GDT: #2 - 10/07/17 | RANGERS @ leafs | 7:00 - MSG

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

At least the Pens won back to back to ease the pain of a 10 goal onslaught.

 

[Machinehead]

To everyone saying Hank is the only one playing good, he really isn't. Can't control a rebound to save his ****ing life

Only one playing good?

He's been one of our worst players.

 

[Brief Candle]

Is it too early to start freaking out yet? This is painful to watch...

 

[nevesis]

This is a good team building exercise, this is that mid-season loss they need to reflect on and go on a crazy post-January winning streak just like 2014.

I mean, Penguins got thrashed 10-1 the other night. Doesn't matter if they are the champs or not, that hurts those guys and is a lesson.

Only good things can come from this. Onward and upward.

 

[aufheben]

You should be happy.

Why? I am 95% sure this is not ideal.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I thought Lundy was benched when the showed a goalie on the bench but he is still in there. The team is playing a pond hockey game. They have been bad as has Lundy. Should be 3-1.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Pretty disgraceful start to the season. Time to scrap the team bonding vacation and play a full preseason schedule.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

What you're watching is a game between a team that'll be a perennial powerhouse and another that'll continue to perpetuate as a borderline playoff team.

I just need the Leafs to avoid winning the cup until 2022 so that the Rangers no longer have the dubious distinction of the longest drought between wins.

 

[Nickmo82]

Hank going to pull a Patrick Roy tonight?

 

[trilobyte]

Rangers should be ashamed of themselves. Disgraceful effort.

It really is. No bones about it.

 

[mrmovies779]

We better get better goaltending

better goaltending wont help when the defense is playing like a dumpster fire.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I love how arrogant the Toronto crowd is after being league laughing stocks for years. f*** them.

 

[Hire Sather]

But wait, we were told this would be one of the best defenses in the league this year.

Its not, the goalie is declining, the offense is good but lacking a star player. Team needed a rebuild, not two other big contracts on the back end.

Pat that back harder. 2 games and bows are being taken.

 

[Maximus]

Chuckle Chuckle.
Might as well. Ha Ha.

Yes, Grabs scored. On a semi-breakaway.

Well I did say I was looking for a Grabner breakaway to give us some life...right?...Grabs forgot which net...no problemo...lol

This is laugh out loud now. I do love the fact Hank just now after he made that save and crowd cheered him, raised his arm with puck and went along with the joke. Thought that was pretty cool...what can I tell ya.

Shit happens. It's early....get this bad shit out of the way now.

 

[Irishguy42]

Lol Hank showing his glove to the crowd. He's feeling sassy.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

What is the save % this period. Realizing that save % is a team stat.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Well at least the pens let up 10 the other night.

True that. Good point. Stanley Cup Champions looked very AHL.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Another turnover. Too loose with the puck.

 

[Brief Candle]

better goaltending wont help when the defense is playing like a dumpster fire.

Agreed, but he's lost site of how many pucks tonight? Hell, this stoppage just now, he was looking for it.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

The season starts and i'm like.

 

[RiceCooker]

Just got in and see things are not going well .... Did we at least get some looks !!

 

[RangerBlues]

Lol Hank showing his glove to the crowd. He's feeling sassy.

Now it looks like hes chatting with himself.

 

[nevesis]

Only assume they'll pull Lundqvist after the 1st and he can play tomorrow.

Pavelec is scheduled for tomorrow, but I would take Hank out and put Pavelec in for the 2nd and 3rd.

No reason to have his stats f***ed because the team in front of him doesn't want to play.

 

[Lays]

Only one playing good?

He's been one of our worst players.

Earlier in the thread you can see people saying we were only in the game because of him and shit like that, he's been terrible since last year. His legs are more open than Christy Mack's.

 

[trilobyte]

Watching preseason, I thought the team needed another half dozen games.
Who knows? They don't look ready quite yet. The defense has better in them than this, but not much happening up front either, let's face it.
