GDT: Game # 30 Rangers @ Capitals 03/20/2021 - 7pm EST - MSG

[CasusBelli]

Knoblauch is pretty much coaching like Quinn would.

These are moves Quinn would make to try and save his job trying to grab points

Well, yeah, he’s not going to change the MO.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Maybe they need to feed Laf and Kakko more Manwich for their development

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Caps adjusted, scored and are taking it to us... how do we counter? How do we adjust?

OH... we don't

we adjust to last night by not giving up another near immediate goal.

 

[Cmox]

Chytil is the only one who will take shots. Keep him and make him stronger

 

[Rempe73]

A first and second overall defensive specialists in the making yay

There’s almost no doubt in my mind that Howden had more skill in him before Quinn. Man I hope the same doesn’t happen to Kakko and Lafreniere.

 

[Fitzy]

Guys Kakko wasn’t demoted.
Lemieux was benched and he filled in

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I’m extremely confused by it. Are we being shrouded by Wilson propaganda?

I have a feeling MSG tells Sam and Joe to be positive regardless of team. They're the anti-Edwards.

 

[Tob]

People are surprised and resistant to the idea that our generational forward talent are sucking and being stifled when they've watched Howden play the last 80 games as a Ranger while putting up ECHL offense at a 0.12 points per game pace but continues to be rewarded and used on multiple lines for 14-16+ minutes a night. This is what Quinn loves. Howden is his greatest work as an NHL coach. This is the program Kakko, Lafreniere, and Chytil are on. It's not Brett's fault. I don't want to pile on this very nice person and player that works hard. Quinn's program for our young forwards is nothing short of a complete disaster. It's a miracle Kakko even has 4 points on the season.

 

[Crease]

Is Kakko being demoted or double shifted? Both are believable possibilities.

 

[Ori]

lol kakko demoted

 

[LORDE]

we adjust to last night by not giving up another near immediate goal.

I guess I wanted more (shrugs)

 

[RGY]

Lemmy gets benched but how is Howden still playing?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Is Kakko being demoted or double shifted? Both are believable possibilities.

Rangers with one of their famous "Quantum Third Periods"

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He wasn't.

 

[Cmox]

I have a feeling MSG tells Sam and Joe to be positive regardless of team. They're the anti-Edwards.

I can bet my house were the only team to not have homer announcers.

 

[LOFIN]

Guys Kakko wasn’t demoted.
Lemieux was benched and he filled in

Which is obviously kinda nice in the way that he is trusted a checking defensive role. Imagine that having only watched him last year?

 

[Black Aces]

Lemmy gets benched but how is Howden still playing?

if there was any doubt quinn is calling the shots

 

[MetalJaws]

Laf and Kakko better take Monster leaps next year. What awful rookie and sophomore seasons.

 

[NYR]

I’m extremely confused by it. Are we being shrouded by Wilson propaganda?

He has an impact in every game he plays.
Wish he was on our team!

 

[GAGLine]

Great pass by Kakko.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Gauthier in for Lemieux next game, I guess. I swear if either one of them could just stop taking penalties, they'd be a fixture in the lineup.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Lafreniere is such garbage.

 

[Leonardo87]

Nice shift by the kids line.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

good chance

If Kakko was traded now I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he put up 50+ points next season.
