GDT: Game #24 NJ Devils @ NY Rangers 7pm eastern MSG/MSGS/NHLN

[qwertyaas]

I wouldn't be against Devils winning 13-1. Completely embarrass them and make Drury actually do something that might ruin his weekend.

 

[CasusBelli]

I wonder if Igor is just counting the money down after each goal and is mentally done now.

He realized he can make more money betting against himself on a league min contract than playing hard for a league max contract.

 

[Boris Zubov]

this team can't even sell right.

we sold and got utter shit for half the moves. I'm still mad about the McD trade.

Well deserved shit. That McDonagh trade sucked the second Gorton agreed to add Miller. f*** him.

 

[17futurecap]

Has a coach ever been fired during a game?

He’s trying to wait out the Pens firing Sullivan first.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

100% exactly what we all knew would happen tonight. Big changes come after a loss like this.

 

[NYR94]

If there were ever a time for Kravtsov to descend from the rafters...

 

[DuneGoon84]

If this game doesn't result in changes i don't know what will. This product is putrid. Drury hoodwinked Sather and the owner.

 

[n8]

I wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened in the room here

You don't go from the presidents trophy to this

They aren't actually this bad, this shit is pretty crazy

Sports psychology tells us that when you lose in a big game, your team culture can shift from "playing to win" to "playing to not lose." Getting dunked on by the Devils in 2023 gave the team a bit of a chip to prove themselves. Getting outplayed and outmuscled by Florida in 2024 after a President's Trophy? I think they really just folded in on themselves. Not showing up when they need to the most. The lack of physical and mental resilience to fight through the negatives to reap the positives. In a game of microseconds, those deficiencies can be a killer. That is my theory.

Time for Drury to call out the other GMs about the lack of trade offers.
"I put out the memo thinking that other GMs would want to change up their teams as well, there's a lot of under performing teams out there. I guess I misread the situation and all other teams in the league think they are traveling just fine..."

Yes...Rempe is on his way up. Bye bye, Chad.

 

[zlev]

unfortunately its going to be Laviolette fired instead of Drury

Dolan is weird with the GMs he likes but he is definitely justified to fire Drury

Always thought we’d at the very least make it to the cup finals again in this build.

Not after the team imploded against NJ in the playoffs. That's when the retool/rebuild should have started. The kid line being the best line in the playoffs the year before that was another huge alarm bell that the core is not good enough.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Buchy

 

[Daves a mess]

Where's Dave Maloney?

I want to see honest rage.

 

[gabevh3]

They always suck at special event nights.

Yup. Automatic loss...most of the time anyway

 

[Captain Lindy]

Always thought we’d at the very least make it to the cup finals again in this build.

Even "the letter" didn't even toy with the idea of winning a cup. They promised to be "cup contenders". When the Vegas Golden Knights first played, the Las Vegas owner said they'd win a cup within five years. They did it. Rangers didn't even pretend to be shooting for the cup. They are LOSERS.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Vally taking the edge off, "like they know they can"

bro YOUR metrics are the ones that put s bottom 10 in rush defense for 5 years running,

 

[Profet]

If you buy your pet goose an Audi in army green... You may be out of touch.

 

[Filip Chytil]

People paid $ to see this. Lotsa grouches on the beer line tonight.

This team has shown that:

A. They're not good enough

and

B. They don't give a shit

Why people continue to pay to see this is beyond me

 

[qwertyaas]

Found a live picture of Igor right now.

 

[gabevh3]

Watching Hamilton on Broadway...

He always had a better shot than fox... And he's a better skater.

 

[Daves a mess]

Laf has been carrying his new paychecks in his Hockey pants.

 

[Captain Lindy]

You're reminding me of ANOTHER horrible Drury trade.
