GDT: ECQF Game 4 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST, MSG, ESPN - Series (PIT 2-1)

[RangerLifer]

Better than watching Panarin try to force a pass between 4 defenders. Someone needs to tell him to take the f***ing shot.

I want to smack him.

Pittsburgh was awful the final few weeks of the season and down to their 3rd choice goalie.

Rangers have the likely Vezina winner

So of course the Penguins put 13 goals on the Rangers in the past 2 games.

The randomness of this sport never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Blueshirts777]

Zib is at his best when he can stand by the net with his stick up for 5 minutes waiting for a slap shot that he misses 90% of the time. Danault was the guy we needed but were too busy scouting Nemeth.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We can haz Trotz?

It's not the coach, it's gm and the players. The gm didn't recognize after watching Nemeth all year that he's terrible and didn't replace him. The players don't want to play a playoff style game for 60 mins, this coach and the last have been hammering that message into them for three years, nobody listens

 

[Tob]

Go get Qunneville.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

The whole team, with maybe 2 or 3 exceptions, has been absolute garbage this series. But Nemeth, that motherf***er has been the harbinger of f***ing doom in all our losses. He takes penalties that we get scored on, loses someone badly in coverage, or knocks in an own goal. Everything goes downhill after he f***s up, which is often. Blame goes all around, but that dude is a pile of shit on skates.

 

[Machinehead]

I campaigned so hard for Danault last off season and felt like I was the only one. Everyone said he was a black hole.

The only black hole around here is the one I'm rooting for to suck in Jovanovski

 

[LokiDog]

This could be true. Igor certainly hasn't looked the same, no matter that the team is playing like shit in front of him.

For sure, but we’ve left Igor out to dry many times before. He has been noticeably off. While he can’t be “blamed” for a lot of these, they’re things that don’t squeak through or beat him usually.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Oh great the scumbag is back in net

 

[FIRE DRURY]

someone should end Carters season this period then

Get outta here with this. Anyone hoping we intentionally injure someone is a fool.















Unless we’re talking about Subban. f*** that guy. And Wilson.

Panarin Zibanejad and Kreider are happy that they got their big paydays and are just cruising to retirement at this point.

 

[will1066]

Well I would hope we at least kicked the tires on it.

We need a center.

Even if Gallant were playing Copp at center (which he should be), I don't think he's it. He's mediocre defensively.

I've said it a million and a half times. Zibanejad is a very good player and Strome is fine, but they're too alike to be your top two centers.

Pretty solid proof they're regular season stars

 

[carlsection404]

gallant is getting fired

 

[Filip Chytil]

This team has a long way to go. Yikes.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Go get Qunneville.

Ew. No.

 

[Cmox]

Can't wait for the Rangers Twitter account to be tonedeaf and tweet their "No Quit in NY" crap

Post more celebrities for their last game of the year

 

[howztheglass]

Not sure if anyone said it because I didn’t read all the pages prior but Kreider coming back shows he cares. Next year he deserves the C.

And GG REFUSES TO TAKE HIM OUT OF THE LINEUP!! IT MAKES ME SICK!! I'd rather see Jones in there.

No he isn't

The Penguins are playing fantastic playoff hockey. Taking shots from everywhere & using "legal interference." Gallant's team is playing pond hockey.

 

[Jauffre]

People were in denial, but ote trade deadline we were a very bad hockey team winning on goaltending. Our old habits get exposed in the playoffs

We had our post-acquisition surge in the reg. season but people thinking they'd carry that into the playoffs, an entirely different beast, were just out to lunch.

If Igor isn't perfect, we lose. That's not how it's supposed to work.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

joe is absolutely right. no goaltender in history would’ve made a difference

 

[Machinehead]

Pretty solid proof they're regular season stars

If we had a two-way center playing a two-way role and gave Zibanejad the freedom to do his thing, it would look a lot different.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Wow Joe is ripping the defense openly on air. I love it.

 

[Bluto]

Ew. No.

Queneville's motivation tactics are.... unorthodox and illegal.
"GO BLOCK THAT SHOT OR THE RAPEY TRAINER WILL BE PAYING YOU A VISIT!"
