GDT: Game # 53 - canucks @ RANGER - 7:30PM - MSG

[Tob]

Remember this guy was the reason why Henrik was bought out? Gorton is a f***ing coward. Gutted the heart and soul of the team for this terrible goalie and bad teammate.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Yeah I’m just really not seeing it with gallant. This whole season has been riddled with questionable roster decisions

McKegg is not leaving the lineup unless he's traded or released.

 

[ncmike]

We running into 2 hot goalies back to back

True but Georgiev does not inspire any confidence. Jettison him and sign the guy who came in for Carolina a few years ago when both their goalies went down. Can’t do any worse. At least he was able to steal a game.

 

[The New Russian Five]

He’s played with Patrick Kane, PL Dubois, Matt Duchene, and yet the best season of his career was with Strome and Fast

Because he's gotten better since then.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Geo sucks, Demko doesn't. Pretty even period overall.

 

[Machinehead]

This is my penance for having one game where I enjoyed myself

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

NYR with 1.65 xG

VAN somehow has 2 goals on 0.9 xG
Not sure if Laf screened Geo on that last one, definitely a soft goal. But 1 goal against is expected wth how our defense played.

 

[will1066]

Remember on Feb 15 against the Bruins when no one was able to score and Filip Chytil tied it in the 3rd and the team went on to win in the shootout?

Yeah

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

First goal of the year lol

 

[howztheglass]

Geo driving his trade value into the ground

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Demko made a bunch of difficult saves. More difficult than the goals let up by Georgiev.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

We all knew Miller was going to have a big game, Drury is probably walking over to the Canucks press box rn to ask ol Jimbo if he’ll reconsider taking anything but Schneider

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Can JT Miller switch locker rooms after that period? Anybody who says he can’t help this team is clueless.

 

[DialUp]

Van buried 2 out of their 4 or so high danger chances. We bury none.

All Van needs to do for the rest of the game is rope a dope, they will pot one or two more in before the games over and leave with an ez 4-1 road win. Gallant has to make an adjustment, our gameplan won't work against this goalie.

No Rooney, you don't "stick with it" you stop making cute plays and run the goalie (legally)

 

[Lays]

Why is Greg McKegg in the lineup right now over Chytil?

 

[effen]

His system is not made for the players we have. We are lucky to have SheSty. REAL LUCKY

what system
if its not a rush they play like they've never met each other before. extremely basic and generic. no pick plays. they dont even cycle.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Georgiev worst backup since a washed up Pavelec. The only guy Allaire couldn't salvage. We'd be better off with Vally coming out of the booth.

 

[Machinehead]

NYR with 1.65 xG

VAN somehow has 2 goals on 0.9 xG
Not sure if Laf screened Geo on that last one, definitely a soft goal. But 1 goal against is expected wth how our defense played.

And I would imagine a big chunk of that is on the one chance where our entire team decided to leave the zone while Vancouver still had the puck.

 

[mrmovies779]

Kreider alone could have had a hat trick.1 point in his last 5 games.

 

[mas0764]

I like Gorton but that was an absolutely terrible decision.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Geo f***ing blows

 

[LokiDog]

That period for Demko was a literal highlight reel. Not finishing is concerning, but those are great saves. I’m not gonna have a breakdown about the offense right now. With Shesty this game is even or 1-0. If Georgiev and Demko switched places, we’d have 4-5 goals that period. Keep playing that way, something has to go in.

 

[Tob]

Playing McKegg over Chytil is the reason why Gallant was fired. It took two involved owners in Florida and Vegas to step in when the GM failed to do the right thing and fire him. Dolan is going to have to fire Gallant himself when McKegg can't be displaced.

 

[howztheglass]

Georgiev worst backup since a washed up Pavelec. The only guy Allaire couldn't salvage. We'd be better off with Vally coming out of the booth.

Bring up Kinkaid

 

[Lays]

We all knew Miller was going to have a big game, Drury is probably walking over to the Canucks press box rn to ask ol Jimbo if he’ll reconsider taking anything but Schneider

At this point Drury will end up trading Schneider+1st for Miller. This is the guy who traded a PPG+ 5v5 dominant 2 way winger for Sammy Blais and a late 2nd
