GDT: #44 - 01/06/14 | Columbus Blue Jackets @ New York Rangers | 7:00 PM - MSG

[The Gloaming]

Could someone say something more original or insightful than "OMG HANK STOP THAT PUCK". I mean, it's not like we're giving up odd man rushes every other play and leaving a player with a wicked shot wide open.

Oh, wait.

This is the best post in the GDT.

Too bad it will be lost in the "OMGGGG Henrik cashqvist suuuuucxxkkksss!!'" rable

 

[Machinehead]

No skill Callahan

 

[nevesis]

I respect that you are a bigtime hank fan as am i BUT you gotta admit he has been pretty bad this year?

You give prime, grade-a chances to NHL forwards, and they are going to bury them, on ANY NHL goalie. Watch NHL tonight every night around the league. Goals are scored in the same fashion every. single. night.

Hank already made a few huge saves this game, but its the continual defensive breakdowns on the previous two goals, and you're going to be down. It doesn't matter who you are.

What it be nice if he could save the breakaway, or the guy with a prime chance from 5 feet away? Of course. It's not like he's not trying, but those grade a chances are going to get buried. It's a fact. Every hockey player, and goalie knows this.

I'm kind of excited to see what a rebuild would do for us. We have some pretty good pieces as is.

 

[Zamboner]

Well, at least Artie is still invisible, and Erixon isn't even on the ice.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

This team only knows how to shoot wide and into Bob. ****ing no talent hacks. But they can sure get your hopes up.

The team needs a shooting specialist to work with them during practice, if they don't already. Not one person on this team can hit corners with any consistency at all.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

hank has been bad this year, period.

Okay. Don't see how that means that he should be stopping 5+ odd man rushes a period.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

WTF happened to the first period team?

It left with Kreider.

 

[Callagraves]

I don't think that was a bad goal. Wiz was left wide open. Shot was labeled.

You take that level headed analysis and objectivism, and you get the hell out.

We have no place for it here.

 

[trilobyte]

This game is zooming by kind of fast

 

[Lone Ranger]

We're going to be regretting Lundqvist's contract extension for a long time.

 

[BB58]

We're going to be regretting Lundqvist's contract extension for a long time.

It was inevitable.

 

[Riverdale]

Do we really have 30 shots on goal?

This team has no finish. Frightening.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I have to ask, did I miss something? I love bashing Hank as much as the next guy but did that goal go under his arm or something? If it was under the bar why is it such a terrible goal?

 

[Callagraves]

god damn it richie

Then
Why
Cant
We
Score.

 

[KingP]

take away that C

Callahan is ****ing useless

 

[haveandare]

"James what did you guy do better in the second period?"

"Well, Kreider wasn't out there making us look like fools, so that really helped."

Best post in the thread. I am glad you understand the game of hockey. Kudos.

If this is the case then what is the point of having a goalie with a $8.5 million cap hit?

 

[stenis22]

Pull him.. I'm sick of seeing him in net..

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Bobrovsky stopped a breakaway. It is humanly possible.

Doesn't matter, he's paid to bail the team out every now and then.

Night after night he's being outplayed by the opposing goaltender. That's unacceptable

 

[The Gloaming]

Hey MSG...

No one gives two ****s about what James wizniewski has to say.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

As bad as Hank has been, you can't keep giving up chances like this.

But I thought the whole plan was to open the system to score more goals and sacrifice defense because we had the best goalie in the world to back us up?
