GDT: #19 - 11/15/17 | RANGERS @ blackhawks | 8:00 - NBCSN

[trilobyte]

AV has shown that he can load up the better players with ice time but it is a late stage strategy in the third, isn't it? That's how it has looked to me, not sure if totally right though.

Is this like the hundreth 1-0, 2-1 Ranger/Hawk game in the past 6 years?....lol

Seriously and I'm not going to cheat and google it but it sure seems as if we've seen this same exact Rongo/Hawk movie many many times before.

What's also uncanny is how well the Rangers play vs the Hawks pretty much every time they play...

remember last year's goalie duel where Raanta was on FIRE stacking pads and Holden scored top cheese in OT for us? what a game.

 

[nevesis]

WHAT THE HELL, HANK? That goal was so soft, I had to drop in to the GDT to gripe about it.

Have you watched the first two periods?

 

[Maximus]

Not worried at all. This has 2-1 Rangers written all over it.

It's the way we roll when we play Chicago.

Screw it and I'm going to check how many 1-0,2-1,3-2 games we've had with them...It's got to be at least 5-6 in the past 4 years

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Blackhawks deserves a goal and probably more that period. We gave them far too many quality chances. Hank is the only reason we’re not trailing.

Bad goal to give up but that’s just truly lousy luck.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Does Santa want this family to die of heart disease?

 

[BBKers]

Too bad to let such a soft one in after excellent goaltending. 20 minutes left. Hawks look depleted from old. We can win this

Yea...now poor Raanta caught a case of the Coyotes.....

Of course I remember that game. It was the battle of the backups....Darling vs Raanta with our guy emerging victorious.

That's what I'm saying...most of our games vs these guys are always the same type of game as tonight is. And typically it's our boys who emerge victorious. It's odd but we sort of have the Hawks #....

Doesn’t excuse that shit.

Sorry. All too common these days.

Yeah, he stood on his head at times through 2... he’s the 2nd highest paid goalie in the league.

Can’t let that in.

Love him... but he can’t

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Sadly, slayer of TFG1, you are correct. I have been hoping the Yotes would have gotten better every year since their WCF but it seems to be the exact opposite. I feel like Raanta hates the situation more than anyone may think

 

[RangerLifer]

I hope the Rangers saved their best for the 3rd.

 

[Bob Richards]

Yeah, as frustrating as Hank's softie was, its not like he was a lone blemish.

We got shelled pretty hard in the 2nd

 

[Boruto]

Honestly, not to shit on Staal but a genuine -15 and -13 on that pairing, on pace to give up 22 shots just by themselves is absolutely unacceptable.

If their names were Skjei-Smith, they'd get "lost" on the bench again.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Can someone break Millbury's jaw in 23 places so we don't have to hear him yap anymore tonight?

 

[nevesis]

Doesn’t excuse that ****.

Sorry. All too common these days.

Can’t let that in.

Love him... but he can’t

He's also a human being. Come back down from that high horse.

Would steal someone's shoe and use that as a temporary jaw.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Milbury: His name will never be mentioned.

Was it Voldemort?

The Hawks consistently roll out the Kane line against them and AV doesn't seem to care or try to counter in anyway

 

[trilobyte]

Rangers have shown they can correct and come back from a negative period. Having faith here because I see no reason not to.

 

[Boruto]

Sometimes those partially screened shots that you don't see leave the tape can be funky. Same with the Yandle goal. Henrik is losing a tad of reaction time.

He's played great so far. Worth his 2nd highest salary in the league in this one. Can't point to one goal against and say, $8.5 MILLION!!

Preferably with a shoe

 

[Maximus]

Going back to 2005, there have been 12 of last 16 games where Rangers/ Hawks games have resulted in less than 5 goals combined. In past 7 games, 5 of them have been either 2-1 or 1-0.

I knew I wasn't hallucinating when I said I've seen this movie before....lol

 

[Boruto]

Quenville is falling into AV trap. If we keep Kane's line in our defensive zone for the full 60 minutes, that means the puck never goes back to center ice which means no one scores.

 

[RangerLifer]

Preferably with a shoe

I remember that night well.
