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

[Row I Goon]

From shit hot to shit show.....

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.

I think Jesus has shown enough not be included in that list...

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Laf dumb penalty costing us

I mean.. we were up by 2 tho.

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

by System

 

[duhmetreE]

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

it's not entertaining. It's infuriating.... and that's why this place flips to negative instantaneously

 

[Brief Candle]

We have basically one functioning-ish offensive line. It shows that while we may be deep with D, we reallllllly need to shake up the offensive core. Let's hope we have a good trade deadline and don't have to give up too much for it.

 

[Tob]

I'm over this non stop Lundqvist crap.

 

[ReddestRum]

Laf dumb penalty costing us

Laf 1 penalty minute from tying his total NHL points.

 

[Machinehead]

Dan Girardi making a stupid face as the Rangers blow a lead and lose.

Everything comes full circle.

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.

Taking off, going to sleep for huge stretches almost every game is a mental issue

 

[Tob]

why do we have to skate behind our net every time we get possession back in the D zone

 

[RangersFan]

Damn working out after the 1st was a mistake. Their shitty play made it tedious.

 

[LokiDog]

While we need a better 2C than Strome and probably a top six RW unless we let Laf stay there, we probably see the merit in guys like Lehkonen and Crouse tonight. We have a shallow top nine. Some top six talent and a good 4th line (when it isn’t our 3rd). We could use depth so that if Chytil and Blais are out we still have four lines.

Instincts too, the bottom half of the team lately have zero

 

[rangers1314]

Man, Gallant is a scary dude when he’s angry

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Does anyone remember one chance since the first period? I can't remember the last time I thought we had a chance to score.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov died for this

Our breakout attempts have been downright bizarre this game

My MacBook goes to sleep a lot too. Sometimes I’m just checking my phone and it just goes to sleep when I don’t want it to. I stand by my analogy.

We need multiple long term offensive pieces still.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

just no pressure from us

Jones wrister on the PP

Kravtsov died for his mom’s cooking, let’s be reality

It’s his night.
