GDT: Game # 55 - New York Rangers @ Edmonton Oilers - 9pm EST, MSG

[Deleted member 23124]

This is what a series against the Devils is going to look like unless the team and coaching staff actually game plan. You have to stand up fast teams and take away their speed and be physical. Rangers are letting them do whatever and the pk and Igor are trash.

This has never been part of their game plan.

 

[CasusBelli]

Was actually thinking along the same lines. Need to just playing him like 5 in a row.

But bench him the rest of this game. And put him back out tomorrow

I think, after last years performance, teams looked at a ton of video of him and found his weaknesses. No coincidence a lot of people have been shooting (and scoring) at his near post this season. Stick high seems another popular location to shoot.

Torts gets my respect because the media deserves to be treated like that. Years ago it was always about the sport but the sports "journalists" today want to BE the news by asking the dumb questions.....fugg 'em

I know it's not looking good but if the Rangers keep playing the way they did in the first, there's no way they aren't climbing back into the game, just wish we had a 4th line that wasn't a guaranteed minus when they jump on the ice.

the team look OK everywhere but D-Zone coverage. Igor has been terrible too

 

[RangerLifer]

That's good. That means the Pens lost.

Compared to the Islanders, I LOVE the Pens.

With the trades we have somehow regressed into having a horrible 4th line again. I can't believe this team can't find a center better than Lesychsinnsnisin. I know he won't be here in 2 weeks but still

Never forget

His teammates score was too much to pass up after the void Reaves’ departure left

 

[CasusBelli]

I feel like he's actually trying to be extra edgy now so when he gets fired he can transition right back to being a broadcaster and saying things like Trevor Zegras is bad for hockey.

He’s truly The Special One. Mourinho be damned.

The cry baby pens? I hear you tho.
Wasn't a 3 point game at least.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Just tuning in. What did I miss? Are we winning?

 

[RangerLifer]

I hate to say it, but win streaks are usually ended in blowout losses. I hope that's not how this ends tonight.

 

[Kane One]

Just tuning in. What did I miss? Are we winning?

Sure. Go to bed happy without checking the score

 

[bl02]

Tanner Glass is literally 10 times better than Lechyssinnnsin. I mean like right now Feb 17, 2023 he's better not 6 years ago.

 

[gimbznyr]

We did when Brodzinski was in there but we had to bring in drunk Brett Howden for literally f***ing no reason

I have no idea why brod isn't in there.. makes zero sense. He has some a bit of speed which we severely lack as a team.. also thought brod, goodrow, and goat looked good together when they did play together.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Never forget

I will never understand why they still keep playing this scrub when there are better in house options. It makes no sense.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Going to "X" out this tab for the night.

Rupp had some decent analysis. Too much puck watching and 2nd and 3rd chances. The defense has been booty cheeks for weeks, it's not only the goalie. We're 22-4-3 or something since December and this place is at Defcon 2 after one bad period.

Never change, HF.

 

[BBKers]

Jake is totally detrimental to the 4th line. He should be in the AHL hustling and bustling. I played with guys like him. Never could understand what coaches saw in guys like him. But they always liked the type. Insanity has a definition. Leasonitis

 

[will1066]

I predict McDavid scores off a bad line change

 

[Sisu4ever]

Just tuning in. What did I miss? Are we winning?

Working on it.

Igor hasn't been the same since he's become a father

Needs to go out for cigarettes and return when his contract is up.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Nobody is turning on anyone.

We're people supposed to pretend Hank was in his prime in his last season?

It is what it is.

Igor is struggling big time, nobody said his career is over but he's playing bad enough to lose us games right now

Came really close Wednesday nig

Major difference between complaining about current performance and "turning" on a player. No the point is we weren't supposed to pretend Hank was in his prime, but people were blaming him for 12 years of organizational and playoff failures when he literally carried the franchise on his back with zero offensive support or years of terrible contract decisions. All the sudden 1 bad year and Hank was the reason we didn't win a cup.

Theres a large portion of this fanbase that didn't have to watch the dark times of the 12 different washed up goalies following Richter up to Hank. We've been spoiled by Hank, Igor and some really solid back ups thanks to Benny.

 

[Crease]

Not sure how you stick with Igor there. Unplug him and try him again tomorrow.

 

[Machinehead]

LMAO Edmonton playing the 11-6.

AV is smiling somewhere in Hell.

Kreider is out
