I thought he retired

He's a civilian now and can really tell us what he thinks.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honestly, I feel bad for the Kraken. They played with effort but have no offensive guns.

Rangers have the guns but no effort.

They're a lot more watchable than the Rangers it seems.

Imagine telling someone in April of 2019 that we’d be getting Kakko and then Lafreniere the year after to add to Kravtsov, Chytil, and Lias but 3 seasons later all 5 would be showing absolutely nothing

Hey Will Cuylle is showing me a lot on those Ranger prospect threads. That's something at least

Hockey is different here

Hey Mika and Panarin...you boys are getting paid a lot of money,time to start showing up and producing

 

[EdJovanovski]

Hank doesn't think it was a bad period. So bbblllppppphhhh

You guys get to watch Hank in the intermission while I’m over here watching a crooked toothed Brit

Do you have to turn in your social media accounts when you retire? Someone tell bern.

 

[Lays]

Jesus Christ. I mean there is still time but that is deflating asf

I mean it’s not wrong. All 5 have disappointed. 4 top 10 picks. One 21st overall. All disappointing. Chytil you can argue has somewhat lived up to expectations for where he was drafted and how much of an unknown he was. He’s had the best career out of all 5 and even then we shit on him every GDT. It’s frustrating at this point how none of our young forwards are doing anything

 

[Kovalev27]

We’ve had other 2nd periods like that this year let’s be honest. Toronto anyone? Was a joke

we’ll play better in the third watch.

we gotta get kakko and Goodrow flipped. Enough already

 

[Tob]

Kakko has been good in general. We have pylons for defensemen this game. We need puck movers and it's evident tonight especially with Tinordi in.

Bad teeth Brits is a myth! Unless they have bad teeth, then it's true.

yet another one toeing the company line great

Are you getting blacked out or something? You're 3 hours away by Amtrak from Seattle.

I’m even sick of Chytil tbh. He’s an ok 3C long-term imo. He has one good game out of 10. Rebuilds are hard.

Yea I have to watch the Seattle feed lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Kreider Zibanejad Goodrow
Panarin strome Blais
Laf Chytil Kakko

 

[Kravtsov420]

Kreider breakaway?

sad but true

 

[Tob]

Can't wait for discount Halloween candy. I've waited all year for this.

Toronto at least has talent and we had two top 6 guys out. This was horrendous. Far more embarrassing than Toronto.

 

[Lays]

That’s exactly what I mean. The fact that Chytil has been the best out of Lafreniere, Kakko, Kravtsov, and Andersson should really say something considering how much we rag on Chytil. That’s a 1st overall, 2nd overall, 7th overall, and 9th overall being worse than a complete unknown 21st overall.

 

[rangerfan_79]

Panarin is a perimeter player in this one.

 

[CLW]

very depressing. Watching Mercer earlier and the guy was constantly going to the net hounding the goalie. Nonstop.
That is why I can't give Miller shit when he isn't playing well. Look at how many games Kakko/Laf/Chytil are invisible.

Yeah against CBJ playing open ice hockey... This Kraken team is bigger and allowed to clutch and grab all they want by the refs (kind of understandable since it's an expansion team playing it's first few home games). The Rangers need to start to skate and move the puck much faster out of the D zone and through the neutral zone. Everyone is standing still and allowing the Kraken to win the battles along the boards.

Yes, the refs are allowing Kraken some home advantage but that is no excuse for the Rangers to be slow and stand still. Kakko is playing F3 and doing a decent job defensively, but the transition game is not working at all for any line or the first line, and only in glimpses for the 3rd line who have at least skated a little.

I'm sure Gallant's blood pressure is not at it's healthiest atm.
