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

[2014nyr]

refs letting the isles get away with murder out there

starting from martins run at trouba from center ice because he was mad he got knocked over

we looked like a young team, deer in headlights and scrambling for a while after until that 3-0 goal

nice pushback since, but an absolute joke from the refs - the play on kravtsov, they bs on fox, the high finish from 2 guys on lindgren, how many runs into igor

smith is having a great game. k'andre continues to fight the puck, losing trouba really hurts him. dressing bitetto is really unhelpful down a dman. hajek is a guy who would probably step up with more mins, at the very least he's a far better skater / puck mover. very lucky we didn't go with jones in this, this is a street fight. refs are letting the isles run around at will. would like to see a response, but lindgren hasn't thrown many open ice hits and smith would undoubtedly actually get called if he stepped into someone. i've given up any hope of kreider ever seizing the moment and pushing back with some physical play. hes got puck battles to lose and passes to fumble. but we're not backing away, the future is still bright

If he gets credited with an assist on that goal it should be acknowledged that it was a result of the puck maybe tipping off of him as it was being rimmed around being the net and he was fully tied up. Him earning a point there doesn’t really say much about his play one way or another.

I know that. Some points are like that.

All aboard winning the lottery as the 15th worst team with 0.9% chance and the hockey universe implodes

Nevermind, Krav apple has been added.

They probably needed to review to see who tipped it, which was Rooney, so obviously it’s his goal, with Smith and Kravtsov getting the assists.

Devils got scored on by Teddy Bleuger, Bryan Rust, and Evan Rodgriguez all in 1 game. They'll tell you that this isn't the darkest timeline in Devils history but don't let them fool you. It is now.

You clearly were not around during their Corey Millen days.

 

[chosen]

That's great, still don't care, want him on the 4th line.

Call your congressman.

They also changed the goal to Rooney. Last I looked it was Smith's goal unassisted. The replay did look like it changed direction on the way in.

Chosen who?
Well, acktually....

Ooh, you're clever.

Kravtsov needs a promotion, but the 3rd line needs to be fixed as well. Quinn should roll out completely new lines in the 3rd.

Laf-Zibs-Buch
Panarin-Strome-Kravtsov
Kreider-Chytil-Kakko
Howden-Rooney-Blackwell

I agree with this. That 3rd line needs a shake up. Its too young for a game like this. They, as a whole, are floundering. Nothing happening, nothing generating.

You need someone who is quicker and more physical. Kreider isnt banging bodies all the time but he can get in on the forecheck faster than those 3 are doing

Now that would be funny!

i was not

I'm just shitposting lol

Isles are going to choke the life out of this game in the 3P. Going to be an absolutely brutal watch as NYR dump 10000 picks and recover absolutely none of them.

 

[DialUp]

Ooh, you're clever.

Thanks! LGR!

 

[duhmetreE]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coach not belong as much as Quinn. Maybe Eakins when he was in Edmonton.

He's a good 'individual guy'. He helps the individual grow/mature. He's below average in team building. We are not a good team. We have great individuals though.

That looks good to me. So that means there is no way it will happen

 

[chosen]

Sorry I should clarify...

I dont want Bitetto by any means on the ice.

My point is what a waste of a roster spot that was and a stupid stupid decision made yet again.

I don't want Hajek, either, but unfortunately nothing else is available until next season.

Next game prepare for Bitetto AND Hajek, and some fans will complain they're playing.

Balance has been brought back to the Force

Why not give Tarmo a shot, not like he can be any worse then those two

Dumping that many picks could be dangerous. And some guitar store would probably want some of those back.

Instantly, @EdJovanovski experiences a migraine

 

[Machinehead]

Balance has been brought back to the Force

Took the NHL a half hour to come to the outcome we knew live.

Perfect balance of the young guys and the vets

And still only one consistent scoring line.

Too bad Panarin can't play on every line.
