GDT: Game #46 - RANGERS @ Islanders - 7pm - MSG+

If Mika's a 3rd liner, Kreider is a 5th liner.

i'd be surprised if we came back here. particularly if Trouba is out, who is eating those minutes. I'd be dissappointed if someone doesn't run one of the Isles.

Have you watched this team? We are one of the least physical teams in the league.

The team has holes but is not middling. The coach is garbage. 3...2...1 on the Quinn jock sniffers.

They play in the Hell Division and they are Top 8 in both goals/for and goals/against. Middling? Hardly. They are good but coached to mediocre results because they give points away late and have a hard time matching energy early. Who could that be on?

Yes. This but unironically.

It still disappoints me!

Against a trash team like the Devils, you can ice Tanner Glass and you'd be fine. In this game, playing Bitetto, playing Rooney and Howden over Gauthier, all of these things will add up. That Kreider line is a mess. The Howden line is terrible except for Crab trying to make offensive plays.

Quinn and the Rangers look like an All star team against the Devils but snap back to reality, college coach and a middling team.

Has a player ever been more loved here than Gauthier, without doing a thing?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They are playing rather middling tonight. Islanders bringing it.

They are indeed playing middling. The first half was even, the second half wasn't. This game is a perfect example of what makes coaching important. Trotz is really adept at turning chicken shit into chicken salad.

If they continue this nonsense they'll get shutout.

 

[CLW]

I mean after winning 4 straight against practically an AHL squad and gaining 0 ground, did anyone really still think this team was likely to make it in anyway?

Quinn did, and possibly the FO. What else explains the strange TOI over the last games?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Such an avoidable goal.

These players IQ is not impressive. They seem very dumb especially if fans can see the play happening from their TV or mobile devices

 

[Narcissus]

Probably because Hajek has been so consistently bad.

Hajek is all tools and no toolbox but at least he can skate his way back into the play.

Bitetto is worse than a forward on D.

We won’t make the playoffs, fine. But that pill would be a lot easier to swallow if I knew that Quinn would play the kids once we’re mathematically eliminated. But I doubt it.

Enver Lisin and Adam Clendening

 

[Barnaby]

I want to like Kreider, and at the end of the day I’m more of a supporter than a doubter, but man. Where are all these people who told me I was wrong for saying he doesn’t give a shit sometimes?

Shocker. The inconsistent player didn’t become magically consistent when he got paid.

 

[aufheben]

Ok, NOW you can kiss the playoffs goodbye.

 

[TGWL]

0-1 down to the Islanders feels like 0-3. I really can't stand that team.

Thoughts exactly. This game has left such a sour taste in my mouth already. We're only down by 1, yet it feels like they've scored a few times that period off dumb plays. The amount of times we throw in back in our own end and play with it, only to turn it over is really something I can't even process. This is not 3 on 3.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

No Bill Pido game doesn’t count

 

[Rempe73]

Enver Lisin and Adam Clendening

I still f***ing adore Clendening lol

 

[Tob]

Trouba can't afford to lose anymore IQ. Hopefully he's just dazed.

Whats his name...E-Etem! Emerson Etem (yes, I was part of the guilty party, lol).

Honestly, I can't wait until they're eliminated.

This is a process. I thought we established this.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

So was that hit dirty

I don’t really care that much, I just thought it’s hilarious how the night is going so far.

 

[Machinehead]

And you know what? I could do without the five GDT's where every other post is complaining that we didn't hit Wilson enough.

 

[duhmetreE]

We have the talent, but we can't compete at this level of hockey.

Youth + Lack of leadership + Average Coaching is way too much for talent to overcome, on its own.
