GDT: Game 13: New York Rangers vs Minnesota Wild, 7pm ET, MSG

[SnowblindNYR]

Playing the wild more than isles and devs at this point is insane. The NHL has murdered our sick rivalries. Beyond lame.

It's 13 games in, we'll play the Isles and Devils more later. I don't see the issue.

What, do we play BOTH like 6 times cumulatively? It's soooo wack.

This is what OPS is.

No it isn't. It's OBP + Slugging. Not (TB + BB + HBP) / PA.

You don't think Brian Propp, Brian Bellows and Mark Tinordi are serious rivals? You don't want to stop them from having expected big time games?

 

[Machinehead]

Is it not as bad as the memes say or are the memes just outdated? 10 years ago it was absolutely true.

Yeah back when it was Warriors vs Cavs all the time.

Zach Parise plz. A.k.a. their Chris Drury (NYR years).

Let's go!

pretty much changed only once Lebron stopped being far and away the best player in the NBA. because he was in the finals for like a decade straight, and the other team was just more likely to be a top seed.

Speaking of Laf, I'll be at SeaWorld anywhere I can catch this one?

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

I want the PGT title to be “Tamed”.

I’m hoping for “MING!!! Da Ming!!!”

Nothing like a GDT thread where 95% of the posts have nothing to do with tonights game.

Good stuff folks.

This! The only concern I have is the Schneider/Jones pairing. Scarily bad defensively.

Not for nothing but Lav-O was extremely complimentary on both guys in yesterday’s post-practice presser. Had to pinch myself.

He's got to be in denial.

We usually wait for our Australian fans to wake up and join before talking about anything serious.

After the COVID division I’m happy to never see those teams again

Big question tonight: will the geezer who always gets to stand next to where the Rangers enter and exit the ice while wearing our backup goalie's jersey, will he be wearing a Garand jersey tonight?

Think you're the only one who noticed this.

Yeah, we have the top guy, but NJ has 4 of the top 15. Where's Mika and all the "offensively talented players"? Not complaining, just wondering. I'd like us to be scoring a bit more, but our team defense has been pretty incredible and yeah, that includes goaltending.

They’ll comeback to norm to counter our combined 120 PP+PK%.

 

[TominNC]

Domingue is in tonight.

On that note, does anyone out there have a solid theory why we see so fewer right-catching goalies nowadays?

Obviously in baseball there's the notion that left-handed hitters are physically closer to first base, giving them a slight edge for singles. Is there any such theory for NHL goalies? Most NHL players shoot left, but the angles are from all over the ice surface.

Most people are right handed, therefor throwing right handed and catching lefthanded. So that’s what goalies do. I’ve seen guys (not high level) needing to turn the stick around to shoot righty.

They are relevant statistics. You just don't add them that way to get a third relevant statistic. See my previous post on what would be a third relevant statistic.

Like in baseball? OBP+Slg = OPS

Or “Barf Stars”
