GDT: #49 - 01/25/16 | buffalo sabres @ NEW YORK RANGERS | 7:30 - NBCSN

[Florida Ranger]

Did Klein's controller turn off before Buffalo's third goal? What a horrid pinch.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Most teams protect the net so well. Why do we leave the front of the net open so often? This man to man system has been a mess for months.

 

[nevesis]

I love hearing the HENRIK chants. He needs the fans support. He feeds off them for sure

He needs some defense first.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Kreider is standing around way too often. It's frustrating. Stop looking and move your ****ing feet.

Story of his season. All he does is glide and look around. It's a rare occurrence to see him hustle and use his speed.

What a joke his season has been. He's his biggest problem. He's getting every opportunity.

 

[Raspewtin]

This 4th line is literally the worst line I ever seen assembled. Holy ****.

Not only do they have no skill at all, but two of them are headless chickens in the offensive and defensive zone. Paille has covered no one in like half his ice time.

 

[Calad]

Girardi -10, Staal -10, Glass -10, Klein -9.

Keep riding those horses AV.

What's the rest of our D look like for comparison?

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Stepan handles the puck like a hand grenade.

 

[nevesis]

Zucc!!!

 

[nyrleetch]

That was beautiful.

 

[rangerrat]

And that's why Staal is just as bad as Girardi. At least G is a tiny bit better than Staal is defensively.

My point earlier to purple,

 

[Raspewtin]

Finally the PP gets one.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Holy **** Stepan did something on the powerplay

 

[The Gloaming]

Yay, I guess?

 

[Machinehead]

It's raining goals! Hallelujah it's raining goals!

 

[MysticLeviathan]

M0TS M8!

good goal there

 

[bl02]

Well at least fans at garden getting their money's worth

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Stepan handles the puck like a hand grenade.

PP poison.

Nice pass there though.

4 Points for brass tonight. Who ever was *****ing about him earlier just got served a nice hot cup of ****.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Now that was a nice PP!!!!

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Zucc! What a play

 

[nevesis]

Incoming two goals against in 30 seconds.

 

[silverfish]

gif of that Zucc face please

 

[Machinehead]

What's the rest of our D look like for comparison?

McIlrath +10, Yandle +10.

I'm sure they'll be broken up soon.

 

[Ail]

Offense sucks, team can't score.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Really, now. Has anyone noticed any type of difference without Nash on here? Same inconsistent play. Same high end output potential.

 

[Richter Scale]

Well, I have a problem with it. He's the best passer on the team and he's getting half his starts when the puck is already up the ice in the offensive zone.

And as I always respond to this line of thinking: People act like the Rangers magically should have the puck at all times in all games. But that isn't how the game is played. And while, yes, when he gets the puck he may have a better break-out pass... he has to get the puck first. And if the other team has it, he is not particularly good at defensive positioning, reading plays, shot blocking, or separating his man from the puck.
