GDT: Game #72 - New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes - 7pm EST, MSG (Part Deux)

[Baby Duck Homme]

They push and we give.

Would like to see us push back.

Not sure if we can. Hope we can shift momentum somehow. We have the skill. Do we have the will?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Trouba had had an abysmal
Period.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Aho is an elite play driver and finisher. Would be great to have him

 

[Kovalev27]

No clue what trouba was doing on that goal. Backed up to no man’s land

 

[ncdoc]

Just like last year we sucked. Give these guys a chance we have a good team. So much negativity as if teams dont play like this all the time.

 

[RangerLifer]

They look to have done absolutely nothing difference in preparation and are playing the same way they did after the 1st last game.

That's because that's who they are. Until they decide to get pissed off and show some pride and match Carolina's effort. But they won't. Because they are le tired.

Every word of this is true.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

What makes an ostensibly educated person troll an opposing team's message board. I'll really never understand. Talk to your therapist or clergyman about 12 easy steps to get a f***ing life.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Not great to see two games in a row where we’ve reverted back to just playing exactly how Carolina wants to play. That’s not how you beat them. If we did that in the playoffs last year we would’ve gotten swept.

 

[Raspewtin]

Carolina fans' sisters and mommies don't want to f*** them tonight so they're taking out their anger on our board.

please do something more constructive

 

[MysticLeviathan]

who are the fart knockers who think we can take down carolina in a 7 game series? I’m trying to see what you’re seeing.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

How does Carolina have fresher legs than us and is hungrier? We just look methodical and lethargic and we're getting outcycled on the boards. Our fancy shit ain't working!

 

[Machinehead]

There isn't a cup winner that HAS to do it to win. It is possible for them to somehow ride a meth binge all the way 16 wins, but how likely?

They do it in the playoffs, in most games.

Carolina plays like every ass game is the SCF.

It's appealing but unsustainable.

 

[CLW]

Carolina brings it every night — even when they don’t win.

I wish we did that.

Imo they play a little too much energizer bunny hockey. They have the talent to play smarter. A fair few of their talented players suffer a bit playing this style. As people have pointed out, if/when they run out of juice they will struggle to go all the way.

 

[effen]

rink wide shallow diagonal passes, what could go wrong?

they know better. they just dont f***ing want to change. That's it. It's really that simple boys.

 

[LokiDog]

I mean, if you want this team to play like Cocaine Bear every shift, take a number and get in line, but I don't know any Cup winner who does it.

The assumption that he would ride a team who has more talent as hard all 82 games is not based on any evidence. It’s just your dislike of the Canes. He gets his players to play, he keeps them in tip top shape, and has them ready to bring it when they need to. This sounds more like sour grapes than proof.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

We need this win if we have any hopes if winning the division. I have a feeling they'll come out flying for the rest of the game and win it. Just a strange feeling.

 

[Holocene]

lol canes fans really in here trolling over a regular season game

 

[CasusBelli]

Are all Canes fans insecure little bitches or just you?

Growing up in Florida and facing these assholes 7x per season for 10 years, I can tell you they absolutely are all the same. Especially when they were the Divacanes with Staal, Cullen, et al in the mid 2000s.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

The difference everyone between:

Pond hockey (rangers)
Real hockey (Hurricanes)

 

[Boris Zubov]

We need this win if we have any hopes if winning the division. I have a feeling they'll come out flying for the rest of the game and win it. Just a strange feeling.

That ship has sailed. We're not winning this division.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Panarin with another stupid turnover

 

[CasusBelli]

Imo they play a little too much energizer bunny hockey. They have the talent to play smarter. A fair few of their talented players suffer a bit playing this style. As people have pointed out, if/when they run out of juice they will struggle to go all the way.

Good point. They live and die by fitness.

 

[2014nyr]

dont think they need to even run the zamboni over carolinas end....would have 0 shots if not for a gift 5 on 3

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Not scoring on a 2 minute 5 on 3 sets the team up to lose the game. This team can’t afford to not convert on chances like that.

 

[Boris Zubov]

That's a bad penalty to take.

But an even worse call to make.
