GDT: Game 27 - New York Rangers vs St. Louis Blues - 7pm EST, MSG, NHLN

[Machinehead]

I'm not going to pretend Halak is the only problem, but when we have a back-to-back, why does he start Halak 2/3 games?

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Feels like we've had the Blues for two months.

 

[Hire Sather]

There was a Rangers Blues game in 2008 that saved the season

Start Vali tonight.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Buchnevich 5 points and a fight against Blais tonight

Yes, but Blais wins the fight!

Whats the difference? He got a W the first game. Igor couldn't manage a win. I dont think the results would be any different the other way around.

The difference is they're consistently playing their backup twice in three-game stretches for no reason and I would like them to stop doing that.

Chytil just cannot stay healthy. Such a shame because hes a good player who actually drives the net and plays with speed

No wonder he can't break into the top six. That's not what we taught him to do!

 

[Kravtsov420]

That buffoon, STILL not changing the power play or vets in the top six. Disgraceful.

 

[McRanger92]

To be fair he was paying in the top 6 when he was injured, but it was with Panarin so he was required to force the puck to him at all times

With decisions like that, it looks like GG is begging to be fired.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Vince is a man of the people , grilling GG on his boneheaded lineup decisions. GG’s response will make you want to throw your phone thru your tv though.

our metrics suck... just like the rest of our coaching/directors

I'm sure they use Clear Analytics from Vally but even he, says we're playing like shit.

I'd honestly offer him a high position in the org. His voice would be

 

[Shesterkybomb]

They sure cared a lot last Spring with multiple series comebacks. Same group of players.

Not exactly the same team...Strome, Copp, Vatrano, Rooney missing.

we still sucked at 5v5 in the playoffs. 'Suck' is a generous term as well.

that's always over looked.

It was a miracle run though.

 

[DialUp]

Team needs to be win tonight (and like, the next 14 games after). Hope they go on ANY kind of streak though, because this year feels like the Son of the Dark Ages and I hated the original.

That's the second time Gallant has done that this season, too.

 

[romba]

Everyone acts like the cure-all for Igor is rest. The more he rests the more superhuman he gets. Ef that, he's struggled this year and they've rested him more than ever. Let him string a bunch of games in a row to see if he can find his mojo again.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yes, but Blais wins the fight!

We traded a 1st liner in Buch for a 4th line goon to get tougher just for that goon to get beat up by Buch knowing our luck lol

Best forward we’ve developed out of the draft since Kreider too.

 

[cheech70]

it is shocking to see how low we rank in the nhl in most team aggregate stats. i know a dip is expected when a team is struggling but we are approaching bottom quarter of the league in most of those aggregates

So our eyes are not lying

 

[EdJovanovski]

He's way better than Kreider imo

 

[Daves a mess]

Bread and Kravy cracking Russian knock knock jokes on the bench.

Buch puts up a 4 pt night. 2 goals 5 hole on Igor.

Meeka puts sad face emojis on the tablet he shares with Kreids.

Blais on the second PP unit because you know, he was on the Blues.

Middle of the ice doesn't need resurfacing in Blues end, so Zamboni only has half a job.

Berube beats up Gallant 107 out of 100 scraps.

Hajak gets smashed 3 times is a minus 3 but did clear the puck over the bluekine into the stands once. So, yay.

Kaapo dresses, but his best shift is in warmups. But most importantly, doesn't give AF.

Laf tries to stick handle over the blieline but gets undressed more times than Kravstov does with Ed Jovos eyes.

Jordan Binnington makes angry faces at the Rangers at puck drop, and the whole Ranger bench immediately starts to smell like poop.

KAM with a couple of nice poke checks, but is going on a double date with KK so " hurry the fuk with this hockey shit".

Fox stares at ceiling.

Lindgren bleeds.

Trouba breaks helmets.

Chytil obviously not playing. And if he is, 4 nice shifts, then earlobe strain.
