GDT: #5 - 10/13/17 | RANGERS @ blue jackets | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[NYR]

This coach needs to be fired.

So does the GM

 

[Abooch68]

It’s like night and day with this team. One period they look great and the next it’s a complete 180.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

gunna fight right out of the box yay

 

[bl02]

Let's blame that on Staal.

Shattenkirk is a nightmare defensively. So, so bad.

I don't care what anyone says he's a very good 3/4 dman. no way he can play first pairing d minutes night in night out.
Offensively he is wonderful but he's not a top pairing dman

 

[Holocene]

Lol you were going in too Foligno f*** off.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Shattenkirk has never been good defensively. That was Mickey Mouse crap right there. Rangers dmen rarely back in and are usually stepping up active sticks. Torts drilled that in them.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Firing coach after coach after coach after coach hasn't worked for this team. The Garden is known for its ceiling instead of for its banners for a reason.

At a certain point, leaders on the ice have to lead.

 

[I Eat Crow]

So does the GM

Nope, sorry, this team's issue is coaching.

This coach hasn't gotten this team ready to play any game yet this season. It's Game 5. The Rangers have started like shit all 5 games. That's a coaching problem.

 

[LORDE]

Still not time to panic yet IMO (not the game... the season)

 

[Machinehead]

lol this is men vs boys

 

[NYR]

Torts adjusted. AV didn't..Wash, rinse repeat..

 

[howztheglass]

This coach needs to be fired.

Don’t worry AV will change the lines soon.

 

[Lays]

That's f***ing bullshit, Rangers should be on the PP. Foligno was the one who sent Smith flying and Smith just taps him back when he's on the ground and Foligno starts beating him and Smith gets a penalty too? He's supposed to just take the punches?

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Laughing at how pathetic this team is. Head to toe.

Love that I have to go to a bar to watch them now. I'll drink less, glass half full.

 

[Machinehead]

Even under Torts we never got outshot this bad.

AV's system gets more and more passive as the years pass.

 

[JT Kreider]

Nothing is going to change until we get our franchise center at the top.

 

[BBKers]

Why no CBJ faceoff penalty?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Shattenkirk has never been good defensively. That was Mickey Mouse crap right there. Rangers dmen rarely back in and are usually stepping up active sticks. Torts drilled that in them.

We dont have torts anymore and shatt never played under torts...

All our best two way guys played under torts.. If there was anything he taught it was defense and effort

 

[NYR]

Nope, sorry, this team's issue is coaching.

This coach hasn't gotten this team ready to play any game yet this season. It's Game 5. The Rangers have started like **** all 5 games. That's a coaching problem.

I agree with coaching but disagree with the GM.
He put this roster together and allows AV free reign.
It's a joke from the top down IMO..

His prized signing is giving up goals on the 3rd pair and still has no points.

This team will get crushed in the playoffs but I doubt they even make it to the show.

This team is my passion and I apologize if I'm coming off like a dick but I'm not happy with the way things have gone down..

 

[DanielBrassard]

As long as the Rangers win the lottery it's a good season

 

[bl02]

They can't even cohesively enter the zone right now

 

[howztheglass]

Anyone think Lindy Ruff is stand there thinking to himself WTF AV.

 

[Machinehead]

They can't even cohesively enter the zone right now

They never could. AV doesn't coach zone entries.

That falls under the neutral zone which he's convinced doesn't exist.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Torts adjusted. AV didn't..Wash, rinse repeat..

Replace Torts with every teams coach and get ready to post this every game

 

[NewLife]

Why did I wake up to this massacre? I mean slept through the entire 2nd like a baby champ. Now I'm just stressed the f***ed out.
