GDT: Game 30 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST - MSG,NHLN

[RangersFan1994]

What upsets me that these so called leaders can’t even get emotionally into a rivalry game. they look flat and it’s pathetic.

 

[Machinehead]

"Looks like the Rangers need a shot of adrenaline"

Why is this the prevailing theme with this team since the dawn of time?

Because they rip ass at offense since the dawn of time.

There's no life if you can't move the puck.

 

[Filip Chytil]

I just want NHL level puck movement.

WHY IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?

Why is everything so sloppy and uncoordinated

Time to hire Pavel Barber as the skills coach

 

[duhmetreE]

I honestly consider hiring Brunette as Head Coach.

He has modern day NHL DNA. Along with a Jacques Martin or something

 

[ReddestRum]

I wish Laf would show that kind of intensity winning board battles.

 

[CasusBelli]

Were we this bad and just lucky out west? Looks like the Ottawa / Chicago performances all over again.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Enough vets. 4v4 GG can’t get Kreider and Mika together fast enough. Panarin and Tro next. The Devils are good cause they let their kids develop. Why don’t we give it a try?

 

[CLW]

I love Laffy, but sometimes it really bugs me how poor he is at getting the puck up the ice at times.

The whole team is. They've even managed to get worse this season.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

There is sadly not much we can do with this core for the next 2 years. Hopefully we can be smart and hold onto most of our picks because we need a big infusion of speed, hockey IQ, and talent.

 

[CasusBelli]

I honestly consider hiring Brunette as Head Coach.

He has modern day NHL DNA. Along with a Jacques Martin or something

I’d try Scotty Bowman’s cousin’s goldfish over this.

 

[NYRKING30]

Jack Hughes m six minute shift The other night is more combined minutes than Lafreniere has on the power-play for his entire career.

Truer words have never been spoken

 

[will1066]

They used de-aging technology on Lindgren?

 

[Deleted member 23124]

It really is, they don't seem to understand what makes teams successful in the modern NHL.

Rangers have always tried to build from the top down as opposed to the other 31 teams who build from the bottom up.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Go get me Bo Horvat

I’d take Bo Jackson at this rate….

 

[duhmetreE]

kid line is back LOL

desperation

 

[bleedblue94]

our leaders shit the bed at the beginning of the game.... dont know why everyone's flat

We say this for virtually every game. Anybody that tries to argue that there isn't any issue with the core of this team needs a reality check

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Kakko is my boy and it doesn’t really matter cause the Rangers are incapable of developing a star forward, but my god would it be nice to have Jack Hughes

 

[rangersfansince08]

Good teams are built on centers and defense. Not wingers and goaltending.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Goodrow on the top line lmao

 

[duhmetreE]

I'm tired of this

 

[Kords]

Aaaaaaaaand theirs the line change. Get this guy out of NY

 

[Atax]

lol kid line back. Gallant is so predictable.

 

[LokiDog]

It can’t even be the coach at this point.

It’s like the core carries over their bad habits in practice regardless of the coach. The new guys learn from the old guys and everything stays the same.

I’ve always said that the organization is “too first rate” in terms of pampering and pandering to their players and that it breeds a country club atmosphere. Even during the Callahan years when we were an all will hockey team that worked harder than other teams, we suffered from flat out awful starts and periods where we were just lifeless.

And the team simply cannot move the puck at the same caliber of the best teams in the league, no matter what personnel we have. Zuccarello is a nice player, but he’s not irreplaceable. Watch Zucc, Kaprizov and Hartman move the puck. Bratt, Hischier and Sherangovich or Tatar. It doesn’t matter what trio we put on the ice - they cannot smoothly move the puck.

 

[Machinehead]

So are we still pretending that this team's lack of willingness to penetrate the house isn't an issue?

Or are we finally going to start moving on to acceptance so we can find a solution. If anybody wants to try to defend it as the style that the team plays then you're only confirming the fact that the team's style and mind frame are big issues...

The whole thing is how we approach it. We don't penetrate because our offense does precisely f*** all to move anyone out of position.

Adding grit is only going to make it worse. Goodrow is "willing" and was supposed to be part of correcting it.

It's gotten worse because we keep adding slow ass plugs with no ability.

Were we this bad and just lucky out west? Looks like the Ottawa / Chicago performances all over again.

Vegas was OK, colorado they got killed vs half of their team but Igor was great.
