GDT: Game 34 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils, 1:00 pm ET , MSG

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Who was doing that? Outside of injury he was showing talent from day 1...
Although the NHL media does seem to be particularly bad

He was garbage as a rookie, and mid the following year. Even Deviks fans were turning on him. Saying he showed flashes right away is revisionist history. He was not NHL ready.

 

[makdeniss]

Please stop showing Mika on TV.

 

[Levitate]

you know they're playing decently hard but there are no moral victories with this shit, if they were actually playing good they'd maybe score a goal or win some games

 

[RangerLifer]

Zib can't play out his entire contract like this, surely. LTIR is everybody's friend in situations like this.

I know, right!! I've been saying this for months now.

 

[Ruggs225]

why is nobody ever in the correct position

 

[will1066]

They thought asking Sam to recite the teams in the Gotham app again was not a good idea

 

[Killem Dafoe]

oh my

 

[DanielBrassard]

Lafreniere is garbage.

 

[Machinehead]

you know they're playing decently hard but there are no moral victories with this shit, if they were actually playing good they'd maybe score a goal or win some games

They have certainly upped their performative effort in recent games, and we're thankfully seeing what that's worth.

He wasn't ready, but you could see the talent.
Again, who, as in anyone with an ounce of credibility, was calling him a bust?

 

[ThePeoplesPeople]

It sure looks like healthy scratching the longest tenured and homegrown Ranger has had the desired effect.

He has 1 assist in 30 games. He has 3 points at 5v5 in 30 games.

Pyotr Kochetkov had 2 assists yesterday against the Rangers. That's more than Kreider has in 30 games this season, if that wasn't clear.

CK has been garbage and should be ashamed of his effort.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

So we’re what, 0 for our last 35 pp’s?

 

[Atax]

Sweet lord I thought it was the 3rd period.

 

[LottieDottie]

devils thinking we can't slow down, our fans would love us to provide a massive blowout of the ny rangers for their holiday spirits

rangers thinking where am i going to go out tonight in the greatest city on earth with my fat paycheck.

rangers should be forced to live in putnam county or some such.

 

[CasusBelli]

So glad Laf is on this PP. We would be losing without his 3 power play goals tonight.

 

[Bob Richards]

Regression doesn’t surprise me. Hell, he started showing regression last season.

But his regression this season is cataclysmic lol. I don’t know what the charts say but he’s gotta be amongst the worst regulars at forward in the entire league. It’s unbelievable.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

LOL

 

[Raspewtin]

god I wish they scored on that

 

[Ruggs225]

what a hit zib... now next time the red team

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Rangers dump and don’t chase.

 

[McRanger92]

Mika demoted to PP2 and immediately skates into his own man. The jokes write themselves

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

He wasn't ready, but you could see the talent.
Again, who, as in anyone with an ounce of credibility, was calling him a bust?

He wasn’t even showing any talent by the end of his rookie season, he was completely lost and had no confidence.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Rempe elbowing someone into the shadow realm would be welcomed right about now

 

[will1066]

Mika skating into Edstrom lolol

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

how many of our D are actually better than Trouba?
