GDT: Game 58: New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins, 3:30 ET, (Game is on TNT)

[Hodes42]

Our current shitty coach vs our future shitty coach, what a matchup.

Thought they should’ve grabbed Montgomery before the Blues got him…

 

[noncents]

Did you somehow miss yesterday's game, or are you being facetious? The Rangers are awaiting the resumption of their season as well. Oh wait.....

hear that whistling noise? no, not lindgrens shot going hilariously wide..

 

[TominNC]

Knicks are playing at 1.

Update: Mets game starts at 1:10 -- close enough.

But they’ll be done by 3:30 when the Rangers start

 

[Hodes42]

Maybe they’ll scratch Rempe and put Vesey in…looks like Yomama is injured for the Pens. Do they have another tough guy?

 

[Hodes42]

But they’ll be done by 3:30 when the Rangers start

Well, the Pens will start. Not sure about the Rangers these days…

Oh good grief....thought Rangers game was at 1.

 

[Jack Hanson]

The 1st Rangers game of the rest of my life. Should be fun.

PS, why cant we have "ice girls" "dancers" or other scantily clad women at Rangers games. Why not? Other teams get them. Why not us?

 

[Siddi]

Please show up today and f*** the Pens.

No coach can make a team of low effort succeed.

I would encourage all Rangers fans to not skip their plans - for instance, I would have LOVED to watch todays game, but I realized I have an appointment watering all the fake plants in my house and my neighbors houses.

Because Dolan is spending all that $$$$$ on player perks.

Hard to care about this team in any capacity.

Early goal against confirmed

Thought I saw something a while back where Lavy coached teams do best in his first season as coach. If so, doesn’t bode well for the remainder of this season.

While I think we will have coaching changes if we are honest with ourselves this is not a coaching issue. This group has had the same 5 on 5, speed and toughness issues through multiple coaches over the years sporadically and they are all getting older fast. Some of our key guys were in the 4 nations tournament with other coaches and did not look different.

I think Drury is going to be a seller this season and offseason for sure. I think he saw the issues last spring and tried to make some moves in the summer and early on in this season. CK admitted that teams know all their "warts" now. We can not expect CK, Zibs, Vince, and Bread to get better in their 30's. I think they all can be assets elsewhere but as a group they are all past their primes.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Oh f*** off Lavi. You’ve had no problem stretching to reprimand guys who are easy to scratch.

you’ve had multiple opportunities this year to scratch more notable veterans and have decided against it almost every single time. This is another golden opportunity to let one of the big money guys sit for a game to send a message.

Not going to do it though because you’re a nutless f***. Cannot wait until your ass gets canned.

 

[Daves a mess]

How can you justify playing a man on man system in the D zone with players that actively do their very best at avoiding contact?

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Who does Prodigy’s parts?

Big Noyd, I think.

 

[Machinehead]

Liverpool beat City at the Etihad. They can't ruin my day today.

 

[Filip Chytil]

I'm feeling an Artem Anisimov hat trick today. Rangers win easily.

I think both the system and players have to be addressed. Too much confusion and chasing the puck imo. I said months ago I would just play a simplified zone.
