GDT: Game 30: New York Rangers @ The Blue Notes, 6pm ET , MSG

[WhereO Is Kakko]

clown coach - deserved the L

 

[RangersFan1994]

Berard and Cuylle should have gotten ice time when the goalie was pulled

 

[LionsHeart]

This franchise never rewards its youth.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Fire Drury

 

[LORDE]

Is the NHL the only league with a hard cap?
I think teams from other leagues can pay more as long as they’re willing to pay a penalty?

MLB I think has a lux tax

NFL no guaranteed contracts

But in the end... you're a hockey player. McDavid, Bread & Shesty make A LOT

Hank did also.

Cuyle & the like won't.

It's the way it is.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

13:04 TOI for Mika and that still felt like I saw him too much lol

 

[ReddestRum]

Zib can't even hit the net when he's on the circles, but he's bombing them from the point wide now. Sure.

 

[Machinehead]

They always do this. The kids get them back in the game and then when it's within one, he puts the old gasbags out on the ice the play catch on the perimeter for two and a half minutes.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Good effort, guys. I mean us, stickin with this game.

Because of guys like Fox. Let's play perimeter catch!

Kakko didn't play and I feel the same way.

 

[17futurecap]

And then never change, so they are all dead and can’t get the puck back once its cleared.

 

[gabevh3]

If you look at his career you and have watched him, have you ever seen the same player post COVID? I think people forget how dominant Mika was prior to COVID.

Almost forgot about that. Didn't he get it twice?

 

[hackeyman]

Fire Drury

It should be the obvious decision by now.

 

[Bob Richards]

That's NHL coach brain for you lol.

Its simply satanic for them to do otherwise.

 

[huerter]

I was sitting next to a scout at UBS during preseason and Laf took that exact shot on the PP with no traffic and I said to the scout, "fans actually want to break up PP1 for him". We laughed. Wasn't so funny tonight though.

 

[Machinehead]

Because of guys like Fox. Let's play perimeter catch!

Well, out of the defensemen...

At the very least, roll a couple of units. Kreider and Zibanejad are not clicking to the point where we need to have them play the last 2:31, to say the least.

 

[bleedblue94]

Throughout my adult life I’ve done some work for Unions during contract negotiations and the skilled work groups would lose their minds over the unskilled groups making a livable wage. The skilled group felt that they were taking less in income and benefits to subsidize the unskilled group.
In the NHL there appears to be an opposite effect.
There is a finite amount to be divided amongst the players. The Stars take the lions share at the expense of the rest of the group. There are players aged 26 and up who need to uproot themselves and their families every year at less than desirable wages.
So I can only imagine when a player demands that much of the pie, which then causes the organization to move out respected veteran leadership it may bring out resentment whether warranted or not.

It's about to get worse. As the cap goes up that new money is going to the upper level players and the mid to low players will continue to get paid around what they are now. This is going to be a pa issue to manage over the next few years.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Berard and Cuylle were the 2 biggest dogs on pucks sitting on the bench in the final 3 minutes and it's only a game because of them.

Wonder why Lav only has 1 cup ring?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

What’s the record now since the memo

that shot was fine though. it was low and hard and kreider was there for the rebound.

 

[bleedblue94]

Almost forgot about that. Didn't he get it twice?

He had a documented struggle with long covid. That was also specific issue with a certain part of his body due to it

 

[Mike in Houston]

Homegrown Ranger has become the villain. Sad.

 

[Mosby]

What’s the record now since the memo

3-8-0.

 

[ArPanet]

Rangers definition of rewarding young guys is trading them.
