GDT: Game # 54 - Cinco de Mayo - Rangers vs Capitals - 7pm - NBCSN

[rangersfansince08]

He had a few really good games, starting with game 2, in the beginning. I was excited, still am.

Me too. Just saying the praise raised everybody's expectation. He has had a decent season but looked like what he was:: a rookie.

If they do, I see them regretting it. I get such Marc Savard vibes from this kid. Another young center the team thought had plateaued, so they traded him in for a mystery box (Jamie Lundmark). His potential is significantly more valuable than what he'd return right now.

1) I dont see the comparable at all to Savard. In any way. Savard had much better junior numbers. Chytil never did really.

2) They wouldnt be trading him for some “mystery box”.

This is not an untouchable piece.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Really? That little pick play is getting a call? LOL

 

[Rangerboy030]

Really?

 

[Machinehead]

This. But the ridiculous amount of praise he got to start the season probably played a role too. I remember people saying he plays like a 5 year veteran or something when he looked like a rookie with potential.

At first, I could see that.

And then opponents figured out that they can just close the gap on his reach (classic boxing move) and he's not gonna body them.

I hate the internet toughness discourse but Miller really needs to learn how to shove guys. I'm not looking for him to be a killer, but he has to play more aggressive D. He's too long and he's going to be eaten alive if he lets guys get close to him.

This is a f***ing scrimmage.

Capitals have nothing to gain. Rangers at least can play for pride but everyone is skating like this is the first practice after the off season. I’d think they’d want to steal the win even though it doesn’t mean anything after all that energy in the first. Seems they just wanna go hone.

They know the season is over and the coach is done.

 

[LetsGoRangers2021]

Why is Kravtsov back with Rooney and PDG? Or are they the last 3 players we have left?

yea- i am not thinking too much about lines in this game lol

 

[archanfelnsx]

That’s a penalty?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What are they chanting?

 

[NYR Viper]

Where is he supposed to go. That plays happens ALL THE TIME

 

[NYR94]

This game is about as lifeless as I expected beyond the fighting. No Panarin, no Ovi, just not the same Caps vs. Rangers.

 

[smoneil]

Four different players have 15+ PIMs so far in this game. That's just....something.

 

[Daves a mess]

Did we know Miller was a child model who was in a Honda ad with Mike Richter?View attachment 430326

Patty LaFontaine on the left.

 

[Alluckks]

Refs stripped the game away of any inkling of energy left in the 3rd

Joke of a league stays a joke

People in media treat the NHL like a 2nd rate sport compared to the rest of the big ones, and the reason is because of how the league is handled from the top down

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Love that bird

birds good

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Can we bring up the Wolfpack, Knoblach and all to play out the string? It’s been an absurd week and it ain’t over yet.

 

[Kords]

Just don't let Oshie get the Hatty. The league would LOVE for that to be the story tonight

Preseason quality.

 

[Daves a mess]

You are not being realistic if you do not think some guys in the NHL are scared to go with other guys. Even some of the toughest guys ever like Clarke Gillies and Bobby Nystrom had guys they were scared to go with. Barry Beck one of the toughest Rangers ever spoke of his fear after he retired as well. This is not professional wrestling. Sometimes guys face their fears but those fists can cause real damage.

Yup. Clark Gilles said that he usually fought terrified.

God I hate to say this, Really do,

But I miss Milbury in this clown show of a Broadcast team.

 

[LetsGoRangers2021]

Was yelling at the refs, pretty sure.

The slash

 

[LokiDog]

After the game Quinn fights Lavi and then announces it was his last game as coach.

 

[NYR Viper]

So shut down Zibanejad tomorrow? What’s the point?

 

[ReddestRum]

Our system is the WORST. All these young legs on our team and it's just dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump.

There's no place like hone.
