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

[ReddestRum]

Gave up 36 shots to the Habs
Gave up 41 shots to the Piles
Gave up 42 shots to the Stars
Gave up 40 shots to the Debs
Gave up 40 shots to the Flyers
Gave up 41 shots to the Jackasses

Yet we still want our goalies to perform miracles every game.

I dunno - I never got "I don't give a shit" vibes from Gomez. He was just signed to a ridiculous $ amount and expected to play a role he could never live up to.

I think of them both as soft useless players that end up putting up points so people think they're good.

More I watch this defensive core,the more I notice 4 of them absolutely suck at defending,gapping up,and moving pucks

Another common thread with this team over the last several decades.

First loss in 30 days and people on here are insulting them. 5th game in 8 days.

Cuckbinejad once again worthless for $8.5M

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Absolute shitshow, might as well play Rempe or Ed on the 'top line' at C for all the difference one would notice.

I might be half joking on that, but I would leave Captain Fantastic in Ohio.

BLOW IT UP!

Make Rempe the captain, now!!

How does Mika never ever get criticized on the postgame? Or even Trouba for that matter

1RD can’t skate
1LD only blocks shots
2LD is brain dead
2RD is too busy covering for 2LD
3RD see 2LD
3LD is inconsistent

It's what this board does. They have selective amnesia.

 

[Reijo29]

Mika is by far there best two way forward. As much as I like Panarin, he’s not a good defensive player. Mika is a tremendous two way center.

Wasn't 15, only 2/3 of it, but it was still great

 

[CasusBelli]

Vally also questioning their conditioning.

You're not wrong, and I came into this game expecting a loss for exactly that reason - the team is exhausted playing 5 times in 8 days. That said, Zibaenjad - considering his salary and expected role on this team, has been dog poop for quite a while now. CBJ's GWG is squarely on his shoulders.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lavi is like every no accountability vet loving coach that preceded him.

He’s done some good this year no doubt but the leash he gives certain guys is inexcusable.

He’s not questioning there conditioning, he’s saying they’re exhausted playing 5 games in 8 days. Nice try though.

Like every coach in the game.

trouba and zibanejad are alarmingly bad

Mika gets paid to pot them in, and his one timers has gone more sour than goat cheese.

I will say this. He’s become too much of a passer when he has the shot.

That's not it. I don't know how 20 men cannot collectively figure out the context of 2nd of a back to back with a record streak on the line. It wasn't a game 7 by any means, but they treated it like a preseason contest

 

[Matt Rentfree]

We can say that about a lot of players on this team, though Laf and Kakko seem to be improving in that area.

No props to Bread for setting a career high in goals?

Tryin to have the glass half-full
