GDT: Game 33 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 12:30 pm ET , MSG (Mod note: last GDT was assimilated, Resistance is futile)

[TheGortonConspiracy]

was shocked to see Mika cut to the middle like that

then he decides to pass into the far corner on the PP afterwards. facepalm

 

[Boris Zubov]

I've been saying this since the turk days. The rangers are not on the upper end of NHL conditioning and fitness.

You haven't been alone. Plenty of us have been beating this drum.

 

[bleedblue94]

Upper end? Id be surprised if they were outside of the bottom 20%.

Completely agree but I'm trying not to be too negative

 

[lakeshirts37]

Or aren't able to develop players, Robertson was one of the best dmen in the western hockey league and now can't make the team

doesnt really mean anything - he’s not an NHL defenseman. end of story

 

[17futurecap]

Drury should be doing everything he can to get out of that Kreider contract as soon as possible.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

And I’ve been telling you guys for three years half of this team is allergic to working out. Mika used to work out with Kreider and stopped once he got married.

Aren't players expected to be in some kind of peak form before training camp starts?

I saw the photos of OV this summer and either:

A.) He busted his ass to get slimmer, or;

B.) He got a pallet of Ozempic and meth.

Home is where the horrors are. Another game they are mailing in.
Love watching Panarin floating towards the boards to lose a puck battle while his teammates on the ice for 2 plus minutes.

Also Kreider skills seem to be eroding. Need to get something decent for him.

Haven't been watching much lately. Turn it on for 10 minutes to see them pinned in their own zone for an eternity. Followed by Lav STILL throwing KK, Mika, and Trocheck over the boards for the PP.

I've never seen such a scared p***y for a coach.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Need some Rempe

 

[94leetch]

So far, I'm beginning to be thankful I have work tomorrow and I won't be able to watch this team.

I'll second that

 

[Atax]

Glad I went for a drive and missed that period.

do whatever it takes that is not happening here with this team. You would think the way they got embarrassed in that second period The hurricanes are the team that are out of the playoffs and desperate to get back in it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I can't wait for 8 more years of Igor carrying us.

#Hockey is different here.

The idea that he carries the team is so far fetched. Yeah for some stretches and in other stretches he's as bad as anyone. Don't need to look too far just the last game between these two teams.

 

[will1066]

Then why even play the games? Losing mentality

You play to win the game. I didn't say you need to play well

 

[bl02]

The last time the Rangers played with that kind of relentlessness, Torts was coach.

He made everyone work.

not happening at the country club especially at home. No way they can put that kind of work in for more than 20 minutes.

 

[Jack Hanson]

If Rempe was playing we'd be pushing them around. Shifting the tempo, keeping them on their heels. I love that big goofy bastid.

 

[BBKers]

That was not good. A relapse. But it is not easy to play against the Canes and the officials. Total horseshit that really affects the game. Tipping the ice by calling every Ranger call but missing at least 5 pretty blatant calls that had affect on play sucks the wind outta you. And Carolina is a very good team.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

f***ing Mika...shoot the puck idiot.

Worthless sack of shit

 

[gabevh3]

Drury should be doing everything he can to get out of that Kreider contract as soon as possible.

And lindgren and fox and eventually mika

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

watching waiting for my flight to board, will this be a W or L in 3rd period?

You're misinterpreting if you think I'm in favor of this. I hate the fact that this team's strategy is simply to ice a middling roster & rely on the star goalie.

Regardless...he's far & away our best player which was more of my point.

 

[bleedblue94]

You play to win the game. I didn't say you need to play well

So play not well, but play to win? Got it ha

Either way they suck and still need elite Igor to even be competitive, it's still funny how many people wanted and still want to run him out of here.

 

[ReddestRum]

This team is LOL and the people giving me shit after the Dallas game should now understand why I said what I did. It's the same damn team. They need their goalie to play unreal to win. They suck at defending the rush, have no puck management, can't defend, and constantly get outworked.

I refuse to be happy for this team winning anything (including Dallas) until we string together wins against good teams and look like we deserve to win. Giving up near 50 shots to Dallas tells me all I need to know about that win.
