GDT: Game #41 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils - 1pm EST - MSG, NHLN

[Cmox]

Another streak broken. Yay!

 

[Whoot Whoot]

72 can’t win an important face off
Why is he on the ice with our worst forward

 

[The Crypto Guy]

All the bitchint on Laf, who blew it, but how about Mika who misses the net on 2 on 1 with 3 minutes left then goes to miss the net again on a breakaway in OT?

f*** you Mika.

 

[JT Kreider]

You want Laf out there in OT ?

How does Gallant go from benching Laf to out in OT 3 games later

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Laf f***ing sucks, not sure what he was doing there. How about trying to make something happen? Has the puck with open ice and just gingerly skates up the ice and tries to force a pass when it’s not there and predictably gets picked off and then casually admires his turnover until he’s hit and taken out of the play. Terrific stuff from our 1OA.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

What in the world do we do with Laf, this is getting scary

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Why is this scoffed at? So according to the eye test of fans as well as the analytics, he’s one of our best players.

I want him to play more. I’d play all the kids more. That’s our best chance to do well long term.

 

[Daves a mess]

Laffy isn't seeing ot ice again for at least a month after that.

Im cool with that

 

[Rangers in 7]

I’ll say it again how do they not call that interference right before they came down and scored?

Someone absolutely leveled laf after his horrible pass and yes it should have been interference

 

[Kocur26]

Gerard Gallant is a guy who puts ketchup on steak …

A guy who showers when he can

A guy who pisses on the seat

An absolute slug of a simpleton …

He makes Jack capuano look like Fukn toe Blake

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Do not want to rain on your parade, but your screen name "new york rebuild" and what happened today is kind of poetic.

Yeah busting on Laf honestly slows it down, but we have so much potential in our youngsters we will be a powerhouse very soon if not already

 

[Atax]

How does Gallant go from benching Laf to out in OT 3 games later

Yeah it’s insanity.

 

[Raspewtin]

Laffy isn't seeing ot ice again for at least a month after that.

shouldn't see NHL ice for that matter.

 

[Richard Banger]

He does not

62nd percentile offense
91st percentile defense

Way better than the other kids. And his skillset his literally tailor made for 3v3

Chytil and Kakko are better players.

 

[DialUp]

Yeah, bad play by Goodrow and Panarin leading to that gwg. He should’ve had the kids out there.

The game winning goal was the Devils 2nd goal today, on the power play. If you give up a goal after a soft call, no matter your lead, the game is fcking over for this year's iteration of NYR. Happened over and over this season. We have high expectations for this team and it's unbelievably frustrating that that we are kind of in no man's land.

 

[Fataldogg]

When people say get rid of Laf, I think they're greatly overestimating his trade value. If I was the GM of another team I wouldn't be giving up major assets for him just because he was a 1st overall pick a couple years back.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Losers, fraudulent ass team

Too many weaknesses and dead weight throughout the lineup.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Yeah, bad play by Goodrow and Panarin leading to that gwg. He should’ve had the kids out there.

Haha. A game is more than a play. Half a season is more than a game.

 

[CasusBelli]

Pinning this one on Goodrow for getting the Devils started and on GG for putting Lafrenière out there over Kakko or Kravstov — even Vesey.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Laf now and Laf in the playoffs is just night and day. He’s regressed really badly this year.

 

[Rangers in 7]

All the bitchint on Laf, who blew it, but how about Mika who misses the net on 2 on 1 with 3 minutes left then goes to miss the net again on a breakaway in OT?

f*** you Mika.

No no no you’re missing the point the WHOLE reason we lost was laf.

Fwiw that OT effort was poor from him. Should have drove the net

 

[Boris Zubov]

Going to be fun watching Hughes own us for the next 15 years

It's happening in real time.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

All the bitchint on Laf, who blew it, but how about Mika who misses the net on 2 on 1 with 3 minutes left then goes to miss the net again on a breakaway in OT?

f*** you Mika.

Mika really needs to hit the net. You can’t keep missing the net every time you have a good chance, it’s inexcusable.

This whole loss is inexcusable. Up 3-1 we have a PP and do nothing with it. From there it was all Devils. Putrid stuff all around after that.

 

[Kocur26]

What in the world do we do with Laf, this is getting scary

Trade him to Montreal for Stephane Quintal

 

[Richard Banger]

When people say get rid of Laf, I think they're greatly overestimating his trade value. If I was the GM of another team I wouldn't be giving up major assets for him just because he was a 1st overall pick a couple years back.

I don’t think any rangers fan is expecting a overhaul for him. Maybe we get lucky and can do a 1 for 1 trade.
