GDT: Game # 49 - Rangers vs Red Wings - 7pm EST - MSG

[TominNC]

Another slow start. Would love to know why it takes us so long to find our feet.
Passing up to many shots overall.
Laf looks our most dangerous forward which is encouraging

You do recall the blown 2-0 leads? 0-1 after 1 is our best situation.

 

[LokiDog]

Oh, it was his first goal, 50 games into the season! You don’t say!

 

[Chytilmania]

Zib is pale he needs some heme iron.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Laf was flying

 

[LokiDog]

This team goes through time periods where they are allergic to shooting.

Pregame: guys we’re super talented. Kreids is leading the league, Panarin and Zib are studs, Fox is god, we got this…

First intermission: f*** it, just throw it on goal

 

[RangersFan]

Someone put some hard shots on Griess. Every single attempt were weak shots trying for redirects. We get it, Kreider is sick but test their goalie ffs. Diversify your shot attempts.

I liked Laf's 1st period.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Laf could have tied his season total in assists in that period alone. Good period from him. Honestly 2nd half of the period was all Rangers so if they keep that up they should win.

 

[smoneil]

Oh to have the energy of a kid desperate to be on television by jumping in the background of a Zib interview, haha.

 

[CLW]

I wouldn't be surprised if Lafreniere has the highest pass completion percentage on the team. It seems like his passes have eyes.

Assist totals be damned, he's going to be a highly dangerous playmaker when he hits his stride.

He is. What's different this game is he is actively going into the slot with and without the puck, not so much of the perimeter play from before (that the whole team suffers from). He needs to do that all the time.

 

[Machinehead]

Oh no, we got not at all Bill Pidto

 

[will1066]

This team goes through geological time periods where they are allergic to shooting.

FIFY

Best I’ve seen him look. Very happy about that. He continues to get robbed of points.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

We played awful. 2 pp's against to 0 for. Down 1-0. Still feels like we should have 3. Play like we did the last 15 minutes and we will be fine.

 

[SRHRangers]

Wtf is Kevin Maher????

 

[will1066]

Matthews pulls into a 3-way tie for the goals lead

 

[will1066]

Wtf is Kevin Maher????

Sam: Kevin Maher, no relation to Bill Maher

 

[Chytilmania]

Defenders on a 2-1 knowing Panarin is passing.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Just when we thought Mika was over his slump, damn it.

 

[Peltz]

Laf looks legitimately good.

Panarin is pissing me off tonight

He's pissing us all off tonight. That attempted pass on the 2 on 1 was some cute bullshit.

 

[SRHRangers]

Sam: Kevin Maher, no relation to Bill Maher

As unfunny as Bill Maher though.

Look at this clown trying to go rolled up sleeve look like Pidto.

Not cool enough to pull it off.

I'm going to try something new here. A trivia contest during GDT based on Rangers/opposing team history. No searching online just what you already know. Honor system. I will repeat the post a few times so most everyone will get a chance to see it. Depending on feedback and participation I will continue for future games. 1) Marc Staal had 3 minor hockey teammates play in the NHL . Name them 2) Gerard Gallant is tied 7th on the all time list for Gordie Howe Hat Tricks with 10. How many did Gordie Howe have ?
3) Gerard Gallant is considered one of the best Red Wings to wear no. 17 . Who is the best player to ever wear 17 for Detroit ? 4) When was the last time the Red Wings and Rangers met in the Playoffs ? 5) How many players have played more games for the Rangers than Marc Staal ? 6) What player has played the most games for the Rangers ?

A couple of guys doing well on trivia. I'm impressed but let's have some more guys try.

 

[CLW]

Just when we thought Mika was over his slump, damn it.

Well he went back to Sweden over the break

 

[JRinNYC]

Rangers iced the puck for most of the first period except when they were on the PK. What the hell!!!
