GDT: Game # 71 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST - MSG (Sonic the Hedgehog edition)

I understand they're resting him, but he plays every other game now, how much rest does a starting goalie need? Why does Georgiev need games but not Shesty? Does Shesty not get rusty?

Not disagreeing with you, but it’s just clearly something that BA has communicated that he thinks it’s best to reduce Igor’s workload. It’s not the best sign.

I’d rather let Geo play 5 straight and then have Shesty play 2-3 straight before the playoffs begin. I don’t give a f*** about who gets rusty. I do give a f*** about which one is rested when the post season starts.

Don’t suck, thanks

 

[SnowblindNYR]

"The Devils for the past 3 years have been a top 3 breakaway team". Good thing we're starting a goalie that's 0 for his career on breakaways. Seriously, f*** Gallant 5 ways to Sunday. I'm starting to despise the man.

Wife and I will be repping Zib and Fox in NJ tonight.


…bought some ghost pepper tequila so I may be feeling a bit spicy literally and figuratively tonight. LGR

Update: holy shit this is spicy. I made a tequila and club to water it down so it’s pretty pleasant, would definitely make a good spicy marg, but with no sugar or anything cutting the spice it can still catch you pretty good with just club soda. And it can make your eyes water if you breath in before you sip. Kinda love it. Kinda feel it’s too novelty to enjoy frequently. But fun. Also we got the tix tonight for $32 total so… hopefully my luck rolls over to the Rangers.

Bloody Maria.

 

[Crease]

Getting close to a full roster again.

Kreider - Zibanejad - Vatrano
Panarin - Strome - Copp
Laf - Chytil - Goodrow
Motte - Brod - Hunt

Where does Kakko slide in? I think at 3RW, with Goodrow sliding down to 4C.

 

[Machinehead]

Looking forward to Schneider-Braun being complete tits but people being ok with it because it's Schneider.

Shesty is rusty now and looks mediocre out there.

That's absolutely not where he should be and also absolutely where he will be.

May have just inadvertently sacrificed a hipster on our way to the holland tunnel. Hopefully they were a devil’s fan.

whats the name of the ghost pepper shit youre drinking?

How do you know it's BA? Didn't Gallant do this in Vegas too?

 

[LokiDog]

Right but Shesty looking off right now is a irrelevant. And what’s the difference between rusty and tired? Shesty can be rusty/tired right now. As long as he isn’t in May.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Games with Georgiev are f***ing unwatchable. I look forward to a game all year and it's like a f***ing wet blanket.

Wait are you going to this one? LOL it’s like Gallant is doing it to f*** with you

 

[LokiDog]

“Ghost”. Groundbreaking.

 

[17futurecap]

Think it will be 8/4 for Igor starts in last 12

Geo tonight, Philly, Islanders and Montreal

Last game of the season could also be Geo if it means nothing or they split it.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Games with Georgiev are f***ing unwatchable. I look forward to a game all day and it's like a f***ing wet blanket.

The last 3-4 weeks, Shestyorkin hasn't been much better.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

No, I meant I look forward to it all day. But the one game I went to this season Fourgiev started due to injury but they won.

 

[duhmetreE]

Wait... are you using tits as a good or bad thing? Specify what type of tits

 

[rangers1314]

BA runs the goalies. Just like Murphy runs the D.

All Goaltending decisions are made with him.

 

[mike14]

I have no problem with him being scratched tonight, but what was the point in playing Gauthier last game, especially on the 3rd line? Did Hunt really need a rest?

 

[ArPanet]

Henrik is awesome in the studio

 

[EdJovanovski]

Is that true? Many head coaches are known for their defensive structure and such, I always thought they still get the final say on everything even if the assistant specializes on D or whatever

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The last 3-4 weeks, Shestyorkin hasn't been much better.

1) He has. Last game Shesterkin shut the door after a disastrous start.

2) He's a much better goalie, 9 games out of 10 he'd have the better game, I don't care about his slump.

3) Are you really doing the Fasth thing? Dude puts Shesterkin on his jersey. Plus, the Russian letter between the t and k is pronounced "yo" but reading it in English Shesterkin sounds closer to his name than Shestyorkin.

I'm talking about a Rangers defense pairing that doesn't have Fox on it. What do you think?

 

[failure]

Gallant is pissing me the f*** off. There is no f***ing reason why Georgiev should be starting tonight. This f***ing imbecile is playing Georgiev every other game like he's as good as Igor. These games become unwatchable because every time the other team comes into our zone you hold your breath. Igor's struggling how about we don't give him a chance to find his game and give him two games a week. This guy is a f***ing joke.

Maybe he is playing Geo to get him some reps so he doesn't come in cold for the playoffs. Or one could hope.
