GDT: Game 44: New York Rangers @ Vegas Golden Knights, 10pm, MSGSN (West Coast trip starts tonight)

[Machinehead]

Second goal is 100% on Trouba.

Miller is where he's supposed to be in the 1-3-1. Pass gets behind him because, hey that's the system sometimes. Trouba gets beat by Roy going like 20% speed without so much as a headfake.

It's amazing how Trouba gets walked by guys just gliding forward. Roy probably couldn't believe it.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Rangers spent all day in the strip clubs in LV and totally out of energy from the experience. Look flat. Makes sense.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

plain and simple the team’s biggest issue is team defense and the constant mental lapses we have

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Wheeler passing hard into slot whatever and whenever lol

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Turning good starts into trash finishes since 1926.

Mental fragility.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Team can’t finish for shit at 5v5

Too perimeter, it’s been like that since the iteration of this core. Dopey doodle cute plays, go to the f***ing net

 

[Killem Dafoe]

riveting

 

[DialUp]

1st half of that period was a power play for the Rangers at 5v5. We are coming away down 2-0 in spite of that. The 2nd is not going to be even close in regards to that. Vegas 5, Rangers 1 or 0. Waste of a good start.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sure looked like Kakko was completely behind his guy.

So much so that the guy had to score with his skate.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

At least I’ll be hitting the casinos early

 

[hardnosed]

Laf not getting enough heat on that first goal because, right or wrong, Trouba and Miller are both memes right now.

Miller did his best to defend two guys and Trouba did nothing egregious.

Laf straight up not bothering on the backcheck. I appreciate his improvement and I'm cool with him focusing on offense but that's just laziness.

It was a 3 on 2 where they made a few passes and still none of our forwards got back to even it up

HEY!

NO POLITICS!!

 

[McRanger92]

Meeka with another invisible start

 

[Machinehead]

And of course the puck just his Barbashev and caroms in. We can't get a break either.

At least you don’t have to shout “down in front!”

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Rangers finished the final 11 minutes without registering a shot.

Good times, good times.

 

[Number 9]

Tired of these goals Igor is letting up. Maybe time to move on.

The Rhino will do that to ya.

Zibanechud: Guys c'mon, we need to get on the power play and feed me perfect one timers on top of the circle.

Mental fragility.

Fra-gee-lay

 

[Kodiak]

We were having a pretty good period until @Profet had to say something.

 

[Reijo29]

Move on? Move on to what, are you out of your mind?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

But you can't ALWAYS expect him to keep making save after save after save. When your team can't finish shit and the defense is absurdly bad, you can't fall onto always blaming the goalie because some off the garbage goals will go in.

Who's expecting him to make save after save after save? We're expecting at least average play, something he hasn't done much this season. It's never the f***ing goalie's fault. What's the point of even having a good goalie if he's not expected to make routine saves?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Team spent a lot of energy in that first period.
When they return for the second they will be playing on 11:15 p.m. ET.
Going to be an uphill battle.
