GDT: Game 22: New York Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers, 1pm ET, MSG2

[Leonardo87]

It’s still early the game but gotta get at least 1 back this period.

 

[gabevh3]

2 options left.. change about half the team or the coaching staff.

This may be the straw if they don’t come back in this one

Heads down on the Rangers bench. Wow they are pathetic mentally. Drury built this woe is me attitude feel sorry for me. #firedrury

 

[Boris Zubov]

What other options does he have? blame Drury. Why hasn’t the Rangers got much young depth on defense that can actually have promise like Schneider

He can not force feed him top pair minutes. Lindgren should be stapled to the third pair with Tuba.

 

[Bob Richards]

We should fire Laviolette.

I'm sure the 4th coach we will try with this same exact core will get it done. If not we can always give them a 5th or 6th coach.

 

[Fataldogg]

I don't get it. 2 wins away from the Cup Finals and now Drury is probably going to send a new letter to fans saying it's time for a full rebuild... after they just drafted Lafreniere and Kakko at #1 and #2, we're lifted Fox, Shesterkin, etc.

 

[ReddestRum]

9-0 in shots.

2 options left.. change about half the team or the coaching staff.

So the players have the right to get every coach fired. Pathetic

 

[jniklast]

Will we get more shots this period than the Flyers goals?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I just can’t with Miller…

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I know this is an irrelevant question but why isn't Torts wearing a suit? I thought you had to.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I miss Gorton

 

[DolansKazoo]

It's 1:21pm and I just poured the strongest vodka and soda I've ever had. Thanks Rangers!

Trade Fox for a 1C

You would only get a 2c with his awful 5v5 play. People blame lindgren, then Miller, soon the next excuse will be his next partner. His skating is getting worse and it is impacting his 5v5 game more. His game is predicated on head fakes just like his pp QB play. Neither is working. Wonder why, actually I'm not wondering...

 

[DialUp]

Lavi didnt really do anything wrong or against the players personally right? This has to be a response against Drury if anything. They are playing without any personal pride it feels. At this rate they can't trade these players, would have to just release them. no one would take them in the state they are in except for like, Columbus.

 

[duhmetreE]

Do we not practice anymore?

 

[CLW]

On 1st goal, Smith was standing right next to Brink at the Flyer blue line. Made no effort to skate with him.

Saw that. Infuriating. The vets especially are checked out to a man. Fox is checked out. The coaches are checked out. Wtf happened during preseason? Also Drury shat the office with the failure to move Trouba and Lindgren. Now he will have to bring out the guillotine to save his job if it can be saved.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Not true. We keep managing symptoms when the root cause is obvious. Why did 2 coaches feel like there was no captain? Maybe because we have beta leaders. Zero commitment to anything resembling a team game.

fluke runs on the back of elite gosltending. Team hasn’t been good since 2013-14.

Well ya either that or replace them

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The overall lack of effort is astounding on average plays. Just brutal. Even that pass by fox to edstrom was a shit pass bc Fox just threw it with no focus.

Everyone is to blame.

There are few players who are giving it their all.

And Igor is in the net getting left out to dry bailing out his teammates left and right but if he makes a mistake it’s amplified

Lindgren and Miller are really really bad though. Look at all the other top D in the league, they are all playing with a serviceable partner.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

All my teams suck right now.

I’ve resorted to hate watching.

Merry Christmas season I guess.

You have today and tomorrow. If they get pumped both days then something is going to happen in the wake.
