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

[I Eat Crow]

Get the video guys working during this delay. Need a change in tactics in the worst way.

 

[Crease]

Devils put in their backup goalie and tightened up around him. Rangers need to find another gear, no more run and gun five goal games here.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Such f***ing p***yes

 

[LokiDog]

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.

Most third pairs play third pair minutes against less competition and I simply am not in agreement that that pairing is any worse than middle of the road. No need to debate it - difference of opinion is all.

 

[Tob]

Time to score imo.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I’d actually take Yakupov over Laf quite easily he actually flashed some high end skill. If you wouldn’t know any better you’d think he was a 35 year old AHL call up

 

[gabevh3]

This break is good for the nyr but bad for my sleep lol

 

[DuneGoon84]

Miller doesn't throw his body around what so ever. We have too many soy boys on this team

 

[Ori]

Maybe mediocre development coaches.. At least some David Guetta music in the Garden, but looking forward to next year Ultra music festival in Miami already!

 

[Machinehead]

I'm not arguing that the devils are t better, they very well may be but when you have a team that you think is better than you isnt that even more of a reason to come out and assert yourself in game 3 instead of playing more passively in game 3 and 4 then you did at all in game 1 or 2

What does "assert yourself" mean?

Forcheck better? Score some goals? Put pressure on them? Make the game hard for them to play? The Rangers are incapable of doing those things consistently at even strength. They have been all year.

 

[Siddi]

Paging Mika and Panarin. Want to be leaders on this team. f***ing lead!

 

[Filip Chytil]

Panarin, Mika and Trocheck completely MIA.

We need Tofu Mika. No more Lentil Mika. He digests tofu better imo

 

[Atax]

Mika has disappeared. Trocheck has been trash. Miller is Charmin soft. Panarin is a turnover machine. Just a pitiful performance by our players.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Can someone step up? Throw a helmet ?

 

[CLW]

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

Zib is working really hard but he's all by himself. Panarin and Tro are completely lost out there.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Time to score imo.

Big if true.

Gallant will change once the Devils win their 3rd game

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Can someone wake these f***ers up? Schmid hasn’t had to even break a sweat.

 

[inranger94]

Maybe now time to put in Halak. Nothing against Igor.

 

[gabevh3]

Miller doesn't throw his body around what so ever. We have too many soy boys on this team

We need a Tortorella type coach

 

[Crease]

Straight back to the Newark Ramada Inn after this game.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Team has two lines that play the way they need to and two that don't. Changing the top 6 centers is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

 

[Machinehead]

Most third pairs play third pair minutes against less competition and I simply am not in agreement that that pairing is any worse than middle of the road. No need to debate it - difference of opinion is all.

Blaming Panarin is just easier.

 

[Bob Richards]

Maybe now time to put in Halak. Nothing against Igor.

Dawg it is literally 1-0

so what's the solution? rebuild again?
