GDT: #8 - 01/30/21 | penguins @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Baby Duck Homme]

It’s like Allaire is on vacation or has been quietly furloughed.

 

[Rempe73]

But what do the fancy stats say?

Fancy stats are way more telling than +/- but ok.

 

[NYR]

I was told face offs were meaningless by somebody on here days ago. LOL. That would’ve been a good time to win one. And Howden has been given the longest leash ever. There is no way Barron isn’t better right this second than Howden.

True story

 

[CupSeeker]

Howden does his job and creates a 50/50. It's up to the 4 other guys on the ice to win the puck there. Once again we lose a puck battle and it's in our own net. DeAngelo in no mans land instead of looking around for a threat.

Nah, Howden was off balance after the draw which is a big problem for him and then a savable deflection wasn't stopped. Give me Shesty for 5 in a row.

 

[CasusBelli]

Giannone has the perfect voice for silent films. I do not understand what he’s doing on a sports broadcast.

 

[Daves a mess]

Any goalie not gonna put up Hasek numbers against us this season?

This team looks exasperated.

Tony looks like a neutered Jack Russell at the dog park.

Blackwell hurt?

LAF never stops moving his feet.

Kreider much more noticeable.

Nice grease from Brendan.

Despite looks real good. Need to take his eyes.

Faceoffs are a problem.

 

[Blueblood2]

Disagree. Yes, he needs to be better, but Penguins are coming down the middle on a red carpet with velvet ropes on both sides.

Did you not watch the same goal I did? He had it covered and opened it back up. Tipped pucks are a big part of the game now. In order to be a top goalies you have to be able to handle them.

 

[Mandar]

DeAngelo is on pace for 0 points and a -47 over 56 games

Making my life so difficult lol

I think that’s the stat line for most PP1 defenseman, no? I’ve heard he “drives” the offense. Or is it JJ’s fault....or Staal’s fault.....

let’s just blame it on bad ice....haven’t heard that one in a while....

 

[SRHRangers]

Giannone has the perfect voice for silent films. I do not understand what he’s doing on a sports broadcast.

Post of the night. I'm dead. LOL!!!!

 

[will1066]

LMAO Bill Pidto finds the best stuff for MSG 150. That's why he's the greatest. Greatester than Gretzky.

 

[Anthony5967]

They are useless if your goalie can save a low danger shot

I’m not disagreeing the latter, that’s for sure.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

That Wainwright shit was hilarious

 

[NYR94]

Adam Wainwright...nice house

 

[rdhstlr23]

In contrast, the Caps are beating the Bruins and were absolutely owned in P1.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This is a bad hockey team that’s playing like a bad hockey team....

Get outta here with that, we mostly dominated that period.

 

[CasusBelli]

Post of the night. I'm dead. LOL!!!!

His speaking tone is Adam Levine’s falsetto.

 

[Machinehead]

I was told face offs were meaningless by somebody on here days ago. LOL. That would’ve been a good time to win one. And Howden has been given the longest leash ever. There is no way Barron isn’t better right this second than Howden.

I don't think they're "meaningless" per se but nobody is going to talk about the 50-70 faceoffs tonight that don't lead to a goal.

Let's say you win 60% of your faceoffs which would make you the best team in the league. You'll still lose up to 25 of them every night, any one of which could lead directly to a goal.

So again, not meaningless, but certainly doesn't tell you anything meaningful.

 

[Sayba]

DeAngelo is on pace for 0 points and a -47 over 56 games

Making my life so difficult lol

And Mika is on pace for 16 points and until last game Lafreniere 0.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

That second goal was horrible. I don’t care if it’s a deflection, he was there before the puck and if he just stays right it’s an easy save. Your goalie needs to stop goals like that that if you want to be any good.

 

[Cmox]

LMAO Bill Pidto finds the best stuff for MSG 150. That's why he's the greatest. Greatester than Gretzky.

The Goodest one?

 

[Leonardo87]

I feel the Rangers should be up now going into the 2nd, but that’s hockey for you. Mika and Stome missed two glorious chances.

 

[Rempe73]

I think that’s the stat line for most PP1 defenseman, no? I’ve heard he “drives” the offense. Or is it JJ’s fault....or Staal’s fault.....

let’s just blame it on bad ice....haven’t heard that one in a while....

Time. Give it time. If it doesn’t get better, I’ll be right there with you. But he’s playing well imo.

[Shesterkybomb]

How is that tony’s Fault? I get you don’t like him but Christ

He skates out in front of the goalie...i dont dislike tony, dont know him....hate his defense.

 

[Mandar]

Time. Give it time. If it doesn’t get better, I’ll be right there with you. But he’s playing well imo.

Sure... how much time for his first point? 10 games good?
