GDT: Game #57 - New York Rangers vs Winnipeg Jets - 7pm EST, MSG

[Gospel of Prospal]

Dude who the f*** cares? I’ll never understand the obsession with other teams. Are you worried about home ice? Well guess what it’s irrelevant. The Canes had home ice against us and were a insanely good home team and we still beat them in their barn for game 7.

So much f***ing whining. No one cares about the devils lol.

Not only that, but even home-ice advantage for the Devils against the Rangers would still favor the Rangers.

If Igor does not raise his level of play by the playoffs, they will be hitting the golf course early.

This franchise has had plenty of practice.

 

[gabevh3]

Was the ref about to blow a penalty down near our goal line and then just decided be couldn't be bothered?

Happens often in nyr games

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We cannot fall too far behind though. The rest of the pack besides Boston are in upper 30s territory with wins. We're at 33

Who cares? We are basically locked into 3rd place and likely to play the Devils.

 

[Kovalev27]

Vally just said it too. Has to play his way out of it. No breaks. No more rest. Needs to play slot of games right now. Too many stops and starts for him. Needs to Play and play and play

 

[gabevh3]

But the west is so wide open, the Ducks could still make the Finals

And strome will be mvp

he's right. He shits the bed with no shots. Imagine less games?

That was not good. Igor was garbage. Kid line really weak. Other than Laffy they played soft, timid all night.

But honestly, I didn't like how we responded to the Jets' physicality. Kreider flying by the net instead of stopping there on numerous occasions. Lots of shots coming from the outside, no rebounds, no screen shots. Not a lot of greasiness. Giving up too much space in the middle of our own zone.

Maybe we were too tired coming off the road trip. But we got muscled to the outside for much of the night.

We seem to have a hard time slowing down speedy teams (NJD, EDM). And often we have a hard time getting inside on big, physical teams (BOS, WPG). And unlike last season, Igor isn't stealing anything for us right now.

I'm not sure where that leaves us...?

I'm not nearly as confident in this group as I should be.

 

[Boris Zubov]

And strome will be mvp

Nope...He'll miss an empty net to seal Game 6. Zegras wins it in OT Game 7

Maybe we were likely too tired coming off the road trip, but even though the team got a ton of shots we got kinda muscled to the outside for much of the night.

Laffy was a -3

I care

 

[gravey9]

Laffy was a -3

laffy was the least of the issues on that line. (tonight)

 

[Chytilmania]

Laffy was a -3

Not hating on him or the kids but everyone should calm down with the "they're pricing themselves out" talk.

 

[Avery16]

No question it would have made the difference tonight.

Could not have hurt much. Clearly the offense was lacking more than the tuffnuss.

Exact word I was thinking 5 minutes ago

laffy was the least of the issues on that line. (tonight)

Imo, Kakko looked worse.

 

[Vitto79]

Whatever he’s angry at himself I’m sure . Let him have a night . He’ll be fine

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I care

Why? What does it matter? Serious question.

 

[Kovalev27]

Vally just blamed baby shesterkin for Igor’s troubles

Seeing as how they manhandled Calgary a few weeks ago (who is easily heavier than both of the teams you mentioned) I would say that is false.

They also handled Minnesota, who might be the heaviest team in the league. Boston isn't really big and physical either, that seems to be a meme at this point that hasn't died in the decade that has passed since they actually fit that bill.

They had 51 shots on goal, how ever they responded to the Jets physicality it resulted in them controlling most of the game and putting forth one of their better efforts of the season. Sucks that they lost because their goalie stole it for them while the Ranger goalie was less than good. But lets not get it twisted, this was actually one of their best games of the season, results aside.

Shoot the kid into space. You get paid more money than any of us will ever see to win games.

 

[Avery16]

Lets give more to Halak. He's earned it.
