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

[Machinehead]

Kind of insane.

Team is at 40% xGF 5v5.

Zibanejad and Chytil lines are winning the battle. Over 50% across the board all players. Ditto Fox and Lindgren.

The bottom of the lineup and other 2 D pairings are getting abused.

Miller-Trouba sucks crundle and always has.

Just gonna let you chew on that absolute fact.

 

[JHS]

Don’t give up youth for an over the hill player

Their youth is TERRIBLE! Outside of Igor and Miller this team has nothing but really underperforming young players.

Again- I laugh at all the “rebuild” posts when 90% of the bird also is saying the team can’t develop talent. I can’t be the only one who sees the incongruities here.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Really? So you’d like to watch this crap for the rest of the season and miss one of the only windows this team is gonna have? Dude you want a rebuild— THEY HAVE A NUMBER ONE AND NUMEBR TWO PICK THEY HAVE DESTROYED!

Please can this board at least make sense. An organization that can’t develop talent should attempt a rebuild. It’s laughable!!

Hate to break it to ya chief, but Patrick Kane aint changing the way this team plays. That would be a coaching issue.

 

[17futurecap]

Doesn't make it acceptable.

Of course not, lot of mistakes have been made.

 

[TominNC]

I bet Kravtsov is still scratched next game

He’s being Hajeked.

 

[haohmaru]

What's Mike Keenan doing?

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I bet Kravtsov is still scratched next game

This coach is all about developing young players.

 

[Kovalev27]

This might be one of those “don’t let your girlfriend get in the way of getting your future wife” scenarios. Trotz is the best coach in the league he’s avail and wants an original 6 job.

 

[Mandar]

100% serious. You guys think they have an unlimited window here- they don’t. The team has basically this year and maybe next before some huge decisions need to be made. They can’t waste this season waiting for Kappo to get his act together or Jones who will, at best be a fringe NHL talent. The time is now.

Calm down Mrs. Kane. At this time we have other pressing needs than to acquire your son. Appreciate your inquiry.

Pretty soon we may see our drafted players refuse to play for us. Ala Eric Lindros.

We really haven't destroyed them. They each just aren't as good as initially predicted.

 

[EdJovanovski]

 

[Kane One]

What's Mike Keenan doing?

Hopefully still coaching and stuck in Russia, making him not possibly able to come back to the Rangers.

 

[zukeisgone]

So We should have promoted Ruff

 

[Machinehead]

I don't think they're out of this game just yet.

I agree it hasn't been that bad. Frustrating and hilarious at the same time, but I would have signed up for this sans scoreboard.

 

[17futurecap]

Maybe it's better he takes his lumps, but Braden Schneider is an AHL player at this point, and he's being asked to carry a third pair at 21 years old.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Can they bring back Tom Renney. At least is good with younger teams. Sign Jagr and go from there

 

[LeetchisGod]

This season is utterly depressing.

This is almost too predictable

 

[Machinehead]

This is just scary.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Bill Pidto does the fastest 150 seconds in the National Hockey League.

The slowest 150 seconds in the National Hockey League is Lafreniere and Goodrow skating from center ice to the blueline.

Trailing 100 feet behind is Sammy Blais.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

this isn't on anyone. any player or coach. we don't have the ammo on our best day to deal with the speed the Devils have. there's nothing they can do, there's nothing most of the league can do right now either to be fair. this is a lot like how we looked against Carolina in the regular season last year.

Play the trap, have your defensemen focus on laying hits instead of contributing on offense, slap them if they still insist on poke-checking...

ENTER TROTZ!

And how sweet would it be to stick it to the icelanders fans if he could win it all here.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Well, I'm going to wake up screaming every night til I die.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

FIRE GERARD GALLANT.

ENOUGH.
