GDT: Game 38: New York Rangers @ Montreal Canadiens, 7pm, MSG2

[Cmox]

We should start taking bets as to which 3 players on the Rangers will be interviewed

 

[bl02]

another game where Mika's line does absolutely nothing at even strength.

People wanna blame Wheeler and that is fine he sucks. But I doubt any other winger on this team would make a difference. Those two need to make it happen.

You mean for the next game?

No one wants to admit it but 5v5 #20 has been the biggest reason why it hasn't worked.

He's been really floaty at ES this year and I don't like it.

Edit: Gif didn't work, will probably not add something impactful to this post later.

 

[Cmox]

You mean for the next game?

Yeah, will it be Vesey, Gus or Cuylle inbetween periods?

 

[mike14]

I dislike Brodzinski as much as the next guy...

But priorities...

Wheeler can NOT be our top line RW.

It needs to end... Full stop.

Vesey really does seem like the perfect stopgap for that line.
Or Cuylle of you want to try something different

 

[Profet]

Kakko really needs to come back ASAP and get back on the Mika line. Nobody can be worse than Wheelchair.

Brodzinski: "Hold my beer."

Both 20 and 93 love turning their body sideways for 'hits', enabling the other team all the angles in the world to move the puck as they block 1% of the ice.

Rarely will either seal a guy against the wall either, they freely give inside position or do a flyby pokecheck.

Those two are the biggest 5v5 holes on the team. Brodz sucks and all but those 2 are who matter. Dollars over dimes.

Hate to criticize Kreids because he is gonna go down as one of the best forwards in franchise history but facts are the facts. This year 5 on 5 has not been great.

MSG 150 without Pidto is a waste of 150 seconds.

 

[Reijo29]

Brodzinski is an overachiever, what is their not to like regarding him? Goodrow is playing his butt off, is the the only player on the team other then Bonino or Quick with Stanley Cup rings? Just asking. Stop scapegoating players, everyone can’t be Panarin.

I want to see Edstrom there first

Goodrow is on pace to finish with single digit points.

Yeah was hoping for the Sam REEEEINHART!!

And Zibanejad is weak on the puck. If you sneeze near him he may fumble it, or miss the loose puck.

Basically this cheating to try to chip the puck to go the other way is a teamwide plague.

He’s not on the team to score

 

[Machinehead]

Let me just cross "HF blaming Kreider and Zibanejad on Wheeler being bad" off my bingo card.

 

[Fitzy]

3.6 million dollars pays for at minimum 3rd line offensive production even with intangibles.

Giannone somehow makes the MSG 150 the slowest 150 seconds in the National Hockey League

 

[2Leetch_94]

What is he on the team for because right now he's contributing nothing but stupid penalties and turnovers.

 

[TGWL]

He’s not on the team to score

Well we pay more than panarin, Kreider, Zibanejad and Trocheck to score.

 

[Kovalev27]

Cuylle is the guy who should be moved up right now. He’s earned it.

 

[Reijo29]

They had to overpay to get him. And he was necessary.

Well we pay more than panarin, Kreider, Zibanejad and Trocheck to score.

Win the period
