GDT: Game 39: New York Rangers vs Vancouver Canucks - 7pm ET, MSG

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Could see that one developing 45 seconds before the goal

Wide open!!

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Vancouver is too f***ing dangerous offensively to dick around on D.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Horrible defense on both goals.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Awful defensive play. This team is really stupid at times

 

[GENESISPuck94]

To be fair... Laf still can't play RW... They play 2 LW on the same line... It's infuriating. They are all on the same side of the ice in the neutral zone.

Laf has been great. I don't really care about defense from that line. They're like the GAG line.

 

[DuneGoon84]

56 is a moron

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Man, I was away for a month and a half and their defense goes to shit.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Kravtsov for Hoglander...who says no?

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Vancouver is good.

 

[RangerLifer]

We just give up so many good chances

I hope to the Hockey Gods we don't give Igor a big contract. It won't matter how great our goaltending is if we play shit defense like this.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Ducks just traded Drysdale to philly for cutter gauthier...crazy

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Vancouver is good.

Good and lucky. Great combination.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Man, I was away for a month and a half and their defense goes to shit.

It's your fault for getting married. Single Snowblind would shame this team into oblivion.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Can we work on not get scored on immediately after scoring? Seems like it happens every other game.

I used to think it was a Gallant thing but it’s clear it’s a personnel thing with this team because it’s still happening.

Honestly may be an Igor thing too. Feels like the last two years he’s like Georgiev-lite with being in his own head.

 

[CasusBelli]

Looking at the replay, that looks straight out of EA. Not a compliment to the NYR defense.

 

[Profet]

Laf has been great. I don't really care about defense from that line. They're like the GAG line.

I don't dispute that he's been playing well.

I'm stating that both him and Panarin are playing LW on that line... At the same time.

 

[will1066]

Look, without the power play, we are a mid team. Nucks are up 2 at 5v5, and you know they will get some man advantages with game mgmt

 

[Uglybstrd]

So....

Give away puck in NZ: check
Leave man wide open in DZ: check
Said wide open man scores: check

 

[hardnosed]

Every time we score, out comes the top pair of K'Andre Miller and Tits McGee to keep the momentum going.

Miller/Trouba play after our PP because guys on the other 2 pairs play on the PP

 

[DuneGoon84]

Vancouver sure do know how to set up plays

 

[Tob]

Zibanejad line is so conceited. It's all set plays and tic tac toe BS.

 

[2014nyr]

brutal defense from schneider and gus there. braden takes himself out of the play to open up an easy 2 on 1....then gus attempt to take the pass away took absolutely nothing away and left the cross ice pass wide open.

 

[DialUp]

Unless the game is tied before the end of the first, this will be a 5 or 6-1 loss.

 

[mike14]

Starting to get an inkling that Wheeler might not be the best option for that top line...

 

[Machinehead]

Miller/Trouba play after our PP because guys on the other 2 pairs play on the PP

Trouba plays like 40 shifts a game.
