GDT: #7 - 10/25/21 | flames @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Shesterkybomb]

so far many of us have been proven wrong. Nils, Chytil, Kravy none going in the right direction. I'm still hopeful Chytil turning things around

Depends on your vision of success for him, he's always been destined as a 3rd line player for us, i think people have too high of expectations for him

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Devils aren't doing much, if any, better with Jack Hughes.

yeah they are

 

[Mike in Houston]

Well our systems may not have changed much from the previous regime but we did score more.

 

[mas0764]

Is there something wrong with the Rangers development program or did they have the incredible misfortune of drafting non-franchise players at 1 and 2.

There is something wrong with the Rangers development program. No doubt in my mind.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

who cares about the record. This team had played 3good periods all season

It's too early to declare this team a success or failure, team is revamped, new gm, new coaches, lot of overreaction going on here

 

[CLW]

Anyway I am not too shocked by this game. Calgary are hot and the Rangers have been riding their luck on the long road trip they had. Today they didn't get any breaks and it showed. But Gallant needs to start to sort the team out, the puck needs to move with much higher tempo and the players need to be in position for outlet passes and in the neutral zone - the top lines need to work the boards and forecheck and so on. Lots to fix in the upcoming months.

The offensive big guns are going to need to figure it out. You can’t come away from a game counting on one hand the amount of good shifts the top two lines had. Panarin has one good shift all night. Zibanejad seems to be making all of the wrong decisions.

Something has to give. Sammy Blais can’t be our best player every night.

4 game road winning streak and then come home to play a Canadian team before going back on the road again. That’s a trap game 100% of the time.

Best thing to do is go top heavy. Zib with Kreider and Panarin. Can't believe I'm saying this, with all the supposed offensive talent, but you're minimizing the perimeter, E-W footprint by doing that.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Im not ready to give up on Nils but it does make you wonder if they coulda got Eichel for him and Krav in the summer.

There are certain things that you should be able to do at a bare minimum at this level regardless of how green you are.

He’s an undersized offensive defenseman who can’t skate or move the puck.

 

[DanielBrassard]

this teams outlook looks much worse than it did at the end of 19-20. Part of it is Panarin not playing like an MVP but we have lost a lot of talent since then. And now we are locked into ling term contracts for guys who look like they are on the down swing.

 

[Kovalev27]

Kreider Mika Kakko
Panarin Strome Goodrow
Lafreniere Chytil Blais
Hunt Rooney Reaves/Gauthier

You're probably right. Partly is because honestly right now hoping he can hit his ceiling after our two other forwards from 2017 and 2018 first round have been disasters.

 

[Crease]

There is something wrong with the Rangers development program. No doubt in my mind.

Seems like they want every forward they draft to be a Selke nominee, regardless of skill profile.

 

[bl02]

Kreider Mika Kakko
Panarin Strome Goodrow
Lafreniere Chytil Blais
Hunt Rooney Reaves/Gauthier

Next game Laf will go back to the first line and Kreider to the side he does not prefer.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That was a f***ing EMBARRASSMENT

 

[effen]

Raphael Diaz minus the poise.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Kreider Mika Kakko
Panarin Strome Goodrow
Lafreniere Chytil Blais
Hunt Rooney Reaves/Gauthier

These should absolutely be the lines when Kakko is back.

It sure does not look like this team is on the cusp of having enough long term talent to win Cups.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Strome just had symptomatic covid and he was one of our only noticeable forwards tonight.

 

[RangerLifer]

I'm bummed.

 

[Crease]

Kreider Mika Kakko
Panarin Strome Goodrow
Lafreniere Chytil Blais
Hunt Rooney Reaves/Gauthier

I think we’ll finally get these lines on Friday when fully heathy. But it’s become clear that the lines don’t matter when Zibanejad and Panarin play drunk chel.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Zibanejad needs to get his head out his ass. Guy is a nightmare to handle when coming down the ice with a full head of steam and yet it seems like he’s allergic to it these days.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Raphael Diaz minus the poise.

Looks worse than Pionk ever did.

DeAngelo’s loss was/is massive.

This is what I feared with Strome coming back. Giveaways through the roof as soon as he's back in the lineup. Leave panarin Mika and kreider together and let the other lines play Gallant hockey.

 

[Rempe73]

Lol no dude basketball is str8 dog shit On a saltine.

You have no idea what you’re watching.

The ratings are in the turlet

I like it though. Don’t care about the ratings.

 

[TGWL]

Anyway we can get Fast back to play with Strome and Panarin? This is going to be a longer than usual season.
