GDT: Game #49 - New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights , 7pm EST, MSG

[Mandar]

Not bad.

74 in for 3RW
Goodrow to 4c
Lesh out.

That would be my change

why does having 74 in make us a better team than if we have Lesh in?

Because I believe 74 is better.

Because I’d like cuylle to actually have NHL caliber line mates

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lesh is terible. Please remove him from the lineup.

you are certainly entitled to your opinion.....74 might be better skilled, but production-wise, there isnt really much separating the two.

Unless its your expectation that 74 is cool with skating around well out of range of contact, and not really contributing to the offense (also assuming you think he has some sort of offensive skills)

 

[Machinehead]

Guys, enough.

Well we need a skilled playmaker who can put up points and 74 is designed for such

 

[Jauffre]

Never been so hyped to watch Lafreniere, Chytil & Kakko. Hope they kill it again tonight.

 

[Crease]

Rangers must really hate Goodrow at center. He seems like such an obvious solution to 4C and it would open up a spot at RW for Kravtsov.

I’m not saying Krav is an all star that has just been stunted by mean old Gerard gallant, but I am saying that he’s shown me more than lesh has.

If there isn’t much separating the two players production wise, wouldn’t you want to give the ice time to the player we drafted, is younger, is cost controlled for longer, and in theory has this high upside?

Yea he’s soft, but he had definitely been playing with more confidence before he was scratched. Wouldn’t you want to try and foster his development?

I’d rather do that then play the dime a dozen player we pick off the scrap heap that does nothing of note. There are a million of these players available all the time.

 

[TominNC]

FFS Gerard, if Kravtsov isn't in the lineup when they come to Vancouver next month, I might just have to perform a citizens arrest

Hope he's benched that game. Then they take YOU away in handcuffs.

@Machinehead Why someone who's clearly not a Rangers fan at this point allowed to troll in the open?

I agree. Can't he have his own Kravtsov forum?

 

[Zynbanejad]

One of the best Ranger games I’ve ever seen. Man what a more likeable and fun team that was than what we have now.

Yeah you're right. Kravtsov wasn't on it

 

[TominNC]

Vesey on the top line is stupid, him Goodrow and Gauthier make a perfect 4th line. Can we just try putting Kakko up there and putting Kravtsov with the other two kids?

No, we wants the kids to play well, so leave Kakko with them as line 2.

Kravtsov needs to be on the core training program Buch was back in 2017 when we went through this same song and dance with AV. He isnt physically conditioned enough to play a full season + playoffs. It's very simple and Valliquette mentioned it on Staple's podcast; which I actually highly recommend because Vally is very insightful about what goes on within the organization and why certain decisions are made. He is also close to Drury so you can pick up on some interesting nuggets.

Do you have a link to which episode this was? Was it recent?

Episode came out yesterday, I listened on Spotify

Kravtsov and Lesh are the same age. People were freaking out over replacing a 29 year old with him. I don't care who was drafted where or if we drafted them. Lesh can play 4th line and Krav hasn't earned a top 9 spot. So that's where we are

Guys, enough.

It's driven by ONE person who the powers that be have decided not to muzzle. So you get this nonsense every day.

Hey Fellas,

Lines have been updated for Vegas and the Rangers..



Kravtsov out, and looks like Mark Stone is out for Vegas,

 

[ajdj10]

Never been so hyped to watch Lafreniere, Chytil & Kakko. Hope they kill it again tonight.

Yeah, can't wait to see them kill it on the bench.

 

[McRanger92]

I work in the area and saw Harpur bright and early this morning. I assumed he was heading in before the morning skate to sign on the dotted line. Seems like a good guy.

 

[Machinehead]

You can criticize the coach to your heart's content but posts wishing losses on the team will not be tolerated going forward. It's completely toxic.

 

[will1066]

Leschyshyn will have a big game. He's going up against the team that drafted him.

 

[Jauffre]

Yeah, can't wait to see them kill it on the bench.

18 mins or we riot Vancouver style

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

why does having 74 in make us a better team than if we have Lesh in?

Because he’s way better ?

This Leshy would be a better hockey player. He's a deity after all.
