GDT: #65 - 3/1/20 | flyers @ RANGERS | 12:00 - NBC

[Kakko Schmakko]

He clearly isn't what he was. But we don't need to call him a bum.

He never was a king either, should have never crowned him that. You would have expected him to come out and try to prove everybody wrong and play lights out, but he just looks brutal.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Is strome a cousin/relative of yours? Must be.

No, I just actually understand the game. Who the f*** even are you? Literally never seen you before. Probably because you don't understand hockey.

 

[Leonardo87]

I’m not worried even if they lose this game. Carolina, Columbus, and the Islanders are struggling now. Just gotta play over .500 hockey and they should be able to get into a playoff spot.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Eh he really hasn’t. Snowblind had this game bottled up for a month, but Hank doesn’t look good at all

Two goals were rebounds on power plays banged in from the crease with bonehead defenseman not pushing them out or even covering their man and then a 2 on 1.

 

[will1066]

Don’t wanna make it too difficult on him or anything.

We're making it difficult on ourselves also. But we need to admit the other team is better and put home their chances.

 

[haohmaru]

Yeah I am not blaming Hank or anything, but he's looked like crap. Probably to be expected, though.

The whole team looks like crap and that really isn't expected in a game where they could elevate themselves to a playoff spot. They need to get their shit together and chip away at this lead.

 

[Synergy27]

Just checking in to make sure everyone is freaking out.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He never was a king either, should have never crowned him that. You would have expected him to come out and try to prove everybody wrong and play lights out, but he just looks brutal.

Regardless, calling him a "bum" is ludicrous. Get out of here with that shit.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

All of the people defending Lundqvist though. We had some looks as good or better as the Flyers and other than shank by Mika, Hart made the saves. Lundqvist didn't make one save of note in that period.

 

[Black Aces]

He never was a king either, should have never crowned him that. You would have expected him to come out and try to prove everybody wrong and play lights out, but he just looks brutal.

So he was never elite now?

 

[NYSPORTS]

only a field goal behind

 

[DutchNYR]

Lundqvist's best days as a goalie are behind him, but can we please show him a little respect? Having to see him being called a bum is more painful to watch than that entire first period.

 

[Kovalev27]

With Shesterkin I thought we could definitely do this. Losing him AND Kreider just isn’t recoverable. That’s clear to me now. The schedule is going to be full of teams just as good if not much better than the flyers.

we don’t have the goaltending and or a net front PP presence on the powerplay. Or at least Quinn won’t use Gauthier there like he should

 

[Chaels Arms]

This is a team that got accustomed to its goalies making 40+ saves a night. Henrik just isn't going to do that anymore. It doesn't mean he's bad, it just means he's not going to do what the Rangers (unfortunately) require of their goaltenders right now to be competitive.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

What we’ve learned after this period.

•Lundqvist is not even a has been, he’s a never was.

•Strome wears pink thongs.

•Trouba is the worst player in the NHL.

•We should have signed Hayes.

•Fire Quinn.

Never change, HF.

 

[mike14]

Are you guys normally this fired up at lunchtime on a Sunday? Some impressive angst on display so far

 

[Black Aces]

they realize Hayes is still a 40 pt guy right?

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Kevin Hayes is dead to me

 

[haohmaru]

He never was a king either, should have never crowned him that. You would have expected him to come out and try to prove everybody wrong and play lights out, but he just looks brutal.

Not nearly as brutal as your posts. Good god.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Let's be honest, here. Asking a third goalie who hasn't played in ages to make the saves that the two better goalies make is asking too much right now.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Regardless, calling him a "bum" is ludicrous. Get out of here with that shit.

 

[pld459666]

Flyers have the rangers number in a big way

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Sometimes I really question whether some of you guys have played hockey. First, he didn't go down easily. He was cross-checked from behind in what should've been a clear-as-day penalty. Then, in a desperation play when he realizes "Oh, shit, they didn't call that?", he tries to make a play on the puck to give his defender a chance to get in position.

Sitting there saying he was just flopping around and turning the puck over just makes me shake my head. That's a dumb take from you - an otherwise good poster.

I played high level travel, juniors and college. Thanks. I was a goalie though.

I know he was cross checked but he’s just a lazy player by nature. If that’s Panarin he probably doesn’t even go down but if he does he probably makes a better attempt to corral the puck and he 100% skates harder on the back check. Sure Strome was cross checked but you can’t look at that play and tell me he handled it great start to finish and did everything he possibly could’ve done. No way.

 

[Siddi]

He never was a king either, should have never crowned him that. You would have expected him to come out and try to prove everybody wrong and play lights out, but he just looks brutal.

You are right. In other news, Richards is not a Beaver and Bure isn't acually a rocket.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

No, I just actually understand the game. Who the f*** even are you? Literally never seen you before. Probably because you don't understand hockey.

You’re right, I don’t post often on an internet message board so I must be clueless about hockey.

meanwhile I provided concrete, actual examples of his embarrassing, weak play- while you yell “wahhh he was crosschecked”
