GDT: Game 55 : New York Rangers and New York Islanders playing in New Jersey, 3pm ET, (Game is on ABC and ESPN+)

[tlk]

Igor rebounded well.

He rarely if ever checks out.

 

[AirGut]

everyone still doomer posting in this thread, I like the battle I've seen so far. When we play grindhouse cuthtroat style Hockey we have ELITE level talent to support it. I almost wish there wasn't an intermission since we gained so much momentum

 

[rangersfansince08]

winnable game, send those mutherf***ing ugly ass islanders home with a loss

 

[hardnosed]

Bedard would be a much better option than Rempe. We don’t need two Frankenstein on that line. He should never have dropped the gloves either. Right after goal.

Yea. Emotions got to him. It would have been better if he waited which is why the vet Martin challenged him. Isles had final change. Rangers put Rempe out there. Isles countered with Martin so they planned on that happening. Pick your spots, Rempe

Dude, is this team really that fragile?

We are more fragile and need more directions than boiling an egg!

Mika nees to shoot more, he keeps trying to make slick passes.

If they just played straight line hockey 100% of the time, rather than whenever their backs are against the wall, they would be unstoppable. Really frustrating that they choose to play the wrong way so often.

To one up gritty and NJ Devil mascot throwing cakes at a guy in a Rangers jersey during the intermission from last night, please direct your attention to the rink side bushes where I will be chasing @Bob Richards with a pair of scissors attempting to change his prescription

The fight had absolutely nothing to do with the Rangers backing up 100 ft. and letting the Islanders have an expressway through the neutral zone. Stop whining about the fight.

25 more years of broadcasting together and I think Messier and PK could become friends

Bedard would be a much better option than anyone on the roster sans Panarin.

Straight line hockey is hard and hurts sometimes and they dun wanna.

That's it. When they play caveman hockey for even half the game they win games 5-1 and 6-2. It's been like this for almost 5 years now.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

OMG Subban just complimented the Rangers.

 

[Stugots]

Winnable game. The Isles have blown a million leads this season and were flat out a better team. That being said, I have little confidence that we can shut them out in the third if we allow another 15-20 shots this period.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Even if we win this it goes in the turd category

Well pk will be his care giver then so must be

That's the problem. They always think they're the better team and spot the opponent a couple of goals

Well pk will be his care giver then so must be

Mess: Subie, I need my adult diapers!

PK: Let the ones you have on last a lifetime, old man!

Bedard would be great but we only have Berard haha

It's not really that simple.

They don't do it because not everyone can. I'm not asking Panarin and Zibanejad to play this way (and Panarin really shouldn't.) I'd like for them to stop with the prayer passes/throwing low percentage passes into the box but that has little to do with straight line hockey.

Kreider is the only one who can and doesn't do it often enough.

Bedard would be a much better option than anyone on the roster sans Panarin.

Including Igor as well

 

[NYR94]

Mess look like he's freezing this is elder abuse

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This is really embarrassing for the Islanders organization. I knew they had one of the smallest fanbases in the NHL, but this is downright shameful. It's like 90-10 Rangers fans here.

I think the Islanders need to relocate and have their small fanbase absorbed by the surrounding teams. It's unsustainable.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

PK exposing Rangers strategy- must include coming out lackadaisical to start any and all games lol

they need to build more parking lots & initiate a breeding program for their small fanbase before it goes extinct

They’re arrogant and cocky but somehow it doesn’t translate into a killer instinct and balls to the wall mentality and instead manifests itself in ways more akin to spoiled children
