GDT: Game 53: New York Rangers vs Calgary Flames, 7pm ET, MSG2

[Machinehead]

That period was good all things considered. We didn't do all that much with the puck but the Flames never had it.

 

[Profet]

Tough not getting a goal in the first.

Just wait until the early second period penalty and goal against.

 

[Machinehead]

You also say that their goaltending and defense suck. How are they not the worst team in the league?

Honestly? RNG.

The Rangers aren't good at anything.

 

[Kovalev27]

Great period from shesty on out

 

[DanielBrassard]

The Rangers a next level do-nothing team on offense pretty much always. I'm just pointing it out.

It’s annoying that any criticism is regarded as hatred. What the f*** does that even mean anyway. We all want the team to succeed give me a break @SnowblindNYR

 

[Kords]

No complaints. Keep playing this way and you'll win most Hockey games. Rangers suck at finishing but I think this time it's more Markstrom and not them turning a 3rd stringer into Hasek as is tradition.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Our end of period horn is too quiet.

 

[Raspewtin]

good period and I had fun which is ultimately all that matters

 

[Machinehead]

Our end of period horn is too quiet.

I miss the one from the 90's.

They have 3 or 4 incredibly high offensive IQ players and that's worth a lot.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I mean... I don't think we had a bad period at all. Markstrom is just ridiculous.

 

[Levitate]

…”good” period. Just missed a lot of stuff, still got chances, Markstrom made some big saves, Rangers didn’t give up much

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honestly? RNG.

The Rangers aren't good at anything.

But they're like 17 games over .500.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Soooo, how many shots were wide of the net after all?

WTF do they “practice” in practice?

 

[AirGut]

Lafreniere reminding me of Brassard with that slapper

 

[DanielBrassard]

That was a good period, they certainly played with more pace than usual.

 

[Machinehead]

But they're like 17 games over .500.

Yeah, I guess.

Winning a hockey game is basically a 50/50 toss regardless of how the play goes.

 

[DanielBrassard]

They practice missing the net

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Did anyone else get this one right on the NHLAT Exam?

Lafrenier is to Sergachev as
Kreider is to Price

 

[Machinehead]

I mean... I don't think we had a bad period at all. Markstrom is just ridiculous.

It was an excellent period.

 

[effen]

Yeah, I guess.

Winning a hockey game is basically a 50/50 toss regardless of how the play goes.

Having guys in the right general position is worth a ton and the Rangers are mostly too slow to have guys in completely the wrong place defensively.

Accidentally good defensively. It's only when they're being NZ turnstiles giving up odd mans that they get cooked.

 

[gabevh3]

The Rangers a next level do-nothing team on offense pretty much always. I'm just pointing it out.

And you choose their best first since before the break to complain about it

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Honestly? RNG.

The Rangers aren't good at anything.

Playing down to their opponents?

 

[Profet]

Honestly? RNG.

The Rangers aren't good at anything.

They are the best team in the league at entering the zone wide... Stopping at the half boards and then back passing the point.

Legit number one in the league.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yeah, I guess.

Winning a hockey game is basically a 50/50 toss regardless of how the play goes.

So the last 3 seasons they were just lucky?
