GDT: Game #11: Islanders @ Rangers 1pm MSG, NHLN

[DudMan28]

Kreider and Zib look like they save all their energy for the PK. They’re different players out there

Great play by Jones fielding the puck up the wall and going D to D on that goal.

 

[Atax]

This team isn’t a real contender.

 

[ElLeetch]

Are they just not calling anything against the Islanders?

'Game Management'

welcome to the modern NHL

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This team just refuses to properly seal the wall.

Everything leaks through them.

 

[Fitzy]

This team isn’t a real contender.

Random regular season games really don't tell us very much useful about anything in the postseason any more.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Is that really Edstroms goal?

 

[Flan the incredible]

I am convinced that Shesty would take less money if the Rangers gave him better dmen. He would save about 3 million a year on the therapy alone.

Guy probably wakes up in cold sweats screaming that pucks are still flying at him.

 

[94leetch]

Kind'a admire the Piles lineup today. Working hard at least.

 

[will1066]

The Rangers' only hope is a team transplant, Mister Giamatti

 

[Chytilmania]

Hopefully the Islanders don’t have a Montefiore comeback in them.

 

[gabevh3]

I think Fox gets tired fast and should never play near half an hour a game .

The overall body of work does, that’s why this team fails to get over the hump because when they play a team that is legit they get run out of the building.

We've seen post season Rangers tho and this is what they look like.

Guy probably wakes up in cold sweats screaming that pucks are still flying at him.

If he wants 12.5 million over 8 years he better be the team MVP with or without a good defense. As far as I'm concerned he's in the process of figuring that out.

 

[CasusBelli]

What if you took:
The 2003 Florida Panthers goaltending
The 2001 Florida Panthers defense
The 1999 Florida Panthers offense

You’d have a team that relies excessively on a near-generational talent, elite and consistent goaltending and porous defense. You’d also get the 2024-2025 NYR (so far).

Sure, but if you look closely at whats going on, you will see they are just playing basic boring hockey (with sorokin looking good). The rangers are just doo doo all around and are winning through talent alone, in spite of themselves. The islanders aren't even playing well.

 

[Chytilmania]

Idk I’ll take these Rangers that can generate offense over the Tort’s Rangers who played defense but couldn’t score more than 2.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't know why everyone's default right now is to get to a puck, have a ton of space and mindlessly throw the puck up ice to no one.

2 goals per game would have you in the top 10 back then lol

 

[DialUp]

Idk I’ll take these Rangers that can generate offense over the Tort’s Rangers who played defense but couldn’t score more than 2.

they can be taught to play defense better, or at least buy into the fundamentals. it;s hard to teach high end skill and talent offensively for sure

 

[Tob]

Defaecate down their throat

Also, it’s Edstrom school so it’s over for Ed Jovanovski

 

[Chytilmania]

How is that not interference against Panarin?

 

[Flan the incredible]

How is that not interference against Panarin?

I was thinking the same thing

we're up by 2
