GDT: #6 - 01/26/21 | RANGERS @ sabres | 7:00 - MSG 2

[DialUp]

I unloaded my French Laf Young Guns at the PEAK a few months ago. Made up for passing on GME.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

good shot by Strome

 

[Tob]

Trouba has the worst hand eye i've seen in a player. Seems like he always misses his swing to settle the puck down and is absolutely surprised by it like his stick phased through the puck or something

 

[SRHRangers]

Krieder with Kakko.... Interesting

 

[TheBloodyNine]

As gung ho as I am to fire Quinn, firing quinn isn't going to fix the center problem.

No but it might fix the player development problem.

 

[effen]

He’s an excellent coach — as a teacher and as a tactician. He’s been accused of being dispassionate, and this inadequate for contenders, but I think that’s an unfortunate stigma that formed during his years with the Senators.

Dispassionate defensive hockey would at least be not getting f***ing dumpstered by the Sabres.

 

[duhmetreE]

lets change EVERYONE but Strome.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Miller is a monster...he just came all the way over to Troubas side to break up a rush in the neutral zone and Trouba was back..haha.

I need a replay of that

 

[Harbour Dog]

The line Miller took to Rieder there looked terrible, but he is a monster who can take whatever lines he wants.

 

[duhmetreE]

Jack Johnson almost got Howden killed

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Woah, sick shot Kreider. Probably had a whole .001% of going in.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Well we've generated more chances so far in this period already so thats good.

 

[bleedblue94]

Jj pass right into howdens feet again. Christ, make a pass...

 

[The New Russian Five]

I think that was the first time I have seen Trouba make a successful rush AND make a good pass off the rush.

 

[Fataldogg]

Sometimes there is a weaker draft-class, and there's nothing you can do about it. But Kakko was literaly breaking records in Finland. Won U18, U20 and mens World championships before getting drafted. Lafreniere was talked about being one of the best wingers in years, maybe one of the better Canadian players since McDavid.

Strangely, both have strugled the same way in NY and the NHL.

I didnt think either were referred to as weak draft years. Many people highly touted Lafreniere as a solid #1 overall pick.

Yet, he doesn't have the impact of a Matthews, McDavid [obviously], Eichel [#2], MacKinnon, etc.

Doesn't even look as impactful as Nugent Hopkins or Taylor Hall in their rookie seasons.

I was definitely hoping for more.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Also good Kreider got moved down I’m tired of seeing him

 

[DanielBrassard]

Maybe our next lottery pick will actually be a good skater.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Kreider at the end of the bench. Johnson still plays ugh how about going with 5 defenseman. They would be better off

 

[CasusBelli]

Dispassionate defensive hockey would at least be not getting f***ing dumpstered by the Sabres.

Preaching to the converted mate. I’ve been a longtime admirer of Martin’s. I can’t think of a coach who has developed as many star skaters as he has — in all positions.

 

[NYR Viper]

The line Miller took to Rieder there looked terrible, but he is a monster who can take whatever lines he wants.

this is pretty funny and yet totally true

 

[duhmetreE]

Im amazed this is the same kid I’ve watched for 3 years. Looks like a completely different player

Same exact thing happened to Kakko...

 

[BroadwayStorm]

It seems to me like both Kakko and Laf in previous levels usually drive the play of their lines. They skate the puck into the offensive zone and carry the offense. They dont need centers. Or didnt. They dont do this on the Rangers.

 

[egelband]

I was happy to give Jack Johnson some time to sort out his game. But he’s really grating on me. Passes are terrible and he doesn’t seem disciplined defensively.

 

[NYR Viper]

Maybe our next lottery pick will actually be a good skater.

Lol this is the same team that drafted Kreider, Skjei and Miller. All superb skaters

 

[bleedblue94]

Do we have an actual breakout at this point or is it just curl, abandon the d, go, and dump/chip?
