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

[SnowblindNYR]

Throw Laviolette off the chase bridge

I've never seen a coach do more to sabotage his team. Team playing great and are 5-0-1? Insert Lindgren in the lineup and reunite Miller with Trouba? Team playing better albeit losing a couple in a row where they were decent for 5 out of 6 periods? Let's nuke the forward lines because Mika needs his icetime. It's as if he wants to tell Drury "I know we sucked but I played Mika and Lindgren top minutes it used to work". So that if makes ANY decision that doesn't involve our terrible vets he loses a crutch of "well it worked before". He's coaching just so that he has excuse for when they lose and not even trying to win.

Thanks Ryan.

Bonus - last-minute goal against

That's 2 spots on my bingo card in one play! Elite!

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.

Has anybody been on the team for 2500 days without a goal? That might be beyond a lousy player.

Islanders were completely dead in the water, last place, nothing happening. They now have a point on us. That is hilarious.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

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 would almost certainly have made out PK nowhere near as good as it has been

No neither of them were good.

Trouba's been wiped from the rotation here bc he's no longer on the team but Lindgren allows a higher rate of quality chances than anyone else.

FWIW, We have 2 guys who have been great and everyone else has been below average or worse. Fox shouldn't be killing penalties either.
