GDT: #36 - 12/23/17 | maple leafs @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[Cassano]

Rick Nash is just a big Jesper Fast at this point in his career. Pls don’t pay him top 6 money

He's been pretty bad and overpaid for years. Thankfully the contract is done after this year.

 

[DanielBrassard]

When was the last time this team played a competitive game where they deserved a win? I can't remember. It was so long ago.

May 29th, 2014.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Well it took until December for our PP to become an abortion that actively loses ya games.

I guess based on past history that’s longer than I should’ve expected.


At least DD and Vesey we’re getting 5 on 3 time. Now that’s smart coaching.

Honestly I feel like AV has some disease that gets worse and worse. Just when you think he can't top himself he does.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

When was the last time this team played a competitive game where they deserved a win? I can't remember. It was so long ago. At least Hank can feel nostalgic. That's always a positive.

You think Hank is getting old? This team can never get good, that's the actual problem at hand.

Think harder.

Anaheim.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

He's been pretty bad and overpaid for years. Thankfully the contract is done after this year.

Anything over $3.5 would be criminal

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Definitely, aside from also the depth and the defense.

Bro. I don't know about "excepted results".

In reality , even after a terrible RangersTown™ start, the Laughs are 1 point ahead of us, scored 4 more goals, and play in a weaker division.

 

[Harbour Dog]

At first I thought I was crying, but then I realized that it was just my eyes bleeding. #RangersAreLife

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

John Muckler as Rangers head coach - 70-82-15
Tom Renney as Rangers head coach - 164-121-32

The only thing Muckler did in the NHL was that.


HIRE RENNEY!

Personnel is slightly below average, yet every game fans seem shocked the Rangers are not playing better. Throw in that everyone hates the coaches and it becomes an even weirder expectation.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That picture with Clayton Keller and Ovie, makes me feel old as f***.

Not everyone agrees that the personnel is below average.

I don't, that's for sure.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I’d like to see DeAngelo this year. As in before new years

 

[Chimpradamus]

Think harder.

Anaheim.

Which game against Anaheim? You surely can't mean the game where they allowed 45 shots against, a ton of quality scoring chances and Hank stood on his head the entire game, while the offense opportunistically hit crazy shots to save the night? You mean when we played Anaheim last year or something? You need to be more specific.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If they are slightly below average they should play 45 or so games where they get outplayed. Not 9 out of every 10.

 

[bl02]

Type of game you miss a fast. He seems like the only one on This team that can get into puck battles along the board and not lose them in 0.00003 seconds .
We can't rely on zucc to do all the dirty work

 

[member 116805]

PP lacks movement.

Why does every Rangers PP suffer from this? Every year. No matter who the players are.

It’s eventually a waste of two minutes, just perimeter passing, no movement and then settling for a poor shot. It’s horrible.

Bingo

The problem is the FO seems content with mediocrity

It was 40 shots, not 45, no need to exaggerate. And we had way more good chances against them. That was relatively speaking a good game.

 

[Idlerlee]

This team has played great hockey since the horrible season opener. Can you calm it with the relentless doom and gloom?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Not everyone agrees that the personnel is below average.

I don't, that's for sure.

Vesey, Carey, Desharnais, Nash, Smith, Staal, Holden. We have alot of deadweight. Grabner is useless outside of the rush, Miller is just not good, KZB is a good line but not dominant. Shattenkirk and Skjei are not playing well, McDonagh doesn't look like himself. I think we need more talent.

I thought they were making a shit load of money?

 

[RangerBlues]

Groundhog Day

I don't, that's for sure.

The D is weak and there is no legit 1st line talent. Lots of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th liners.

 

[Fvital92]

Why can we never score first? Why our PP sucks so much?
So many questions for a lot of poor hockey.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

HIRE RENNEY!

As a head coach?

He had one 40 win season.
