GDT: #2 - 01/16/21 | islanders @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[NYR Viper]

Digiuseppe for all the crap he gets fits well in this line-up just for the simple fact that he knows he has to retrieve pucks and just get to the net. He keeps it simple but he’s an effective support guy in this lineup

 

[Rempe73]

Everyone was...good.

I guess this is a coaching issue.

 

[kovazub94]

he's alright in front of hte net

It was a decent effort this time but his hands are neither quick nor accurate whether it’s a pass or a shot. Not at the minimum that’s required to be on PP.

 

[Levitate]

how much ice did Miller get? didn't seem like a lot but he either stood out in a good way or not at all...which is pretty good

 

[BBKers]

Panarin came to play. Along with several others. Georgiev best player IMO

 

[Kords]

Liking Trouba and Lindgren so far. Think Hajek is wearing a Fox skin suit, can't fool me.

 

[Levitate]

Panarin came to play. Along with several others. Georgiev best player IMO

Yeah Georgiev just quietly made steady saves. Didn't have to be spectacular a lot, though he made some big saves, but mostly just being solid and stopping the puck

3:35

 

[Kovalev27]

Smith with just a HUGE play saved a goal really.

I thought kakko was the worst player on the ice not named Ryan Strome. He just continues to turn pucks over and lose battles. I think he looks faster bigger stronger but the head is not catching up to the body right now. Looked way better in the bubble so perhaps just needs to get going.

lafreniere just you know he’s a great player.

back to strome. He looks absolutely awful

great period by Georgie

KAndre Miller looks like a different guy from Thursday tremendous change. Looks great.

fox has the ability to bring the game to like a crawl when he has the puck on his stick people just watch him do whatever he wants. It’s pretty amazing. However he is no where near as dangerous on that PP is Tony is.

that was a really good period good sign for Quinn

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Eh, Georgiev had a relatively easy period outside of that one deflection.

One or two questionable plays but overall I’m impressed. Don’t know if he played a lot though.

I just noticed him on that one breakout where he side stepped right and got the puck to Chytil I think

 

[effen]

I suspect that lineup will change but Quinn is "sending a message" about effort and putting grinders on the second PP

Pretty good period, obviously much better than we saw before. not a ton to complain about other than I want to see that third line get more icetime

the 2nd PP is obviously set up around Trouba cranking point shots, Kakko doesn't help that. the grinders do. lots of wing options, nothing wrong with making him earn it, frankly he needs to earn it.

 

[Fugazy]

Georgie was big. Need to be ready for adjustments that Trotz will bring.

 

[egelband]

JJ gonna score a lacrosse goal

On his own net. Natch

 

[Harbour Dog]

That question about having to face Sorokin was so dumb that Mika was speechless

 

[Cynical TyranT]

Just got home, boys. Fill me in real quick besides the box score which I've seen. Thanks in advance.

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin came to play. Along with several others. Georgiev best player IMO

It's a MUCH different game if he lets 1 of those get by him early

double edged sword of a young team. Rollercoaster emotions

 

[Anzi]

Missed the first period. Seems like Georgiev bailed us out for the first 7 minutes but we started playing better?

 

[Osminator]

Really missed Billy Pedo and his 150 giving a nice overview of whats going around the hockey world... so NYR and generally hockey starved...

 

[AB13]

Smith has been extremely solid. Pretty obvious he needs to play regularly.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Digiuseppe for all the crap he gets fits well in this line-up just for the simple fact that he knows he has to retrieve pucks and just get to the net. He keeps it simple but he’s an effective support guy in this lineup

I got nothing against PDG. Should be on the 4th tho

 

[Rempe73]

Smith > DeAngelo

Smith > Makar at this rate if he keeps it up

 

[effen]

The gaps they're giving some of the Islander forwards are absurd.

Someone plant an islander into the third row please.

with no Ruff it's a new defensive system, no?

id imagine they can collapse in the D zone kind of by default but transition D is gonna take a while to get right

Kakko was fine. His line was always in The offensive zone. Baby steps, baby steps...
