GDT: Game 59: New York Rangers @ Columbus Blue Jackets - 6pm ET, MSG

[effen]

NZ is an expressway. 3 guys across at the top of their own circles as CBJ has 100 feet of open center ice to rev through. It's not a gap is a canyon.

 

[CasusBelli]

Looks a lot like the game in October. Columbus keep getting prime chances

You gotta think opponents will be looking at tape of these games before facing us in the playoffs.

 

[Machinehead]

I wonder if Vally will ever say that Trouba sucks.

He has to know. I know that he knows.

we were gonna lose at some point, can see they just don't have it tonight. the puck movement has been off the entire game. cbj has been tough every game this season. they're a high effort team with size and speed but absolutely no structure. that can get you killed a lot but on nights when things are clicking and the other team is off you can create a ton of offense.

a few guys have had absolutely brutal games, esp with their puck decisions. it happens. glass half full a performance like this tonight should lead to a shellacking at msg on wednesday.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Lets get a goal and be right back in this! LGR!!

1st line best shift all game 13:20 of 3rd period

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Where's the lie? He's been better lately but the dude flubs so many chances. Why do you think he's so good at generating chances but is pretty mid in points. It's not just lack of PP time.

OK. Then he hasn't been 1 of their best players for awhile now and been scoring goals. I apologize.

They didn’t have it yesterday either , they just had great goaltending and Ersson gave up 2 iffy ones.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Never happens in the NHL or sports in general. This is like a one in a billion thing happening here…..or maybe not. I guess that’s why they actually play the games. So weird, right?

Yeah happens in a random game not when you have the opportunity to make NYR history.

Yep. Other than the 4th line, no one’s getting to the front of the net. All perimeter

 

[Breaded Fox]

Losing finally is one thing. Losing like assholes sucks

 

[CasusBelli]

Still don’t understand this first line.

 

[will1066]

Not really watching. Got Rock vs Triple H doc on A&E

 

[turcotte8]

If Lav had any balls Mika would be on the bench this whole period

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This team continues to embarrass themselves.

 

[17futurecap]

The lines get thrown in a blender, but you have to throw out Trouba and Miller every other shift.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

What does "undetested" mean, Joe?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Miller should be bag skated after this game. Horrendous performance.

 

[effen]

Oh Joe, I detested it.

 

[CasusBelli]

This is bag skate worthy.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Panarin has blown a lot of passes tonight

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Miller should be bag skated after this game. Horrendous performance.

This is bag skate worthy.

I know you guys love this "Miracle" bag skate trope, but I'm pretty sure it would violate the CBA.

 

[will1066]

This is bag skate worthy.

10 game win streak buys a lot of leeway

 

[Profet]

This team is so perimeter... Going to be exposed in a series.

Its when you check another guys jocks for skidmarks...
