GDT: Game # 46 - Rangers vs Kraken - 1pm EST - MSG/NHLN

[CupSeeker]

Here's the hard reality, our system sucks. Every game our opponents break out of their zone with speed and we almost never do. Also, Ryan Reeves cannot play in this league anymore; not sure if he ever could. But he is a complete negative. We need to rid ourselves of him, Mckegg and Rooney by playoff time (if we make it). Play kids with upside even if they hurt us short term because this is a one and done team if we get into the dance. Enough with these older guys who can't play. Our 4th line when we are ready to compete with have Barclay Goodrow on it and everyone else will slot in higher than him because they are better than him. I can live with Hunt on the 4th line and maybe Gauthier. But, McKegg, Rooney, Reaves, Brodz cannot be on this team come playoff time and going forward. I am ready to see Pajuniemi on a 3rd line to see what he can do at this level; play the kids real minutes! Turk says he is trying to win hockey games. f*** that. Try and win a championship! To do that our young players will need to improve and that will only happen if they play and for those skill guys, get them some PP time. Get them touches. This current strategy blows.

You guys ready for the Strome contract negotiations this summer?

Vitali Kravtsov and Sammy Blais returning in the 2nd round after Igor steals the 1st round series

Imagine trading your captain Ryan McDonagh and JT Miller to the Lightning and telling them you really, really need to get Libor Hajek back or the trade's a no go.

I'm really not even sure what to say anymore. I know I know, they are missing Fox, Chytil, and Kakko but it's embarassing how bad they are 5v5. They barely look like an NHL team. Seattle is a bunch of 3rd liners outside of Gourde, Eberle and McCann and they skate circles around the Rangers.

Vitali fell. Through Hartford and Russia. His body strayed out of space and time.

Montreal has nothing to look forward to. Weak leadership at the top.

5v5

One can argue that good 5v5 play leads to penalties drawn and gives the elite PP opportunities.

You would complain even if the lineup was full of filip forsbergs on steroids and meth.

Couture needs spell check

Just do the trade now and have Gourde and Giordano stay in New York.

Jonathan Huberdeau the person at the press conference really looks like Jonathan Huberdeau the person at the photoshoot

At least Brett Howden was included.

 

[LokiDog]

If we trade for Miller, we have to refer to his tenure here as JT the Grey and JT the White.

Was Gorts the Balrog then?

 

[LokiDog]

I'm about to be JT the hung myself

Punctuation feels really important in this sentence.

Like… is this JT “the hung”, myself or JT the “hung myself”?

If the former, congratulations on your procedure.

Still too early to tell, I was told. Lundkvist is gonna tilt it in our favor, or something.

Sather, the ancient one.

Dude is elite when he plays against us.

Missing Blais too. Mckegg, Brodzinski, Gauthier/Hunt/Reaves would not be in the lineup.

We need depth players to help balance the play line to line, shift to shift.

If Stevie Y agreed to your offer.
