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

[PuckLuck3043]

I was going to say that the Rangers had the better of the play aside from the 2 defensive breakdowns that led to goals and then the last minute of the period happened. Never mind.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Defense sucks, Shesterkin regressed hard this year. They undressed us twice this period. Their hickey sense is off the charts compared to ours.

 

[DialUp]

1.71-0.9 XG for the Rangers in all situations, at some point, you need a big save.

What happens when Vancouver starts getting good chances based on hard work?

 

[RGY]

Lindgren-Fox so f***ING bad. So bad.

They have possession inside the opponent’s blueline and Fox decides to dish the puck to the less offensively talented Lindgren who simply turns the puck over ending possession.

Then on the same shift, even though you could try to blame Kreider for passing the puck back, Lindgren flips a puck carelessly for an easy change of possession again. When he and Fox desperately needed a change.

Lindgren just has to go. He is a net negative

 

[bl02]

Othmann does not need to see this shit.
Send him back please.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Can Laviolette coach these players to not be so stupid

Could Gallant? Could Quinn? The core always was the problem.

 

[Daves a mess]

I gonna go watch Inkmaster


Rangers, you do NOT have what it takes to beat the Vancouver Canucks.

Please pack your bags, and close shop.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We switch goalies the score is switched. I'm not saying the defense was good, but neither was Vancouvers. Show me one save Igor made that any average goalie couldn't make in his sleep.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

The winning allows people to ignore it but I’ll
keep saying it. This ranger team is scary scary scary soft.

This team aint built for the playoffs. Need some serious grinders at the deadline.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Vally eating edibles talking about ww2

 

[Uglybstrd]

Feels like Vancouver has cashed in on all their chances and we`re trying to force a square peg into a round hole

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Good period from both teams. Gonna be a fun rest of the game.

Your guys rink is gorgeous by the way. Hopefully this is a Stanley Cup final preview.

He can't make key saves when we need him. He is ultra robotic with zero athleticism

 

[EdJovanovski]

If we switched forechecks, had more than 1 good line & played defense the score may be switched too

Don't lie.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

I will admit, I don't know what I used to know with hockey. The season is long and I'm more interested in football and golf now a days.

But good god why is it almost every other team looks so structured in the D zone and we are just out there chasing and waving at guys? And why have we lost all semblance of what we did the first 15 games?

This defense is worse than what we saw with Gallant, when we had figured it out those first 15 games

 

[Rangers in 7]

Miller f***ing sucks right now

 

[RGY]

We had as many high danger chances as Vancouver. Igor couldn't make one difficult save Demko made almost all of them.

Ok? That’s hockey. There are more nights when Igor makes those saves than not.

How about his team play f***ing defense in front of him. We are getting brain dead hockey from the Top 4.

 

[EdJovanovski]

My house would be a warzone if it’s a Canuck vs Ranger final lol

 

[McRanger92]

Laviolette has been Gallant-esque in the game against Carolina and now this first period. Non chalant play all over the ice.

 

[hockeyplayer999]

Defended KAM and Schneider but they were horrendous. But so was the 8.5 million dollar Trouba.

Schneider is terrible. Where is the guy who looked good the first season. People wanted to trade Trouba for this guy to move up to a top 4 spot. Glad he isn’t too 4

 

[rangersfansince08]

Not a good period at all defensively but 3 on 0.9 expected for the Canucks.

Igor is an average goaltender.

below average

 

[turcotte8]

The winning allows people to ignore it but I’ll
keep saying it. This ranger team is scary scary scary soft.

This team aint built for the playoffs. Need some serious grinders at the deadline.

we need 3 forwards and 2 defense-men better than what we have now to really compete.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If we switched forechecks, had more than 1 good line & played defense the score may be switched too

We literally generated more than Vancouver. It's the goalies pure and simple. Both Ds sucked.

I don't trust your sweet, honey-dripped words
