GDT: Game # 64 - Rangers @ Devils - 7pm EST - MSG (Star Fox edition)

[bouds]

Was Dawes even in goal during that period? Couldn't tell when the puck was never in their zone.

Exactly, you’re going to give up goals when the ice is tilted one way. Igor usually bails them out but you can’t put up this type of performance, and expect repeated bailouts, happens way too often.

 

[Daves a mess]

Chris Kreiders super flub at the blueline started this cornucopia of assplay

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The team legit probably was planning its Stanley Cup parade because they had a good period and had all of these new players. Probably thought they would never lose another game. f***ing pathetic bunch of arrogant mental midgets.

I want to see them show some pride and battle their asses off in the 3rd period

They'll tease a comeback starting with 7 minutes left. Book it

 

[Matt Rentfree]

That Nemeth Braun pairing isn’t going to work, I’m glad they’re showing it now and not game 4 of the first round or something lol

I think Jones-Braun could be really good. I hope they try it out at some point.

 

[NikC]

A glaring issue for this team has been their transition defense. We do nothing to slow teams down when they come in the zone. Personnel doesn’t fix that

every game i say the same thing to myself. they have no neutral zone game whatsoever... they just abandon it. What system is that?

 

[CasusBelli]

Do we need Schneider back in to carry Nemeth again?

IMO, it's glaring how much quicker he is compared to Nemeth and even Braun.

Nemeth and Braun are 7D. No reason for both to be in the lineup. Could even make a case for Jones and Schneider being the third pairing.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Another idiotic old school hockey compulsion. That you can’t play rookies in the playoffs because reasons. Even though the veterans are trash.

Look no further than the neanderthal behind the bench for why that is. He is a fossil.

We did better against Tampa on this point, but you can't backcheck when your forwards are all caught at the other blue line on bad turnovers. Its a glaring weakness of this team and why they are terrible 5v5. The cute plays Fox and Panarin have done the past 2 years have been read like a book by other teams leading to odd man rushes.

I love it when you lose your shit

Wow, more complaining huh? You love to complain, it's all you do!

I don't know that you can use legit and probably together like that.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Can't wait for the Ziba Kreider Reaves line to save the day.

 

[CasusBelli]

That look on Igor’s face is wow.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Recent St Louis game?

Nope, we were out of it the whole game. We were f***ing dominating this game. The first 30 minutes were some of the best of the year, some defensive lapses so not perfect but really good. The first half of that second period was even better than the first period. This was an absolute collapse in the real sense of the word. The St. Louis game was just a beginning to end domination by the Blues.

I bet he legit probably doesn't care.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

It is his fourth game there, yes, but Vatrano has shown less than Hunt in that position lets be honest

Agreed, as you said though, it has only been 4 games. I still think Vatrano is a good fit for that line, but the RW can't be the only one doing yeoman's work on that line. Need a fast, tenacious center on that line to give Panarin the space to operate. Strome is not that guy.

 

[Kords]

The first period was fine?

And when the Ice started to tilt, the lack of familiarity came to the fore-front. This isn't something i'm making up, a few analysts have noted that most teams that add multiple players at the TDL run into chemistry issues.

 

[mrmel29]

And in a game like this Sam and Joe annoy the shit out of me!

 

[Boris Zubov]

I love it when you lose your shit

We get to witness it quite often rooting for this sad sack franchise.

 

[Unpredictable1]

If there's one team we can come back on - it's this Devils team and Dawe in net. I hope Gallant tore them a new one.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Lafreniere off the top line

Are you even a real fan with all this complaining? I mean, COME ON! You must be an ISLANDERS FAN or something because all you do is complain!

 

[17futurecap]

Gallant’s shakeup is always demote Laf lol

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Just like I said. Punishing Laf. GG is a clown.
