GDT: Game # 45 - Rangers vs Wild - (Henrik Lundqvist Retirement Ceremony @ 6:30pm) Game @ 8pm EST

[DanielBrassard]

The way Minnesota is moving the puck around is amazing to watch.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I've never seen a team turn the puck over so much in their own zone.

 

[DuneGoon84]

We have been exposed by these western teams. Not too long ago it was us who were relentless on thr puck and skating fast and the west teams were slow. Times have changed

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Watching this game……go get me chychrun

As long as we don’t include Schneider.

 

[DialUp]

Going to have to make some earth shattering adjustments come playoff time. The way the Wild are all over the puck is bare minimum play come the Spring.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We have a speed problem.

Its effort or conditioning, we looked plenty fast in the first

 

[mike14]

There's no-one in the bottom 6 who looks even remotely capable of scoring.

McKegg having no idea what's going on was a perfect summation of the last 30 mins of game time

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m supposed pay Strome how much?

 

[Machinehead]

Yes I got it!

 

[Chaels Arms]

I feel like my entire life as a Rangers fan can be summarized as me trying to figure out why every other team constantly has players wide open in the slot and we never do.

 

[Rangers in 7]

As long as we don’t include Schneider.

Agreed

 

[mike14]

I’m supposed pay Strome how much?

$5 a head, we all agreed so you can't back out now

 

[Kovalev27]

We’ve got too many guys out the bottom two lines are barely nhlers outside of Rooney and Reaves.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Absolutely nothing in the offensive zone since the first period.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

The more we lose the more Gallant will realize things have to be tweaked and adjusted. Relax everyone we’re making the playoffs, just need more depth on the team and for some coaching on the details.

 

[ElLeetch]

As long as we don’t include Schneider.

The slot for chychrun is as an upgrade to Miller, so id image Miller is part of the package going back

 

[duhmetreE]

Gregory McKeggory getting mugged like he was walking on Fifth Ave gazing up at the skyscrapers

 

[mas0764]

On one hand I want to say, we have to cut the team a break because they are down a few players and therefore have to ice half an AHL team.

On the other hand, I have to take this opportunity to point out that we are down three players and yet half our lineup are AHL or borderline AHL players.

Reaves, Hunt, Gauthier, Brodzinski, Hajek, McKegg. Jesus.

And people really want to consolidate assets for rentals! This team has a ways to go.

We’ve got too many guys out the bottom two lines are barely nhlers outside of Rooney and Reaves.

Gauthier isnt an NHL player, he is one of them.

 

[DialUp]

We’ve got too many guys out the bottom two lines are barely nhlers outside of Rooney and Reaves.

Yeah we are barely icing an NHL team tonight.

 

[hackeyman]

I've never seen a team turn the puck over so much in their own zone.

They ar right timid with it. Thinking too much or something.

 

[duhmetreE]

no one even thinks about getting to the middle or setting up for a one timer

 

[LokiDog]

I don’t know if we have a physical speed problem. It’s maybe not a big strength, but I don’t think this is a slow, plodding team.

I think we have a processing speed problem. Like an old computer. We think slow, therefore we look slow. It’s been that way for SO long. Even during our deepest runs we were never a swift, crisp puck moving team.

Right now? Maybe it’s guys being so young and not fully up to NHL speed combined with guys like Reaves, Hunt, Gauthier and McKegg who aren’t exactly dynamos? I don’t know. It seems like our processors are slow, not our feet.

 

[Number 9]

lol I think they were playing "wake up" by rage before the faceoff

 

[bl02]

Went from probably the most exciting first period of the season to this
