GDT: Game # 55 - New York Rangers @ Columbus Blue Jackets , 7pm ET, MSG (Last game before 4 nations break)

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Lindgren egregious turnovers

 

[Do you want ants]

Lindgren plays likes he has CTE

 

[Profet]

Are people really trying to pin that 3rd goal on Laf?

That was 1000000000000000% on Lindgren.

Uh... Watch it again.

The lack of back pressure by Laf on a few of these goals is inexcusable.

 

[bl02]

That Lindgren attempt to clear the puck lol
Maybe Joe should mention how much of a disaster he has been?

July 2025, Rangers sign Olivier to a 5 year $4M aav deal.
October 2025, Olivier contracts a severe case of Panarinitis.
July 2026, Rangers trade Olivier with a 1st for future considerations.

Pin it on him? No, not at all, it was screw ups and laziness by multiple players. But Faff was one, and he's been doing it a lot.

Although I do admit we may be asking a bit much from our #1OA

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Joe really has had enough, dude needs a break

Half expecting him to Irish goodbye after this season lol

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Laviolette confirmed terrorist

 

[will1066]

f*** Lafreniere

 

[noncents]

Fox is about 3/4 down the list of our issues.

not even. you can't call him an issue until you get rid of the pejorative slur on his left side

 

[LORDE]

That high end zone replay of that goal tells you everything you need to know.

That was the worst shit I've seen since the Zapruder film

 

[Atax]

Imagine a coach who held players accountable.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If proven wrong I would happily admit I am wrong but all I get is ad hominem retorts. Nobody is actually calling me out on the facts, I get called out because I defend a player some of you dont like.

The only reason any of us dislike Zibanejad is because hes being paid to be our #1 center and he's nowhere close to that. If he was nobody would "hate" him. I feel the same about Kreider, Lindgren, and even Shesterkin since the new deal.

 

[Cmox]

I've honestly never seen a whole team 1/2 ass as much as this. It's remarkable.

 

[gimbznyr]

It never ceases to amaze how lavi continues to trot lindgren out there when he is getting worse minute by minute. I really have grown to hate lindgren.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

We weren't bad at defending when Quinn was coach. We just tried to play open hocky and have 3 cherry pickers. This is just lack of any effort to play defensively. The D suck but the forwards give zero f***s closing gaps and pressuring let alone covering dudes.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Uh... Watch it again.

I did.

Lindgren just lets his guy get by him. How is that on anyone other than him?

 

[RGY]

This team will never ever win with Ryan Lindgren on the roster. He is trash. Absolute trash.

Beyond that the accountability issues continue. This team is despondent. It is why Laviolette should have been fired in December. Right wrong or indifferent. He should have been fired.

 

[ReddestRum]

Are people really trying to pin that 3rd goal on Laf?

That was 1000000000000000% on Lindgren.

The primary assist comes from Laf's man that he slows down behind and never ends up catching. This has been Laf's MO. If he just hustles some he can maybe break up the pass from 4 to 78, but the play breaks up if Laf can backcheck his man. Lindgren is just f***ing Lindgren, it doesn't matter who he's covering, it's probably going to end up badly anyway.

 

[Profet]

He really needs to change things up.

I'm sure he'll drastically change the lines in the third.

Something new and completely different like Kreider, Zib and someone else...with Fox and Lindgren on D.

 

[bl02]

not even. you can't call him an issue until you get rid of the pejorative slur on his left side

Yep this game alone Fox would have 2 more points if he had a d partner with any ability to do something with the puck in the ozone

 

[Cmox]

The core is rotten, I agree, Vally.

 

[RGY]

I did.

Lindgren just lets his guy get by him. How is that on anyone other than him?

Its on Lindgren. But back-checking would help a lot.

 

[mrmovies779]

Lindgren is an abomination out there.I chuckled when Lav had him out there on the 4vs4

That was Jacques Martin’s doing. Guy is a defensive wiz.
