GDT: Game 15: New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils, 7pm ET, MSG2

[LOFIN]

You don't need to worry about Igor. He does his job and does it well. There are other areas of the game that need attention.

Sure. But we are leading 2-0 if it's not for Igor. Those were not defensive breakdowns, those were just weak goals by our goalie.

 

[Tob]

MSG really will shoot John and Steve anywhere but MSG Studios.

Islanders took our studios. I'm watching right now. Must be written into a contract somewhere.

 

[Fitzy]

John... the puck was at no point "Inside Igor's Body"

 

[LOFIN]

Look at it this way, this is now a 40 minute game starting at tied game with Igor warmed up from his injury rust and Nosek out for the game.

Hurray

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Just play to the whistle like we did all our life! Who changes all this crap

 

[Circus86]

Is that sarcasm?

What was so great about his last season? He had a good run in round one thats about it.

 

[CasusBelli]

Gianone is such a bot scout. Shut up and go work at McDonald’s or at daddy’s pizzeria.

 

[huerter]

Vally embraces the right stuff but lacks the common sense to be HIM.

I will allow him a few weak goals from time to time. Roy, Hasek, Richter, Dryden....they never let in an "easy" goal? Igor has saved our asses on too many occasions to get on his case.

 

[gabevh3]

It's a rule? Is Intent to blow also in the rule book?

 

[Kovalev27]

So intent to blow though when he thinks the goalie has it doesn’t matter here either? But intent to blow while the puck is sitting in the net like the other night is cool?

I’m supposed to be as a fan ok with this?

Absolutely horrible goaltending by Igor in that period. Just awful. Only reason this game isn’t 2-0. We dominated that period.

 

[Machinehead]

When you wanna just drop hot takes the whole GDT but you gotta be responsible.

 

[DanielBrassard]

You should let your uncle start posting, we need his insights on here.

 

[egelband]

2 beer league goals. Unbelievable. and against the Devils no less. What a disgrace.

Would love the rangers to get just one of those goals when it counts.

 

[hardnosed]

Just play to the whistle like we did all our life! Who changes all this crap

What if there was a Ranger who was in position to swat that away but didn't because the whistle blew?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Once they went to "the refs intent to blow the whistle" it went to hell. Just stop the play when the whistle goes like every league these guys played in growing up.

 

[Crease]

It's a rule? Is Intent to blow also in the rule book?

Premature blowulation. Rule 37.

John... the puck was at no point "Inside Igor's Body"

Authorities at Madrid-Barajas International Airport have detained Igor Shesterkin on suspicion that he ingested a puck and attempted to smuggle it into Spanish territory.

NFL?

 

[INWOODBLUE]

I'm sick of people here ragging on Igor. Get over it. He's one of the top goalies in the league. Lighten up. He's coming off a 16 day layoff.

 

[LOFIN]

I mean yeah, every goalie lets in a soft one every now and then. Today, Igor has let in two soft ones while we have been leading.

We all know how good Igor can be and will be, so we will take it easy a bit. But Georgiev and Halak got slaughtered for those. And the team gave up as well.

Let's not make excuses.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

What if there was a Ranger who was in position to swat that away but didn't because the whistle blew?

When you leave it open to interpretation someone is gonna be upset. If you go to the replay and the whistle goes before the puck crosses is cut and dry, same as when they say they were about to blow it..... thats some serious bs, they can take 30 seconds to change their mind. The replay doesn't lie, stop with the whistle

 

[Kravtsov420]

yea okay kredier wheelers gonna outskate you idiot

 

[Machinehead]

Chris, please learn to pass
