GDT: Game #38 - New York Rangers @ Florida Panthers - 5pm EST, MSG, NHLN (Merry New Year edition)

[Machinehead]

This is a classic "reward for a good chance" penalty

 

[bl02]

I guess they figured they played a decent enough first why bother in the second

 

[RangersFan1994]

I guess our great goaltending coach has helped Halak with his game. He has been very good tonight

 

[ThirdEye]

He's pretty much useless at the moment, but what really changes when we swap him for Carpenter?

are there really no other options in Hartford?

 

[mike14]

Halak's been very good

 

[Loff]

Lindros?

Staal

Eric and Marc are both playing for FLA.

They will use the long change as an excuse lol

This team is so soft on the puck.

Team is soft period

I don't think so.
Not that you'd want getting 4th line minutes in the NHL rather than larger minutes while they develop

 

[MysticLeviathan]

lol blais

 

[Kords]

Blais is bad

 

[B17 Apricots]

My thing is... if the first unit is rolling like last year, stay out there who cares. That's not the case, the results haven't been there. Get the 2nd unit on in an appropriate time

 

[RangersFan1994]

I don't think so.

Cuylle cant be that worse than Blais. Has more potential bigger and meaner. He has been scoring in Hartford. Why not put him in a 3rd line role with flip flopping places with Vesey or Goodrow

 

[bl02]

Best shift of the period (has to be on a pk I guess)

 

[will1066]

Blais is bad

Brodz back in next game and the carousel continues

 

[Ranger Wolf]

Maybe it’s time to give Cuylle a shot

 

[Raspewtin]

nice play zib

At this point I hope they decide to give Cuylle a few games. He cant be that worse.

probably because first mistake he makes he will be watching in street clothes. I would rather him just keep developing away from broadway

He probably can in terms of speed and positioning at the next level.

It's also about 8 mins a night so why rush/displace Cuylle? Outside the penalty just taken the 4th line isn't hurting us

 

[The New Russian Five]

I don't think I have ever seen a player anticipate opposing team passes like Fox does. Makes me shake my head every time.

He has played center at times and for a winger Cuylle is good at faceoffs. Good problem to have down the road

 

[Leonardo87]

Kreider and Mika doing some nice PK’ing before.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

nice goal

 

[DialUp]

Braden, what a stud

 

[RangersFan1994]

Mika again 2-0 beautiful pass from Kakko
