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

[NYRFANMANI]

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?

I guess it's his speed. Looked like our fastest skater when he was up here.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

They also have two of the best players of this generation. As long as one of them is going they’re going to be good

They were missing both!

And they not only played competitively, they actually won games!

He beat McDavids record for a lap IIRC

 

[Machinehead]

The words out of Gallant's mouth 'it's basically the same system'

It does start at the top. This team is not playing modern day NHL hockey and we are terrible at executing Quinn/Gallant hockey

They look like they're trying to play in the 70's and early 80's when the game was very east-west, scrummy, and violently slow. Almost rugby-like.

Of course, that's when Sather played and coached.

Speed on the forecheck, and a bit of a spark plug for games like this.

 

[TGWL]

Othmann won't be like that. He's a real one.

He needs skating work. Story of our forward prospects.

 

[CLW]

Who knows how much input he actually has?

My problem is the constant lack of effort. Guys gliding all over, slow to get the bench on line changes, lazy passes. Stuff like that is on the coaching staff.

It's more than that, they are just milling about as if they don't have a plan. You can't blame the roster for that, in Vegas what was impressive was that the players were in sync.

 

[Richard Banger]

They were missing both!

And they not only played competitively, they actually won games!

They only missed Crosby for about 5 games.

 

[duhmetreE]

I fully understand why Gallant has been fired mid-season a couple times now.

This is the absolute worst we've looked in a long time.... not in every aspect but 5v5. If I were the owner I would start asking questions.

 

[CupSeeker]

I know it’s a meme at this point but Kravtsov would really change the complexion of this boring ass team so much. He is the exact player we lack.

I would argue we have enough petulant children for one roster.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Looks like I will be watching the US Canada soccer match in Spanish later. It is not in English on TV.

it is on Paramount+ which reminds me, f*** Hulu

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I would murder someone to get Bertuzzi on this team

 

[Circus86]

Solution for the third period:

 

[Machinehead]

I know Gallant can do it because in November, this team was legitimately great and Kakko was breaking out.

Then the word came down to get back to the gameplan.

 

[CupSeeker]

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

I saw that too; smart play by 79.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I would murder someone to get Bertuzzi on this team

That would be a counter productive murder.

Are we really blaming Sather? Gallant is not playing the same system as he did in VGK. That’s on him

 

[duhmetreE]

I would murder someone to get Bertuzzi on this team

we need someone like him but he's not 'Rona jabbed' so he wont be able to play in New York or Canada. Slight issue.

Garland is that guy

 

[Brutananadilewski]

They only missed Crosby for about 5 games.

Try 11

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Are we really blaming Sather? Gallant is not playing the same system as he did in VGK. That’s on him

He doesn’t have the players for that. We have bad team skating speed.

 

[Machinehead]

Are we really blaming Sather? Gallant is not playing the same system as he did in VGK. That’s on him

Yes, we're blaming the one thing that hasn't changed after going through everything else and getting the exact same product.

Gallant isn't playing the same system anymore? Gee, could that be because your system has to fit Rangers "hockey" if you want to coach here?

 

[duhmetreE]

Are we really blaming Sather? Gallant is not playing the same system as he did in VGK. That’s on him

why though?

why was the Front Office happy with Quinn? Are they giving them the playbook?

how do we looks so bad at basic things.

 

[Richard Banger]

You don’t get fired for being bad 5V5. You get fired for results. He isn’t going anywhere

 

[CupSeeker]

Rooney , Reaves, McKegg, Brodzinski, These guys are unplayable. Reaves is at like a 33% xG all season. If the Rangers are a serious team they would just bench Reaves when everyone is healthy but the won't because they are a joke.

My man. Exactly this.

 

[Chytilmania]

Do we have any 2 on 1s this year? I'm talking chances, not goals.
