GDT: Game 40: New York Rangers vs Dallas Stars, 7pm ET, MSG

[McRanger92]

I want more aggressive pinching.

Zac Jones is the man you're looking for

 

[Mike in Houston]

I was in the building on 12/20 when the Rangers beat the Stars in Dallas. Hope for a sweep tonight.

This f***ing guy lol.

I like Colin. What are you talking about?

 

[McRanger92]

This f***ing guy lol.

It's a small thing, but keeping the 14th forward in the lineup because he happened to score a goal against the worst team in the world is the type of dumb shit this organization values. Meanwhile Cuylle-Chytil-Berard will get lost on the bench. Performative and adds no value to dig out of this.

I prefer my aggressive pincher to be oversized over someone undersized who overpinches.

gotta love that caveman logic.

"ooga booga we win last game must not change anything context no exist"

For the record, the Rangers didnt have a regulation loss when they threw Bubble Boy Lindgren back into the lineup

 

[TGWL]

The great strategy of we won so we keep the same lineup is such a dinosaur thing to do. We beat the Hawks. It's not like all of a sudden we looked like a well oiled machine.

 

[Levitate]

I don't mind waiting to put Kaliyev in, give him some more practice time, but on the other hand we absolutely know what we'll get with Johnny Brodz and it's maybe another game of looking good and then he'll disappear for the most part because lots of these guys can only keep up their impact for a short period of time. which is fine for a fill in but not for a regular roster spot

 

[Mr Mxmzptlk]

Lose a bet?

Someone else is paying.

 

[Profet]

Arthur Kovalev in the lineup tonight?

He may need to attend a few more practices where they teach him to shoot wide from the perimeter before dressing.

 

[mrhockey193195]

I have a lot of issues with Lavi, but keeping Brod in the lineup after he scored a goal (in a way that very few players on our team can duplicate) and played really well with hustle and effort is not one of them

 

[Mr Mxmzptlk]

You mean they need to beat the instinct to shoot first out of him.

shoot first, shoot second, shoot third.. Shooting isn't allowed until everyone on the ice has touched the puck... don't you know?

If anything its Vesey who can be removed and brodz just take his place on 4th line.

But yeah agree about keeping brodz in lineup after the last game.

 

[Mr Mxmzptlk]

Exactly.....Options 1 to infinity are: PASS, PASS, PASS!!!! The puck should NEVER be directed toward the net.

I like Brod. He's deliberate with the puck on his stick instead of slowing it down with the intention of reacting. He has speed, and he's decent at retrieving dump ins. His shot selection isn't the best, but he shoots. We are generally lacking in all of these qualities among our forwards.

And he's carved himself into a decently useful player after being written off as a AAAA player, and it's easy to root for that.

 

[CasusBelli]

I feel like people here are more fun when we lose than when we win.

Plays more like a captain than our captains. He's certainly a better player than Vesey. I dont think both guys should be in over Kaliyev. But i guess they dont want to just throw him out there. He needs to unlearn the defensive system from LA before that happens

At least losing is not sustainable. You keep losing, and change is inevitable.

If they string together some wins, management starts thinking this team is decent and we are FURTHER away from a cup.

he's fine as a 13f and fill in, I don't mind him in that role at all. Even keeping him another game is fine, but like I said I just don't ever expect him to keep up his level of play over a stretch of games. And that's ok, but I'd just rather the coaches not pretend that he's suddenly going to go on a hot streak until the end of the season or something. he's a fill in, don't treat him as a regular
