a big part of it

Quick sucks

 

[DialUp]

Unironically, yes.

 

[TominNC]

Just most of it

I won’t argue that. But new coach, etc. oh never mind just put on this game

 

[Machinehead]

I’m sure Dolan was a big part of it

The letter went out with Dolan's blessing like anything else.

Gorton promised his boss a rebuild and then wasted his boss's money getting back to being a first round exit buoyed by goaltending which is what we always were.

How bad does it look? I can't watch

 

[Rempe73]

They wake up with 10 seconds left in the period lol

 

[duhmetreE]

how is that not interference?

 

[HonestGabe]

Calling a “slash” on Mika but letting that interference go is insane lol

 

[17futurecap]

Shoutout Will Cuylle just going deep with the puck.

Rangers can't help themselves. They see $$$$ signs and sign whatever big name they can get their hands on and just like that abandon all sense of reason and logic.

Rangers will never build a team properly.

unwatchable

 

[Harbour Dog]

Can't help but wonder if it's dawning on Laviolette that he's about to have the toughest job at motivating a team that he's ever had.

 

[Cmox]

Hold hold shoot.

 

[will1066]

We need Cuylle simply because we need a semblance of a forecheck

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Feels like game 8 of last years first round

 

[CasusBelli]

Any SOG?

That was embarrassing.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

This Bahlsack guy’s gotta go, how do they not call the crosscheck

 

[duhmetreE]

25 seconds left, time to empty the gas tank

 

[turcotte8]

It's only Oct 4th and I officially hate this team.

That will NEVER happen while Dolan owns this team. Even our rebuild wasn't a true rebuild.
