GDT: Game 7 - New York Rangers vs Colorado Avalanche - 8pm EST, ESPN, ESPN+

[Shesterkybomb]

We might need to start considering tearing things down — with some exceptions. This team, under proper coaching, is definitely good enough to get (deep) into the playoffs. But, when you’re facing the Colorado, Edmonton or Toronto (and perhaps, soon, New Jersey) cores for the next decade, I don’t see us winning a title. Our top guys will be a fraction of their current selves three years from now — and we’ll have nothing to show for it.

TLDR: sell high when you can’t win.

No. In 3 years from now our young guys should be in their prime and we will back fill with Othmann etc. We have 2 first rounders this year, im hopful we atleast keep one.

Arizona showing how it's done. 4-0 against Columbus after 2 periods. Feels good man.

They should just make all penalties reviewable with a 2 min minor (delay of game) for failed challenges

Sarcasm or serious?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Kessel dressed for his Blues Brothers audition!

 

[CasusBelli]

Lmao

You really think Zibby, Kreider and Panarin are gonna be PPG at 35. Because that’s what your top players need to be.

 

[Cmox]

Damn Kessel really embracing the Kostanza

 

[duhmetreE]

I just want a modern day NHL uptempo/attack system.

Is that too much to ask?

You guys are vastly superior to Edmonton LMAO.

 

[NYR94]

What did you expect?

Shots on goal?

A fourth line that doesn't get caved in every shift?

The refs actually making the right calls?

That's hockey.

 

[DuneGoon84]

If we can't score on georgiev then this loss will be demoralizing. We can't keep up with their speed at all. Fumbling pucks can't string a pass successfully. Our transition game is laughably bad.

 

[CasusBelli]

Sarcasm or serious?

Serious. Why not?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Coyotes are showing the Rangers how to beat Columbus. Pathetic.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Could be worse. We could be the Bluejackets losing 4-0 to the Coyotes right now. Imagine if the Rangers lost to the Coyotes.

 

[duhmetreE]

can we look like we want to win in the 2nd?

 

[CasusBelli]

You guys are vastly superior to Edmonton LMAO.

They have given Colorado (in the playoffs no less) a much tougher time than we have.

 

[hackeyman]

Huh ?

 

[Synergy27]

I mean, the review thing is a dumb rule but it’s a rule. My problem is that they reviewed it anyway. And then negated what the review showed. What’s the point?

 

[will1066]

Wow, not holding back on CBJ. I recall that trash team beat us 5-1 lol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Serious. Why not?

Because it would slow down the game and usually judgment calls aren't reviewable in sports.

 

[mike14]

They should just make all penalties reviewable with a 2 min minor (delay of game) for failed challenges

They let the refs and linesman huddle for puck-over-glass calls, just do the same for a high-stick with a sneaky glance at the jumbotron. Quick check, see you got it wrong, drop the puck.
Would take less time than making the call, deciding to stick with it and having to explain it all to the captain and coach while coping an ear full..

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Laf has been terrible

everyones been terrible

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If Kakko and Laf can’t start compiling points then there is no need to spend to rent.

I dont disagree, imo laf and Kakko cant play with Zib or Panarin as they are defering to them. If I'm making a lineup out of whats on the ice tonight it's

Panarin zib Kreider
Laf trochek kakko
Blais Goodrow Kravtsov
Vesey Carpenter reaves

 

[romba]

Kreider has zero compete level. Byram is half his size, yet outmuscled him easily.

Yea I saw that too, Kreider had no speed or momentum and was easily walled off.

Then Kravtsov tries to shield the puck heading to the net and gets easily outmuscled easily by Makar *cringe*
