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

[ReddestRum]

We never skate it with purpose into the zone. Nothing but daylight in front of them and they'll dump, no one is there to forecheck, and it just comes right back. Like WTF. You're down by 3.

I watched every minute of the dark ages growing up and somehow it was more entertaining than this. This is the shittiest team ive ever watched.

Need to call up Sandy McCarthy so he can just randomly punch people again

 

[94leetch]

How many games left in the season?
We'll get'tem next year.

 

[Xirik]

lol I clicked the wrong GDT on the mainpage

on the other team, or people in our locker room? or both?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

With all the money this organization brings in you think we would have the best amateur scouts with proven records rather then Gordie Clark and his flunkies to JD and his family and flunkies to now Drury and his flunkies.

 

[DialUp]

Markstrom's mask isn't bad. Good idea but I don' particularly like the style of execution. I have nothing else to really pay attention to these days.

 

[rangersfansince08]

and 3 of those shots are on the PP lol

Your optimism is admirable. But foolish.

I'm good with both

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Oh yeah? Was it something called RangerFans? That's where some people have pointed me to.

That’s the one.

We absolutely sucked at drafting. Do that and it doesn’t matter how long you stay bottom 10

Do we? I very much like what we have prospects wise right now. Lias and Kravtsov were the two big failures. Lafreniere and Kakko were getting picked #1 and #2 no matter what the organization, that's not a drafting failure.

I know historically it hasn't been good, but I would argue our drafting has been pretty decent in the last few years. Cuylle, Bedard etc.

 

[LokiDog]

at least we aren't the New York Jets.

I’m solely a hockey fan. I watch football, but I really don’t care. And at least that suffering is only once a week for 16 weeks. The Rangers provide a solid 82-100 games of misery per year.

 

[CasusBelli]

and 3 of those shots are on the PP lol

And we’ve had 4 PPs. Which makes it all the sadder.

Even he had one of the best shifts in Rangers history. That team had balls and no skill. This team is like a bunch of freakin eunichs figure skating.

Give me Darren f***ing Langdon right now.

Also, that Shesterkin contract is becoming a bigger joke by the day. Just what an absurdly bad decision, both at the time and 10x in hindsight. I mean we have to just be the dumbest motherf***ing franchise in the league (1 cup in 85 years despite the absolute most resources and having no problem attracting talent - it checks out). He’s been a legitimate superstar but the Panarin signing was absolutely brain dead as well. Completely f***ed the rebuild and essentially created a situation where now, just 5.5 years later, we need to rebuild the rebuild. And we’ll fail atrociously at that too. Cheering for this team really is the highest form of masochism.

The Rangers have the resources to employ the "just get a bunch of good players" approach to building a roster. It's amazingly difficult to mess up and they do it with astonishing efficiency.

They could have had a bunch more picks if they kept selling, plus Eichel or Tkachuk in their prime if they ponied up and traded their mediocre bullshit. Instead they hitched the wagon to a team that was never going to be good enough.

The Knicks traded their mediocre bullshit and B+ fan favorites to get legit elite players. The Rangers elected to sniff their own farts.

They're still doing it with Shesterkin when they had a chance to get value for him.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Yep. Seems about right.

 

[rangersfansince08]

And we’ve had 4 PPs. Which makes it all the sadder.

.75 shots per PP, what f***ing losers

 

[DialUp]

who called 4-0 final?

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Tic tac f***in' toe.

who called 4-0 final?

I think the Devils will win by at least 4. Not sure about the SO, though.

 

[Ruggs225]

hey look another goal

 

[CasusBelli]

Looks like all stars vs farm team.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Good.

 

[ReddestRum]

Congrats to the Debs for putting together a real f***ing team this year.

You know what's better? When you are a fan of a multi-sport club in Europe where they play football (soccer) during the summer. And then both your hockey and soccer departments suck ass. Misery 24/7/365
