GDT: Game # 51 Rangers vs Islanders - 7pm EST - MSG

[Off Sides]

So strange to see the Stome line trapped in their own zone.

 

[effen]

Eberle skates out from behind the goal line to backhand a grade A chance, only threatened by some VICIOUS STICK CHECKING.

Can't believe Quinn told them to do that. What a dope. Fire Quinn. zzxzZzZZzzzZZzzzz

 

[RangersFan1994]

Soft team .. they can’t even defend themselves the right way

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Silver lining: Hopefully Gorton and JD realize that this style of play isn’t going to be successful and it motivates them to make some changes.

 

[Machinehead]

He not just a special team player and you know it. Total bullshit.

He objectively is no matter how much you shout into the sky that he isn't. Rangers fans think he's Kopitar because he's 6'3". He's Strome with a good shot.

 

[Shadowtron]

I know we all get enamored by this teams players when they win games against the Sabres and Devils but the team made up this way ain't winning anything, in addition to the shit-bag coaching.

I have to agree. Most of this team is mentally and physically as soft as baby shit. I don’t really care for the makeup of this team.

 

[EdJovanovski]

ANGRY USA BUCH HAS AWAKENED

 

[Siddi]

Yeah, im done with Igor.

At least in games where we couldnt score, Hank keept us in and dragged us to at least a loser point.

 

[effen]

This is one team with a strong will, and another team with no backbone.

This is all David Quinn, coaching them in practice to have no backbone. Fire Quinn!

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Scoring is important but we have plenty of scoring. When we play teams with a system that shut down the globetrotters shit, we barely look like an NHL team. Zibanejad just isn't the all-around ace some Rangers fans make him out to be. He's bang average at even strength on both sides of the puck. When your best center is a special teams player, you might need a center.

Over the last 3 seasons, 61P of Mika’s 195p’s have come on the PP. I think you’re being more critical than you should. He’s not just some special teams specialist.

Silver lining: Hopefully Gorton and JD realize that this style of play isn’t going to be successful and it motivates them to make some changes.

They 100% know this, it's why Laf and Kakko and Krav are being brought along the way they are.

 

[Machinehead]

Puck on a tee and Patrice Kopitar fires it into pads.

 

[Tob]

Silver lining: Hopefully Gorton and JD realize that this style of play isn’t going to be successful and it motivates them to make some changes.

No chance JD and Gorton blame Quinn for this. They had no cap to add the "toughness" they were looking for after the Carolina series. Quinn gets another year. They still owe Quinn one for letting Fast go.

 

[Fitzy]

The “face offs don’t matter” continues to be the biggest whopper provided to us by the metrics dogmatists

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Over the last 3 seasons, 61P of Mika’s 195p’s have come on the PP. I think you’re being more critical than you should. He’s not just some special teams specialist.

The take here is that this is Mika's fault? How baffling.

 

[DialUp]

Oh man we have almost two FULL periods of free fall spiraling to do here in this thread. I am calling a garbage time goal to make it 4-1 with 3 mins left in the third. Who ya got? Hajek!

 

[RangersFan1994]

Why even have centers on this team

 

[Richard Banger]

Yeah, im done with Igor.

At least in games where we couldnt score, Hank keept us in and dragged us to at least a loser point.

lmao. yeah comparing shesty to hank is totally fair.

I mean.. Zbad is a 4th line center compared to Messier.

That's a lot...

 

[RangersFan]

Soft, no balls team with mediocre coach.

 

[Machinehead]

Nobody said this but sure.

 

[Crease]

Why even have centers on this team

Pretty sure I saw Blackwell taking a defensive zone draw.

 

[SRHRangers]

Meanwhile, the NFL draft is dragging to start even worse than the Rangers play tonight.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Maybe there's some kind of therapy you can give them to trick them into thinking all the other teams are wearing Devils jerseys

 

[Richard Banger]

At this point why not try Laf and Krav at Center. What is the worst that can happen?
