GDT: Game 38: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals, 12pm ET, (ABC, ESPN+)

[Baby Duck Homme]

I wish we had Rempe for one last mission today.

If this is a lost season and we will be bad at least don’t be soft.

I have seen a lot of bad Rangers hockey in my years. The darkest times are when we just got pummeled and couldn’t push back.

Not sure which play you mean.. but yes. The answer is always yes. Unfortunately.

He's like if Kakko can be traded so can i

 

[duhmetreE]

Fox is tilted he's being smothered without analyzing himself and realizing he's easily marked because he's easy to mark.

Do some squats, f***o.

The whole team. Olympic lifting and explosive training.

 

[effen]

this lines decline is like half responsible for this season stinking

Which is to say the whole team was very brittle with a singular point of failure. All the signs to reset off this group of floaters right in front of us.

 

[kovazub94]

Rangers looked decent in the first period because Fox was all over the place. Too bad his partner can’t do his job covering for him on D when needed.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Just let the Caps take a stab with his stick on a covered up Quick. At least Schneider moved towards Raddysh even if he didn't do anything. The other 4 Rangers couldn't be bothered.

Quick may need to become Billy Smith and swing that heavy stick since his teammates aren't bothering. Guys feared Smiths stick.

 

[McRanger92]

Panarin Laf and Trocheck all trying to play hero and that line is a non factor. Need to move Laf off it

 

[RangerLifer]

Caps coach is Kojak! I forgot about that.

I think I forgot to post it, but the other day (Colorado Buffalo!) some Sabre accidentally fell on the Avs goalie and injured his legs. Regardless a ten man scrum ensued with all skaters involved.

Maybe in two of my approx. 20 seasons, the team fought back as a unit, protecting each other.

I remember he almost blinded Lindy Ruff with the butt end of his stick.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Panarin is cooked.

 

[duhmetreE]

There’s no attack

Coasting and chasing. Watch the puck for an extra second or two before you start skating

Wasn't that Foxs (and Chytil) man that scored?

Nah, they were going in straight lines and actually doing things with pace, and 8 minutes of that was plenty for this group, thank you very much.

Glad we could get back to our regularly scheduled read and react and give the puck away strategy.

 

[RangerLifer]

f*** off, Ovi, you baboon.

 

[duhmetreE]

Our pathing and support is atrocious

 

[Fitzy]

Panarin Laf and Trocheck all trying to play hero and that line is a non factor. Need to move Laf off it

Panarin needs to play with Chytil and Cuylle. Tro with Berard and Kreider. Zib with Laf and Smith because that’s what we are left with.

Erik Haula iirc bodychecked Henrik into next month with zero let up and the team just stared at him.

The lowest point of the franchise. It's endemic.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I remember when Dubi beat up Ovi.

Those were good times.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

So we had a good 7 minutes and that's all that was in the tank?

 

[Raspewtin]

it was fun while it lasted but we're back to unwatchable slop

 

[Profet]

Watching these other teams complete multiple tape to tape passes in a single shift.

Sigh.

 

[duhmetreE]

I’m really trying to find some positives and things we do well….

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Panarin is cooked.

Crazy, usually we don't see Artemi this ineffective until the post season.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Kreider with the shortest shift of all time. They need to trade him sooner than later.
