GDT: #2 - 10/5/19 | RANGERS @ senators | 7:00 - MSG

[Maximus]

We only have one more game after this in the next what...2 weeks which by the way is ridiculously horrible scheduling.

That said, I do believe we need a Kakko goal to make this long wait just a little bit more easy to deal with.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

The Ottawa announcers called Panarin a Russian Kane... I can totally see it. Both players can stick handle in a phone booth and wire it when the opportunity arises. Both think the game at an elite level

It’s actually an apt comparison.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Love Lemiuex. Hope he fights Tkachuk. Looked like he wanted it last shift but Tkachuk didn’t.

Tkachuk is trying to run Staal. They’ve had something going on all game

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I was told Batherson was going to be one of the next big things in the NHL. Based on what I have seen tonight, not impressed. Yes, I know it is one game.

Based on tonight Ottawa is just sending mannequins out there

 

[ohbaby]

Ya I think he’s about to have an all time great Rangers season.

Panarin too. He’s been great but he has another level.

No doubt they compliment each other.

 

[Edge]

IMO, Buch is what he is - a support player.

That isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes you spend a hell of a lot of time trying to find a guy who benefits from being with skill players, but also “gets” what they’re trying to do.

That’s not necessarily as easy to find as one might think.

 

[EpicDing]

 

[CasusBelli]

That’s a really cute commercial

 

[Kiekura]

true, Kakko would be racking up freebies too but Buch has done nothing to lose the spot and has 3 points tonight

Yeah not saying they should change.

But that second line is not working at all. They need to do something

 

[Fitzy]

It’s actually an apt comparison.

He even skates around with the same sort of hunched over swagger.

 

[Sayba]

Love Lemiuex. Hope he fights Tkachuk. Looked like he wanted it last shift but Tkachuk didn’t.

Tkachuk is trying to run Staal

Thought it was going to happen after that hit.

 

[Leonardo87]

We have all this offense on the right side and now we just need some defense on the left. That's good because elite defense is still easier to find and cheaper than elite offense at every position. That's why they spent on Trouba.

And I wouldn't even worry about "balance." Your pairs are actually way more flexible if one side is defense and one side is offense.

Also need to fill the 2c hole. Strome is not cutting it. Which is obvious at this point. I only see Kakko and Kreider making things happen.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Tkachuk is trying to run Staal

he’s trying to do us a favor

 

[Kovalev27]

As hard as Lias has worked he still never has the puck on his stick. Like ever. Just doesn’t skate well enough even with the effort. I just think Quinn sees the same thing and will go with a more Raw player like Howden every time over him.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Please put Namestnikov between Kreider & Kakko

 

[ohbaby]

Ok, looks like we are in prevent D mode the rest of the game.

 

[Kovalev27]

Kakko has fired pucks wide like crazy. Think the nerves are still there. Just wants to prove himself badly he’s over doing it. Once he gets that first one he’ll settle down

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

We have all this offense on the right side and now we just need some defense on the left. That's good because elite defense is still easier to find and cheaper than elite offense at every position. That's why they spent on Trouba.

And I wouldn't even worry about "balance." Your pairs are actually way more flexible if one side is defense and one side is offense.

And the pipeline on the left side is incredibly flush with talent. If you focus on the long term rather than the next game, I think you’ll agree Gorts has done a great job.

 

[Embryo]

I am really impressed with Panarin so far. Just have to figure out how to stop good teams from scoring and we'll have no problem winning games, but that Jets game is what I think our D will look like most of the season against the top teams.

 

[Raspewtin]

they've tightened up this period

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

You have off till next Saturday, then off till following Friday.

Meanwhile my guys will have played 1 game in Europe, 1 in philly, 3 in western Canada.

The hawks go home for 7 straight including the Flyers again.

The schedule maker must be antonio clown

 

[Tob]

Hall injured.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

If Trouba keeps playing like he has he’s a norris candidate

 

[CasusBelli]

Hajek: the only Libor with a future.

Yes — that was in fact a finance joke.

 

[Black Aces]

Agree. Skilled guy that doesn't drive a line. Not bad for a 3rd round pick.
