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

[IDvsEGO]

How many cups did we win under Lundqvist?

I wasnt aware that was his fault.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Our whole game plan is basically Helms Deep.

I was only half kidding

 

[EdJovanovski]

That’s literally impossible.

Our record is impossible lol, just watching teams play I think we look the worst. Even teams like Seattle & Arizona dominate us.

 

[Machinehead]

how we lookin? just tuned in

Tune back out

 

[Rangers in 7]

Just once I want Sam and joe to tell it how it is, shut the f*** up about this is what Seattle does to teams…..

just say the rangers look terrible!!!!

11 shots through 2 periods is atrocious

 

[CLW]

Gallant's system in Vegas was nothing like this. He actually had 4 lines that could skate extremely well & forecheck relentlessly.

That's what has me thinking he is firmly under the thumb of management this time. Especially since we look like an even weaker Quinn team 5v5.

 

[bl02]

Igor backhand and i'm like oh no that's going over glass. actually ends up to be perfect lol

 

[duhmetreE]

we dont practice 5v5 but we practice special teams out the ass.

maybe it's time to adjust that?

 

[will1066]

Miller did not want to give it to McKegg. Icing was the better option

They’ve been as good as saying it- this is as critical as they’ve been this season

Tune back out

Chiefs Bengals starting soon will do

 

[Brutananadilewski]

I wasnt aware that was his fault.

No, it wasn't, but when you have a goalie who stands on his head game in, game out, you get shit like this game. You get a player who allows coaches to remain past their expiration date because they hide the negatives.

I saw it under Lundqvist, and I seriously don't want to see a rerun with Shesty in net.

 

[CasusBelli]

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. This. Is. A. Shit. Roster.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Which line is our 5th line?

 

[Chytilmania]

Watching the Jumbotron wondering why passing through 3 defenders didn't work

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Which line is our 5th line?

Our 3rd line

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. This. Is. A. Shit. Roster.

Its where it should be at this point in the build, but its got a lot of holes and when you lose a couple players it shows

 

[Boris Zubov]

That's what has me thinking he is firmly under the thumb of management this time. Especially since we look like an even weaker Quinn team 5v5.

He was handed an extremely flawed roster here. Hard to implement your gameplan.

 

[Machinehead]

I just don't understand the game plan in the offensive zone, why are they so f***ing spaced out instead of having players supporting the puck carrier when the puck is along the walls. Strome tries a reverse behind the net and instead of Panarin following him in support he's near the right wing corner. What the f*** are they doing?

I see it, but it's so bad that's it's hard to describe to somebody who's not seeing it.

"The Rangers don't play hockey."

"What do you mean they don't play hockey?"

Like, puck support is not a tactic, it's a fabric of the game. It's not like, in soccer, this team plays a 4-3-3 and this team plays a 4-4-2. Not doing puck support is like not doing headers.

 

[Breaded Fox]

 

[bl02]

Braden Schneider. That's all I got.

 

[Fitzy]

The issue the entire damn season has been the transition game. Defending and attacking have been fine- it’s the successful transition from defense to offense where this team is really really poor.

 

[ReddestRum]

Lucky we got out of the 2nd with just one goal against.

 

[mike14]

Gallant not having Greco and Barron in the lineup is stupid.

You're not the 1st on here to be calling for Greco.
What are people seeing from a 28 year old AHL journeyman that they think will help here?

 

[rangers1314]

Where’s the “but their record!” crew now?

Awful.

 

[Daves a mess]

There just isn't anymore "give him one more game" blurbs for Gauthier anymore. He's has had every opportunity.

NHL body. AHL hockey sense. Shame. I was a fan of the trade when it went down.
