GDT: Game #30: New York Rangers @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 7pm ET, MSG

[RangersFan1994]

I’d rather have Edstrom over Brodzinski. I don’t get the Rangers love affair with AHL players. It’s not like Edstrom came from juniors, he came from a pro league and should be in the lineup.

 

[Kane One]

Martin Jones is our new Jimmy Howard

Holy shit I never noticed Howard’s splits against the Rangers.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I'm not mad... I take this kind of game and hope to get a few bounces.

yeah, didin't allow much.

Puck skills were horrible all around,
and "top" line was MIA as usual.

 

[gabevh3]

he hit the net!

From the side!

The ice looks especially bad tonight. Lots of bouncing pucks.

That's a good period of hockey. Can't complain about the start this week.

Brodzinski is a 13th forward, hard to complain about what's he been doing. Instead, imagine how good this team would look if our 1st line was simply producing like a 3rd line at even strength.

Bonino is worse than Reaves

 

[Boris Zubov]

Terrible shift by Fox

He's still not skating well. Defintely not 100% yet.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That was a good road period. It might have seemed boring to some, but that was high-end lunchpail hockey. Team knows not to f*** around against this Toronto forward group.

Definitely more entertaining than the defensive battle in the first period against Boston.

Right now he is an AHL player though.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Toronto only had 5 shots? damn

 

[ReddestRum]

nobody in the league scores goals completely on their own except maybe McDavid

I didn't mean it in the context of skating through 5 players for a goal, but someone confident enough to be a play driver in his own right. I'd rather be saying, "Damn, kid is skilled enough to give himself his own chances and missing, he'll get there" rather than blaming other players for him not getting points because he touched the puck on the play OR is just waiting for Panarin to feed him a no-doubter. If people aren't finishing plays he's involved in well it's on him to take matters into his own hands like you'll see from the NHL's best, eh?

Edstrom over Wheeler?

They missed the net a lot.

You’re debating syphilis vs gonorrhea meanwhile the teams icing full blown AIDS (Bonino/Goodrow)

Why do the Rangers love gritty guys with no offensive talent? Same mystery.

 

[Kovalev27]

It’ll be interesting what they do with Bonino if chytil gets back.

They really like this goodrow line as is do they replace Pitlick with Bonino? Probably but it will slow that line down

 

[mas0764]

Points aside I’d say this is the least impressive Fox season I’ve witnessed.

 

[TGWL]

Edstrom over Wheeler?

I can toss out a few more but the point still stands.

 

[gabevh3]

From the side!

Speaking of which anyone has that video? All I'm finding are movies from the side

 

[Profet]

Oh man that just hit home.

What does their first round drafting look like if Chytil is done... Sigh

 

[Kane One]

I think someone here once found it.

Most of our offensively talented guys are soft. They can't balance by player, so they need to balance across the lineup. Ideally you'd want guys possessing both.

 

[RangerLifer]

Overall that was a good road period.

 

[Profet]

So since they are talking about it...

How excited/tempered should I be about Gabe Perrault?
