GDT: Game # 43 - Rangers vs Kings - 7pm - MSG +

[BroadwayStorm]

It's almost 8 years since we saw them in the finals. Holy shit time flies.

 

[Richard Banger]

Gaut is all sizzle no steak.

All tease no p***y

 

[IDvsEGO]

Byfield is very agile for a big guy.

That was the reason people even considered him at 1. But notice how quickly he lost the puck to basically every defenseman. That was the reason Laf went 1. He’s far more of a project.

 

[RangerLifer]

What's with the Cylon helmets? They're f***ing terrible.

Reminds me of the Slap Shot foil scene....I can almost hear Reggie Dunlop saying...
"They're skating around with foil on their heads!"

 

[Miamipuck]

I thought it was by your command? No?

Lol Hell no, it's going to give me seizures.

 

[CasusBelli]

man Byfield looks better than Laf hate to say it

Better skater. Better vision. More size. Should have taken him or Jimmy Stu. Damn consensus picks.

 

[LokiDog]

What’s the bridge?

Its the command center of the UFO that MSG is a front for.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

It's not worth explaining it to you, but CAR had Hamilton at the time and no need for Tony D whatsoever. After Hamilton left for free agency is a different story.

+1. I mean he was waived. Teams could have had him for just his contract and no one took him. He had negative value across the league and is still on a short leash/show me contract. He will act up again eventually…

Why because he skates fast? Dude gave the puck away 3 times in one setting lol.

yeah, but he's giving me Malkin vibes.

 

[bbny]

If Gauthier figures out how to finish he’ll score 40 goals in a season at some point in his career.

It's precisely that. QB is the better skater, and this point with neither doing anything, the better skater is the one who will usually be more noticeable.

 

[Siddi]

If you're a WWE fan, it's called a dragon screw.

@Machinehead Can you confirm?

 

[mas0764]

This is really surprising to me.

Well, I'd prefer a 1.23 ppg 22 year old more, what can I say? Adding an extra first is the icing on the cake.

 

[wafflepadsave]

I leave this game for 10 seconds and I miss the Gauthier move?

They should just tell Gauthier to hit anything that moves and play defense or we’re trading you.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Gauthier is like a bigger Hagelin, man. Gets a breakaway per game with that crazy speed but can't finish worth a damn.

At least he's moving his legs. Would be nice if the rest of the team would try it...

 

[Richard Banger]

yeah, but he's giving me Malkin vibes.

And Laf gives me Crosby vibes.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Narrators voice, "He would not"

 

[bbny]

man Byfield looks better than Laf hate to say it

I think Lafreniere looks good tonight actually. He’s set up a few nice scoring chances.

 

[Miamipuck]

Hahah yeah I hear you, they're terrible looking....Johnny Upton...lol

Hadfield?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

This is really embarrassing. Why is this not being addressed?

 

[Hire Sather]

He also carried a $4.8M cap hit last year. Hard to take that onto a contending roster mid season with no other pieces moving around.

Right, so the only option the Rangers had was to keep a lid on everything and keep playing him.

They made the decision it wasn't worth it for the health of the locker room.

I have no idea if they made the right call, I don't know how the players felt about him.. none of us do

Its one of the situations where we have to trust those who make the call. Who are we to say otherwise? We don't know what it was like in the room.

Trivia answer: Jaromir Jagr is my guess.
