GDT: Game 18: New York Rangers @ Calgary Flames, 9pm ET, MSG (Game is tonight, 11/21, not tomorrow)

Why do you despise this guy? Henrik let in plenty of soft goals too

I don't remember him giving up softies this consistently but yes he did. Goalies f***ing suck. This is why you can't pay one 12 million dollars. That was a f***ing embarrassment on that goal.

And I’m in bed before midnight.

I hate this kinda nonsense. League isn't biased against anyone, through the course of a year there's 100s of missed calls, bad calls, mistakes, etc and they happen to every team. The Maple Leafs think the league is against them, montreal the same...its nonsense

Canadian teams got to choose all the good players early on while leaving the rest to other teams.

 

[TheDirtyH]

my brother it's every goal, every game. it's not "being critical." it's actual frothing deranged hatred.

I feel like that's the fun of the GDT... watching sports with people has never historically resembled a philosophy seminar

 

[SnowblindNYR]

or we would have lost 5-2...

Better 5-2 than that f***ing bullshit. Dude can NEVER close the deal. He just can't have a great game without a softy. Did it against the Panthers, did it against the Lightning. Born f***ing loser.

 

[ReddestRum]

I truly hope Igor decides not to sign here so I can absolutely hope to see the meltdowns and blame games on players other than the one guy making 40+ saves multiple times this season.

 

[Siddi]

What does this even mean? Been a fan since the cup year. What r u insinuating?

Dont sweat it.

 

[17futurecap]

Vally sick of how the Rangers are playing lol.

i don't know what this means but imo there should be a middle ground between what you're describing and... whatever we see here whenever a single goal goes in our net or a single pass gets deflected away.

With all due respect, we stopped playing the Lightning for Game 5 and 6.

We didn't show up Game 1 against the Panthers and showed up for the final 5 minutes of Game 6.

I mean I get what your saying. But it’s one of the worst games of the year and it’s a GDT. Let people let off some steam and have more reasonable conversations in the other threads.

I’d rather be on this place instead of a place like Reddit where everyone thinks we’re the greatest team ever.

ok, but it's still just a loss, so other than your blood pressure there's no real difference between Shesty with 3-2 and someone else making it 5-2 and getting smoked early

 

[tomobson]

This team needs its #1C back.

 

[Leonardo87]

@Machinehead are you doing a PGT?

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

The early goalie pull sucks so hard when you don’t plan on changing. What’s the point of sending the top guys out for 2+ minutes? They have no energy to attack for half of it

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

I only caught the first and second half of the third. They looked terrible.

 

[mike14]

In other news, Aussie legend Nathan Walker leads Chris Kreider in 5v5 goals at this point in the season...

 

[Guyute]

Kreider and Smith were absolutely horrific tonight. I’m starting to wonder if it’s Kreider and Smith that are making look bad….

Who's off duty now, brown cow?

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Kreider and Smith were absolutely horrific tonight. I’m starting to wonder if it’s Kreider and Smith that are making look bad….

I feel like Smith is invisible 99% of the time he's on the ice. I almost forget that he's on the Rangers.

 

[McRanger92]

When the team moves on from these veteran mercenaries and empowers the young homegrown studs who give a shit about being Rangers, maybe we’ll get that elusive 60 minute effort. Trouba, Lindgren, Kreider, can all gtfo. Mika is only save because he’s got us bent over a barrel.

Play Kakko at C as much as possible

 

[Leonardo87]

Who's off duty now, brown cow?

F it. We don’t need it. Lol.

 

[ReddestRum]

F it. We don’t need it. Lol.

Nope. GDT is a fine place for us to be negative nancies.

 

[tlk]

Mooo

Why didn’t the entitled group that was out there for the goalie pull change when it was clear they were all gassed and couldn’t move and the puck was dumped back to our end with like a minute left? Half of them could’ve changed at least, instead they all stay out there and have no energy to do anything and just chase or stand around. More accurately everyone just stood around and watched Laf and Fox chase everyone around.

Panarin is either sick or injured. He has no pop and is super sloppy. Kreider look incredibly lazy out there. Everyone is trying to be too fancy at all times forcing plays that aren’t there. PP2 was better than PP1. There’s a reason the bottom six has been more effective all season than the top 6, they play straight line simple hockey.

Trocheck looks bad too. Mika is basically back to okay but Trocheck is the weak link on that line right now.


That hand pass goal counting and then an almost identical play being called a hand pass in the third period in real time, as plays like that are 99% of the time, just highlights how insanely bad that good goal call was. That was a fine challenge by Laviolette despite the chorus in here blaming him. That was a play that is called a hand pass 99% of the time.
