GDT: Game 8 - New York Rangers @ New York Islanders - 7:30 EST, TNT

[Crease]

Did anyone watch us yesterday and think, we should bench Krav and leave Kreider as is so he can continue to suck the life out of the team? Big brain coach.

Kravtsov is not benched.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I'd rather have Tanner Glass. Hell... I'd take Philip Glass.

Phillip Glass makes Tanner Glass look like Ira Glass

HD chances were 7-0 Rangers. Score being 0-0 is criminal.

We can’t score. Can’t finish.

Hey, maybe work on some skill drills in practice.

Laf pullin the ol Kakko move, waiting out the goalie hoping the angle somehow improves (it doesn't) until below the goal line, noice!

 

[zlev]

good period. why couldn't Kakko bury that chance? we would get to see him deke'ing through 4 Islanders on every NHL commercial for the next year like McDavid against us last season.

 

[NYR94]

is there a bigger upgrade on earth than Hank in for Biz?

No.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Im not sure how you just watched that first period and think Kakko is snakebit?

I must have missed his goals did I?

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This fanbase has been spoiled by (almost) continuous great goaltending for more than 15 years.

Let me break some news for you: you're not getting a better goalie for that price.

I'd rather be spoiled by Stanley Cups.

he did everything right, Sorokin that sunovabitch made a great save with his skate.

 

[LokiDog]

At least Chris broke tradition and gave us a little rollercoaster ride by saving his career year for AFTER signing the obvious future albatross contract.

More good process/bad results hockey. They shouldn't change a thing because they're not going to continue having laughable shooting luck

 

[LORDE]

We were conference champs?

Sorry finalists

Am cooking while watching

 

[rangersfansince08]

He can't.

Right. Its not like the Gauthiers of the world are rare. Plenty of player flash speed and strength but can't finish. If Guathier could finish he would be a top six player with that strength and speed combo. He'll just never finish.

 

[Kovalev27]

I don’t understand why gauthier doesn’t shoot the puck on these moves instead of always trying to go around the goalie. Never works. Shoot the puck kid

But the line is way better with him than kravtsov. Kravtsov sucks let’s be honest. He’s not an 18 year old kid. He’s bad

Where is ryan callahan working....i liked his views

Are you sure? It seems like we've had poor shooting luck all season.

 

[Off Sides]

There is no player I'd take Tanner Glass over. That was the most ridiculous thing, that lasted for a stupid amount of time.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Sorokin always does this to us.

I don't understand how xG ere only 1.3-1.1 in our favor when HDC were 7-2 (if you include the PP) in our favor.

PP makes a big difference. at 5v5 it was 1.29-0.35

 

[LOFIN]

exactly, people act like Georgiev was the worst player to ever suit up for the Rangers. Was he good? No not really, but thats what most goalies look like around the league outside the few elite ones.

And upgrading that position is irrelevant. We should be good enough to win plenty of games with Halak in the net. If not, there's a problem elsewhere in the roster that needs to be fixed. And if Shesty goes down, we are f***ed any way.

Halak was good in the WPG game, bad in the Columbus game. He's did enough in the first today. Overall, the team played well considering it's a b2b and we were shorthanded twice.

Tocchet is just a goon. No charisma. You can tell Henrik and Carter think he's unhinged. Such an awkward environment.

Garand is the answer but i think they wanna let him simmer

 

[Cmox]

Man, Hank is a beaut. Great suit too.

yeah, we had a winning record with Georgie in net last year too. Thats what backups are for, you start them in the "easier" games and hope your team can pick up the slack. So far we haven't been able to.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Why do we struggle so much with Islanders goalies?
