GDT: #29 - 12/8/19 | RANGERS @ golden knights | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[Machinehead]

Kreider politely telling the official to go stand somewhere else

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

trouba really reminds of McD with his hot/cold streaks on offense

 

[DanielBrassard]

even McJesus was below a PPG as a rook

51 points in 45 games in a lower-scoring environment.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Both Kakko and Rantanen look off this season. Both have huge butts but skate like they have no connection to their feet. Don't know what they did with Rautala this summer but it clearly was not ideal. Next summer Kakko needs to work much harder on explosiveness, agility, quickness, footspeed, stamina and his shot... In his current condition Kakko would be two steps behind Liiga play.

LMAO

 

[will1066]

Kakko looks shellshocked

 

[darko]

I missed it. What do Lemieux do?

Banged Reeves' sister.

 

[bleedblue94]

Correct, and for some reason draft +1 players seem to need to pace ppg in the nhl to be deemed legit future stars, and it's a completely unrealistic standard.

 

[CasusBelli]

Subban sucks!

The defensively inept one who (somehow) got into a fight with Plekanec in practice, or the block of Swiss cheese in net?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

LMAO

 

[EdJovanovski]

yeah he just can't skate, he looks like me in beer league after eating too much pizza before the game. He just has no gas. Idk wtf it is with him, he's been an elite athlete all his life.

Pizza is my go-to pregame meal lmao I had pizza today and have a game right after this one ends

 

[NYR]

The defensively inept one who (somehow) got into a fight with Plekanec in practice, or the block of Swiss cheese in net?

Both but especially the one we're facing tonight lol

 

[Trxjw]

Rangers might have to go find another Finn to pal around with Kakko sooner rather than later.

Where does @bobbop rank British Columbia pizza on his North American pizza scale?

 

[dangsLITE]

Honestly they should just scratch kakko the rest of the trip, have him watch the games, and get some needed rest. The late Nov/early December schedule has been brutal and doesn't help that he was sick.

 

[Sayba]

I think Lemmers has to answer the bell here if Reeves wants to fight.

We are up 4-0, I don't see a reason he should.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Strome is a great interview.

 

[Tob]

Strome is a great interview.

Went to the Rick Nash school of interviews.

 

[darko]

Gary Lawless is an idiot

 

[Anzi]

Georgiev has saved about 11 goals over expectation in the past 4 games. Expected goals against of 15, actual goals against just 4.

 

[Kovalev27]

Problem is Svechnikov was actually a positive at 5v5 while Kakko has been one of the worst in the NHL. And going back to 2007-2008 of all 2nd overall picks who have played in the NHL right away he's had the worst impact. Doesn't mean he won't be a star in the future but he's done worse than pretty much every other 2nd overall pick so far outside of raw point totals.

you mean outside of what counts (points) got it. Any of those guys spend 90% of the time next to Brett Howden? Make sure you build that into your metrics.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Where does @bobbop rank British Columbia pizza on his North American pizza scale?

British Columbia sucks. Depressing place with horrid weather, no entertainment, shit food, awful people; it's just so dark and dreary. Only been to NYC once but there was so much energy in that city, I felt like I had this ultra boost of confidence when I was there lol
Not the biggest fan of NY pizza however

 

[JimmyG89]

Georgiev is a wizard in net. He's been unreal.

Hate to say his value is shooting up, but he's playing his way into being a starter in this league

 

[Fitzy]

This is the epistemological modesty thing I've been harping about. Whenever you see anyone make a claim with complete certainty that player X is one of the (Best) (Worst) at something, it's always just pulled from shot metrics. No one else makes claims off of data with such certainty except Economists.

The metrics take into account Quality of Teammates.

oh my god bro this is cringe
