GDT: [Game #17] Dallas Stars vs. New York Rangers – 7:00 PM CT (BSSW)

[Troy McClure]

I think Robertson and Johnston will be good for each other.

Nice first shift. It’s funny there was some confusion on the cycle when two Stars tried to occupy the same spot, and I say funny because the screwup happened with the two who have been on the line this whole time.

 

[Cowboyluck]

Scary our 4th line is the best line so far.

Nils is just Honka 2.0.

 

[JeffP]

is the ice bad?
or is that just us?

we look pretty decent, but one of these might end badly if we keep giving them up

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Robertson can't even skate up the ice without losing the puck holy f*** he sucks

 

[starsfan86]

I guess they’re just gonna let the Rangers block all their shots tonight.

 

[Troy McClure]

I have to give Lafreniere a lot of credit. When I saw him play last season including at a game at MSG, he was terrible. All he did was float around and look lost. Worst of all, he wasn’t getting engaged in puck battles.

But he looks great tonight. Hard on the puck.

 

[roryjones]

Really weak call

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why did Duchene do that and then why is he complaining? That was the most obvious penalty

 

[Troy McClure]

Ballys seems to be getting their commercial breaks all wrong. Some producer is having a rough night.

 

[Kcb12345]

Idk if Duchene thought he was closer to that puck or what but that was like 10 feet away from it

Think he thought Pitlick was gonna go shoulder to shoulder with him but instead Duchene cut in front

 

[roryjones]

It’s not like it was a hit. He got in front and leaned back. Yes there was contact. I can see why the ref calls it but it better go both ways. Seems a bit weak.

 

[Azzuri]

I hate that Lindell Hankappa is a thing again.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

He cut right into the guy and took away his ice he's allowed to block him if he continues his path to the puck and slows down

 

[roryjones]

He cut right into the guy and took away his ice he's allowed to block him if he continues his path to the puck and slows down

He has been doing that all season. I don’t remember him being this physical. He leans on guys a ton and knocks them down. I can’t remember him doing this to us when he was in Nashville.

 

[Troy McClure]

Seguin needs to be in front of the net on the PP.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Seems like 5% of our shot attempts have made it on net.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Unlucky

 

[starsfan86]

Yawn

 

[Troy McClure]

Seems like 5% of our shot attempts have made it on net.

Might be time to have some forwards take shots. These long shots from the D aren’t getting through.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Might be time to have some forwards take shots. These long shots from the D aren’t getting through.

Forwards are all over passing it and not shooting though it's hella annoying

 

[starsfan86]

We suck at shooting

 

[JeffP]

we look fine. we should be totally capable of pushing back

that goal was unfortunate and its hard to blame anyone for that one imho (aside of trochek)

im glad they split up the lines for now, we looked like shit last game

 

[Troy McClure]

Rangers first period
16 shots on net
2 blocked shots
4 missed shots
22 shot attempts

Stars first period
7 shots on goal
8 blocked shots
6 missed shots
21 shot attempts

It’s not wildly different in terms of trying to do things with the puck, but you’re not scaring anyone missing the net and hitting shin pads.

Jason “can’t make one clean pass” Robertson.
