GDT: 9/30 - Preseason Game 4 - New York Rangers @ New York Islanders, 7pm EST, MSG (Game On! I think?)

[Machinehead]

Weren't people saying Halak was done as well early last season?

Halak was an elite goaltender for several years. Quick hasn't been good since 2013.

I always wondered why MSG got rid of that show Beginnings. That show was interesting and entertaining

Alexis Lafreniere-

"He's only 18!" Absolutely.
"He's only 19!" True.
"He's only 20!" OK bro
"He's only 21"! Whatever
"He's only 22" ( 12 days)! Stahpppp it ( slap)


When you root so hard for a guy to succeed, to help your team do well, and he slaps your pee pee enough with consistent mediocrity and zero noticable improvement, it gets ugly.

Still hope he scores a hatty next period though. Also hope that Margo Robbie wants me to reenact the Tom Cruise/ Rebecca DeMornay scene from Risky Business with her after the game.

Between Margot Robbie and Laf scoring 3 goals in one period, you’ll be pleased to know the odds are actually in you and Margot’s favor.

at least this team is truculunct or whatever that fancy word is

Had to look it up. Truculent

Now it's Bo Horvat Beggings.

Reading the thread I know our guys are not playing well which in the preseason does not concern me that much. Rust does happen but tell me does Laf look like he is in good shape? Is he working hard? What do you think of his skating?

He looks the same feet and hands-wise as he did end of last season, but with the added struggle of playing a new position.

LOL I sort of remember some good games by Quick in 2014.

 

[duhmetreE]

love new NHL season....

get to watch the same 'new' commercials for 6-8 months.

 

[gabevh3]

Lol if he goes to Montreal and becomes a perennial PPG player with Cole Caufield, I think he enters the top 10 most hated former Rangers conversation.

You're being generous... more like top 3. I always wondered if he's doing it on purpose but then why did he sign a new contract?

 

[Leonardo87]

Hey, anyone who can’t afford a hotel can crash on my couch/floor. You’ll just have a lot of Loki and Henrik to deal with. 6-7 years ago I set up a 20 person group for a Stars/Oilers game (McDavid had a hattrick, his first I think) and we got to go down on the Stars bench after, get some pictures, etc. so I could set something up lol

Are you going to follow the Dallas Stars?

Clearly you haven’t played nhl23 otherwise you would be very familiar with that world lmao

 

[Avery16]

Anyone else think our backup goalie situation is an issue yet?

 

[gabevh3]

He won't even do well in the ahl with this kind of shape.

Gauthier is an Isle?

 

[NickyFotiu]

He looks the same feet and hands-wise as he did end of last season, but with the added struggle of playing a new position.

I know it may be hard to tell in this situation but any insight about his motor? Does he look strong? His skating (is that what you meant by feet)?

 

[Machinehead]

LOL I sort of remember some good games by Quick in 2014.

He was good in game 3. The rest of the games he was slightly better than Lundqvist who diarrhea'd the bed in that series because goaltending is bullshit.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Ahhh the preseason meltdown. Have a beer, relax, everything will be ok.

 

[AirGut]

You're being generous... more like top 3. I always wondered if he's doing it on purpose but then why did he sign a new contract?

just remember that we crushed Lafreniere's heart into dust in 2014 so maybe he really is working against us.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Gauthier is an Isle?

Hat trick incoming. MSG pumping Gauhtier ugh

 

[Profet]

It would be so Rongos for Gauthier to become a more productive player than Laf.

 

[Crease]

I know it may be hard to tell in this situation but any insight about his motor? Does he look strong? His skating (is that what you meant by feet)?

Zero improvement in skating.

 

[NYR94]

Hickey wasn't excited to see Julien Gauthier don't lie

 

[CasusBelli]

This crew salivating over the performance of the Isles. You mean a full NHL playoff roster is destroying a single line of NHL players (one third of which is a first overall bust), two or three NHL defensemen and a borderline backup goalie? Astonishing!

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Hat trick incoming. MSG pumping Gauhtier ugh

Gauthier couldn't score on a hooker with $100 bills taped all over his body

 

[Cmox]

Holmstrom lol
