GDT: #11 - 02/08/21 | islanders @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG, NBCSN

[Cmox]

The piles are going to pick up on that around the net to center shit real quick

 

[effen]

I don't know what Buchnevich is trying to accomplish in this period.

He looks like he had 3 cups of coffee and is doing things out of jitters.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Built like kingpin

Lol that’s who he reminds me of.

 

[duhmetreE]

Blind pass. Blind pass. Blind pass. Blind pass.

it's as if someone is suppose to be there

 

[Cmox]

Buch is driving me insane

 

[Fataldogg]

This is like watching paint dry. Boring as you can get.

 

[SRHRangers]

I want someone to hit Matt Martin so hard, his blockhead father in law feels it.

 

[effen]

the Isles play like Quinn's first year team in the offensive zone. That is not a compliment.

 

[LOFIN]

This is like watching paint dry. Boring as you can get.

Islanders for you. I mean I guess it's ok for their fans the last seasons since they have been good, but if they are not on top of this division my god this team would be awful to follow.

And I can apreciate a good defensive team as anyone would, but man...

 

[CasusBelli]

Who were you passing to, Buch?

Thus Passed Buchnevich: An Assist for All and for None

Translated by Chris Kreider

Thought we’d move from Kant to Nietzsche tonight.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Kakko really coming into his own

 

[Overcast]

Buch trying about 12 passes into people's shins. 13th time will be a charm.

 

[RGY]

Strome is so f***ing useless.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Ugh, these games against the Islanders are frustrating AF.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

*everytime the Icelanders have the puck*

Gee, I wonder if they are going to dump, chase, and look to the point.

 

[aufheben]

The Rangers need to employ someone who’s sole responsibility is making Adam Fox gifs during games.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Good defensive game so far

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

That was a decent period.

What stood out though was how easily the Islanders broke the puck out compared to us. Most of our forwards outside of PDG and Kreider weren’t up for doing the dirty work.

 

[Machinehead]

I just got a pizza. Holy shit it's cold outside! It's cruel and unusual.

 

[will1066]

Gotta wonder if Jacques Martin will be to our D what Allaire is to our goalies

Would like to think that.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

So many dumb passes in that period.

 

[mike14]

Pretty good period. D looks very good for the most part.
Buch's worst period for the year
Kakko's work along the boards has come a hell of a long way since last season

 

[duhmetreE]

had good pace but they look confused

 

[Kravtsov420]

I just don’t like the offensive zone scheme with Quinn. I think it’s pretty simple, you outnumber the opponent down low with your forwards. I think forward 2 and 3 are usually too far back or too slow to get there. Basically making it 1v2 or 1v3 against down low.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Does Kreider not trust his speed any more, or has the league just caught up to him in that regard?
Twice now he's had the opportunity to take a defender on 1-on-1 but rather than attempt to skate past them, he turns

He's always done that. Always turns instead of taking it hard to the net when he has the speed and size to do so.
