GDT: Game 78: New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens, 7pm ET, MSG2

[ReddestRum]

Great save off the deflection there from Igor, it's just a shame that every Ranger there just watched it all happen. I would've given a cross-check there just like Linds took the cross check, but not the Mika-Kreider line. Nope. Nice of Kreider to get that going by flubbing a pass on a 2 v 1. Is he good for anything other than deflections and skating fast in a straight line?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

PP minutes will do that.

Next year Laf better get some PP time. He'd have at least 70 points.

There's still nobody on that unit we realistically take off.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I don’t care how many times Kreider taps the puck into an empty net on the PP, he looks so bad at 5v5. It’s really apparent he’s either lost a few steps or is lazy.

 

[will1066]

ok...this was a sarcastic joke targeted (sub replied) to a poster who joked that Rempe is in to counter Caufield.

All jokes, all the time.

All jokes all the time?
DialUp?
WDNS? 1010?

 

[gabevh3]

It's pretty clear that Rempe is no deterrent to Cole Caufield.

Cole would go through his legs

I could think of a couple, tbh.

I have been exposed

Realistically.

 

[noncents]

I am having nightmares of Trouba in the playoffs. Hemmed in the d zone. Coughing up turnovers left and right. Such a liability out there.

he actually can't skate. concerning

 

[Reijo29]

They do everything in there power to give up a goal at the end of these periods. They controlled that whole period, then get dominated the two minutes before the goal.

 

[ReddestRum]

There's still nobody on that unit we realistically take off.

Can't take Zib off? All they'd have to do is reverse the formation.

 

[effen]

Sometimes he yells after scoring for reasons unclear.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Honest to God I could give two shits how many goals Kreider has. He is the laziest player measured in energy expended per minute. I want to chuck a can of beer at him from the 200s every time he steps on the ice.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Thought it was a fine first period. Can’t imagine that Montreal doesn’t cough up a few goals here at some point

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Realistically.

If anything you make a spot for the kid who is busting his ass every night. His 5v5 production is insane. You have to reward that.

 

[Machinehead]

Can't take Zib off? All they'd have to do is reverse the formation.

They won't.

It's a top 5 powerplay in he league, they're not making a massive alteration to it.

I'm not convinced they should.

I don't need Laf to have more points to impress Devils fans.

 

[Reijo29]

Absolutely unreal. Dominate the period and down 1 another goal shesterkin looking around no idea where puck is. How many of those this year? He gets pucks banked off him more than most I swear.

How many points does Fox have if he isn’t passing to a wide open lindgren instead of like an actual good player?

The last minute or two at the end of the period they were awful before the goal, which is too much of a trend.

 

[RangerLifer]

Most of the shots on goal were low danger scoring chances. That period wasn't good for how good the Rangers are to how bad the Habs are. Rangers need to be better

Rangers are playing down to the competition.

And Zibby was out there to “win” that faceoff as well I think. (Narrator: He fkkn lost that faceoff.)

 

[Killem Dafoe]

lol I love you but I really hope you don't think this is why I want him on PP1.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If anything you make a spot for the kid who is busting his ass every night. His 5v5 production is insane. You have to reward that.

Nah, you do what’s best for the team. Want to make an argument Laf would improve the top PP fine, but putting him there just to do it isn’t how they should be deciding things.

 

[Tob]

We need a big hit to get the team going. Slafkovsky has a bad habit of keeping his head down. If we could get Trouba or Rempe to knock him into the next universe, that'll really get the garden crowd going.

 

[DialUp]

I don't need Laf to have more points to impress Devils fans.

Exactly. If we truly think Laf will add to a top power play Laviolette would have found a way to do it. Now, if the powerplay was garbage and Laf still didn't get his chance, then sure we can have beef.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I think it was Graves, not Messier

You're correct. I was referencing 91-92, but the 3 you named did it in 92-93.

Neil Smith is so lucky we won in '94. The young talent he traded (gave) away still irks me.
