GDT: #3 - 01/19/21 | devils @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Filip Chytil]

I hate to break it to you guys but Kakko f***ing sucks.

Needs to grow out the hair like Mika. Would probably help.

 

[NYR]

Everyone blamed Ruff for our horrible defense last year. Devils have not allowed a 5v5 goal still. I think there was some age-bias in the hate Ruff got. He's taking Quinn to school.

I knew that all along but some people are under the illusion that the defensive coach makes up his own defensive system.
Bobos...

 

[Machinehead]

If KK is a first line forward, or even a second line forward, he’d be on the PP. That’s where top six forwards play. No?

No, that's where Brett Howden and Brendan Lemieux play.

 

[SA16]

Bottom 3 on ice time: Gauthier, Kakko and Chytil. By a lot btw.

So the 3 forwards who are on L3/L4 and don't play special teams today. Not a surprise.

 

[Tob]

I am like, so sick of my entire hockey experience being about yelling at the coach to play like 2 players less.

 

[will1066]

Phil Di Giuseppe has a full minute more than KK and Chytil

Even Phil's mother would question this

Well, they're on the same line...

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Like if they don't come out pressing the action in the third I wouldn't give Quinn another game.

This is still winnable. The Devils are NOT THAT GOOD.

 

[Richard Banger]

Showtime for Alexis.

That’s going to be impossible when Strome keeps giving the puck away to the other team.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

If only Laf and Panarin had a true 2C. Hell, even Erik Christensen would be better than Strome.

 

[Machinehead]

You believe Kakko is playing great and not seeing more ice time?

I like Kakko and hope he becomes great. I am concerned that last season he had the worst metrics since metrics have been calculated.

But, for the fourth time, Hughes looks awesome. That's indisputable.

This is the second game in a row Kakko has good metrics.

 

[CasusBelli]

No, that's where Brett Howden and Brendan Lemieux play.

The Lemieux choice makes no sense to me. Howden is a stretch, but maybe Quinn thinks that some offensive opportunities could lead to a breakout, based on his improved performance so far in the past three games. Even then, I’d rather put KK on unit 2, if just to give him extra ice time.

 

[NYR Viper]

Why does Gauthier need to do to prove he needs more ice time? I feel like he’s creating offense every shift he has. He wins puck battles. He goes to the net. He creates separation with his speed. And yet every game he’s at 7-9 minutes. Like WTF

 

[Rangers in 7]

Strome is comparable to Rantanen?

That made me just stop reading lol

 

[JimEIV]

Sorry

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This is the second game in a row Kakko has good metrics.

Nah but he sucks.

If he had an easy tap in goal tonight everyone would be sucking his nuts though.

 

[Daves a mess]

Over/ Under on a Kaako hatty in the third?

Ya know, him getting some skin in the game.

 

[Mikos87]

Let's see Mika in for Strome. Down by 2, might as well.

 

[duhmetreE]

I liked Strome so much more when he was on the 3rd line with Names and Fast.

He's this years Fast. The fact that he's playing with Panarin and PP1 makes me hate him more than is warranted.

Fault is on Quinn

 

[Machinehead]

The Lemieux choice makes no sense to me. Howden is a stretch, but maybe Quinn thinks that some offensive opportunities could lead to a breakout, based on his improved performance so far in the past three games.

Ok but it still directly contradicts what you said.

 

[17futurecap]

Chytil 19/3
Kakko 17/3
PDG 16/4

5 on 5 in like 8 minutes, just bad coaching.

 

[aufheben]

Like if they don't come out pressing the action in the third I wouldn't give Quinn another game.

This is still winnable. The Devils are NOT THAT GOOD.

I mean they had 22 shots on goal in the 2nd period lol

 

[LOFIN]

I hate to break it to you guys but Kakko f***ing sucks.

That's pretty sad because he has been the best skater for Rangers tonight, given the opportunity.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Bill Pidto provides me more info in 150 seconds than most people do in 15 minutes. National treasure.

 

[Black Aces]

Why does Gauthier need to do to prove he needs more ice time? I feel like he’s creating offense every shift he has. He wins puck battles. He goes to the net. He creates separation with his speed. And yet every game he’s at 7-9 minutes. Like WTF

This is very true. I feel like he looks good in his limited minutes.

 

[Doctyl]

Ah gotta love the “if Kakko was good, coach would play him” argument.

see DeAngelo, Anthony and Shesterkin, Igor.

also get a new logical fallacy, I’m f***ing sick of the slurping up to authority
