GDT: Game 67: New York Rangers at Columbus Blue Jackets, 7:00 p.m. ET, MSG

[Leonardo87]

The place at Disney Springs always puts the game on for me. I slip them like a 30% tip.

They have a nice selection of local beers. My kinda tune.

Please keep Fantilli off the score sheet , so many reasons for this.

 

[TheWrongWay]

I'm gonna be up on your grille and posting in front of your face to make up for lost time. Now go close that deal.

I closed them already. I hate working. I retired at age 51.

In my grille? Nice, except I'm only in here like 30 mins a week. FYI... you're one of the ones I count on to make me laugh. Now go be funny

Even Lavy realizing how awful Soucy is.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

CBJ has let us back in it with a couple losses. This is as must win a must wins get. Will this team show some pride and guts or just be the same weaklings they’ve been all season?

I want to believe in them but this year has made it very hard to.

 

[McRanger92]

Am I supposed to have a problem with 2 guys we received for rentals being scratched? And isn’t scratching Soucy for Jones what his truthers wanted?

Rangers are playing their best possible offensive lineup. People love to complain. Just win the f***ing game.

 

[Alluckks]

Jones hasn't impressed me. Yeah, he moves the puck relatively well with the low bar this team has. He's just a normal average puck-mover by NHL standards. I'm not sure what happened but he's not really fooling people and I sort of remember he was more successful in the past to the point I dubbed him left-handed Fox.

He moves the puck alright on the power play but it hasn't been anything special to the level of creating wide open chances outside of a couple of isolated nifty plays.

Jones on defense is legitimately just real bad. He would also get absolutely eaten alive in the playoffs.

But size doesn’t matter

But size doesn’t matter

Soucy is 6'5" and can't play defense either.

Need to watch out for Fredrik Modin out there

Vyborny hatty and Denis between the legs, no look ENG from the red line after deeking past Cook, Cally and Gilbert. Typical Rongo forecheck fail.

Glad we’re rushing Fox back for a hopeless “playoff push”


Let the man heal

 

[Harbour Dog]

I'm looking forward to this game. That's quite an ill omen.

Think of it as a push for 14OA!

The Soucy deal was unnecessary. Healthy scratching him now is insane. Could’ve used pick 65 to build up the reserves on D or a swing for the fences type forward. Dumb asset management in an org that doesn’t know which way it’s going

If they actually scratch Carson Dookie they can go on a run

Trading for him was dumb, scratching him would
be smart because he is slow and not good

 

[Alluckks]

But size doesn’t matter

That can certainly be the case though. But for Jones, he doesn't play well with his stick or positioning away from the puck. He doesn't make up for his lack of size in the defensive zone in any way. It allows for other teams to get set up easier on offense when he is on his back foot on the ice, and then he gets pushed around deep on our zone plenty.

Size doesn't matter with Fox because he is just so damn good. He knows how to position and use his stick. His transition game is very good and is maintained offensive possession is elite. You don't need to be as good as Fox is in order for your lackluster size to be negated, but Jones does not make up for it all so his lack of size is further exposed.

10am Sunday puck drop in Oz.

Must. Win.

He's.... Fine... When not under pressure.

But he makes outright terrible decisions when under pressure.

 

[bl02]

It was too good to be true we could somehow get another Borgen with Soucy. He has been straight up bad and slow.
Somenone mentioned he was a cross between Harpur and Nemeth.
Only hope is he can return something if we trade him next year.

Is he playing tonight?

Obviously, you feel that I have "wronged" you.

Drury burns through draft picks the way I burn through condoms.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Brodzinski. The Captain we've been looking for.

 

[Row I Goon]

“It depends”

Regardless of results that should be the post game thread title.

Sums up the season, really.

Almost as stupid as AVs “we had some good looks”

Drury burns through draft picks the way I burn through condoms.

Please don’t share photos of any of your “4th round picks”….lol.
