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

[Machinehead]

Bwahahahaha

Why bother? We play tomorrow. It's going to be up for like 10 hours.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The song played in the arena when the Rangers lose is called "New York Hustle."

That pisses me off.

 

[FoxyClean]

No PGT according to the mods

Don’t speculate.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Im 33. No one likes this new brand of figure skating the sport is turning into. The sport gets less and less entertaining every year

If you like physical hockey fine, but basically getting the biggest asshole is 90s thinking. The game evolved from skill-less scrubs.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Does that matter? Like you said, we're talking about now.

In the context that Dolan had his grubby hands on this team, fans were calling for his head, missing the post-season 14 out of 20 seasons, finishing at the bottom of the league.

It took a lot of pain and misery to get here, moreso than what the Rangers had to endure, and that's with Sather pre-lockout.

I'm so tired of that song.

How about, like, don't play anything? We lost.

I liked the game tonight, Igor made 14 saves on 14 of the shots he did make a save on. Mika's hair grew just a little bit longer, and the witch doctor had a strong performance against Lafreniere. This is a team that would not be denied being embarrassed for a second straight game.

 

[ReddestRum]

GG didn't lose more than 24 (not including OT loser point games) games in a season. Lavi already with 16.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

If we completely bomb for the rest of the season and miss the playoffs, you have to imagine they're going to tear it down.

Fans (who dream of a cup) got hustled

You're missing the point.

If the Knicks can succeed, there's no reason the Rangers can't "because ownership."

Hughes no doubt, and Stuetzle maybe were better prospects sure. But they were also properly developed, instead of being pushed into 3rd liner roles, taught to play grinder defensive no mistake hockey after being THE MAN before the draft in juniors and in Liiga.

Saying "if we just had Hughes" is such a f***ing copout, just like blaming Igor for this game is. There are far deeper issues on this club that are not solved by simply swapping Hughes/Kakko or Laf/Stuetzle.

Quinn had the job of pushing a crap Rangers team into the playoffs or he'd get fired. He and Gallant would have treated Hughes and Stützle exactly the same as he did Laf and Kakko, using the same logic that the NHL is not a development league. LOL.

Welcome to Bettman's "Holiday on Ice" League.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

we already know how this season is going to play out. Drury will move assets in the next few weeks to fill holes that always are there. They’ll get into the playoffs and get bounced in round 1/2

Drury has no choice but to go for it.

Some of these moves discussed could happen in the summer if they get embarrassed in the playoffs again, but not happening in season

 

[Tob]

I heard from a guy here that you need to access some kind of road to score even strength goals, even 41 year old Blake wheeler has tied zibanejad with 7 ESG on the season.

You can't score goals unless you go to the protected part of the ice and prance around like a long haired fairy.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Congrats to Chris for dying a slow death instead of a quick one. That’s a real win for the fans!

What does this even mean? Mika was the 1C and was coming off of several very good seasons. The signing was understandable.

NEW YORK RENTERS, BABY.

 

[Profet]

I swear if this team trades a first rounder for a rental I'm done for a bit.

 

[Machinehead]

In the organization's defense, it would be nice if the salary cap stopped being 22 dollars.

Are you really using one of the worst franchises in sports for 20 years as your model of success? They also haven't won a championship since the 70s. They've been good for a couple of years, big whoop.

Our 2011-2012 team is my favorite team of all time. I was 3 when we won the cup in 1994 so I dont really remember that.

The 2011-2012 team either lead the league or was near top of the league in fights, hits, etc. every play after the whistle theyd be messing with the opposition. That team was an absolute pain in the ass for the opposition. Id take the 2011-2012 team over this team in a nanosecond

Sather is still a Senior Advisor to this team.

 

[Row I Goon]

Was saving this for the PGT - but fukk it

What good are first rounders when we get a 1OA and we ruin his talent?
