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

[DialUp]

Kraken should be ashamed of themselves that they haven't tied the game yet.

How many of those was thanks to Shesty?

Again, Pittsburgh had all the excuses to be playing like shit and being a playoff bubble team, at best. But they not only played good hockey, they won games, and are currently in 2nd.

Let's not beat around the bush: if we lose Panarin or Zibs for a considerable amount of time, this team goes into a freefall.

…and we were without Panarin for five games too.

Have zero confidence in Hajek going back deep to get the puck

 

[duhmetreE]

I’m very much okay with moving on from the Strome era, even if we don’t have a 2C to fill in for the start of next year. We’ll figure it. The window is just opening up. I’d prefer to not have zero 2C options, but I still prefer it to committing any money and term to Strome.

If you're playing Hunt or Goodrow with Panarin, does it matter if that player is at Center or Wing?

 

[Kocur26]

Fire Gord Murphy Bringing Chuck Knoblock

 

[Boris Zubov]

I'm not sure what this is referring to. The Rangers have been outshot by Seattle throughout the game, but not this badly.

Look at his avatar.

What did Goodrow do to be punished by being saddled with that 4th line?

That’s kinda the point. If Goodrow has to be 2C next year, what’s the difference really? I don’t want this team to commit to Strome. It will be disastrous.

 

[Machinehead]

What did Goodrow do to be punished by being saddled with that 4th line?

We had to put an NHL player on that line.

 

[Bob Richards]

I'd like to imagine that goalies are not actually part of the team and its embedded in history somewhere.

Like when they first started playing hockey in 1885 or whatever it was just empty nets but then two random guys showed up and sat in them and the skaters were too shy to tell them to move and thus the position was born.

 

[effen]

Imagine if we actually practiced it. So everyone could be on the same page.

You'd be asking an incredible amount of the defensemen to have two sets of playstyles down so cold they can do both instinctually just based on who's out there and not mess up.

God forbid there's a broken change and a 1st liner gets on the ice with a 4th liner. Pandemonium.

 

[duhmetreE]

It might not seem like it... but Kraken are averaging 28.0 shots per game. We're at 28.4. Bottom3

 

[Richard Banger]

One of what guys?

One of the guys who believes that rich old guys pull the strings?

I also f***ing believe the sky is blue!

Listen I get it. Old rich whitey rules the free world. But then don’t. That’s coming from a black man who paychecks were signed off by Jerry Jones. This isn’t political or a power struggle for rule. These are sports lovers who are just in different more successful positions than others. But I’ll tell you right now there is no sabotage or some conspiracy bullshit about not letting go of responsibility. When they give up the title they are held accountable to letting that go by all of their peers.

 

[will1066]

Your breakouts and general structure can't really be different. Your cycles have to be very basic too as the D wouldn't have any idea when to pinch in or not most of the time.

Yes. The problem is everything you described depends on winning puck and board battles. We're getting worked every game in that department.

 

[Rempe73]

What a bad, boring game

No, I'm just talking about basic transition and 5v5 play. Not 2 styles of play

Gallant should be hammering in 5v5 drills. Instead we continue to get PP work and 4v3

 

[Brutananadilewski]

…and we were without Panarin for five games too.

5 games you consider "considerable?"

 

[bl02]

What did Goodrow do to be punished by being saddled with that 4th line?

yep because he is one of the few who can play up and down the lineup and be trusted by the coach in all situations.

 

[Machinehead]

Tbf I actually do like Hunt but he hasn't been right since the injury

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Great play by Schneider to evade pressure and get the puck out of harms way after Panarin put him in an incredibly difficult position.

Why do you keep saying conspiracy?

He's the chief executive of the Rangers.

 

[mike14]

Terrible pass by Panarin to Schneider

 

[mrmel29]

When the 4th line is out there Igor expects a flurry of good scoring chances to save

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Terrible pass by Panarin to Schneider

The dumb plays by Panarin have become more and more common.

His production has been great, but hes a big part of the problem tbh.

when people say 4th line, I don't know which one they're referring to
