GDT: Game 41: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals, 1pm ET, ESPN+, ABC (Game 1 of a home and home)

[Daves a mess]

Quick on breakaways is ass.
Miller is a rover.
First shifts after goals are comic abominations

 

[will1066]

Why the f*** is Bonino on the PP?

Would you rather have Blidh?

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Kreider needs to pass his smelling salts around the locker room between periods.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Why is quick moving to his right? Trouba had that side, dumbass play by quick

 

[ecemleafs]

Miller continues to suck.

hes been mostly terrible since he stepped away for personal reasons.

 

[Profet]

Has Brodzinski returned?

 

[TGWL]

by the defense not making an idiotic play at the blue line

Exactly.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This team has become so mistake prone.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Miller with one of the dumbest shots I have seen. No chance that puck was getting through.

Someone needs to tell him that vanilla is ok. Too much feast or famine from him.

 

[turcotte8]

Has Brodzinski returned?

does it matter?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

how are they 30% without a plan b on the pp? Do you expect them to score 50% of the time?

I don't have figures, but I would bet that percentage has been going down.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

K’Andre continues to fail the “don’t make the very obvious wrong play with the puck challenge” every night. His hockey IQ is dogshit and it’s not Trouba’s fault.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

This team is so frustrating. They are better than this.

The top 2 F lines are. The rest of them are not. We have 6 fringe NHL players on the bottom 2 lines. The defense Corp however has no excuse. They're completely brain dead lately.

 

[Kravtsov420]

I feel like Padame, I don’t even know who you are anymore Anakin (the rangers)

 

[mike14]

That was bleh. At least we scored

 

[CasusBelli]

Miller again. Shoot it around the boards, you moron. They teach you that as a kid FFS.

 

[Fitzy]

This team is so frustrating. They are better than this.

We’re down 2 top 9 forwards on a roster that really only had 7 to begin with and our goaltending has been average.

So on paper we really aren’t that great right now

 

[Guyute]

Miller is totally unreliable. As much as I can’t stand Bonino/Wheeler/Goodrow, I think we need another D more.

 

[McRanger92]

K’Andre continues to fail the “don’t make the very obvious wrong play with the puck challenge” every night. His hockey IQ is dogshit and it’s not Trouba’s fault.

Trouba’s analytics suck because he’s defending a 2 on 1 on every shift thanks to Miller

 

[Whoot Whoot]

This camera man/woman sucks

 

[duhmetreE]

what's the scoring % on Breakaways?

I'm pretty sure we give up goals on nearly all of our breakaways allowed and do not score on any of ours.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

PP is out of synch. Too much dilly dallying up top and playing catch, need to get Kreider his touches down low to be able to open the cross seam passes. They’re just slamming their heads against the wall right now playing catch up top waiting for something to open up without creating any lanes via movement.

Looks to me like they've gone back to trying for the quick back door tap-ins or the quick "tic tac toe" passing goals.

 

[mike14]

Trouba’s analytics suck because he’s defending a 2 on 1 on every shift thanks to Miller

Those 2 don't compliment each other and never have. So weird that they never get broken up

 

[gabevh3]

Did Lindgren just spear tackle that guy for the fight?

I guess that's the penalty

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Miller is totally unreliable. As much as I can’t stand Bonino/Wheeler/Goodrow, I think we need another D more.

Who is coming out of the lineup? They're not going to take any of the top 6 D out if the lineup.
