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

I notice when he kills all offense on the PP.

Like when he fires a weak one-timer into the goalies chest?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They’re in first place

In spite of his play. He's been absolute f***ing garbage. Look at his stats.

1st goal is on KAM for waving his stick like a windshield wiper going in reverse until the puck was in the net. Useless.

2nd goal I want to see where KAM is (in real time I thought Narnia) and where Kakko was (real time I thought he was behind his guy). Trouba was a corpse but we already know this.

or flubs a pass and it goes right out of the zone.

Mika was likely co-DJing with Steve Aoki all night last night in Vegas. He's half asleep.

Igor was at the strip clubs all night because he realized Moscow has nothing on Vegas in that department.

Fox looks tired from rambling about sophisticated Ivy League shit with random locals on the streets.

Likely heading for a 5-0 loss. At least 1 goal by the one and only. Maybe 2.....

 

[McRanger92]

I hate goalies.

Paying Igor after his contract is up will make Trouba’s contract look good

He’s had some bad games, he’s also had good games.

 

[Machinehead]

Getting rid of Trouba and Goodrow this summer would be awesome.

We will keep Trouba and Goodrow.

Laviolette has a lock of Trouba's hair in his diary.

 

[Kodiak]

Meeka with another invisible start

Put Lindgren on the PP in place of Zibanejad. He’s actually creating offense tonight. I said what I said.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Have they looked like a first place team lately?

 

[mrmovies779]

On the 1st goal both bread and Vinnie did a fly-by by the puck carrier in the neutral zone...not even attempting to use their body instead going with lazy stick checks.That's a play that never should have materialized.2nd goal Trouba got walked so badly,I was looking for a dog collar and leash on him afterwards

Team worst 8.64 xGF% for Trouba/Miller pair in the first period, just another game for them.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

or flubs a pass and it goes right out of the zone.

An all too common occurrence.

 

[Machinehead]

Some of you guys with the toxic positivity are just as bad as the power whining.

We're allowed to say the team is playing a bad game.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Giannone doing the MSG 150.

That clinches it. Definite loss. No hope.

 

[Reijo29]

Didn’t they win their last two games? Team wins past two, plays pretty well in both, then gives up a couple fluke goals in the first period of a road trip against the Champions and it’s a pile on session. If you hate the players root for someone else. They overachieved early on what did you think they were going 70-12? Appreciate the wins they piled up.

the 1-3-1, like any NZ system, doesn't work if you just let them skate in a straight line down the ice without resistance.

they're so goddamn soft sometimes it kills me.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He’s had some bad games, he’s also had good games.

That's the standard for the former Vezina winner now? When he's had bad games they've been horrendous and I can't think of many games he won us. Comparing how many games he stole and even NEEDED to steal two seasons ago to now she's you how far he's fallen.

Vegas only had 0.66 xG so that's morbidly impressive.

 

[McRanger92]

Rangers only play hard enough to get power plays then spend the whole 2 minutes looking for tips or tap-in’s. It’s not sustainable and Laviolette needs to shake things up.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Man that first goal was just such a deflater. Terrible play by Miller but thats a pretty low percentage chance for Igor to be giving up. You have to stop that shot. It’s just incredibly soft and now you’re chasing in a game you were in the driver seat.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

People on this site think it’s cool to pile on players. Think like it makes it like they know something.

Don’t know/believe that they are posting because they want to be “cool”.
Posters on this forum are stating their opinions based on knowledge, frustration or passion.
You’re painting with a pretty wide brush here, but that’s your right just as it is their right to post their thoughts.

Don't worry, he'll play Trouba more to get the character/60 up. Might even throw a helmet.

When Vali looks concerned, you know it's bad, like when Kakko is imitating Gallant's sniffing for Laf and Chytil, and Gallant is standing behind him

No.

Anyway, do they have it in them to score 5 in the 3rd? Only time will tell!
