GDT: #11 - 11/2/19 | RANGERS @ predators | 2:00 - MSG

[haveandare]

The idea was good, the optics of his crosscheck were ugly and got him a penalty mostly because Ekholm obviously sold it. Strome probably should have been able to predict that though. Should have taken his number and looked for a better opportunity in the next period to get back at him.

 

[will1066]

Has a player ever been interviewed about a penalty he took before he even served it yet? Might be an all time first.

Dave avoiding the question.

But Strome owned it.

Damn, Strome, you're great

 

[Anzi]

I like that Strome stood up for his teammate but I don't like rewarding the other team for it. Can't take that penalty.

 

[EpicDing]

Strome just called it a stupid penalty in his interview lol. Why is this a debate?

 

[Tob]

Togetherness and teaminess is what will putt his team together so the penalty is the fine, could learn subtlety though.

 

[GetAGoodFeeling]

You'd be great as an under cover police officer inciting violence at a peaceful protest so the armored response team can baton teenage girls in the head.

That's uh, pretty specific.... is that what you do on off days?

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

That is absolutely NOT the right thing are you guys ****ting me

Breathe buddy. Those are the penalties that are easier to kill.

 

[SA16]

Strome doin the right thing. Protect your teammates. These guys fall so easily all game. Soft.

Taking an entirely unnecessary penalty in a 1 goal game is doing the right thing? Are we trying to win or to make the players feel good?

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

It is what is it. Rather he do that than let Fast get hit continuously. Strome was a little overaggressive, it happens.

Pft I’ll breathe when I feel like it!

"It is what it is."

One of the worst sentences in the English language. It takes no responsibility and offers no solution. A complete fold up and shutdown mentality.

Buck up, this is Rangers hockey.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

There’s a lot of passive people here it feels like. No issue with it. Just an observation.

 

[will1066]

Effin Canes lol

Gotta love that

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Absolutely no problem with that Strome penalty.

If someone didn't take that penalty I'd be upset.

There's a much higher probability the Preds will score on that PP than that hit doing anything negative to the Preds.

 

[eco's bones]

The penalty was kind of dumbass but I can understand it. Refs are kind of f***ed on the play too.

 

[Tawnos]

Yeah, the way a fan reacts to a play on the ice, in context of the game itself, really tells you a lot about someone being a “passive person”...

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

With the Rangers? No he wasn't. Jagr was an amazing player and obviously a better offensive guy due to his natural skill, but the sheer level of creativity from Panarin is on another level.

Jagr was certainly more skilled overall as he's one of the greatest players of all time.

Yea. Jagr was just flat out dominant. Honestly, it was his third or fourth season here that impressed me the most. I can't remember which season it was, but about mid-way through the season he was asked why he wasn't scoring at the dominant pace of previous years and he said that he was getting older and needed to conserve himself for the playoffs. He looked far less dominant in the regular season that year.

Then the playoffs rolled around and he played well above a PPG. He was back to his dominant self. It was unreal to see a player conserve themselves purposefully for an entire NHL season and then just flip a switch. Just an insane specimen.

Who’s to say it doesn’t? You’re telling me there’s an exact science to this? Opinions vary bud.

 

[Tawnos]

I’m at the game in person. Ice looks pretty choppy.

As always a great arena experience though.

 

[Tawnos]

Who’s to say it doesn’t? You’re telling me there’s an exact science to this? Opinions vary bud.

I’m not the one making generalizations here.

 

[Richard Banger]

The toxicity level in this thread is rising

 

[RangersFan1994]

At least make commercials more believable. Who would act like that if they got cheated on? What a stupid betting commercial

 

[ZiGOODejad]

I’m not the one making generalizations here.

I can make as many as I want. You seem to have been offended by it. Which is telling if you ask me.

 

[NYRangers16]

Can we just enjoy that beautiful Svechnikov goal? Total trick shot.

Alright let’s drop this particular tangent.
