GDT: ECQF - Game 4 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST - MSG, ESPN (NYR Lead 2-1)

[NCRanger]

Nobody can handle a simple pass

Is that because they “suck” or because they might as well be playing in the Hudson River?

 

[Nyr88nyg]

They have better D but their forwards are easy to shut down. Why did we win the first 2 games? Did we play a different style? Yes we did.

What I am watching tonight is not a playoff game. It's almost like they dont want to be there. Just going through the motions.

Lafreniere is utter trash. Just trade him for what you can get.

A bag of pucks? Would this scrub even fetch a 5th? Hockey scouting is a crap shoot.

 

[GG96]

Laf has been terrible. Like, historically bad

 

[irishlaxburger2]

This team has more experience with this shit ice than anyone. They should be well acclimated.

And yet they still try to play a fancy game on it.

There’s a reason our bottom two lines are the only ones in the offensive zone tonight. They’re the only ones willing to make the simple play.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Lafenstock

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

I wonder if Kakko could help win a board battle on the PP. Hmmm.

 

[nevesis]

Shesterkin with the offensive effort

That’s a goalies way of saying ‘you guys look like shit, I’ll take care of it’

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Only thing worse than watching this game is reading this thread smh

Should we be happy?

 

[I Eat Crow]

Laf you're outta here

I wouldn't hate a Lafreniere for Byfield swap over the summer. Bust for bust. Just let Byfield develop and he's Tage Thompson in three years.

 

[ncdoc]

I agree they are not playing well, but why are we talking about waiving players and besting NTC contracts when we are in the playoffs up 2-1 and only losing by 1? They just need to turn on their game. We are not dead yet, even if we lose this game.

 

[17futurecap]

Igor just go deep with it, try and score

 

[Leonardo87]

That encapsulates Lafrenière's whole career.

I’m so done with him. Tried of the excuses.

 

[Machinehead]

Just Panarin. Plus massive hyperbole. Plenty of worse second pairs in the league - it’s middle of the pack. Panarin is top 3 salaries in the world. And the broken record goes round and round.

Most third pairs are more effective.

Miller does a lot of very obvious things to pass the eye test and that's the only reason anybody thinks otherwise.

 

[Ori]

Maybe Laf tries too hard.. ..do it simple

 

[Harbour Dog]

Yes, let's shit on the kids for being the only three players that are generating anything at all. f***ing ridiculous.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Laf has been terrible. Like, historically bad

He’s quite literally statistically the worst 1st overall pick in NHL history so far, worse than Yakupov

 

[CasusBelli]

I hate this f***ing franchise, even when they get draft luck they pick the two worst possible draft picks.

Excited to lose every regular season match against the devils for a decade, starting in a year or two?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Next PP, have Shesty out there.

 

[Guyute]

Looking for a pulse … anything

 

[NYRFANMANI]

That encapsulates Lafrenière's whole career.

He's engaged more, late in the 2nd at least. But it's just not good enough. Unfortunately it might not ever be good enough for top 6. Which would be an epic f*** up. And don't gimme the "consensus #1" bs.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Kakkos ability to maintain possession and create space is near elite already and he’s not at least tried on the PP1 right now that can’t create any offense

Slow, doesn't pass quick and decisively to be on the PP. At least he would be a better option than Lafreniere

 

[KevinFinnerty]

No shots at all...

 

[Rangerboy030]

Tampa Game 7 2015 vibes.

 

[DudMan28]

Kakko only one who’s made a little impact

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Hopefully they boo this team off the ice. Unacceptable effort for a playoff game.
