GDT: #41 - 1/21/22 | RANGERS @ nyr south | 7:00 - MSG

[Jaromir Jagr]

I'm not really a "change the lines" kind a guy but I'd be pulling out the Tom Renney Line Generator after that atrocity.

Or maybe they shouldn't have been changed in the first place.

 

[bleedblue94]

He’s done next to nothing to force them to play him more

I agree. It's becoming a paradox with him. He plays poor at least the coaches don't give him ice time so then he doesn't have ice time to play himself out of playing poorly. At this point it's on him to do more with what he actually has to force them to play him

 

[rangers1314]

Again the only line that seemed to play with any purpose or plan is the 4th

 

[Boris Zubov]

13 minutes without a shot, no meaningful scoring chances, two goals against. I mean … wow.

The canes had more goals than the rangers had shots on goal in the last 13 minuted

Agreed. My point was the team needs to play better.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I know he's been scoring still but I can't remember the last game I thought Panarin looked good in.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm convinced that team is still better than this one.

Idk, I literally didn't watch like the last 30 games in 15-16. At least this team is fun sometimes.

That year was peak f***ing Girardi being a beer league player, McDonagh being crippled and mentally checked out, and the two of them being on the ice f***ing together 25 minutes a night.

What a time to be alive.

I like how we can debate which of our teams was most embarrassing on this board. What a franchise.

 

[Row I Goon]

Reavo with some truth bombs in that interview - hoping we can see a 2nd period turnaround like we did v Leafs

 

[Crease]

He’s done next to nothing to force them to play him more

There are three types of people:

1. People who think Kakko and Laf need top linemates.

2. People who realize Kakko and Laf have had top linemates, but think they just need more time there.

3. People who are tired of the excuses.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Agreed. My point was the team needs to play better.

this has been true for awhile.

 

[NYR94]

lol Marchand

 

[CasusBelli]

There's no doubt in my mind Laffy would be tearing it up on Carolina

Give him another season before he’s officially a top-nine player for me. Right now he’s got top six potential — but it (along with his trade value) is eroding quickly for me.

 

[Kovalev27]

I know he's been scoring still but I can't remember the last game I thought Panarin looked good in.

agreed

 

[NYRangers0723]

Ok guys let’s take a deep breath. Rangers have shown they will fight back when things aren’t going their way. Still plenty of hockey left

 

[Machinehead]

Basically, this is the 15-16 team except Nemeth isn't on the top pair playing like 22 minutes at even strength.

That's the only difference.

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers never had the puck and they still outhit us too lmao

 

[DanielBrassard]

I know he's been scoring still but I can't remember the last game I thought Panarin looked good in.

He hasn't looked good almost the entire season. It's like a different guy compared to his first season here. He used to be a puck carrying magician, now he either defers or dumps it in so often. Skating and stamina looks diminished too.

 

[ajdj10]

Need a market for under 10 shots for the whole game.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Give him another season before he’s officially a top-nine player for me. Right now he’s got top six potential — but it (along with his trade value) is eroding quickly for me.

Right now he's got top 6 AHL potential.

 

[mas0764]

I know he's been scoring still but I can't remember the last game I thought Panarin looked good in.

The entire team is garbage at 5 on 5.

I feel like I’m watching something completely different than the people who say we should just add some rentals and go for a Cup.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

The only difference Eye Gor could of made thus far is with his puck moving ability.

 

[Cmox]

lol Marchand

So what do you do at that point? Talk to the security in hopes of getting your phone back?

 

[Synergy27]

I wish I had something to do right now. That was humbling. The Rangers are so far from being a contender it's not funny. They'd lose like the Islanders lost to us in 94 if they played this team in the playoffs.

It’s funny because I made a reference to that series in a post earlier today, trying to say that a beatdown like that would be unlikely in the modern playoffs given the parity in the league. But man, that period has me thinking differently.

They need to show us something during the rest of this game.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Same 5-10 posters posting the same shallow negative comments every other minute turning this place into a depressing echo chamber every night

 

[mrmovies779]

We can't possibly play worse,so we have that to look forward to.unless we somehow go the entire 2nd period with 1 shot...

 

[chosen]

That period was as good as I have seen from any team this season.

If they don't get hurt, tough to see them losing to anyone.
