GDT: Game 23 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST, MSG

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers need to get quicker. One of the slower teams in the league considering they are not big. That is a big issue here.

Gotta admit a COL - NJ final would be damn entertaining.

how dare you

 

[Boris Zubov]

This team is allergic to board battles.

Contact in general.

 

[zukeisgone]

We play with no urgency…..we are too cool to skate hard

 

[Kords]

Not terrible. This game was never gonna be a walk in the park. Need a better Defensive effort and this is winnable.

 

[RangersFan1994]

We play with no urgency…..we are too cool to skate hard

They are just slow

 

[Machinehead]

We played a good team pretty close

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

If we just didn’t have Trouba, we’d be fine.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Vanecek did not look like himself in that period, to be honest.

 

[rangersfansince08]

We're in this game

the rangers are participants yes but not any threat to win the game

 

[Unpredictable1]

Man o man was that ever a big time miss of a hit by Trouba on Nico. I'm embarrassed for him.

 

[bobbop]

Kreider with an outstanding first period

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Hope Trouba catches a deflected puck in his crotch. f***ing loser.

 

[haveandare]

Seemed to be less pass obsessed than usual overall, though Panarin trying to force that one on the 2 on 1 was just ridiculous.

Gotta get that first pass cleanly out of our own zone more regularly but otherwise they’re ok and in this.

 

[RGY]

This team hemorrhages high danger chances. Its out of this world unbelievable. Way worse than last year. And the defenders are regressing. Miller looks awful. Trouba is somehow worse. Jones not getting better in his own end. Murphy needs to f***ing go.

 

[zlev]

we missed our window

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Trouba-Miller are so f***ing bad this season it’s crazy. Like it’s as if they’re both AHL level guys. Literally can’t even make simple easy plays.

And Igor looks horrible. Those were two very stoppable goals and he’s had a few routine shots that make you hold your breath for a second because he seems like he’s late.

Yet ANOTHER multi goal lead blown. It’s pathetic at this point. The Devils barely even had to earn it.

 

[Daves a mess]

So is this gonna be the new theme? Blowing leads every night?

This is just f***ing brutal

Mentally soft teams have done this for decades.

Toss into this shit salad that the #1 and #2 OA's are rounding out into 30 pt players with little creativity and vision.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Kreider with an outstanding first period

He and Zibanejad both very engaged and stepping up to bat. Great to see.

Trouba's trying out there but if he's this injured, Drury needs to make a trade and sit this guy because he's brutal.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Just piling on at this point but WOOF Trouba

 

[DanielBrassard]

The Rangers have no idea what to do in their own zone, let alone the neutral zone and offensive zone. This is coaching. Fire them all.

They must be the only team in the NHL who has two forwards creeping around the crease at all times. It's why they always move the puck back to the point. Looking for deflections, rebounds, tips. Where is the pass from down low to the slot area?

 

[rangersfansince08]

we had a one year window

 

[DialUp]

This reminds me of the Theo Fluery days. No, please, quit.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Btw I don’t think even his biggest haters wouldn’t expected Trouba to look this bad after being named captain. There’s not an injury that can excuse it for me, not unless it’s a lobotomy.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

NYR are so slow with the puck. Can't even break out.
