GDT: Game # 50 - Rangers @ Senators - 5pm EST - MSG

[Number 9]

has Laf looked this good the last few games? he's flying and making all the right plays.

he has a hard time finishing although, not as bas as chytil.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Can we get a live thread?

 

[duhmetreE]

Lafreniere has made like 3 or 4 great plays already

I don't think people understand how bad we are at even strength.

The kid cannot buy an assist. No one seems to be able to handle the puck

 

[Kovalev27]

You know after that Chytil turnover, that line is going to get the least TOI

and rightly so. They don’t score and they don’t defend. Chytil trying to do it alone instead of making the right play and he’s got two clowns on his wing that don’t know to cover

 

[DanielBrassard]

I really want to like Reaves dude but gosh he's just so ineffective

He has decent skill for a goon but he's too slow to make an impact most of the time, and is a detriment more often than not.

They were going to anyway.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

He just shouldn’t be playing every night. He should be used as needed

 

[Synergy27]

Schneider and Jones will be our 2nd pairing next season.

Very unlikely that Jones is here next season unfortunately.

 

[effen]

Lafreniere is deferring too much. I think he has had a good start. But its time he starts to play more selfish. He seems to worried about appeasing his linemates. Just get your gps zeroed in on the net.

he's not a goal scorer, he's a playmaker. i dont care about deferring to 33 goal Kreider and howitzer Mika, he should be.

as long as he's moving his feet everything else will fall into place

 

[duhmetreE]

Chytil is a detriment at Center. End the experiment until he learns

 

[Raspewtin]

like that, how the f*** does Lindgren overskate that pass? 99% of NHL players have no problem getting a shot off there. come on.

 

[effen]

I don't think people understand how bad we are at even strength.

The kid cannot buy an assist. No one seems to be able to handle the puck

It's because Fox or Panarin get the puck and they all stand f***ing still like morons.

 

[duhmetreE]

we're literally letting them skate into the slot and tee-off

 

[Kovalev27]

Shesty looks super uncomfortable thus far

 

[I Eat Crow]

Schneider and Jones will be our 2nd pairing next season.

Is that because you think Lindgren gets dealt?

 

[Cmox]

Mckegg lol

 

[Raspewtin]

I'd actually rather play 11 forwards than play McKegg. He's so bad. And unlikable on top of it.

 

[will1066]

Our zone outs are not fooling Ottawa at all

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Did Laf just try to slam dunk that?

 

[Machinehead]

I love the "they work so hard" spiel Sam has to go into every time a bad team gives us a hard time

 

[Synergy27]

I really hate joining the crowd in general, but I’m really friggin tired of watching Greg McKegg flopping around out there. Really tired.

 

[RangersFan]

Lack of Jones with Schneider is noticeable.

 

[mike14]

McKegg having a very rough start to this one

 

[2014nyr]

Schneider will have more assists than Laf by end of the season. I don't know if that is pathetic or a good thing since Schneider looks to have decent offensive instincts.

schneiders a smart player but laf has gotten more screwed on assists than anyone i can remember in one season. had a lot of great setups with 3rd line but chytil/gauthier did what they do and scored on none. hes been great w/ kreider/mika but even they havent been finishing last couple for him. everyone dwells on his shooting % which yea will go down as he takes more shots....idno if some stat nerd has grade a setups that get missed but hed have a ton... and that will normalize

 

[Harbour Dog]

Jones-Schneider is a WAY better pairing than this.
