GDT: Game 35: New York Rangers @ Lightning McQueen, 7pm ET, MSG2

[Cusedog]

It would be a big help if some of these players cared as much about a Quick does.

Tbh Kreider looked shocked that the puck got to his stick because that hadn't occurred in 2 months on the PP

 

[Leonardo87]

Quick gonna be like….

 

[CasusBelli]

Max Verstappen no doubt

 

[bleedblue94]

He doesn't have a partner, he needs a partner before he doesn't get embarrassed.

Jesus Christ take off the blinders, fox can be accountable for his own shit plays just like everyone else.

Great scene

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

He doesn't have a partner, he needs a partner before he doesn't get embarrassed.

I agree with the sentiment - but in a vacuum that play was completely inexcusable. He just carelessly tossed the puck into the slot - a 10 year old would get benched for that.

 

[Crease]

This is good guys. This is good. The tank will be on. If there is a brain in Drury's head, he knows this.

In just the last five years the Rangers turned a 1 and 2 OA into middle six betas so apologies if I’m not excited about Hagens.

 

[RangersFan]

They signed Igor.

The franchise is literally broken because of it

If they commit to a rebuild his cap hit shouldn't matter for a while. What it will affect is draft position if he keeps them mediocre and out of the basement.

 

[Profet]

Something has to happen after this turd burger right? Right?

 

[effen]

Fox is a clown again defending. Just waving his stick at a guy coming into his crease, throw the puck to the one f***ing area of the ice that everyone knows not to throw it (aka out in front of your own net, put it in the f***ing corner if you're pressured), and then completely screens quick by half ass trying to block the shot.

Those of you that claim he's not bad defensively amuse me...

He's been jaw droppingly bad this game. No one commented on him missing a backhand with half an open net either (to be fair backhands skating at a 45 degree angle are hard but f*** it you're a Norris winner make it work).

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

He's got to be hurt. You can't play that long in front of the net in the NHL without becoming Adam Graves incarnate.

He's a big, fast skater on his 11th season in the NHL. His joints and back are shot. I don't think this is a temporary thing.

It doesn't appear that will be a problem. We are well below mediocre right now with him.

 

[effen]

We really need to develop a defense corps that plays the body.

Even in our good years, the defense was "back up until you hit the boards."

Glad to have you aboard, finally.

 

[bleedblue94]

Ahh yes Miller and Fox the poke check twins

But advanced stats said Miller and Fox are elite together and all I've heard for years is it's not fox's fault he just needs to be away from lindgren.

People finally starting to see it now

 

[CasusBelli]

He's got to be hurt. You can't play that long in front of the net in the NHL without becoming Adam Graves incarnate.

He’s admitted to various back injuries even before the season started.

 

[LORDE]

Something has to happen after this turd burger right? Right?

I've been saying that for too long now

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Something has to happen after this turd burger right? Right?

I think it takes until Monday night, around 9:40 pm. Sadly.

Can't wait for them to prioritize defense and have Housely teach it

its sarcasm br0

Yes, this franchise will no doubt under develop whatever talent they draft. Might as well draft the "best" talent to ruin.

 

[Machinehead]

Glad to have you aboard, finally.

When was I not?

I don't think we should make a reactionary Fox trade.

Beyond that, I've led the charge on ripping our defense since I signed up.

 

[Atax]

Embrace the tank.

 

[Machinehead]

My god the team is so bad even the mods are turning on themselves!

Shut up, Kupo.

 

[Boris Zubov]

He's a big, fast skater on his 11th season in the NHL. His joints and back are shot. I don't think this is a temporary thing.

Which was exactly my point. Whether he can manage his body to come back & be productive remains to be seen.
