GDT: Game # 63 - New York Rangers @ Boston Bruins - 1pm EST - ABC, ESPN+

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Again, Kane has never played in such a dumb system. He’s off his game. He’ll come around. Maybe he needs to be separated from Bread. That’s what happened with Tarasenko

 

[Mike in Houston]

When announcers say "tonight" when it's a day game.

 

[Atax]

Kane is garbage. We overpaid.

Not even 2 games and this is your take? Come on man, be reasonable. Not even you believe this.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yes. At least they would be open to counter attacks.

With our defense and shaky goaltending I'm more comfortable in this type of game.

 

[17futurecap]

That was also a really good Igor period, he stopped some grade A chances.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Kids line with a CF% of 100. Kakko has 7 minutes through 2 periods. I get we’ve got the new guys, but that doesn’t change which line is our most responsible and built for a team like this.

 

[Machinehead]

Kadri is a huge piece to be missing and unless Landeskog reaches the same level, which is no guarantee, it's going to be much tougher.

Who's challenging them? I think they're the only team in the West that would make the playoffs in the East.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Dude, I'm talking about 2023 with the Rangers. Kane is an all time great, but it's not Chicago and it's not 2016. And I don't forget MSL was a bust until the playoffs. He wasn't amazing in the playoffs either just better than the regular season and scored one big goal against Takarsky.

What? The mother's day goal and the team rallying around him in his time of need is one of the biggest reasons we went on the run that we did.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not even 2 games and this is your take? Come on man, be reasonable. Not even you believe this.

It's not 2 games into his career. I just want to see SOMETHING.

 

[Chaels Arms]

What!!??? Marty was amazing for us in the playoffs. What the f*** kind of memory do you have?

Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. The “it’s 2023 not 2016” is a phrase of an ignorant person.

Patrick kane is still Patrick Kane. He hasn’t lost a step. Let these guys cook for Christ sake.

This fan base needs to be patient.

MSL had 15 points in 25 games in the 13-14 playoffs. Solid.

He had 7 points in 19 games for us in the 14-15 playoffs.

I think harping on MSL's "amazing" playoff performances for the Rangers is a bit of an exaggeration.

 

[Daves a mess]

Get a point here boys!

So done with this 5 D bs

 

[Bob Richards]

The team is playing better than the doom and terror of this thread implies lol.

Also I'm not going to front. Its an early March regular season game for a team comfortably in the playoffs. I honestly don't care that much anymore lol.

If we forget yesterday we're bound to repeat it tomorrow - extreme , stop the world.

System? He literally said he was told to just go out there and play. Then said I’m sure I’ll be taught a system with time. Sorry buddy. Go out and play was the system.

 

[pld459666]

We have some stupid players that come from the Joe Michelleti school of hockey, any shot is a good one!

Well, that's exactly the approach Alan Arbour had with the Islanders during their dynasty years.

I'm not completely adverse to the concept. I'd prefer more shots over the overpassing we mainline on.

 

[Atax]

Honestly man, take a breath on this one. He will be fine.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that goal plus the Takarski goal. He scored timely goals but wasn't the same guy that was art ross level with Tampa.

 

[duhmetreE]

Get a point here boys!

So done with this 5 D bs

We're playing with 5D and one of them is Harpur.

That is ridiculous

 

[Richard Banger]

How is age not relevant to a player's abilities?

When you don’t really on physicality as a player the age factor is minimal. Not to mention 35 is not old at all. Even today in the sports world. These guys are in insane shape. These guys aren’t just generic average joes like yourself.

The amount of scientific advances that’s gone into athletics is insane. These guys are boarderline genetically augmented at this point.

 

[pld459666]

We are going to lose this game

 

[chosen]

Who's challenging them? I think they're the only team in the West that would make the playoffs in the East.

So, you'll bet Colorado at even-money to come out of the West?

Getting less comfortable by the day… and we have 3 games against Pitt coming up

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

How is age not relevant to a player's abilities?

2023 Kane still has 45 points in 54 games for a rebuilding team. He's not 2016 Kane, but still a very good player.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Well, that's exactly the approach Alan Arbour had with the Islanders during their dynasty years.

I'm not completely adverse to the concept. I'd prefer more shots over the overpassing we mainline on.

Yeah but first of all that was in the 80s and second of all those shots probably came with screens in front from the likes of Denis Potvin not Ben Harpur.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

So, you'll bet Colorado at even-money to come out of the West?

They’re still easily the best in the west. Just not as much of a juggernaut as they were last season and Kadri was a big reason why
