GDT: #35 - 1/6/22 | RANGERS @ golden knights | 10:00 - MSG PLUS, MSG2

[Kocur26]

I don't know why McKegg was re-signed. I don't know why McKegg keeps being in the lineup. It defies explanation.

Because we have a gm that traded Buchenvich for nothing.

he’s a Connecticut asshole a horrendous player @ msg .. who hung on to earn a paycheck when he was washed .

he has no business as a GM

Gallant is doing this with snake oil and spirits

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Rangers partied too much in Vegas. They look sluggish

I've seen this before with East Coast teams playing the late game, particularly if it is the first game of their road trip, which means that they are playing the game during their natural biological bedtime. Instead of water, should be giving the players iced coffee and Red Bulls to get some caffeine into their systems.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Jones having a rough time tonight, but he's also the only one who actually stopped Vegas when his pairing and the 4th line are on the ice. Hajek is garbage, and the 4th line is really bad. They get stomped on every game.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Stephenson is real good. His speed is a game breaker too...

He's a top 5 skater in the league. Not just his speed, but he's just an exceptional skater.

 

[will1066]

What are you trying to say by tagging me? Nobody claimed that Jones made a great play. But it doesn't matter because Hajek was in position to cover and played that very poorly. Hajek doesn't get a pass just because the turnover happened by somebody else. That was a pathetic attempt by Hajek.

I tagged you because EdJovo explained it accurately. Yes, Hajek shanked the play. It was a team (non) effort, with Jones failing to get the puck deep, but go ahead and iso the hate on Hajek because that's the popular thing to do. Enjoy.

 

[ThirdEye]

People aren't recognizing that this team has been vastly overachieving all year.

I wouldn't say vastly, but overachieving for sure.

Let's not also forget our biggest weapon is out. In an open game like this he could've easily had 2-3 points by now

 

[Kocur26]

I thought we played one of our best periods in the first and then followed it up with one of our absolute worst.

brutal

Worst of the season ol friend

 

[TGWL]

Very optimistic. Doesn't see 3 goals happening in that period... at least by them.

 

[duhmetreE]

What happened to Hunt? Where his forecheck?

What have Chytil and Gauthier done over the past month? Can we give a guy like Barron a chance... wtf will it take, these guys provided nothing

 

[bobbop]

The third goal was on Jones, not Hajek. He didn’t get the puck deep. Lindgren having a tough night. 3rd line nonexistent. Again.

 

[Leetch94]

At the game boys, that was atrocities.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

One thing Vegas does that I wish we did more of was go for those second and third chances. They’re relentless.

The Rangers have to tighten up on D and with the puck. They’re incredibly sloppy tonight.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

That’s a good take. If I was a gambler I would use that.

 

[bobbop]

You think The PA guy is loud on TV? Try sitting in the arena.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I don't know why Hajek is playing of Lundkvist. Lundkvist was playing really well and his pairing with Jones was fine. Is it the size?

 

[duhmetreE]

I despise our bottom6 right now

 

[LORDE]

I wish Laf wasn't wearing a suit in the press box tonight. Maybe he could've built off the past few games

 

[will1066]

I can't believe people are actually claiming Stone's goal shouldn't count, if it were a Ranger and it didn't count you guys would lose your shit.

Some of us can be objective and not be the homers you hope we are. Anyone could tell Stone knew what he was doing.

 

[Leetch94]

You think The PA guy is loud on TV? Try sitting in the arena.

No kidding

 

[Kovalev27]

Getting nothing from Chytil Gauthier

Hunt should be on the 4th line at best. Never above it.

Hajek is a mess

Jones had a great first period then like everyone else struggled in the second

Fox has been awful

kakko terrible

 

[ThirdEye]

I don't know why Hajek is playing of Lundkvist. Lundkvist was playing really well and his pairing with Jones was fine. Is it the size?

I'm baffled too. They took him out right when he was finally getting into a groove. There has to be something else at play (like he's still recovering from covid)

 

[DanielBrassard]

I despise our bottom6 right now

For all the machinations during the offseason to improve the bottom-6 it is worse than ever. yeah, Blais is out and Panarin is out which forces Goodrow up, but it wasn't working before Panarin went down either.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I don't miss that or that obnoxious music at all.

Again, Jones failing to get the puck deep doesn't change the shitty play from Hajek that ended with the goal going in the net. I'm not hating on Hajek because it's the popular thing to do. I'm not giving Jones a pass because he's new. I'm calling Hajek out for a pathetic attempt to stop a goal. Enjoy.

That's fine, except why give Jones a pass because he's new. That's a shitty play he made. Full stop.
