GDT: #11 - 10/28/18 | RANGERS @ kings | 3:30 - MSG

[aufheben]

Stevens is on the hot seat.

LA will have to show a great sense of urgency.

Forgot the kids name, but LA has a speedster that's worth keeping an eye on.

My guys out west say McDavid like speed. No hands or iq.. But the speed... He's got it.

#51 Auston Wagner - RW

Since when did McLeod become a defensive stalwart. He is just a trash player. Fast, sure.

Eh, of the options, he's kinda the only choice. I might have put Names there instead, but they seem to be trying to jump start him a bit. It puts Chytil between a pair of veterans with no real pressure to score. I see the thinking here. Like I said--I don't want it to be a permanent role, but for a game or two, it isn't a bad idea psychologically speaking.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hopefully half the team did not go out drinking last night

 

[Nickmo82]

Here's hoping Chytil manages to rise above having one of the worst linemates in the league and does things. Also, hope Buchnevich produces.

 

[effen]

Why is Spooner being promoted?

played decently with hayes last year
mixing it up
might be a guy who's a little weak mentally and needs a good deployment
supremely useless in the neutral or defensive zone
probably tries in practice
seemed to be skating harder of late

choose your own adventure

 

[aufheben]

Am I the only one who can't see the lineup in the GDT?

 

[DanielBrassard]

How can you expect Chytil to score playing with who he's playing with?

 

[Trxjw]

Brown back? Yeah we're screwed.

 

[Ori]

Dustin Brown is back on the top line for LA - he had 61 pts. last season.

 

[effen]

How can you expect Chytil to score playing with who he's playing with?

the idea is to get him to play better and show fortitude, not get him counting stats?

 

[Tob]

Big game for the tank. Detroit is already giving us headaches, can't have L.A. darkhorse in the race.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I guess agree to disagree. I just don't believe in jump starting someone by putting them on the 4th line. In fact, I'd argue it's the complete opposite. If he wanted to jump start him, why not put him with the best players on the team?

I think Kovalchuk shows up this game

That's not what Joe said.

 

[effen]

That's not what Joe said.

why does it matter what joe said? his audience is you.

 

[duhmetreE]

Spooner is not good enough and will not be a part of this team moving forward.

WHY THE FECK is he getting PP time and top9 minutes - especially over the kids

 

[nevesis]

Beat this f***ing team. Let’s go!!!

 

[duhmetreE]

BTW Staal is our #2 d-man right now - behind Pionk

Wonder why we're struggling

 

[Ori]

yeah I agree @duhmetreE - hopefully he is moved at the TDL so streaky player.

 

[Nickmo82]

Seems to be a lot of empty seats - don't they know they get to watch first liner Jimmy Vesey?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Beautiful play

 

[effen]

zucc with his work boots on

 

[duhmetreE]

Ranger special... icing the puck\

need a Too Many Men penalty now

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Let's just pray it's to try and get him some points so they can sell him higher.

There's a big football game. Packers Rams at 4. Also World Series later tn in LA.
