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

[Filip Chytil]

Comeback incoming!

Mikkola moving to forward, he just blinds the goalie in front.

 

[RangersFan]

Should have been playing Laffy more, instead of that embarrassment of Kane/Bread

 

[Megustaelhockey]

It's embarrassing. This team will go down as bad of an embarrassment as 97-04.

Those teams were not even close to making the playoffs. Go for a walk around the block.

 

[DialUp]

Rangers would have lost this game if we had 10 EXTRA skaters on the bench. Being short, long, regular players is not the reason we lost. We lost because Boston is better than everyone else. They won't be our problem in the first few rounds if we make it that far.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This team sure can sure score goals that don't matter.

 

[bl02]

Much needed time off to rest, watch video and practice.

If they don't come out and dominate against Montreal Thursday I would be worried

 

[Row I Goon]

The headlines will be divided between how good Boston are and how bad Kane has been.

 

[duhmetreE]

Everyone wants to toss Gallant, but just look at this roster. Underperforming draft picks, aging big name vets (Kane is washed), and they cant field a full roster. How about we launch the front office into space.

same could be said for Boston.... last season

what changed?

 

[Machinehead]

It’s only two Games but am concerned. I watched him earlier in the season and he was man handled by a struggling Ducks team, and I said to myself, Rangers want this guy? He put up 90+ points last season, so it’s like why not? But think he is clearly not 100% and was putting on a show to get traded. Hopefully I’m wrong And he is just adjusting to a new team. But so far, it has not been good.

He's not good 90% of the time.

He's one of the best assassins off the rush of all-time. We don't have a rush.

It wasn't a fit and didn't address what's wrong.

 

[Atax]

Knuckle puck

 

[Raspewtin]

all i'm saying is that if we have a bad playoffs and it's in large part from either the vets or igor, get rid of them now. they're not getting better. the kids aren't going to be supplements any time soon.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Those teams were not even close to making the playoffs. Go for a walk around the block.

This team is making the playoffs based on play before Tarasenko and Kane.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Make a wish kid with 2 goals!

 

[Boris Zubov]

I saw a bunch of outside logo bound shots, and Igor having to be pretty good to keep it relatively close. The moment Boston scored their first goal on their first good chance, before we even had one good chance with 10 shots, says everything about that team this year. This isn't a Rangers knock; Boston doing this to teams this year is a matter of time rather than anything else.

Can't argue with that, but again we're on our 3rd game in less than 4 nights, down 3 of our regulars. The team is gassed as we've witnessed by this no show here in the 3rd. Also dealing with giant chemistry issues with new players...I'm not as down on this loss as most will be in the PGT. With that said, the Bruins didn't really impress me today...a team with their record should take advantage of us.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Never seen the league forcing a team to play 2 players short called copium before

We forcee ourselves by playing cap games. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. We've been so focused on pinching pennies to get Kane when all year Kane isn't the vaccine to what ails this team.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Wayne LaGretzkiere

 

[Ori]

A Laf goal at least some positivies. I am pretty sure that Boston will not win Stanley this year

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Most frustrating thing is we reduced vesey and tanks ice time for the ghost of kane when both were clicking

 

[Baby Punisher]

Meaningless goal.

 

[Richard Banger]

Which results in a chuck off the boards to nobody.

And then Panarin gives the puck away because the entire other team is in front of him already.

The injuries are amplifying it but we didn't fix the problem.

Eh I don’t think they are as bad as you are making them out to be. A simple fix would be to provide more short passes and move up the ice as a collective unit.

I think the issue is they aren’t moving as a group of 5. Just a lot of attempts of 1 on 1s.

what changed?

We keep firing coaches though and nothings changes…..

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Only positive from this game is laffy

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Why the f*** is kane on the ice

 

[bl02]

can Kane have hip surgery and be back in 6 weeks? lol
