GDT: Game 19 - New York Rangers vs Boston Bruins - 1 pm ET, MSG, NHLN

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

This thing is far from over. This 3rd is going to show a lot about this Rangers team.

Game's not over. Come back to me in an hour.

You think these being the good times depends on the outcome of one game in November? Nope. We are first in the metro missing our Norris winning defenseman and our Vezina winning goalie isn’t himself yet. Today doesn’t matter. Still plenty to enjoy.

 

[DialUp]

If we’re being honest with ourselves he was NEVER built for NYC

What does that even mean?

 

[LOFIN]

I’d trade him for zucc

I'd trade Kakko for McDavid but that's not realistic either. So what a f***ing moronic suggestion by you.

3rd line next week

Just to come back to this. Why are some of you so eager to trade him while his value is really low. And for what? I get that he's frustrating as f*** right now, but get real. He's not going away. The Rangers are going to give him time, they can afford it. He's going to stay with the team. What happens in the offseason, now that's a different story because he needs a new contract.

All this said, something needs to be done. I'm not saying healthy scratch him, but I'm not saying don't do it either. A message needs to be sent. I'm probably the biggest Kakko defender on HFNYR, and his play has been awful this season. Last year was pretty good points wise considering his deployment, and pre-season was promising. I have no idea what has happened, he looks so lost out there.

Value is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I’d trade him for zucc

LOL I would trade Gordie Howe for Zooks

 

[bhamill]

Zero chance. He’s a year older. He’s getting worse. He cannot skate at all. He looks easier to push off the puck and has never had the jam to get to the net that laf has.


At most kakko is a 45 50 pt guy and that’s only if he gets out of here. If we’re being honest with ourselves he was NEVER built for NYC

I’d trade him for zucc

I would not. If you’re certain getting Zucc this year all but guarantees a Cup, I can see it. Otherwise it’s a bad trade.

3rd line next week

Put wheeler on the third line with Kakko and Cuylle.


Put Chytil on the first line wing.

Chytil ain't bad at puck retrieval and can skate with Kreider and Zib.

Wheeler and Kakko both skate at the same "speed".

 

[Cmox]

Dave Maloney seems way healthier these days.

Ofcourse. Boston has only lost 2 regulation games all season. This board sometimes forgets there are a lot of good talented teams in the NHL. I'm very happy with where we are so far this season.

 

[LOFIN]

Value is in the eye of the beholder.

First off, let's assume there is team out there that still views Kakko as a potential superstar. Why would they pay a high price for him when basically everyone else views him as damaged goods?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

pls Rongos no turtle

 

[IDvsEGO]

What does that even mean?

I usually assume that statement is a not veiled dog whistle towards Europeans.

 

[Greg02]

Also that flat Bruins logo looks dumb.

 

[Kocur26]

When you take the lead on the Bruins, they come out like you have the audacity to think you can play with us… They come at you with fury and fire.
They throw their way around they chop your sticks they play angry.

This game is far far from over expect an onslaught.

 

[Synergy27]

Proud of these guys. What they have done with Fox out of the lineup has been amazing today’s result notwithstanding.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Would be huge to not give up a goal seconds into the period in typical Rongos fashion and go from there. Baby steps

Why is Giannone's mole moving?

 

[effen]

LOL I would trade Gordie Howe for Zooks

Me too. He's dead.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Why is Giannone's mole moving?

He's really into whack-a-mole.

 

[mike14]

Why is Giannone's mole moving?

Heading south for the winter...

 

[bhamill]

What does that even mean?

It means he doesn’t like KK. Pretty much nothing else. Hockey is hockey no matter the city. A player may have a preference for off ice life (or lower taxes), or might have certain distractions, which isn’t the case for KK, but once you’re on the ice It doesn’t matter much.

 

[Ail]

Biggest period of the season.
