GDT: ECF Game #6 - Rangers in Tampa 8pm ET. Time to Get Engaged & Crash The Party in Tampa

[chosen]

Drury should fire Gallant tonight and hire Trotz tomorrow

A whole season of 2-1 games is unbearable boredom.

 

[Rongomania]

Great, now I'm smoking weed at work. I mean I was gonna do it anyway but now I actually have a solid reason.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Are you sure you’re an Islander fan?

I asked him the same question the last time he was here being objective & talking sense.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

And yes to everyone who's posted it. Pretty hard to dump and chase when you can't skate a straight line to the puck.

Also pretty hard not to play dump and chase when a team traps.

 

[Slaydagnar]

Maloney complaining about Fox's size.

This is just as bad as ESPN.

He’s right. Lol at questioning Dave Maloney
Fox though small needed to throw a simple body check on that play. He needs to hit the gym over the Summer.
Also Chytil, Kakko need to hit the gym
You throw body checks to separate the player from the puck.
Rangers will not win a Cup playing this soft

 

[cheech70]

Kaako skates like a prima donna...avoids contact and doesn't pursue the puck. He is talented but sans work ethic..he needed to be benched..PS best line 1st period centered by 72

 

[claireb04]

This team looks hurt and tired and sitting Kakko is f***ing garbage. I can't believe it.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Maaaaaannnn.....do NOT get me started. I DETEST Barzal and would definitely trade him before he demands stupid money for his next (undeserved) contract.

He plays zero defense, a pure perimeter player who runs from any contact, is always looking for the cute ESPN-highlight passing play instead of shooting, and has a VERY low hockey IQ (turns the puck over constantly at the blueline).

RED:

Would fit in with this team

 

[Cag29]

I mean we have Goodrow.

He’s in the line up. We just look wore out. No one expected us to get this far. And a bunch of you are turning on Gallant. It’s laughable. I’ll stick with Gallant. Hopefully we make the correct personal decisions going into next season. The team is close. This is great experience. Igor is awesome. LGR!

 

[Fitzy]

I'm very interested to see what a Miller-Fox pairing might look like next season.

 

[bleedblue94]

That's the point.

If we're going to bury the kids, might as well bring in a superior coach to win.

Also, Cassidy had zero issues grooming and developing Pasta and McAvoy.

They turned out pretty good.

Umm they were developed under Julien, they have continued to be great players under Cassidy.

Let's just bring torts back!

We have failed to match the desperation Tampa has shown since they went down 2-0 in game 3. If you don't move your feet and keep moving your feet you won't draw any penalties. Interference doesn't get called unless you show you are going to actually make a play on the puck and get nullified. Instead we see the guy in front of us and give up.

This. The NYR efforts has been either really hot or really cold. Given they are much younger and should be flying past TBL, the only thing holding them back is effort/desire.

 

[Kane One]

I asked him the same question the last time he was here being objective & talking sense.

I think any Isles fan rooting for the Rangers here is pretty crazy if you ask me.

My dad is an Isles fan and I still rooted against them the last two years. And I’m sitting next to him now while he’s rooting for TB.

 

[DanielBrassard]

All I know is this team still desperately needs more skill and speed. Far too many guys who have trouble getting around the ice and making plays with the puck. It's hard to win when you are routinely chasing the puck.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

People sitting here complaining about Gallant after saying they would be happy with winning a round this year are pretty funny.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

They look gassed.

 

[Go Rangers]

Great, now I'm smoking weed at work. I mean I was gonna do it anyway but now I actually have a solid reason.

Pinch hitter?

 

[CLW]

F- move, fireable offense, foreshadowed the idiocy of this team’s priorities moving forward.

The Rangers have given up on priorities moving forward. They decided their window is now and they are happy to go with dime a dozen forwards that look busy skating and "playing hard".

You can't fly past a team of quicker skaters.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I'm very interested to see what a Miller-Fox pairing might look like next season.

I think it would be fantastic and open up both of their offense even more.

Can you imagine what Key could do with the looks Lindgren gets? Not saying he would be a 50 point defenseman but I think a 15-20 season would be possible overnight.

I think that is our future top pair.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Its unfortunate that Gallant is throwing the game.

 

[bleedblue94]

Something going on here. Not a good thing going forward as a NY Ranger

He's just not that good of a player. If he wasn't a 2oa pick no one would care about him. He's played his way into borderline irrelevancy. More and more likely he's not here next year

 

[mas0764]

The League needs to eliminate the trap or call the interference.

pick one

How do you eliminate it?

 

[hockeyfanplayer]

It's going to be really funny in here when we win this game.

I am praying you are right.

 

[Leonardo87]

Kakko looks invisible tonight….. too soon?
