GDT: #23 - 03/07/21 | Rangers @ Penguins | 7:30 - NBCSN, MSG

So how good would a Lafreniere-Chytil-Gauthier third line be when Panarin comes back? Has to be one of the best in the league.

Keep Laf where he is. Put Panarin on that line with Chytl and Gauthier.

We use it as a term of endearment. When our defensive coverage resembles people trying to escape a kitchen fire, we say "there goes our Rongos again."

Its not a term of endearment. If they play like shit, the correct phrasing is "the Rangers played like shit".

Any questions?

 

[CommaSynapse]

I was glad to see they (more often) pressured the points and kept up the forecheck as I've been arguing for years. It gave them a much stronger transition game and a lot of good chances. I feel validated.

I want the same tonight. Ceci needs to be turned into a turnstile.

More pressure at the points. More. Subban got way too many free shots.

Buchnevich needs to drive the net more. He has the size and skill. I sometimes he's forget he's 6'3" and 200 pounds. It bothers me when he's coming in on a defensemen 1-on-1 and goes wide to the boards. Respectable he's willing to go to those tough areas along the boards, but he could do a bit more with that size.

I despise Pittsburgh, but truthfully, I despise everyone in this division. The rest of them too actually. But Pittsburgh is a gnarly veteran bunch who always finds a way to win. This group could learn alot from them. Tgey played them pretty solid the last two times but Crosby always finds a way to kick sand in your eye and come away with the W. If we can get a win here it will be great for the team going forward. We gotta start winning some against teams above us if we are going to gain any ground. May as well start today.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I would very much like to win this game. Pittsburgh doesn’t impress anyone but they still annoyingly find ways to win

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

These silly thread titles piss my off.

Back to the business at hand...very important to beat a team you outplayed in Pittsburgh earlier but let them get away with 3 points in two games. Make the point tonight. Stay on the roll.

I’m glad someone finally had the balls to call out the nonsense here... no need for silly titles jimmies are maximum rustled.

Is there a way to see forum threads started by someone on your ignore list? I want to read the GDT, just not have the enjoyment spoiled by HF's most annoying poster. Absolutely nothing to do with the current GDT, of course.

 

[kovazub94]

Gonna take note of that and enjoy it even more the next time.

Whatever gives pleasure in your life.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

I'll tell the Rongos origin story again since people keep asking. It actually happened on the main boards so some of our exclusively at-home posters will have missed it.

Somebody on the main boards call us "Rags" and somebody told them "hey, you really shouldn't call them that, Rangers fans consider it derogatory." So he's like "what am I supposed to call them, the Rongos?" and about 50 people we're just like "yes."

That origin story sucks, I thought it was because we've historically been amazing one week and crap the next so we started referring to those downswing as Rongos hockey.

 

[tomobson]

Is georgiev actually in net or have they not decided yet?

Any questions?

Do you yell at clouds?

Close one against Buffalo, should have lost the first one against the Devils, and won yesterday's affair fair and square. That's probably the easier 3 game win streak you'll find anywhere in the league right now. The Pens are not a mighty challenge but we really need this one to be comfortable with ourselves.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I'm in the Rongos is a dumb name camp, and the fact that it was started by someone on the main boards makes it even dumber.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

A win tonight would be huge.

Not expecting it, a strong effort is all im asking for but if they want to turn a corner..

 

[will1066]

Phone battery at 33%. It's a sign.

 

[Reway10]

I'd like a win and goals from Kakko and Laf, more minutes for Gauthier.

 

[Sayba]

Is there any timetable for Panarin? It's like they put him in witness protection. Check the Cinnabons in the midwest for a dude with a wig and fake moustache.

I need a dust filter for a Bread Max extract pressure pro model 60. Can you help me with that?

 

[Fitzy]

Is georgiev actually in net or have they not decided yet?

We should know at 6

Any questions?

Who cares

 

[CasusBelli]

When did this whole crop of “de” players pop up? Prior to 2010 or so I don’t remember seeing that prefix, and then we saw de Haan, Dekeyser, Debrincat, Debrusk, Desmith. It’s rather intriguing.

 

[Machinehead]

Any questions?

Ok, dad.

 

[Machinehead]

It sort of became that, yes.

 

[CasusBelli]

Phone battery at 33%. It's a sign.

That Roy is stating for us? Can’t be worse than Alex.

Rongos is cringe as f*** ngl
