GDT: Game 49: New York Rangers @ Ottawa Senators, 7pm ET, MSG, NHLN

[irishlaxburger2]

This is a team clearly just going through the motions. Might as well be September hockey

 

[Row I Goon]

These are the same players but not the same team from pre-Xmas.

WTF has happened?

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Who cares? The problem with the PP is not the second unit that gets 12 seconds at the end of a disaster.

And in those 12 seconds of blatant giveaway

 

[zlev]

i hate this coach. why are we still running these f***ing horrible lines. they dont do anything.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

You have to be blind to not see that the pp needs a change right now.

Or useless hasbeen coach

 

[Flan the incredible]

They have to shoot on the PP. The have forgotten about Kreider standing in front.

 

[gabevh3]

They looked like they didn't know what they need to do on the powerplay

 

[LokiDog]

Honestly, I think it would be more fun to just f***ing lose out and start making real changes this summer than it would be to watch us pull into a 5 seed with our tail between our legs and watch the vegan wonder twins wilt faster than organic kale in the playoffs.

 

[CasusBelli]

Trouba looking pretty good now, eh?

The guy stabilizes an otherwise terrible defense. He’s our Girardi and Staal. This team is done. No more heart. No energy. It’s just going through the motions.

 

[Profet]

Hey Drury...

Time to take the world series trophy off the office wall and walk into Dolan's office and explain how you need to blow up this team. Right now you can still blame Gorton for most of this BS. But not for long.

This rebuild is over... And it's stillborn.

 

[DuneGoon84]

AV ruined those teams. The only reason he went to the finals in year one was because he took over torts' team. The last coach that had any concept of building a team with an identity.

Disagree, AV unlocked them. They were flying all over the place. He tuned them up. Torts was holding them back. Not saying AV was great but his teams early on were outstanding.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This is torture watching this team. And you just know Drury is going to do something stupid and trade our first rounder.

 

[bl02]

Or useless hasbeen coach

Fair but same shit happens every year with different coaches. I'm glad we have the frist overall pick sitting on the bench for pretty much the entirety of every shitty looking pp right now.

 

[RGY]

How is PP1 allowed to go on like this? How? I get the core of this group should be dismantled but when does the coach stick to them? What does Lavy have to lose other than his job which he is on track to. Change all the units up

 

[RangersFan1994]

Love having a team where the players can quit anytime without any consequences. Great soft passive team Drury and Gorton built. It was the way Drury played as a Rangers overpaid passive lazy soft and always the first one to quit

 

[CasusBelli]

These are the same players but not the same team from pre-Xmas.

WTF has happened?

I maintain that goalies influence the mood in a locker room more than any other players. Igor radiates negative energy as it is; can’t imagine his poor performance helps — and that’s contagious.

 

[DialUp]

Going to need at least 4 to win this one

 

[zlev]

i dont think PP1 should necessarily be changed but Zibanejad should've been benched after that horrific pass

 

[Reijo29]

If I start reading people putting the coach down I’m jumping out this windows. Cut it out with that loser nonsense. For the life of me how they can’t score anymore and always go down 1-0 is beyond me.

 

[Daves a mess]

This core would get beat up at Chuck e Cheese and the coach bs is starting already?

Is that the comforting fallback schtick here EVERY time?

 

[Profet]

These are the same players but not the same team from pre-Xmas.

WTF has happened?

They know better than the coach... And since there are no consequences of they don't listen... They don't listen.

This personnel needs a hard ass coach that believes in accountability.

Peter is not it.

 

[AirGut]

week break, Drury will make a trade

 

[RangerLifer]

They looked like they didn't know what they need to do on the powerplay

They used to be on the move on the PP in the O zone. That opened up the lanes and they had shots.

 

[DanielBrassard]

The PP setup is pissing me off. They never use the bumper, they never work the puck down low. Zibanejad Is a piece of shit.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

They have to shoot on the PP. The have forgotten about Kreider standing in front.

There’s no lanes to shoot through. They have an awkward handedness setup and also don’t use Kreider as a creator from the goal line position so there’s just so few options when their high school give and go from the left side is stifled
