GDT: Game 11: New York Rangers @ Minnesota Wild, 8pm ET, MSG

[Profet]

Thank you!

Everyone slobbers over them.

1) They're not the North Stars.

2) These were never good. Yellow and bright ass green clash.

The North Stars jerseys with a little bit of black to cool the burning were good.

Fleury's bright yellow pads are amazing. Fight me.

Replacing Kakko with Kane is throwing plywood over a crater.

They need to bring in players who are actually good at generating shots and chances 5v5.

that would be preferable but the options are limited

 

[KevinFinnerty]

need a good period here boys were still up

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Despite all this, I would love a good third period.

They did regroup to have a very strong 3rd period last game. Though it seemed like the Canes just play a similar game to us when we play well.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Despite all this, I would love a good third period.

2nd has been our worst all season so… can only go up from here?

 

[will1066]

I think we'll regroup and still win this game

Minn was obviously pissed after the 1st and got a scolding from Creed Bratton and played the second shot out of a cannon

 

[rangersfansince08]

This is probably not just Rangers management but it's very much still a league that values #toffness. And that's what they thought Schneider had. And it was important because the team that won the cup that year had #toffness or something.

toughness is the willingness to block shots, go to the net, forecheck and backcheck not big hits and fights. this is how we ended up with Goodrow. just an antiquated way of thinking. literally the worst piece of Tampa's third line.

i really want to see a team that is good at drafting build a true superpower with not a single plug anywhere in the lineup.

 

[LORDE]

Watching this team I think...

Wow I wish "he" did that in the playoffs

or

He needs more time

or

WTF????

None of those point to a Cup

 

[SnowblindNYR]

as soon as MAF went in the net we stopped shooting

Can't shoot when you spend the entire period in your zone with the puck.

 

[rangersfansince08]

He doesn't light the world on fire right away trade him. Why not trade Kakko too. Talk about having no patience. He's only 22 entering his 2ed full season. Not like he is 26 and still waiting

they suck and always will. no hockey IQ at all and skating is mediocre

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We know what Belzile is too and there's no reason to throw prospects onto the 4th line for a game or two. It's not that big of a deal.

I'd much rather have Cuylle Pitlick Othmann/Sykora/ Berard on the 3rd line tonight, and it would give someone who actually has a future here a taste of the nhl

 

[Tob]

The good news is, so far Jonathan Quick with a stick is pitching a shutout. We'll see where that takes us.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

The only hurdle is how do we not appear desperate as hell to offload this chud during the season. You need to get something decent back. If Andersson can get a 2nd rounder, maybe a pair of 2nds.

Yeah his value isn’t gonna be much. So disappointing. Hell, gimme Kessel at this point, at least he can still somewhat skate.

Only problem with that last part is that injuries happen and then you'll get plugs.

Because he does nothing well, and this is his third full season, he played 63 NHL games his first year counting the playoffs, lets not pretend this is a Sophomore slump, he's the same player as he was in year 1.

 

[LokiDog]

Quinton Byfield’s got 10 points, 11th game in progress. f***ing A.

I thought I read it was a cap thing, had to be Brod or Jake.

He was highly thought of and not just for tuffness. If we didn't take him the Devils would have right behind us. The hate for the kid is ridiculous.

who the hell is going to trade that to us without us giving up a 1st or good prospect?

 

[INWOODBLUE]

LOL...Lundquist perfume.....yew!!!!!

 

[Crease]

They’re really selling Hank’s cologne on the broadcast?

 

[effen]

Quinton Byfield’s got 10 points, 11th game in progress. f***ing A.

His teammates don't play like they're going to explode if they take a hit to make a play. Much easier to play with that type.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Can't shoot when you spend the entire period in your zone with the puck.

Or in the penalty box.

 

[ajdj10]

Anyone seen Mika and Kreider??Another no-show game from our"top line"

I think they've eloped.
