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

[Machinehead]

You know who has been pretty shit for a while now but nobody says anything? Adam Fox.

At least he's not 2.5 standard deviations below replacement level in his own zone like somebody else who shall remain nameless.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Pretty much any realistic roster shuffle of bringing in idk Andrew Copp (is his first name Andrew?) is not going to make next year's team any better if Kakko and Lafreniere don't light it up (they probably won't) and we don't get .940 goaltending again (we probably won't)

Just trade for Giroux lol

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Strome really doesn't deserve to be on the first unit - lets get laf in there

 

[LokiDog]

I like Hunt.

Matter of fact, I like Strome too.

Nobody wants to really talk about the reason that line sucks.

You mean matzah? The stale, flat bread? He looks like he has an IV of vodka taped under his uniform most of the season. Still gets his points but he makes horrible passes every period of every game, fans and flubs pucks that should be gimmes for him, etc. It’s definitely the biggest problem. I just don’t think it changes while he’s in his comfort zone with Strome on his line.

 

[DuneGoon84]

I am more frustrated at this team this year than last year even though we have a wayyy better record. This offense is putrid. What's the point of watching this crap? The product, right now, stinks. GG is not it.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I wonder if Chytil gets back in the lineup next game.

That would be insane, have you seen how good the rest of the bottom-6 is?

 

[EdJovanovski]

At least he's not 2.5 standard deviations below replacement level in his own zone like somebody else who shall remain nameless.

Trouba?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I’m the one crying? Guy, you bitch and cry ten times a day. You have done it all season. You aren’t a Rangers fan at this point. You’re a troll.

I got the PMs. You are a fraud and a tool.

Yeah I PMd you saying I was wrong that they were gonna sign him. I was against his signing from day 1. I’m now being proven right, just like I always am. Seethe and Cope.

 

[Richard Banger]

You know who has been pretty shit for a while now but nobody says anything? Adam Fox.

What? Literally everyone is saying Fox hasn’t been himself in a long time

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The problem is he lets the soft ones in and doesn’t make any high danger saves. He’s the worst goalie in the NHL

That second one was an absolute backbreaker. Complete softy in the last minute after we dominated the period minus one mistake and couldn't score on Demko. He's a pathetic excuse for an NHL goalie. I can't f***ing stand him. His stats being the way they are somehow used as evidence how much the Rangers suck when in reality he sucks so bad that being 7-8-2 (after tonight) is evidence of how good the Rangers are.

Strome doesn't help but I don't think that'll change anything. It'll change when Panarin stops running the team, which two coaches have let him do.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I wouldn't sell the farm to try and get this squad over the line for the playoffs.

Thats what ive been saying, we are atleast a year away from that...keep your assets, use them next year.

 

[Machinehead]

Trouba?

Keep going

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

What could we get for Shesty?

If Drury’s trade past is any indication, Shesty is worth at least 3rd round pick and pack of gum

 

[mike14]

Barron with 4:16 through 2 periods.
I'm not claiming he's the answer, but with the shit being dished up across the lineup, maybe give him a few extra reps and see what he can do; or if you really don't want to play him, just put Chytil back in...

 

[ReddestRum]

that it was only 2 games ago we scored 4, but it feels like a lifetime

No shit. You're playing right into my point. Scoring, scoring first, controlling the game, takes pressure off your goalie.

Guys over here saying that Geo isn't making the big saves. Every f***ing save in a 0-0 game is a big save, lol. It's even bigger when your starting, most awesome goalie, loses in a 1-0 game the game prior.

 

[DialUp]

Crazy to think that as many replacement level players as we have in the lineup every night, teams like Edmonton have even more.

This team, including the minutes Strome gets, is not built for a run. Igor is built for a run.

How we look next year and the year after is the real intrigue and that will make or break pizza man's legacy

 

[DanielBrassard]

To be fair Georgiev is hot garbage. Shesterkin is great but he's not THAT much better than the average goalie. Georgiev is bottom of the barrel.

This was extremely funny, thanks Snowblind.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Shesterkin is likely the vezina winner this year and he's getting talked about for the Hart because he's far and away the most valuable player to this team

Yes, but we're not comparing him to Tristan Jarry, we're comparing him to possible a bottom 5 goalie in the league.

 

[mas0764]

Really? Carolina was always winning this division and we are 3 points behind Pitt with 2 games in hand. Finishing 3rd instead of 2nd is not the end of the world anyway.

Correct. The end of the world would be spending any significant asset on a team that Pittsburgh is going to bounce in the first round no matter who we add.

 

[Ainec]

At least he's not 2.5 standard deviations below replacement level in his own zone like somebody else who shall remain nameless.

Who

 

[I Eat Crow]

You know who has been pretty shit for a while now but nobody says anything? Adam Fox.

I don't disagree, but I bet you he's still playing injured.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Their game has been plummeting since before the all start break. Having a good game here and there isn’t going to cut it anymore.

This is their 3rd game in 4 days and B2B with travel. They look tired. I counter their game has actually been very good lately. They just beat Florida, Boston, and Washington, and played well last night against Pitt. Even with this eventual loss they are 5-2-1 in their last 8. I see none of this plummeting you talk about. Pitt just lost 3 in a row including 6-1 to Devils the other night before winning back to back games. Shit happens.

 

[Number 9]

Where is DeAngelo playing on this team? Not in front of the guy who just won a Norris. Not in front of a guy making 8 million a year. Where’s his power play time gonna come from when he’s on the second unit? They couldn’t afford to pay him and he was passed on the depth charts by Fox, plain and simple. Jesus Christ you’re the king of awful takes. Buch this Buch that, at most they could have kept him this year and would have lost him anyway. I’m surprised you hate Subban so much and claimed he’s the “dirtiest player of all time” on the main boards, especially since he tore the ACL of a “scrub” as you called Blais.

Would be nice to have those 2 things though. Jovo's take isnt bad, it's just been talked about a lot.
