GDT: ECQF Game 5 - New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG, ESPN - Series (Pit 3-1)

[Unpredictable1]

There simply is no team in the NHL roster and coaching staff included, that cry to the refs more than Pittsburgh. Like, they NEVER shutup being in the refs ear.

 

[CommaSynapse]

It's just the lack of...anything.

Every shot is wide and a bad angle. No one wants to get into the slot. Defense can't move the puck against their forecheck. Just a very dismal start.

Plus my father insists on the ESPN feed, and all they're doing is praising Guentzel and Crosby.

And "The legend of Domingue."

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Leafs were down by 2 after a period last night, and won. You guys are down by 1 with 9 minutes left in the first. It ain’t over.

This team has zero confidence with the puck. Our goalie has terrible body language. They are still doing the same shit both coaching and player wise that hasn't worked all series. This is just a slow moving train wreck. If you can't see it then you have rose colored glasses on.

 

[Rsswmu]

So to understand GG"s plan, 11 forwards which means our kid line plays even less together so Laf can get some 4th line time. Brilliant.

Yes so nemeth can sit on the bench

 

[RangersFan1994]

Blow the team up. This core doesn't have it.

So send another letter. Wow so soon

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

These threads are more enjoyable when you ignore the hysterical people.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

That goal was garbage. That wasn't the Rangers getting their shit kicked in it was Shesterkin not being able to control a rebound and then giving up a bad goal. He has been horrible again.

The point about the rebound is at least debatable. No problem with someone at least making that point.

The idea that he should stop a shot from behind the net from a motherf***ing UNCOVERED guy who has been scoring left and right on us this series, though, is ridiculous. Stop.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

The Penguins are everything wrong with the sport. They're as bad as a soccer team. Touch them and they throw their head back. Bunch of actors and babies.

 

[Fataldogg]

Oh, shut up. You are only doing this since you were some giant, massive Hank homer who NEVER saw him give up a bad goal.

On Giants sites, we have the same type of clown posts where after Eli retired, any QB will be crucified and bashed. It's obnoxious behavior and I am 100000% going to call you out on doing the same stupid shit that those Giants fans I am referring to did..

It's laughable how blatant you're being about this, too. At least no one will ever need to take your opinion on goaltending for the Rangers seriously for the next decade or so.

Let me know when Shesterkin beats Domingue, an AHL goalie in a head to head match up and we can talk. Until then, you're talking a lot of crap without backing it up. Shesterkin has sucked. Why can't you just admit it? And I'm not the only one who was a fan of Henrik or being critical of Shesterkin. Why aren't you jumping down SnowBlinds throat or Kovalev27 or the dozens of others who criticize him?

I know you might have Shesterkin posters up in your Rangers man cave basement, but he has been bad. You're not being objective at all.

 

[SML2]

This team can't even make 10 foot passes right now.
It better come out that Mika is playing hurt because he looks pretty bad.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Why does Kreider keep hitting the brakes before he hits someone and then holds the guy. Hit the darn guy. Reeves line at least is hitting. Pens are stacking the neautral zone. Rangers need to dump and them hammer these guys through the boards. Stop carrying it.

 

[bleedblue94]

Literally anything at this point. Like I said earlier if I’m Gallant I’m straight up quitting on this team to avoid making me look bad. They’re genuinely uncoachable

I agree with your last point, but he literally bag skated them yesterday. There's no message sending coming in their last game of the year. The time to send messages was during the reg season and apparently the messages didn't get through.

 

[Lays]

The LAK without Doughty are up 3-2 against the Oilers and here we are about to be washed in 5 against the Pens without their 2nd best defenseman Dumoulin, a top 6 winger in Rakell, and oh yeah neither of their top 2 goalies

Wasn't soyboy the board favorite for captain last offseason?

glad this never happened. We were smart not to name a captain

 

[Bluto]

It's time to invert the lines
clearly the zib/panarin lines don't want to be here.
They can stay in the locker room for period 2.

 

[duhmetreE]

CHANGE SOMETHING GALLANT

THIS IS HOT GARBAGE

ITS NOT WORKING

 

[MysticLeviathan]

good idea there at least

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Because this isn’t WWE. I’d rather we win on merit than be the Islanders and lose anyway. The Penguins have been clean for the most part.

Can't disagree. The Pens have been very, very clean this whole series so far.

Granted, they haven't needed to even be borderline, lol.

 

[will1066]

Defensively, pens are locked in. It'll be tough to get anything. And without a clicking power play it's going to be tough

 

[CLW]

All the pens do is lift it out into the neutral zone and put pressure on our D

 

[Daves a mess]

Rangers are gonna sign Jake Guentzel to 10 years 100 mill when he hit UFA.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

3 drop passes will do the trick! Shoot the f'n puck

 

[Daves a mess]

#losetolou

 

[RangersFan]

Even the refs feel bad for us. They've waived off 3 legit icings against us so far.

 

[mas0764]

Blow the team up. This core doesn't have it.

The team needs two young centers and at least Kravtsov back if not another wing.

They do not need Kreider and Trouba. Join me.
