GDT: #40 - 1/19/22 | leafs @ RANGERS | 7:30 - TNT

[Richard Banger]

A weak backhand should be controlled better than that if you even want to be considered Vezina caliber

Even Hank had bad games. Was he not Vezina caliber?

 

[LeetchisGod]

We shouldn't be trading our first round pick this year.

 

[Do you want ants]

I'm not reveling in them. Just pointing out what I've been saying about this team all season - they are not good enough and this team is not ready to go all in.

Be mad at the team, not me - they are the ones proving me right.

Bullshit. You revel in it. The funny thing is, if we wait for the kids to be ready to go for it, we may never be ready.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Gotta get Chytil off that line, Nemeth needs to go, replace Gauthier with someone who creates offense.

 

[rangers1314]

I don't blame Igor here.

Nor do I, but if they are going to mail it in defensively I’m not hanging him out to dry

 

[Mandar]

This is the biggest head scratcher for me. How can you be a 2nd overall and be this bad in the NHL.

Kinda like Nolan Patrick

The puck was going slightly left. Shesterkin had his stick down. That puck isn't dying there.

 

[rangers1314]

Kinda like Nolan Patrick

Patrick has been destroyed by injuries

 

[Richard Banger]

Ask the guy who's a 1st overall and even worse in the NHL.

True. I just don’t understand. Every other team that’s gets 1&2 those players are contributors right of the bat. Why not ours?

 

[zukeisgone]

Is it a guaranteed loss on first home game after a road trip?

yes gambling 101..bet against home team after road trip

 

[LeetchisGod]

True. I just don’t understand. Every other team that’s gets 1&2 those players are contributors right of the bat. Why not ours?

Hockey is different here.

 

[BBKers]

Rough period. No structure to the Rangers game. They came out punch drunk dazed. Bad bounces and luck in net. Poor coverage. 4th line only one visible which is not sustainable. Leafs really hot. Regroup.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Bullshit. You revel in it. The funny thing is, if we wait for the kids to be ready to go for it, we may never be ready.

They we will never be ready because this team you just saw on the ice ain't ready for anything but a first round exit.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The pessimists so far tonight

What is there optimistic about?

 

[Richard Banger]

We’re

We shouldn't be trading our first round pick this year.

we are amongst the top teams in the league. It’s one bad period. How about we focus on finding out what the f*** is going on with our top picks?

 

[will1066]

The first goal, Schneider was on for the faceoff, I swear. But it was Lindgren who ended up on the right side and the Leafs took advantage of Lindgren being a lefty. A righty throws that puck to the wall.

 

[effen]

Slowly turning on Gallant.

Some major issues

This is the same team as last year with a few personnel differences. The "improvements" are generally postitive variance, a lack of significant injuries, and physical maturation of kiddos. They play the same.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Nor do I, but if they are going to mail it in defensively I’m not hanging him out to dry

Fair enough. I just wouldn't want this to look like they are blaming Igor for where they are right now because it's absolutely not his fault.

 

[Machinehead]

True. I just don’t understand. Every other team that’s gets 1&2 those players are contributors right of the bat. Why not ours?

Because this franchise is fundamentally broken and has no interest in fixing it.

They did a whole ass rebuild to fall back into shit forwards, dumb defensemen, and 40 saves. And they're satisfied with it like they've always been.

I don't care what hand you are the puck goes up the wall there, he had time and tried to be cute. Love Lindgren but that had nothing to do with which way he shoots

 

[LeprechauninBlue]

Ofc, but Igor tend to have some questionable rebounds. That was a bad one.

Jed Ortmeyer, player development.

 

[Richard Banger]

Hockey is different here.

I’m sorry but this is just a shit post. I want an actually answer. Were they Not regarded as 1st and 2nd OA? people want to rebuild but when the players you rebuild for turn out like this is the rebuild worth it? I think not.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

OMG they are down by 2 goals after the first period. All is lost.

Sather is the issue and has been for a while. Gorton was doing a good job building here and they used the Wilson incident to get rid of him. Tell me this team isnt better with Buch and Kravtsov on it and no Nemeth and ill call you a liar.
