GDT: Game #52: Rangers vs Hot Vagus Nights, 6 pm ET, The Bankrupt Network

[SnowblindNYR]

31 shot attempts for Vegas, and almost a 2 XG all situations, just a pathetic group.

This team wasn't playing anywhere close to this before the scumbag of a coach we have blew up the roster. Why the f***ing hell did he destroy every forward line? So that he doesn't demote Mika? Why???!!!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

How has Laviolette not been fired yet?

What’s the point? He’s coaching the team given to him. They’re just not good enough.

Firing him now is pointless

 

[Ail]

This Housely defensive scheme where they run around crazily and then throw the puck around the boards behind the net to a waiting defender... Sure is....

Something

Exactly what it was like at the end of the AV tenure and we were all torches and pitchforks back then as well.

 

[mrmovies779]

I can see it now-Rangers miss the playoffs,decide to start moving pieces...and Miller asks to be moved too.Its the most Rangers thing ever

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Close to reality! No exaggeration, to get the WC2 spot, they will probably have to win at a 72% clip after this game. Maybe they will need to do better. The team is no where near that good to pull that off. Lindgren in the lineup is basically a 1 goal deficit before the puck even drops.

This team isn't making the playoffs. The only reason I'm watching the game is because it provides context for the GDT which is infinitely more entertaining.

 

[RangerLifer]

And your screen name to boot.

I have to think of one.

 

[AirGut]

It kills me that the f***ing Pens now have our 1st

We'll get the #12 or #13 and they'll get our late 1st rounder next year don't worry. This team is bipolar and they seem to only do well every other year now.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

No he isn't.

He's been a below average PK'er for the last 2 years.



After Will and Mandar you're next.

Hmmm I had the same argument made against Trouba earlier this year, but I think that they both tend to take away a lot of the most dangerous passes on the PK and get into the more dangerous shooting lanes in general.
Having two broken down dman on our pk for so long if they were both so bad on PK would almost certainly have made our PK nowhere near as good as it has been

 

[effen]

I’d prefer not giving Pittsburgh and unprotected 1st

Worry about 2026 in 2026. Especially if you can tank to a top 5 pick this year.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

What's the question

Prior to JT Miller, who was the last skater to have a 2,500+ day gap between Ranger goals?


Side note: they didn’t specify that the player left and then returned since.
Could be just a lousy player.

How are they getting better next season, I’d like someone to explain that to me.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

No Lindgren. BOOM!

 

[chris kontos]

Trade Quick to a team that can get him win 400.

OUCH

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It just blows my mind that Laviolette can't ever do anything with his D pairings but for no reason nuked the forward lines. There's one common denominator the horrible veterans are supposed to get marquee minutes. Seriously I have never been this disgusted a with a f***ing coach. I have no idea how he f***ing went to three Stanley Cup Finals just a disaster of coach.

 

[Cmox]

Bizarre penalty to take, he sucks etc etc buuut

Lindgren is still good at PK. He probably blocks that shot.

The conundrum, How can he PK when he's in the box?

 

[Machinehead]

That team had three captains and one of them was the goaltender

 

[DanielBrassard]

Worry about 2026 in 2026. Especially if you can tank to a top 5 pick this year.

Sure, but I find it hard to believe they will be better next season.

yea put Bread Tro Laf back together at least that was an elite line

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Throw Laviolette off the chase bridge

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

The conundrum, How can he PK when he's in the box?

Well yeah, he’s gotta stop being a total moron and then there is no Pk

 

[Whoot Whoot]

im convinced Lindgren has CTE

 

[Cmox]

What do they need to do better, John?
pass
clear
play D
shoot
zone entries

 

[Matt Rentfree]

The conundrum, How can he PK when he's in the box?

Schroedinger's penalty box

 

[noncents]

sigh. this team stinks: it has to be a coaching issue we can't get anything goibg

 

[effen]

Sure, but I find it hard to believe they will be better next season.

I think you're going to like the trade deadline. Just a feeling...

im convinced Lindgren has CTE

I'm convinced Mika has some kind of wasting disease and Kreider has some kind of adrenal problem.

Not kidding. I 100% mean it. I've seen Mika interviews in a longsleeve and he's borderline emaciated.
