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

[FIRE DRURY]

They're not playing any worse than they played in wins with Georgiev and Shesty.

They’re getting completely outplayed in all 3 zones. It’s not even debatable.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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.

Expecting your goalie to do that on a nightly basis is unfair, but on a one-off game it isn't.

 

[Black Aces]

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.

There are a few bad apples. Whiney annoying bad apples.

Without our injuries I think we could have made it. Instead, I'll look at it as a team ahead of schedule that put a nice stretch together. We are heading in the right direction as an organization. Maybe some here would rather build like Florida or Buffalo.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

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.

Well that’s not entirely true. He stopped that partial breakaway when it was 1-0 and he made a nice deflection save shortly after the second goal too.

You forgot, If Kreider was dressed we would be winning

They've been completely outplayed in all 3 zones a lot and 5 on 5 it hasn't been that bad. Hell even on the PP we looked good, Hart just made the saves.

 

[Siddi]

Starting Lundqvist this game was poor judgment. Georgiev is young enough that he should have been able to play today.

They're not playing any worse than they played in wins with Georgiev and Shesty.

Georgie gave up 5 goals to this team not even 2 days ago. 3 of them was on rebounds.

Dude, you have lost the plot completely.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Flyers have the rangers number in a big way

AV haters in shambles. It’s not like they have an amazing team. AVs got them playing his system perfectly. What’s Quinn’s system? Hope your goalie can save 40 high danger chances and get carried offensively by your 2 big guns.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

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.

Dude, that's ridiculous. Again, if you haven't been cross-checked like that when you're trying to keep the puck in, then please don't sit there and say he went down easily. That's nonsensical. That is a blatant cross-check and should've been called. Period.

And those getting on him for the back check must've missed Bread. Bread had the far guy since he was far closer to him. Strome is covering the middle of the ice in case there is a rebound. Did some of you guys just miss Bread being closer to the Flyers player, there?

I get on Strome for a ton of shit, but this isn't one of them.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Personally think it's time to put Kakko with Zibs line and leave him there no matter the outcome

 

[PuckLuck3043]

If Shesty and Kreider are healthy this team makes the playoffs, no doubt in my mind. If they lose today they are still only 2 points back but somebody needs to step up in Kreiders absence. I don't know if that is going to happen.

 

[Fugazy]

Funny how the Rangers never seem to win this afternoon games on NBC.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Not nearly as brutal as your posts. Good god.

Why are you even wasting your time replying to a troll?

 

[Kords]

A cross-check that creates an odd-man rush like that is called 9 times out of 10. Does't have to be vicious. It's the fact that it creates a clear scoring chance.

More a push to an already off balance Strome. This literally never gets called, stop making me defend the Flyers guys.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

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”

Please learn how the game works. Put on a pair of skates or something.

 

[Black Aces]

AV haters in shambles

this will change when we add Byfield

 

[Tossed Medal]

Poor Hank I think we are watching the Marty Bironification of him today and that’s not necessarily his fault but yet here it is .

 

[BKGooner]

Can the Rangers leafs and canes all miss the playoffs? More lottery tickets = better

 

[Fitzy]

Feels like one of those wierd day games that we could actually come back and win.

The pp came close a couple times and you feel like they'll get more chances.

 

[haohmaru]

To get easy "likes".


Yes, that's a joke.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It's called all the time when it leads to a rush. That's the definition of a cross-check. It's a blatant two-handed cross-check to a player that creates an odd-man rush.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Can anyone tell me why the dman slid towards the player with the puck on that play...come on, its basic defending, let the goalie take the shot.

One game, out of how many that he's stolen?

 

[Cag29]

Henrik sucks , its not really his fault though.I can't remember the last he played a game , I remember when he would suck for like 2 months at the start of a season.He needs a ton of minutes to get into his groove , Shesty got injured at the worst possible moment.Still sucks getting our asses handed to us like this 2 games in a row.3-0 most dangerous lead in hockey right ?????????

Henrik does not suck. Never has. Our team is coming into a really tough part of the schedule. We are coming back down to earth a bit. I think the team has improved
And has done it earlier than we expected.
I don’t expect us to make the playoffs but as long as the effort is there I’m happy.
Kreider injury was a killer.
I’m hoping for our youth to continue their development. We have a lot to look forward to. Future is very bright!
LGR!

Florida is too inept. Toronto will unfortunately make it
