GDT: #2 - 10/14/21 | stars @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

People blaming Nils but that play was really on Nemeth

It was Nils all the way, first wasn’t ready to get the pass and then the OLE

 

[Off Sides]

Maybe if they added more grit to the roster?

 

[TGWL]

We look slow. We have more skill now but I miss the team speed we had the season we lost to the Kings. Teams kept no gap control. They retreated because we could beat them down the ice.

Teams started building in that direction and they did it better than us (AV)

 

[CasusBelli]

You think Suzuki would look any better here? There is a common denominator at play unfortunately.

In the end two things are ultimately at fault:

1) the decision to do a half-assed rebuild
2) terrible talent development

 

[SRHRangers]

The kids are playing. But they’re kids.

And Krav would be playing, and Krieder would be dealt 2 years ago, and we wouldn't have Trouba on the books and Jones would be playing.

It was just a mistake to try to do both simultaneously.

 

[Machinehead]

He would put up 100 points for them. This organisation doesn't now how to develop kids into stars.

Montreal is even worse than we are at developing forwards.

Their most explosive player since mid-80's is Tomas Plekanec.

 

[Guyute]

NOTE TO SELF:

DON’T SUCK!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Team needs more skill

 

[Daves a mess]

Pics.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I'm also in da 904

Me too, well Saint Augie to be more specific.

 

[rdhstlr23]

It's not like these early games don't matter but some of you guys really need to f***ing chill and give it 10-15 games, at least. I know there's the panic of "this looks just like last year" but the changes aren't going to happen overnight.

Or don't, and f***ing panic. Whichever.

Fair. But, there are expectations. That’s just the way it is. And when you have expectations you don’t get the luxury of looking like shit without people getting mad.

To this point, we can’t do shit on offense. Holy f*** does it look like we miss Buchnevich.

And again, in order for the Rangers to make a leap guys like Kaako, LaFreniere and Chytil have to take a step/leap forward. No more BS Corsi stats, or cool analytics, you gotta put actual points on the board…especially if you’re Kakko.

 

[CasusBelli]

Matthews looks like a white, huskier version of Prince. And, no, I don’t want to be your lover.

 

[duhmetreE]

we look out of sync...

WHY DIDN'T WE UTILIZE PRE-SEASON!? I don't understand it. Letting players that have 0% chance of making the team.. it's precious time for a new roster and new system

 

[Tob]

Julien Gauthier scores our 1st goal or I delete my account

 

[EdJovanovski]

No cap!

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Teams started building in that direction and they did it better than us (AV)

We seemed to have a several breakaways every game and the stretch passes were fun. Not much of that now.

 

[will1066]

We look slow. We have more skill now but I miss the team speed we had the season we lost to the Kings. Teams kept no gap control. They retreated because we could beat them down the ice.

It's more of hesitation to get in and get hit for the puck

 

[DuneGoon84]

It's time for Panarin to do Panarin stuff. Zibs got paid, he never struck me as a player that forces the play. He is opportunistic

 

[Raspewtin]

He would put up 100 points for them. This organisation doesn't now how to develop kids into stars.

the same montreal who just let a 3rd OA go for a 1st and 2nd and drafted one of the worst ES players in the league at 3OA in 2012 and traded a future top pair D for a 40 point middle 6 center who’s been a big disappointment as a 3OA?

get real lol

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Bad goal from defense to goaltending, but a bigger issue is how lackluster every minute before that was. You get blown out opening night, come back for a home opener, and look equally incompetent. It's hard to understand.

New coach, new system, new players. It's going to take time, maybe 15-20 games to see what this team is. I really don't understand why this is so hard to understand for some. It's like nobody has watched hockey before.

 

[CasusBelli]

So … why didn’t we OS Pettersson again?

 

[duhmetreE]

it feels like our team is the only one where the kids struggle to score

 

[RangerLifer]

In the end two things are ultimately at fault:

1) the decision to do a half-assed rebuild
2) terrible talent development

After all, it's written in stone that a real legitimate rebuild MUST TAKE AT LEAST 10 Years.

 

[tomobson]

Nemeth and Nils please don't switch sides again

 

[gravey9]

Reminds me of the good old days when Dubi was kissing Step for his first game hat trick. Times have changed.
