GDT: #6 - 10/20/19 | canucks @ RANGERS | 1:00 - MSG

[Kovalev27]

I’m worrying less about the players we have and more And more about the coaching staff everyday

Quinn charming AF but his systems looks like a joke

 

[JT Kreider]

This is crazy to say because I think Benning is the worst GM in the league... but we need to follow Vancouver's blueprint. They check off all the boxes: a franchise center supplanted by an elite two way 2c behind him, a 40 goal scorer on the wing and a franchise #1D in the making.

We are 1-4, with of course that 1 being the least important of the other 3.

 

[NYR]

Yield for Byfield!

How soon after we get Byfield do we start turning into Edmonton? Lol

 

[CasusBelli]

The guy behind the bench is utterly clueless.

EHM attributes confirm this.

 

[I Eat Crow]

This team is just so fundamentally poor in so many areas. And it's the same **** it has been. Passing is a second slow, passive in all areas defensively, weak just inside their blue line with a chance to hold onto the puck and exit the zone they either throw the puck away or cough it up for a turnover. They absolutely suck along the walls in all three zones, suck in winning pucks back, suck at puck retrieval. What the **** are they coaching exactly

Even more alarming is that Gorton brought in a NCAA coach that on paper should be working on shoring up those fundamentals instead of them being a glaring weakness still.

There's no identity or game plan. Quinn is preaching dump and chase to skilled guys like Kravtsov, Chytil, Kakko, Panarin, and Zibanejad. f*** out of here with that.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

How does a team spend 20 million in the offseason and get worse?

We have couple of serious black holes in the line-up. No matter what you throw at that, we can not get better until those guys are gone. Just like real physics, these black holes fuse together, to create an even bigger and suckier black hole.

2 years.

edit: riiight Vali; he's a smoker

I know Smith coughed up the puck for the second goal, but he at least coughed it up with speed. Watching Staal make a play in his slow motion is like slow death. It's easy pickings.

 

[offdacrossbar]

I wish i could hear what quinn was saying right now

He seems like hes lost between being a college coach on a power trip and a dad coaching his kids mite team

Hank must be bummed

guy faces a shitload of quality chances but also gives up some saucy rebounds too tho

Is Quinn a psycho? ??

Fast, Smith, Strome on PP2 is kind of psycho

 

[Omark]

Lundqvist Staal Smith contracts end after 20/21 season. 21-22 season is also Kakko’s last ELC season. That season is our chance. Only 2 years of waiting.

 

[Number 9]

At this point why not bring up keane and lindgren sit deangelo Hajek or whoever at this point on defense. Maybe some basic defensive coverage could open up plays for our front lines. Why can’t it be tried?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm expecting new lines and d pairs to start this period

A good coach can do wonders with scrap parts. It'll be the same cap hell for everyone.

Bennings transactions have gotten much better since Linden left as the president. But yes. Its a good model.

 

[Kovalev27]

Quinn wants Boston MAss dump and muckers gorton drafted and traded for skill guys.

their D system doesn’t work at all.

this isn’t going to work imo

 

[bl02]

I know maybe its impatient but its frustrating to see guys like Suzuki and Mittelstadt scoring and our guys like Lias/Kakko not (not saying its their fault cause its not).

 

[Chaels Arms]

I have never seen a team give up more wide open quality shots than this team is doing right now.

 

[Tob]

2-29-0 in December.

"Now, we don't want to panic, we've discussed moving Kakko up from the 4th line and swap in Lias for Michael Haley but we're going to stay put for now and continue to teach."

The holy land is much much further away than those two years.

The rebuild ends in two years.

Then the "build" JD talked about starts.

How much the schedule plays into this, idc. This humbling is good.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

We give out chances like Oprah gives out houses.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I wonder if we started a GoFundMe and raised Staal $5,700,001, would he retire after this season.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Holy shit the faceoffs...

 

[Kovalev27]

Imagine thinking 2019 Marc Staal and Adam Fox is a first D pairing

 

[Raspewtin]

Skjei f***ing sucks so bad OMG

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I think Stedman runs the power play.
