GDT: Game #27 New York Rangers vs Chicago Blackhawks 7:00 EST (MSGSN, NHL Network) [Berard vs Bedard]

[RangerLifer]

Every time Miller gets the puck, he passes to a player who is covered by at least two of the opposing team's players.

Another random goalie turning into Hasek against us.

And our Hasek had a Mike Dunham moment.

First time I watch a Bedard game … not impressed. When you say generational talent I think of a guy you notice every single shift, even as a rookie, let alone in his second year.

Yup agreed - he’ll be an all star but nowhere near generational

All Chicago has had to do is wait for Rongos to bumblef*** themselves then go the other way making fundamental 101 plays

 

[Harbour Dog]

He's best is very good but we are 5 season's in and still have no real idea what kind of player Laf will end up being

He was a dog last year and in the playoffs, and now he's floating around like most of the vets. We may end up as a case study for what happens when you put great young prospects perpetually in the backseat to a shitty lockerroom.

 

[RangerLifer]

Do we need an intermission break? They barely skated. Just start the 3rd.

That 2nd felt like an hour and half long.

 

[Machinehead]

I really wish someone can explain to me why this team under the exact same coaching staff and with an almost identical roster was one of the best passing teams in the league last season and this season somehow can’t string together more than one pass. Literally every single pass they make is in skates or it’s just off or it’s on the wrong hand. It’s like they literally lost their ability to pass up and down the lineup.

I can explain that: we didn't watch the same team last year.

 

[Boris Zubov]

So, not to keep being that guy, but Soderblom is outplaying Shesterkin by a margin

At least our guy set the new bar for the goalie market.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Can Mika get some allergy that has to keep him off the ice? Anything. Tired of watching this bum not even try or care

 

[RangerLifer]

Another random goalie turning into Hasek against us.

Every. Damn. Night.

 

[CasusBelli]

That 2nd felt like an hour and half long.

I’m actually sleepy from this.

 

[Mike in Houston]

This team is not fun to watch nor easy to root for.

 

[will1066]

4th line skated about a mile each on their shift in Chicago's end. Laf skated about 2 feet. He stood off to the left of the net with no angle and waited for 10 and 16 to pass it to him. He's really starting to tick me off.

Just waiting for someone to feed him like a spoiled brat

 

[mrmovies779]

Sell sell sell sell

 

[mike14]

Legitimately dislike most of the roster, can’t stand the way they play. I know it’s not going to happen but I would be absolutely fine with getting rid of everyone on the roster with a few exceptions.

Yup. There's no semblance of a 'team' at the moment. There some good players, but there's no cohesion and seemingly no shared vision.
I think I've reached the point where I don't care who they move, just make lots of moves

 

[CLW]

It's great that Lavi wants to play a faster game, hopefully he's in Drury's ear about acquiring players who can...

Eh, he has his wingers standing still by the red line for dump ins, or standing still at the offensive blue line for outlet passes. That removes the damn speed he wants out of the game. The speed game he is talking about is so damn out of date, nobody plays like that anymore.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Let's all hope the 3rd period gives us more of the Zibanejad and Miller Comedy show

 

[LeetchisGod]

Laf has regressed. Not moving his feet much.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

I refuse to believe that the loss of Barclay Goodrow impacted the team this much. They have zero intensity out there - none. Floating, puck watching. They literally don’t care about anything. The only guys who are giving max effort are Mancini, Cuylle, and the 4th line.

 

[RangerLifer]

HANK!

 

[Boris Zubov]

Sell sell sell sell

 

[LeetchisGod]

There is a general laziness that seems to infect this roster like a virus.

I love that movie.

 

[Bob Richards]

I dunked on Lafreniere for years for sucking eggs and he finally made me eat crow last season. Enough to turn me into a zealot fanboy.

Now he stinks again. I've been had for the last time. I will not allow this insult to continue. I'm going to send Lafreniere a bill for the t-shirt with his name on it that I bought from the NHL store.

 

[ReddestRum]

Igor made some big ones. Could be down by 2 or more.
