GDT: Game 48: New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights, 7pm ET (Game is on ESPN, and ESPN+)

Or maybe the rest of the league was sleep walking to start the season (which is very much a thing) while our team came out guns blazing with a new HC and a huge chip on their shoulder after last playoffs. Unfortunately though, all of that has worn off and the rest of the league (outside of the Metro) is beginning to turn it on

I'd rather see them have a shitty start and get better as the season goes on. That's a better way to progress.

PK looking like he's in a Gap commercial but he is spot on about the Rangers

 

[Machinehead]

I think it’s just the Rangers lol.

It's partially the Rangers but these guys are the new Kings.

And the Kings are also still the Kings.

That's going to be a playoff series as fun as waterboarding.

This is exactly what happened.

 

[Row I Goon]

Right now I’d rather listen to Subban than watch the Rangers…..

 

[Harbour Dog]

Subban is right about us being "there but not there". Half-assed plays turn into the primest of prime scoring chances.

Right now I’d rather listen to Subban than watch the Rangers…..

Almost posted this exact same thing.

This is spot on!

I never said they have no competition, I said they're the best team in the league. That doesn't mean #'s 2-10 aren't right there.

True, I guess I was referring more to the general discourse around them.

Good on Kris Knoblauch I guess.

blow it up. Back to rebuild.

I'm hearing on the wire that Guitar Guy will soon drop a new EP. A Spotify exclusive.

I Wear It On My Sleeve

If there's one silver lining to the game so far its that Mika will be happy to know that they had Beyond Meat digital board ads tonight

 

[Tob]

I miss what the Hawks are doing rn. Casually rebuilding with all sunshine and prospects.

I would agree. Though starting this way also doesn’t mean they can’t figure it out as the season progresses. Ebbs and flows are unique in all situations.

I’m just worried a few of their core aren’t aging well. And if that’s true, it will absolutely limit their ability to have a deep playoff run.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

There is a 100% chance they lose tomorrow night. I was hoping they could squeak out a win tonight, oh well.

 

[Reijo29]

They’re not a bad team, so stupid, but they’re playing bad. Everyone forgot how to score, and other then last game where I thought Shesterkin really had no chance on any of the goals, they’re just not getting the big save. You would think they snap out of it but when, it’s become too long now.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Looked like a pretty good tip by “Young Sheldon.”

But I do feel like Knights don’t need many more chances to get a couple more. Just hope they don’t come fast in the second to make our boys sag like sad sacks.

Don’t wanna say I called it again but…

At least they didn’t fold like the usual cheap suits.

Still, what a frustrating as f*** game.

 

[Machinehead]

Good on Kris Knoblauch I guess.

Yeah, I'm happy for him, but the next time a team getting almost 60% of the scoring chances in their games fires their coach, I'm putting in my resume.

 

[Profet]

Zibanejad had a really great chance in the first and he shit his pants. If he scores that, like he would have in the past, everyone just remembers that he had a nice goal.

When he's not finishing, this is the player he is.

Same can be said for Laf... Two super high ranger chances and he shits the bed on both.

Edit: that is supposed to be high "danger" chances... But I'm not fixing it.

They're a bad team.

Granted, I think they're in an awful stretch of luck right now but it's really exposing the legitimate flaws.

Me too

Oh absolutely. I know he will get some Jack Adams votes because that's just how it is, but the truth is that he did nothing. Stuart Skinner and Connor McDavid unf***ed themselves, that's about it. Woodcroft had one of the best winning% in Oilers history before he was fired, he's a good coach.

 

[Kane One]

Why is there a fashion show going on

I’d hire him after Laviolette gets let go. He’s the one who got Edmonton playing the way they are now.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Wtf is this segment...?

 

[Machinehead]

Subban implying Matthews can't score off the ice and I absolutely believe it.

He talks like he's reading a medical pamphlet.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

They should have hired him after they fired Quinn.
