GDT: Game # 50 Rangers vs Buffalo - 7pm EST - MSG

[Kovalev27]

The amount of point blank saves Shesterkin has stopped tonight is ridiculous

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Lazy players need to get moving and battle

Read. Follow along.

Every single team has more trouble generating offense in tight, playoff-like games.

I caqn't believe that every single hockey fan doesn't know this.

That's hockey 101.

Well, no ****. Are you going to give us anything worth a **** or you gonna keep responding with worthless dog ****?

If you can’t see the offense struggling to do anything these types of games then I don’t know what to tell ya. Ya. I expect tight games. I expect low scores. I don’t expect getting hemmed in our zone all night by the Sabres.

I think you guys are not giving Buffalo enough credit. This is not the same team that had that long winless streak. They have recently beat Boston, Washington, and Pitt. They have played very well.

 

[Doctyl]

well no one converts on every chance you shoot 10% and you’re a star certainly not kids so I ask again realistically what “pace” would you be happy with? Simple question knowing again that no one converts every chance

It isnt worth debating someone who laughs at statistical evidence backing up your argument. There is an appropriate Mark Twain quote for these kinds of moments

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We had 20 shots on net in that period. Felt like 5.

 

[Ail]

Its only 1-1 but feels like they are losing 6-1.

 

[duhmetreE]

Looks like fishsticks are back on the menu.

Hypothetical tinfoil hat time.

We pull a miracle off and beat Buffalo tonight. NYI lose to Washington
We pull another miracle and beat NYI twice in regulation.

We're only 1pt behind them

 

[tomobson]

Chytil is just so underwhelming. So underwhelming.

I have said it before, I would trade him for a proven center in a heartbeat without blinking.

Who would trade a proven center for Chytil?

You’re probably right about that.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think you guys are not giving Buffalo enough credit. This is not the same team that had that long winless streak. They have recently beat Boston, Washington, and Pitt. They have played very well.

But Vally's right. Their effort is terrible, we're not getting beat because they're so good.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Please, just play KRAVTSOV WITH PANARIN AND STROME!! Its not rocket appliances.

 

[Off Sides]

I rewinded and I don't really put the bad on Chytil. The refs suck.

Laff made a bad play at like 1:08, yet puck left zone, Chytil got a chance on net. Then they got trapped again in their zone. Lindgren chased, Chytil I guess sort of tripped someone. Yet the refs missed a high stick on Smith during that play, and then missed a trip on Buch on the PK.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Buffalo has beaten good teams along the way recently. They aren't the pushover Devils.

But thats also why there was no excuse for them to come out as flat as they were tonight. The 2nd period was better, but still way to loose all over the ice save for that one shift by the Chytil line.

 

[rdhstlr23]

Just find a way. Shesterkin is playing lights out. Get him a goal and just park the bus and pray he continues to stand on his head.

This is all accurate, but you’d like to see the coach or players emphasizing adjustments to try to play more cynical playoff hockey.

Meanwhile they keep trying to pass against a team playing a dime defense and have four defensive ends on the line

 

[IDvsEGO]

I think you guys are not giving Buffalo enough credit. This is not the same team that had that long winless streak. They have recently beat Boston, Washington, and Pitt. They have played very well.

That’s absolutely true, but the rangers should be out hustling this team.

 

[Baby Punisher]

I wish Vally would just come out and say what so many of us are thinking. This Rangers team doesn't want to play for Quinn.

 

[chosen]

Exactly. Don’t understand how that clown doesn’t understand that.

Another one that doesn't understand that it's tougher to score goals in playoff-like games for every team. Amazing.

 

[Ail]

Need a big one early, LGR!

 

[Harbour Dog]

I honestly believe that Vally is the best TV hockey analyst that I've ever seen.

No dogma. No empty hockey cliches. Not even hometown coddling. Just strong, intelligent opinions, backed up with very solid arguments, numbers, and personal experience.

 

[Machinehead]

Eichel is Joe Schmo at even strength and makes $10m a year to do flippy-dos on the powerplay.

He's every problem I have with Zibanejad but more expensive.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

But Vally's right. Their effort is terrible, we're not getting beat because they're so good.

The period wasn't bad. They had a ton of shots and some good chances. 1st period sucked, not 2nd.

 

[rdhstlr23]

Much better start this period.
