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

[Crease]

This team just doesn't do defense. And it barely does offense either.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

Henrik

 

[Fitzy]

I feel like, how bad Staal has been has been overstated for several years now.

Not this year. He's done.

If you told me he was 42 instead of 32 I might believe it. He's gone from #7 level to a point where Im not sure he'd be on Hartford's top pairing.

I hope he retires after this season.

 

[Harbour Dog]

That period was a steaming pile. Lundqvist is the anti-tank.

FTFY

 

[aufheben]

That’s insane

Sorry, 33. The Rangers have 13 & 8 for context.

 

[NYR]

Chytil is a RW

Chytil is a center.
I might've screwed that up.
They did play him at "LW" for a very limited time in PS, correct?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

old people are gross.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Staal started off hot in the first period of game 1 this season. Scored a goal made some plays. Then reality set in and he’s worse than ever. He’s flailing out there.

 

[Kaapo Takko]

Not even prime Hasek would put up Vezina numbers behind this defense.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I know it won't happen, but honestly, he's so bad right now that I wouldn't be shocked if he hung them up mid-season.

 

[Anzi]

Not seeing much from Kakko tonight. Every pass to him seems to go out of his reach. He rarely seems to have the puck and when he does, its usually on a dump off that ends up bouncing to a Caps player.

Yeehaw.

Tom Brady looks more mobile than him

I laughed out loud when I read this.

I dont know why, but for some reason found this comment very amusing.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Wrestling has relegated the ALCS from FOX to FS1.

 

[Kakko]

Well, they don't look good. But at least they're trying, which is more than last night

 

[Machinehead]

They definitely did with Zuccarello that one time.

Yup, not a strong game from him. Luckily he can turn things around quite quickly. Here's to hoping.

 

[Machinehead]

Wrestling has relegated the ALCS from FOX to FS1.

And it's not even good wrestling.

Yup. It’s like nothing is bouncing his way. I feel like not just his line but every line the team has is really struggling to find open ice, crisp passes, room to maneuver. The first line not so much, but even for them, it’s like, the ease at which they passed it around during the preseason is completely gone.

No one has any chemistry and there seems to be no energy and jump to the team.

 

[Anzi]

The Buchnevich-Howden-Kakko line currently has an EV adjusted expected goal % of 5.24% and Corsi % of 13.64%. Awful might be an understatement.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Knicks losing to Zionless Pelicans.

[Tob]

I'd rather have Bill Pidto who at least knows what he's talking about.
