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

[mike14]

That was probably the most entertaining game we've played in a few weeks. Did enough to win, but also made enough mistakes that we let a rival grab 2 points.
Shesty was excellent, the PK (especially the 5v3) was good. Mika was very good except for actually getting the puck into the net. I liked the 4th line again and KK and Krav had pretty strong games.

Defence was on its heels a lot (like most nights) in our zone while looking active and good while playing offence, Panarin had a real stinker, the PP had some good looks but they need to score. Don't really know what we can do about Laf at this point; the line he's on isn't doing him, or Chytil any favours either...

 

[Tob]

Anyone willing to offer a late first for Laf, you run with it at this point.

 

[huerter]

You want Laf out there in OT ?

You want me to go through past OT gamethreads that he didn't play and find all the crying posts?

 

[duhmetreE]

This coachign staff sucks. Their roster decisions are dumb. Our practice pace/discipline isn't obviously there. Our skills from all of our players have deteriorated. Mika can't even hit the net. Cant handle the puck. etc..

We're always standing around not moving our feet. We're not conditioned to skate. Can't make simple passes. Can't hit the net..

It's amazing we are where we are.

 

[17futurecap]

If they play the Devils in the playoffs, you have to play that Miller Fox pair like 30 min a game if it’s close.

Harpur can’t be playing vs a team this quick either, but I don’t think he would be in a playoff game.

 

[Raspewtin]

the fact that that f***ing neanderthal Goodrow gets a promotion after single handidly jump starting the Devils comeback is just incredible

half of this whole roster can get f***ed. especially panarin and trouba. f***ing losers.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

He does not

62nd percentile offense
91st percentile defense

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

Don’t come at me with these stats. He’s sucks just like Laf and he’s soft too.

 

[Kovalev27]

We just sent the devils on their way to another streak. We were horrendous today. Absolutely horrible.

And I got news for you kakko laf kravtsov Andersson. What do they all have in common? Can’t skate. You know who else can’t skate? Othmann. The only first round picks that ever succeed for us can skate. Chytil and Kreider.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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.

He's an absolute disgrace but he's also our leading goal scorer or was until recently. But the guy has to be the most unconfident good goal scorer of all time.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Chytil and Kakko are better players.

The eye test & analytics say otherwise, and it’s not even remotely close. But regardless even Krav haters say he is built for 3v3 skills competition where he has room like the KHL. He is undoubtedly one of the top players we should put out there with his wingspan, skating, hands, and active stick. He hasn’t got one OT shift all season

 

[ajdj10]

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 think we'd be able to get a 1st for him

In the 5th round

 

[RickChartraw]

I don't get why Krav was replaced by goodrow in the last 5 minutes. I don't get why Gauthier didn't get OT time.

 

[ReddestRum]

Our ability to be stingy and play shutdown hockey when we lead going into the 3rd NEEDS TO HAPPEN. This will massacre us in the playoffs.

 

[Richard Banger]

Hughes Vs Laf is very easy to explain. Skill Diff. Plain and simple.

that's sad and scary

it starts with our shit for brains captain who was the worst defenseman on the ice today and that's saying A LOT on a team with Ben Harpur.

 

[JHS]

Aside from Kappo the way the lines rolled Gallant had no other viable options left in overtime. Laf just had to be a lot better- a lot.

I don't get why Krav was replaced by goodrow in the last 5 minutes. I don't get why Gauthier didn't get OT time.

I think Gauthier got hurt crashing into the boards on the goal. I don't recall seeing him after that.

 

[mike14]

Such a weird move. It doesn't suddenly make that line "defensively responsible" and neuters any potential offence

Dude, stop with your nonsense, Kravtsov is a big nothing.

 

[rangersfansince08]

I bet Othmann is a bust too

 

[mrmovies779]

Mika has to bury that chance in o.t.You just can't miss there.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Jack Hughes literally single handedly beat this team. Like literally.

Maybe Mika should ask him for tips on how to hit a net.

The Rangers would be Cup favorites if they had him instead of Lafreniere.

This organization's luck, man..

 

[Chytilmania]

Hughes Vs Laf is very easy to explain. Skill Diff. Plain and simple.

Attitude as well. Hughes has a cocky swagger. Devils fans will eat it up, we will hate. Laf is so plain.
