GDT: Game # 66 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 4pm EST (Game is on TNT)

[LokiDog]

the problem is the coaching staff HAS TO have 2 players who they think are good defensively with Zibs... so they can play lategame in defensive scenarios. That's why he rarely plays with the kids.... Kakko being the exception but Galaxy Brain refuses to put back our best analytical line together.

But… you can just have a line that you go to late in games and for defensive scenarios. They don’t need go be your regular partners. If you wanted to you could literally put Zib, Goodrow, Vesey out late to defend a lead. They don’t need to be linemates.

It cannot be overstated how effective Kreider and Zibanejad are 5v5 and how important they are to this team.

We've taken them and made them a mixed-bag at best in terms of possession and they're not scoring.

Fox plays a lot with that line.

We've taken our three best players at even strength and essentially removed them to play a line that blatantly doesn't work.

I know we complain about every coach but Gallant has to be the worst we've had with lines. He just keeps crashing into a tree over and over again with lines that even the intermission panel are dunking on. Anything that does show a glimmer of hope, he breaks up after a period.

He's incredibly stupid.

Like, draw-droppingly so.

Colby Armstrong maybe looks the worst post hockey. Doesn't even look like an athlete, haha

have you seen Brett Hull lately? lol

 

[Circus86]

the GDTs on HF are always full of scorching takes, absolute nonsense, and utter reaction. if you have such a problem with that, don't participate.........it's the thunderdome of the board just by the nature of it.

HFNYR GDT's are the best. Sometimes I get salty myself but some of it is just joking and having a laugh. I enjoy it. People shouldn't take it too seriously.

Missed the first. Everyone angry yet?

 

[TheDirtyH]

I don't think I've found Crosby annoying since that first finals appearance. He's a great player on a rival but idg the hate tbh

 

[Mike in Houston]

Messy. Penalty trouble early (2 x 5v3 included) and some very sloppy defence, plus the usual over passing/passing to noone.
4th line has been our best and scored our goal

And the passing to guys who are clearly tied up and can't make a play.

 

[Kane One]

have you seen Brett Hull lately? lol

Did he morph into a fat alcoholic like his dad?

yes.

Amazing that TNT has to show us Colby scrub Armostrong goal highlights lol

Have you seen him with Malkin, Gonchar and Talbot in a Pittsburgh local Mercedes Benz dealership commercial? It's gold

Yeah it actually only spirals once the meta-conversation begins. I tend not to get as angry as most so most of the time I find the words and phrases people come up with in utter rage hilarious

Almost a 61% XG when the 3 of them are out there together, should be trying to match them all together as much as possible.

 

[Nickmo82]

How will the refs hand THIS period to the Pens I wonder?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Have the Rangers played a good game since the end of the Edmonton game?

f*** him.

idk man, they were playing other hockey teams in those games, don't forget

 

[mike14]

Kreider-Tro-KK kind of just feels like a 'spare parts' line

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Have the Rangers played a good game since the end of the Edmonton game?

The last “good” game they played was probably Tarasenkos first game, vs the Kraken

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This team is a f***ing atrocity on every aspect of the game.

 

[will1066]

Fox reversed on a reverse which f***ed everyone

 

[Machinehead]

Single-digit IQ play by Zibanejad

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Thanks Mika
