GDT: Game 2: 10/14 - New York Rangers @ Columbus Blue Jackets - 7pm ET, MSG

[bleedblue94]

gustafsson is really ducking careless sometimes.

And that is why he has not been able to lock down a regular job. Has a ton of talent but he's a complete wildcard out there at times.

 

[CasusBelli]

Dipietro huh?

Some questionable goals tonight. Who better personifies that than ol’ Rick?

 

[Richard Banger]

Getting 2 goals taken away can really f*** with your flow of the game. It honestly looks like it to. Rangers are definitely the better team but unlucky bounces some bullshit from the NHL and missing your 2nd best Dman who is an anchor defensively will mess with the game too.

 

[effen]

no it's cool, and the baguette line remains a surprising and exciting positive as well

Columbus looking like a late stage AV team getting outplayed 70/30 overall but up 4-1 based off opportunism and a goalie.

I am not rustled.

 

[will1066]

Wheeler doing absolutely nothing

He's been ok. It's Trocheck

 

[Mandar]

Schneider is only 22. Shouldn’t he be on PP1 and playing over 23 minutes a game? Thought that’s how you are supposed to develop players.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Igor's not the reason for this tragedy but he sure as he'll not an asset this game. This is how he played most of last year. Ugh. We can't afford to get Vezina Igor in March again. This team is not good enough to win in spite its goaltending. Look how pathetic our offense is.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Can this team stop being mentally fragile when they face adversity. It's pretty pathetic and shows their character

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I've never been as frustrated as I am now

And you could have had a serving wench bringing you beer right now.

Good to see you back in form in game 2

 

[egelband]

I don't really see the gloom you guys do. We are kicking the shit out of them but can't score.

Yep. When a team gets bailed out like Columbus did in the first, they get momentum. It snowballs. Goalie now playing like a brick wall. Everything starts going in. Always the case. Vally talking about it now.

 

[BBKers]

Our Capitano and his 6 assistants (alternates, whatever) need to rah rah and step up

 

[ReddestRum]

I'm confused. Why are we blaming the NHL for our team going off-sides and for rules and challenges in place since forever?

Now that was an annoying period. Had some great chances but at times we really looked like last years team, especially in the D zone. Now that was an annoying period. Had some great chances but at times we really looked like last years team, especially in the D zone.

KK has looked pretty sluggish for the most part, and the Panarin line seemed to stop making crisp passes about halfway through

I have my biases but I really think Jones has been ok (certainly not great) outside of the two passes Schneider gave him that did him no favors at all. Schneider is ok until he's pressured down near the goal line, then he seems to panic and just get rid of the puck haphazardly (kind of like Roszival back in the day).

 

[mrmovies779]

I'll say it-Schneider sucks ass and was a terrible pick by Gorton and JD

So true, it's also true we have a LOT to clean up. But it's game 2 so hey ho.

 

[Guyute]

Return of the fancy boyzzzz

 

[will1066]

Columbus's entire existence tonight has been the counterpunch

 

[LeetchisGod]

Another concern is that I don't see our bottom six scoring much.

 

[CTTribe73]

Vally is NOT amused

 

[turcotte8]

Our 82-0 season is in serious jeopardy,

 

[RangersFan1994]

Do the Rangers really miss Lindgren? If this what it is like without him, pay him

 

[Richard Banger]

I'm confused. Why are we blaming the NHL for our team going off-sides and for rules and challenges in place since forever?

The rule has been in place for like 6ish years. No where close to forever. And everyone around the NHL complains about it. Worst thing they put in place in a long time

 

[will1066]

And you could have had a serving wench bringing you beer right now.

I know, right? And the paper crown.

 

[Machinehead]

Valiquette trumpeting a bunch of bullshit.

The second game of the season is not culture-defining.
