GDT: #3 - 10/12/19 | oilers @ RANGERS | 1:00 - MSG

[ijuka]

Marc Staal at a solid 18.96% xGF%.

Personally, I'd have Trouba vs Mcdavid.

 

[Omark]

*invincible

or

*invisible?

Or is that some word I do not know about?

I’m unable to notice his presence on ice.

I have to check what I said earlier

Edit: oh lord I never speak english again..

 

[Machinehead]

Y’all need to fire your ice guy. Wowza. I get there was a basketball game last night but still...People are burning their barns in protest. Really a shame with all the offensive talent on either side.

We need to fire a few of the hockey guys first.

 

[Doctyl]

he literally never touches the puck yet all I hear is how he should be the 2C because of how well he’s playing. I don’t get it. He’s a 4C at best right now until he proves otherwise.

I may be misunderstanding something, but I thought you had to be on the ice to touch the puck

 

[BBKers]

FFS it's only 3 games in. Sheesh!

Why? Give me a rational reason why a guy looking for 7 x 7 gets a longer leash? He stunk in camp too. Put up or shut up

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I too would also like to see lias on the wing at some point

With his skating improved its worth a shot trying him on the wing. Quinn needs to get him more ice time. Kid has looked good but he’s not getting a chance.

Hardly been a masterpiece from either side, but possibly playing hockey with a ping pong ball is to blame.

You guys need to find something else to complain about. Maybe the anthem or the lights or whatever else TSN tells people to be indignant about.

Madison Square Garden has had atrocious ice since the day it opened. Fifth floor ice surface above a theatre and a busy train station, and it's busy. It sucks. It just does. Embrace it. At least there aren't nails sticking up out of the shit like there were in the 70s.

 

[Embryo]

Next goal wins it

 

[Ola]

So because Lundqvist is doing his job, that means Staal is good? That’s the logic that for us in this wonder twins mess in the first place

At the same time, when Panarin, Ziba, Trouba and Buch are playing without the puck — is that Staal’s fault? It’s not his job to get us up ice.

Still many give him — all — the blame for .when his unit is stuck in their own end. I think this is an area where many kind of fail to recognize what the real problem is

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Is Glenn Anderson wearing a suit jacket over a Goretex vest?

There is a reason they call him “Mork”.

No, we would do this on a rock solid tundra in the Yukon.

Hungry?

 

[Machinehead]

I have a theory that if we put a good team on the ice for once the "ice" wouldn't suck.

 

[Crease]

TFW you thought the only game in two weeks was 7pm.

It doesn’t make sense to matchup our first line against one of the few players who can totally dictate play and not allow them to have the puck. It makes less sense to task them with that and then tie an anchor around their skates too.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yeah then we can blame the permafrost for f***ing up the power play.

 

[Rongomania]

KAKKKOOOO

That's not that bad mistake, don't worry.

A lot of people with English as their mother tongue cannot anymore make difference between 'to' and 'too', so take easy.

Ice was good during 13-14.

Maybe we just had good ice in 94?

 

[Irishguy42]

I mean...good teams also have issues with the MSG ice. It's not like it's a negligible factor.

Granted, being a bad team does exacerbate the problems.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hungry?

VERY. But I felt a tad judged upthread about body fat percentage.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah then we can blame the permafrost for ****ing up the power play.

Fire Pearn

I'm not saying he is a 2c yet but it's tough when you are playing on the 4th line. Lias throughout his career is the guy you put with good players to make them better. McKegg and Smith arent those types.
