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

[Rempe73]

That's an oxymoron lol

Yupp I’m aware lol

 

[DialUp]

I can't wait until the ultimate troll jock sniffer defends this move. Honestly, this board has become insufferable lately because of posters like him. Condescending, insulting, and arrogant. I won't name names but fact is everyone knows who it is.

Who the heck defends Quinn here? My eyes must be polarized to that shit

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

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

exactly who gauthier reminds me of

 

[Off Sides]

What's funny is all the Trouba concern posts. I thought he was more useless than a bag of pebbles, amirite?

No to me, he is good, bad, good, mediocre, bad, bad, mediocre bad, good, good. Usually all in one game.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

The problem is clear. They lack depth on D. Nothing a coach can do about that. Next season, the improvement on D will be awesome.

It really is, for so long. We basically are shedding two defensive anchors per season. Next up Smith and Bitetto. Addition by subtraction.

I really hope Shesty makes it until then.

 

[Slaydagnar]

Brutal period. Get Kreider off the top line and put Kravstov there. Kreider’s lazy ass play help cost us that goal.

Watch the replay of the goal:
Kreider’s lazy ass play back checking at the blue line he turned the puck over twice
Bench his sorry ass. He has been garbage defensively for months.. he’s floating around

 

[Machinehead]

Hits are just a statistical number that somebody decides counts or not. Just a couple of seasons ago Vegas got some credit for hits that didn't exist, every game. The number doesn't mean much. Our physicality isn't based on how many or how little hits we get written down on the scoresheet. We lack hits that separate players from the puck, create turn overs, or just force players to make different plays by avoiding our hits.

With that said, teams are better than us right now.

This board really needs to watch other teams. Nobody does all this hitting that we imagine.

It's obsession that this board just made up.

 

[LOFIN]

Hate to see it

We’re not ever making the playoffs with Quinn at coach so no need to worry

No matter who coaches the Rangers next season, they're in the playoffs.

There's a group of them. It's about half and half of those that respectful and just have a difference of opinion. Then the rest are kind of douchy about it. And there's one douchebag that's probably taken the mantle as the biggest douche on this board.

The problem is clear. They lack depth on D. Nothing a coach can do about that. Next season, the improvement on D will be awesome.

Also, looking at how exposed the Rangers are, more backbone down the middle wouldn't hurt. Zib and Strome are fantastic going forward, not sure what Chytil is. The kids are outmuscled but that's to be expected. The next gen on D will also need seasoning and building up.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

I really don't think they were that bad. They've had much worse 1st periods. If Bitetto is not playing like he shouldn't be then it's very likely 0-0.

That's an oxymoron lol

John Giannone once did an MSG 145. He just stopped with 5 seconds left and stood there like a grocery bagger waiting for the cashier to finish checking through grocery items.

 

[Rempe73]

Too many people don't understand that basic thought.

1. We’re in the playoffs in any other division
2. We’re in the playoffs with a better coach
3. We need to see what we have in guys like Strome, Zibanejad, Buchnevich (if we must trade him), etc. in the playoffs before resigning them.

I wouldn’t mind not making the playoffs if it wasn’t for those 3 things.

Bittetto hit the cocaine between periods

 

[FireGerardGallant]

No Trouba for the 2nd
Rip

 

[MysticLeviathan]

upper body injury sounds like a concussion

 

[duhmetreE]

Can Blackwell play defense?

 

[DialUp]

No matter who coaches the Rangers next season, they're in the playoffs.

Hope you are right! I think they will compete for the 8th spot and it will be a slog.

 

[TGWL]

Terrible pass by Mika, followed by an ever worse pass by Miller.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

that’s the game. that’s the season.

 

[LOFIN]

upper body injury sounds like a concussion

Well that was fairly obvious from his body language after the hit

 

[RangersFan1994]

wow unbelievable
