GDT: Game 64 - New York Rangers @ Montreal Canadiens - 7pm EST - MSG

[SnowblindNYR]

He proved last year in the playoffs that he isn’t mentally weak.

The distraction of a new born however is very real.

Then he should have kept it in his pants. He's not getting $30,000 a year that's not an excuse.

Well vally said it the other day. His stance is so much wider than last year. If that’s the case he’s giving up so much of the top of the net. I don’t know why this isn’t being corrected. But I’ve never seen him beat clean like this so often. Just terrible goaltending all year from him mostly

Definitely giving up a lot more top shelf goals than last year.

 

[rangersfansince08]

They're so slow and boring.

Throwing grit at it didn't work.

Throwing skill at it isn't working either.

Kane is one of the most entertaining players ever and has all-time ability to play with speed. He got sucked right into the hole.

Something internal is broken whether you think it's the coach or otherwise.

Kane was always my favorite non Rangers player and I can't believe this is what we have reduced him to

He’s getting beat cleanly on clear sight shots every single game.

Idk how him and Benny aren’t 5 alarm fire fixing this. His stance being wide and giving up so much more up top and impacting his movements just screams a goalie who has zero confidence in his game.

He’s torpedoing this team and that’s not hyperbole.

 

[Machinehead]

It feels like we have been slow and boring since 2006-2007

The Jagr teams were slow but not boring. The Hank teams were boring but not slow.

Did we all magically forget Kane has a bad hip and knee?

 

[CasusBelli]

Well, then he needs to get to figuring out the book on them

Agreed. This better not be a case of Tommy Salo: technical excellence broken by mental fragility.

… wait, so he’s a human being?

I have a 10 month old. He’s the best thing ever. My wife and I have also had more existential crisis’ and questioned our relationship these past 8 months or so than ever before.

And we’re 10 years older than Igor. Now it’s still a disappointing season. It’s also still like top 10-15 in the league. Among the best of the best. Do we need him to be the top notch Igor? Yes. We’re kind of built around him being that good. But does he get to have an off season, in which he’s still somewhere around top 15 in the world? Sure. If he doesn’t bounce back, it’s a different convo. I don’t think he lost his ability or drive or focus. He’ll be fine long term.

 

[Kocur26]

Truths;

The Rangers are in collapse mode

Shesterkin is closer to Georgiev than he is Henrik

Pat Kane is an introverted headcase

 

[TGWL]

Game starts at 8, right?

 

[mas0764]

They don’t play an up tempo game which is what I heard Gallant plays when he was hired. It’s been the opposite of that.

I’d like to say it’s not the coach and that it’s something deeper but for the talent we had at the time I felt like under AV they at least played fast. They were always on the rush with that team.

 

[rangersfansince08]

He looked pretty dman good in this last games in Chicago

 

[Deleted member 23124]

Either Allaire is tinkering with stance for no reason or the guy is too mentally broken to fix it.

Definitely the former if you ask me.

 

[duhmetreE]

Zibanejad is laughable, your #1 center who doesn't have the ability to receive pucks in stride. Lmao.

Auston Matthews swap?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

As bad as Shesterkin was that was a horrendous period. Completely outplayed by a trash team. If we played any other team we'd be down 4-1.

 

[Off Sides]

Yeah, the subtraction of Blais and Gauthier is really costing us big time.

Remember after last deadline when they actually improved after the deadline? This is not like that.

 

[Machinehead]

Auston Matthews swap?

Matthews will just come here and be slow and boring and we'll all be like "why can't this guy pass?"

It's the team.

 

[SA16]

Did we all magically forget Kane has a bad hip and knee?

Did we forget he said the hip issue has been around for years and was never, and still isn't, a big deal? It's an excuse latched on to by people who want to say "I told you so" that they shouldn't have traded for him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Definitely the former if you ask me.

Then Allaire needs to go he's letting his ego in the way of his job.

It's not only that he's wide and dropping... he's wide, dropping and playing much deeper.

 

[Circus86]

It's not the players...it's the coach. We have the best top 9 in the league and this is the level GG has them playing.

 

[Daves a mess]

You guys watching Patrick Lame back check? He's the only Ranger I've ever seen behind Panarin.

Shesty- uh oh.

 

[Cmox]

haha Surfer Steve

 

[Machinehead]

Then Allaire needs to go he's letting his ego in the way of his job.

Hot take: all Allaire did was open the packaging on a Hall of Fame goaltender.

Who else have we produced? We struggled to find backups Hank's entire career.
