GDT: Game 16: New York Rangers @ Seattle Kraken, 9pm ET, MSG

[Kocur26]

On paper and on the power-play, we’re better than a lot of the league.

But make no mistake. The rest of the league has caught us and then some especially in the speed department. We are the slowest team on ice night in and night out and it’s starting to lead to shitty minor penalties as well.

Drury has immense work ahead of him. How do we get faster, younger and better and sign this goalie?

 

[TGWL]

Team just can't stop turning it over when trying to toss it off the boards

 

[offdacrossbar]

I can confirm Lindgren still ass even without the visor

 

[DanielBrassard]

Clear penalty

yes, I agree we should sign quick for another 8 years at 11,000 per year.

 

[mike14]

He's had some really good looks and a goal in the last couple of games?

Agreed that the looks have been there. Only 1 goal (PP) in the last 5 games isn't great, put 7pts in the last 10 is reasonable.
He just hasn't looked nearly as dynamic lately as he did during that hot start

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

I like a one timer but why does it always have to be a shot drifting away instead of Kreider driving to the net. He knows how good he is in front.

 

[Crease]

How is Mika better 4 on 5 than 5 on 5.

I would say he definitely hasn’t looked as good as he did the second half if last season at any point this season so far.

 

[Siddi]

Nice move there by Mika. Rather he shoot himself though.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Whichever poster stated that the team looks “stale “
Post of the season. Great observation.

 

[TGWL]

The shot from Zibanejad would have been better than passing that.

 

[offdacrossbar]

The twins on the PK have the juice

 

[mike14]

Yikes. That could have been bad for McCann

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Btw, brett howdwn has his 7th of the year

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

How is Mika better 4 on 5 than 5 on 5.

Only explanation is more space.

 

[Machinehead]

Three defensemen and yet no defensemen.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Only explanation is more space.

And the other team isn't focused on playing D.

 

[mike14]

That was quick period. And Quick was very good

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Take Zibanejad's stick, smash it in 5 pieces and hand him someone else's, he looks like he's using a 40 flex

 

[Cmox]

I wasn't looking and I knew that was Miller failing at the lob pass.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Quicky lookin for that shesty money

 

[effen]

Three defensemen and yet no defensemen.

Drury's Paradox

 

[TGWL]

How is Mika better 4 on 5 than 5 on 5.

Scoring off the rush. Both Kreider and Zibanejad are really good scoring off the rush players. They play open hockey. Inline hockey. On the pk, typically you have a 2 on 2, or 2 on 1 when they finally get the turnover to try and score off the rush. In a normal scenario, defensemen are back a little further and typically you have to go through more than 1 player.

 

[Mandar]

I want to say Hatfield, but that would be too easy.
