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

[Shesterkybomb]

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.

Its speed and will to win they need. Most of these guys don't wanna get buried in front of the net to score a goal.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I saw this live and thought he was stuck in the net and couldn't move

Lol in hockey I swap my hockey pants laces with skate laces so they hang really low for maximum swag, and one time when I skated out for a shift all of a sudden i get pulled back to the bench because the laces got caught on the gate and I was stuck there lmao

 

[Cag29]

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

Let's just bring torts back!

No thanks.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

I am praying you are right.

How much money do you have on the game?

 

[17futurecap]

He got away with it, but you can’t roll that third pair normally for the next 40.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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).

Sounds like what Rangers fans say about Panarin.

 

[hockeyfanplayer]

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

You think TBL has more speed overall than the NYR?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Kakko looks invisible tonight….. too soon?

He lost weight?

 

[DuneGoon84]

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

Doesn't matter, we are in this situation now and he didn't handle it well AT ALL. Allowing an injured player to play and scratching kk is a fireable offense. Moronic move.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Its unfortunate that Gallant is throwing the game.

Yeah it is all Gallant and not that half his team is skating on one leg.

The never ending scapegoating here is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[FoxyClean]

I feel like we'll win this game but who knows with the next one. I also think you just play Strome on the pp if we ever get one and go with 3 centers, Zib, Chytil, Copp

How can you possible feel that we'll win tonight? We've created nothing and should be down 2-0 already.

 

[Machinehead]

That hot shot prospect Corey Perry.

What team did they sign Ross Colton from?

They had an opening, they moved him up.

We have an opening, we get Frank Vatrano.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Sounds like my kind of player!

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

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

I'm keeping Miller away from Fox unless it's an in game adjustment due to penalty or injury. Miller has enough skills offensively, he should be free to release whenever he sees an opportunity. Paired with Fox, Miller's offensive instincts might be severly stunted.

 

[Synergy27]

it’s going to take a long time to get over this Strome decision. The guy is visibly injured. It’d be one thing to do cheetah flips to keep him in the lineup if he was tearing the playoffs up, but he’s been a worse version of his already bad self for the majority of them.

I am fine with Hunt playing. They can use his speed and forechecking capability.

I can even be convinced that sitting Kakko makes sense.

But to throw the withered husk of Ryan Strome into this fire is infuriating. Imagine what a fresh Brodzinski would look like in his place even.

Now watch him somehow score the 3OT winner tonight. Let my anger will that into existence.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Yeah it is all Gallant and not that half his team is skating on one leg.

The never ending scapegoating here is absolutely ridiculous.

He’s certainly didn’t do himself any favors scratching Kakko and allowing one legged Strome to play

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Some of the morons here criticizing Kakko for not scoring don't understand the value of players. Kakko knows how to move a puck through zones. None of our players save Panarin, Fox and Miller can consistently do that.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

What are the lines, I just got in?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

How do you eliminate it?

Call the interference helps, if you cant dump and chase you are screwed. Its really frustrating watching all these picks.

 

[Machinehead]

You think TBL has more speed overall than the NYR?

Like 26 teams have more speed than the Rangers.

It's our biggest issue.

 

[Kane One]

Yeah it is all Gallant and not that half his team is skating on one leg.

The never ending scapegoating here is absolutely ridiculous.

Is Kakko hiding an injury or something we aren’t aware of?

 

[mas0764]

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

Losing in the finals is not our issue.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Strome can’t even skate. This isn’t a Lindgren situation where he’s playing hurt but basically is moving adequately out there. Strome shouldn’t be in the lineup right now with how shitty his movement is. It’s a detriment to the team. I don’t care about toughness or balls or whatever if you can’t even move. Like thanks for being tough and trying but youre moving like a mens league player so you shouldn’t be out there.

 

[pld459666]

Need to win the 2nd period.

 

[CLW]

Panarin did the hiding behind the net thing again lol

That opened up the slot for Kuch's great pass to start the counter.
