GDT: Game 62: New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 7pm ET, MSG (Do we want Florida?)

[will1066]

I get looking for a controlled breakout and waiting an extra half second for it to develop, but we had 2 goals scored against us last game because of it, and were hemmed in multiple other times as well. If you’re not sure just clear the effin zone Goodrow.

Had some bad puck luck with deflections both ways last game and lost on a post-out and they won on a post-in. Play better 5 on 5 and that won’t be an issue.

Clearing it for the sake of eliminating danger is always the last option for them. It's like they're conditioned to try and make a play every time, and as a result they do a weak poke at it in an attempt to spring someone.

 

[Overcast]

We played them well last time, didn't win. A convincing win tonight can help alleviate a lot of doubts

You know where you're posting, right? A win will be just as bad for most people's morale if it's not a 60-minute domination clinic. Here are the quick hits if they do win tonight: The team is fraudulent, every player is the worst player in the league if you look at this and that metric and they make everything around them the absolute worst thing imaginable by waking up, it's just a regular season game, NYR aren't built for playoffs.

Anyway, LGR!

If the Rangers played like they did at Florida early this season, they will have a good shot to win.

I've been consistent. Mika has been trash all season at 5v5, with a few good game sprinkled in between. Lindgren and Trouba are major dead weight. Goodrow is more dead weight.

Zibs needs to get it together. There's no way around it. It will be near impossible to win a cup with him with his current 5v5 form.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Rempe hat trick incoming.

He also sucks on the Powerplay now too and is the major reason why our Powerplay has hit the skids

 

[Fitzy]

Rempe hat trick incoming.

Peter Worrell is coming out of retirement for the occasion

This is my hockey hell. It is the same playbook for years. And it always bites you in the butt. I rather them be the worse defending team off the rush than a team that fails to clear only for it to end up in the net.

Ice the puck if you have to. Every damned time. Just fire it as hard as you can out of the zone.

 

[NYR94]

So Rempe vs Gadjovich tonight?

 

[Harbour Dog]

Do we know the starting lines yet?

 

[FultonReed]

Do we know the starting lines yet?

seemingly the same, with the 2 bottom centers swapping, maybe. starters will be the 4th line for intimidation reasons, obviously.

 

[Cmox]

Im into Bro with the giants.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

This better be one hell of a Mika March

 

[MrAlmost]

seemingly the same, with the 2 bottom centers swapping, maybe. starters will be the 4th line for intimidation reasons, obviously.

Foreshadow like Stephen King.

*Shakes Magic 8-Ball*
Will Zibanejad finally score an even strength, 2024 calendar year, goal?
"Better not tell you now"

*Shakes again*
"Outlook not so good"

*shakes again*
"Don't count on it"

 

[chosen]

They'll either play one of their best games of the season or get absolutely blasted. No in betweens.

This akmost guarantees that neither scenario will play out.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

So Rempe vs Gadjovich tonight?

It would be nice if guys like Cuylle and Goodrow stepped up and helped out with the rough stuff when it happens tonight. I'd like to see Rempe have a break from all the fighting.

 

[zlev]

Rempe needs a couple weeks off from fighting

 

[will1066]

Play a simpler game and there's a chance of coming out on top in the W column. Try to globetrot and Florida will take advantage.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Big game, our centers have to be better and our d has to be better.

Exiting with possession is the name of the game. Problem is that every year at least half our defense has to be league worst level horrible at doing it. It really isn’t supposed to be this hard

I haven’t looked this year but the guy who does the All Three Zones Project tracks every game and usually has NYR as an abysmal controlled zone exit team with Lindgren/Trouba/Schneider typically being the worst offenders

If anyone is going to fight its should be the captain. In a game against your biggest threat that likes to play rough.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Trouba and Tkachuk are gonna wool each other.

 

[will1066]

Lavi and Maurice are gonna fight in the hallway.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Amped for this one. This is a big test for the boys. Good measuring stick and a possible ECF matchup. Yeah, I went there
