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

[Raspewtin]

this group of players is legit stupider than dog shit

I don't love that drop pass from Berard but Vesey absolutely should've had that and he let it go right past him.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

As long as Trouba is on this team and playing we are going nowhere.

that is solveable
15 team NTC

Zibanejad has a buyout-proof full NMC contract through 2030

So instead of taking lindgren or tubs out, we spread out the awfulness into 2 defensive pairings. All I see is lindgren playing like ass and can’t keep up with the play and tubs looks like he needs to retire as usual.

Get these two scrubs off our defense.

Trade tubs, lindgren, krieder, zibs. f***ing anchors

To me it seems they're doing it on purpose

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Hearing that guitar guy singing commercial while the team is playing this bad

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Will the moderators allow a fire Lavi thread yet?

 

[DialUp]

I called that dog a long time ago. Everyone thought I was being irrational.

I was fooled!

 

[bleedblue94]

The faster Drury does something, the better this team gets out of this funk. The longer he waits, the uglier this can get

Do what? What is the move? You think other teams are looking to help him right now? Haha

Any move he makes right now is from a position of weakness where teams will try to take advantage of the nyr mess.

 

[SML2]

As if this game hasn't been humiliating enough, they run the guitar nerd commercial.

 

[DialUp]

Will the moderators allow a fire Lavi thread yet?

Not before we are allowed a "this is a bad hockey team" thread

 

[mrmovies779]

Will we get a shot this period?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Laviolette deserves better. He should quit for his stress level. Rest of the players. He should quit on the players

 

[Captain Lindy]

I called that dog a long time ago. Everyone thought I was being irrational.

Miller sometimes shows signs of real talent, but something doesn't click with him. He might be a head case.

 

[Kakko]

This is a team playing to get their coach fired. Again.
Except they seem to have missed the part where management, ownership, fans, and media are all done with their bullshit.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

What he say? At work and missing the shitshow

Just about how terribly they've been playing. Not usually what we hear out of him.

 

[Raspewtin]

hahaha that puck goes right up the boards, totally winnable, and that f***ing waste of life Mika skates away to the neutral zone. while Trouba pinches. can't f***ing make this up.

 

[Crease]

This is a bad hockey team.

 

[EdJovanovski]

You would think after the GM threatens to trade everyone a team would band together and come out with a fire. No they have no guts. And to anyone blaming Laviolette all NHL coaches are the same, it’s on the players.

I don’t agree all coaches are the same but I do think the problem is the players. Lavi is one of the harder coaches in the league and isn’t he one of the winningest of all time? And has won a cup. The only coach I could see getting something different out of this group is Torts or Keenan. How old is Keenan these days? Maybe he can come out of retirement to save us

 

[RangersFan1994]

Will we get a shot this period?

Nope. The players quit because it got too hard. Soft mentally. That has to change. It wont mess with Drury’s weekend

 

[Fataldogg]

I'm on Natural Stat Trick. How do they calculate expected goals for?

Right now it says the Flyers expected goals for is 0.74. But scoring chances are 10-0, and high danger chances are 5-0. How does that make sense? By that metric, Shesterkin shouldn't have let up a goal yet.

 

[bleedblue94]

Even the guy between the benches commented on how quiet they are on the bench, sitting with their heads hung down and slumped over. Definitely positive signs (NOT!!!!)

They are defeated and this is where on years past players like calli, dubi, prust, boyle, would be the ones to push the team out with some grind and push back. This team doesn't have that.

Laviolette deserves better. He should quit for his stress level. Rest of the players. He should quit on the players

lavy sucks too. We know what his teams are like after one year. It’s the same as gallant. We should have kept knobs

 

[duhmetreE]

I just want to see a team

Look like a ducking team

 

[Kords]

Damn, wanted them to go shotless

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Flyers fans might regularly lick batteries, but they were right to Bronx cheer that.

 

[Siddi]

YAAAAAY

Shot on goal

f*** ME!
