GDT: #31 - 12/29/21 | RANGERS @ cat | 7:00 MSG 2 | HOCKEYS BACK

[17futurecap]

There’s probably a real good 4th line of Hunt Rooney and Barron here with Reaves as your 13th forward and Goodrow shot into the sun.

Even Adam Fox couldn’t save Libor Hajek from another below 40% possession game.

Kakko was playing so well with Strome and Bread and they just changed it, dumb.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Yeah! I actually would!

Don't mind him, he doesn't understand how these things work.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yeah! I actually would!

That makes no sense. Especially since we could have easily won 3 of those games against the good teams and lost 3 against the bad teams as is. With a few bounces going differently in those 6 games. There's a ton of luck.

 

[Mike in Houston]

This loss was completely Libor Hajek's fault. No other offenders. Just him.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

 

[mas0764]

That's what the #1 and 2 overall picks were supposed to be.

It’s two young wingers at the end of the day, which is not enough. Especially if they aren’t exploding into 70 point players inmediately.

Chytil is flaming out, Gauthier sucks and Kravtsov is in Russia. Two young players worth building around in your entire forward core isn’t enough.

 

[chosen]

We need more young elite forward talent. I don’t know how people watch this team and don’t see it.

Rangers outperforming predictions as much as any team in league, yet some are disgusted by their season.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Let's face it. Kreider is awesome in the PP but 5 on 5 he is just as much a black hole on offense as Hunt.

. Sarcasm?

Panarin Strome Kakko

stop looking for a Jesper Fast to build your top 6 ffs. Just load up

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Rangers made me miss Covid today.

Hahaha. The excuses!

Oh ok, just hope for bounces!

Good teams make their own bounces.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Strome sending the puck around the boards with 5 seconds left instead of towards the traffic in front is the shit pickle on top of his shit sandwich of a game.

Lafreneire is gonna have to suck up his LW/RW thing and they need to try him on the Panarin line.

 

[will1066]

. Sarcasm?

Far from it

 

[DialUp]

Yeah but we didn't. Tonight they had all the chances in the world to win and bury this team. They didn't get it done but here comes Florida who buried theirs.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Would love to get @Mandar to give me an updated look at the standings

Couldnt agree more.

 

[Kocur26]

1 win last 5 ….

too many Greg mcklaffreinere’s …

 

[mas0764]

Let's face it. Kreider is awesome on the PP but 5 on 5 he is just as much a black hole on offense as Hunt.

This team doesn't do enough things NHL teams do, which is go into the middle, funnel traffic and pucks to the middle of the ice, and play with jam.

Laf isnt physically ready. Unbelievably Chytil has regressed in the physicality game, getting bodied, won't take the body to make a difference, despite growing physically.

Been saying this about Kreider for months. Yet he was too much a sacred cow to bump out of the top 6 for Kravtsov.

Idiot GM and starting to look like idiot coach.

Yeah, if you're being sarcastic and im reading you correctly. People just like picking on the players who don't have the cachet but played fine tonight

Do you know how much more Panarin would prefer to play with Fast than either of the kids? He got so cised for Fast. Gorton's biggest WTF decision.

100% idiot coach. There's a reason this guy has been run out of towns.

And let's not forget, Gallant was maybe the Rangers third choice.

I'd fire his ass tomorrow and bring up Knobloch

 

[mas0764]

Hunt is a solid 4th line forward so it's a little unfair to judge him for being put in a spot he has no business being in.

It'd be like trotting Dorsett out there with Richards and Gaborik.

Correct; don’t judge Hunt.

The blame for this falls on the idiot GM.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Far from it

hahahahahaha

 

[Mike in Houston]

Exactly.
