GDT: #5 - 10/18/19 | RANGERS @ capitals | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

How are Andersson's linemates a goon and a defenseman...

the sad thing is that Smith is probably like our 5th best forward right now

 

[Kakko]

They're just straight up not playing defense today. Great bounce back from yesterday

 

[Fitzy]

Side note- DeAngelo still can't play defense

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I get frustrated because you can't allow yourself to over rotate so much and get everyone trapped on one side of the ice

It’s infuriating to watch. This is pee wee hockey stuff.

 

[ijuka]

He probably shouldn’t be playing back to backs at this point

Why is he playing in the first place?

 

[NYR]

Not sure what you mean ...

Kreider is a vet.
What can you possibly gain by taking him away from his normal position?
Makes zero sense to me

 

[LeetchisGod]

This is a poorly coached team.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

My god what an ugly team we have

 

[bouds]

Haven’t defended at all this season, just garbage.

 

[Fataldogg]

Panarin also needs to step up. $11.6M, you need to bring it every night when you are making Matthew's, Tavares, McDavid money.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Why is he playing in the first place?

veteran presence

who cares if he’s a beer league level defender at this point? he’s played a lot of nhl games!

 

[Machinehead]

They're just straight up not playing defense today. Great bounce back from yesterday

Today?

 

[nevesis]

Pull Lundqvist. Game is about to get out of hand in my opinion.

There is no defense in front of the net. It's almost as if there is no defensive system being coached.

Its beyond how the brass thought Lindy Ruff was a viable defensive coach after what we’ve seen over the past couple seasons.

 

[Tob]

"Haley and Wilson having some words off the faceoff"

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Why is he playing in the first place?

I mean, he shouldn’t be, but he has a NMC and apparently he’s the ‘leader’ of the defense

 

[Fataldogg]

Rangers cant clear any rebounds from in front. Need to step it up defensively.

 

[Heckler81]

Panarin also needs to step up. $11.6M, you need to bring it every night when you are making Matthew's, Tavares, McDavid money.

I disagree with you. I see him setting up his teammates all the time so far this season and the other players can’t finish.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

wow is Howden awful

 

[bl02]

Howden needs to work on his passing in hartford not here

 

[Tob]

Atrocious decision to buyout Girardi instead of Staal.

 

[offdacrossbar]

This is setting up for a hank meltdown/tantrum game

we are getting dismantled in the 2nd

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

literally every play Howden has made has been awful

just pitiful

 

[JimmyG89]

Howden is one of those has the tools and no toolbox player.

Pray he builds a box for those tools

 

[Kords]

I can count on one hand the amount of times I have witnessed someone put the puck on Kakko's tape.

 

[bl02]

Move Kakko to the 4th line so at least he can play with Lias since Lias will never be moved up
