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

[Siddi]

They play like shit but please win for the sweet salty tears of the shitsburgh fan base.

Gallant is the one holding us back right now. The lines are a mess. Somehow with the pieces he has he put the worst 9 together.

The powerplay units like this is downright criminal. You don’t split these players up. Just absolutely insane decision

I honestly don’t know what they did those two days of practice but he put everything in a blender 5 mins later.

1000%. Gallants strategy when they added Kane and Vlad was to somehow become more hands off

 

[Machinehead]

They're giving up more goals per 60 minutes when he's on the ice than they're getting lol this is huge cope

That's who he's been since 2012. What did we expect?

I would love for Kakko to turn into a PPG black hole on defense.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It's nice that he has actual points to conject about.

I'd love to be able to argue the validity of the points Kakko produces.

The only interesting thing about Kakko's production is that you can't divide by zero.

You can find 4 game sample sizes for Kakko where he got three total and two accidental points as well.

Puckluck gonna mansplain this later

How do you know puckluck is a man

 

[RangerLifer]

I mean Kreider's was way worse.


I disagree. Kane being utter dogshit and turning the puck over left and right hasn't been great. The D is scrambling and completely lost without Lindgren. Zibby is largely invisible. Kreider actually looks slow. The two top picks certainly aren't helping, but they're not supposed to be the top producers on this team and we can't expect them to carry the team when the top guys suck.

Laf has also been scoring quite a bit lately.



Did you see the goal he scored against Buffalo? Wasn't even a shot on net. Let's not act like he's been some offensive dynamo.

Kane's goal yesterday was a total fluke. Agreed!

 

[Kovalev27]

Objectively the PP worked. They opened up a lane and the goalie in the next post code. No amount of coaching can overcome Kreider f***ing that up

I honestly don’t care if it worked on one offs. The long term health of sitting your top guys for big powerplay mins throws everyone off. It’s literally NEVER done. You don’t split up your best players into two powerplay groups. Literally ever.

 

[Machinehead]

Why are we comparing Kakko to Kane? We didn't rearrange the team and play shorthanded for like 2 weeks to fit Kakko. The bar should be slightly higher.

Because I'm responding to somebody who compared Kakko to Kane.

And sorry, it's time for the bar to get higher for Kakko.

He's a complete nothing.

He explains things to me after a loss like I explain it to my wife

 

[DanielBrassard]

Goes for a hit instead of the puck

 

[effen]

To paraphrase Trouba, too many guys going out for a twirl. Stop getting embarassed.

Tarasenko has some of that Kovalev "not gonna give a shit until you piss me off then oh right time to launch you into the boards comrade". Frankly shocked he stood up for Chytil like that.

 

[Cmox]

nice stuff by Tro.

Not f***ing many.

When Kane does that people think it's disappointing.

Kakko has wet dreams about Kane's dry spells.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Hahah I did, the Vatrano goal reaction made me crack up. Maybe I'll switch back

I shall never forget. One of my favs.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

nice stuff by Tro.

maybe his grandmother's house was not available this time.

missing the forest for the trees on this one lol

 

[Leonardo87]

Mika saves a goal.

 

[RangersFan]

SOFT. p***yES. SOFT. Ugly hockey.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not f***ing many.

You're comparing a 22 year old to arguably the greatest US player of all time.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Mikkola what are you doing lol

 

[DanielBrassard]

I want David Quinn back, I can't stand the way they play in the offensive zone.

 

[mike14]

Good work by Mika, but he's lucky he didn't connect for another high sticking penalty just waving his stick around like that at end

 

[Bob Richards]

maybe his grandmother's house was not available this time.

Honestly this team needs some indigestion caused by overconsumption of red sauce.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Who is that f***ing idiot anyway? Don’t even recognize him.

Exactly! Is there NOBODY else available than Colby f***ing Armstrong that 99.9% of NHL fans have no idea who the f*** that is.

 

[Kravtsov420]

I’m getting sick and goddamn tired of the fire Gallant diatribes every other post from the same guys. Over and over. You’ve made your point. Watch the game.

Fire gallant

I want David Quinn back, I can't stand the way they play in the offensive zone.

gallant makes Quinn look like Nostradamus
