GDT: ECQF - Game 5 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils , 7:30 EST, MSG, ESPN2

[Tob]

We need to force zibanejad and panarin to waive their NMC

 

[17futurecap]

Hasn’t even been a bad period shrugs.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Why do these guys just like to shoot high against a tall ass goalie. Gotta shoot at their feet. Very poor IQ

 

[Machinehead]

Trouba is the worst PP player I’ve ever seen in my life. We had the puck in deep while on a PP and instead of being at the point he’s skating around in circles around center ice LMFAO

Come on now, you saw Ryan Strome.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Can someone explain how we have the best PP QB in the league and he's taken off after 58 seconds on each PP in favor of Jacob f***ing Trouba

 

[bl02]

This 2nd unit is trash

It's mostly trash because the point man has zero ability to move along the blue line it's a joke. He's basically stationary in one spot

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Why is Gallant so stubborn. Put Tarasenko opposite Zib instead of Panarin so there’s another one timer threat and NJ can’t cheat to the Mika side.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Zibby so soft on the pp losing one on one battles and Trouba is a f***ing waste on the second unit

ZIbanejad is terrible on the boards and has been for years.

 

[Kravtsov420]

what little hope is left is fading and fading fast.

biggest embarrassment for the organization given expectations since i can remember

full cap, organization sucks balls at development - the second dark age is approaching fast

 

[Ail]

Yeah this is men vs boys

Old men vs talented upcoming boys

Our youth needs to be given "time"

Yep, it's time, time for them to hang 'em up.

 

[Machinehead]

Hasn’t even been a bad period shrugs.

The analytics machine broke

 

[CLW]

The analytics are just reflective of the way the team is built. They don't play hockey from this century. The roster has very little speed and we transition like the two line pass is still in effect.

They tried getting tougher last year and more skilled this year. There were still much better teams in the East both years.

They should try getting faster.

I'm been banging on about these points for so long I'm guessing half the board has me on mute.

 

[Siddi]

I mean, for what its worth. Rangers are playing pretty well.

 

[FoxyClean]

Have we gotten a single bounce this series

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I may prefer icing Wade Redden over Trouba if he's doing that

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Zibby so soft on the pp losing one on one battles and Trouba is a f***ing waste on the second unit

24% of our cap being tied down to Panarin and Trouba is the wound that never heals

 

[duhmetreE]

Trouba is the worst PP player I’ve ever seen in my life. We had the puck in deep while on a PP and instead of being at the point he’s skating around in circles around center ice LMFAO

he literally costs us at the point. He's cheating back because he's that slow.

Coaching staff is brain dead for now having KAM there.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Hard work beats skill when skill doesn't work hard

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Gallant is AV 2.0 but a worse coach

 

[Machinehead]

what little hope is left is fading and fading fast.

Don't have expectations.

 

[qwertyaas]

Zibs puts himself in terrible spots to shoot. Then the puck is telegraphed and moved slowly to him to shoot.

It's a 0 IQ setup.

They are forcing it.

You could tell how much different it is to their normal setup. They are making him the only option, as opposed to an option on the PP. Which means it's an easy stop.

 

[DudMan28]

Kanes been good on the wall so naturally we move him out of there so Panarin can handle the puck. We’ve cratered our own PP to keep Panarin happy. Put him on PP 2

 

[B17 Apricots]

Zibanejad almost had one there, a few inches higher and that's above the pad. Glad they moved him off that spot the 2 last games. Keep feeding the guy there

 

[DuneGoon84]

Have we gotten a single bounce this series

You need to be able to skate to catch breaks

 

[RangersFan]

Need a self motivated team. They only seem to show urgency when their backs are against the wall, or as we saw last game, not at all.
