GDT: Game 8: New York Rangers @ Vancouver Canucks, 10pm ET, MSG

[Captain Lindy]

Thought that was a pretty bad period, outside of the one shift by the Trocheck line. Vancouver is pressuring hard and they are having trouble handling it.

For crissakes, we're up 1-0 on the road.

 

[Kodiak]

Ugh, now it’s intermission AND I have to sit through an interview with Nick Bonino? You guys really do this every game?

 

[duhmetreE]

Furious pace on both sides of the rink.

Gotta keep this up with the Nucks playing back to back.

Looking for Kravstov I don’t see him out there

You can see him in person plastered on the boards. The virtual board advertisements are covering him up

So what

Weird how solid the Canucks are and yet getting basically zero credit across the league…

 

[LORDE]

it's not 72 degrees in there.

@EdJovanovski confirm

It's 40 in Vancouver

Not that outside temp matters anymore for indoor ice

What a concept.

So…the Bruins left the windows open in 1974?

 

[TominNC]

For crissakes, we're up 1-0 on the road.

If they don’t go 5-0 on the trip there will be whining. Then again even if they do go 5-0 on the trip, there will be whining.

Kinda sad and pathetic

 

[Machinehead]

That period sucked and that's like 6 of the last 7 now.

It’s gonna take more than 7 games for them to get any recognition. But they have a lot of skill.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

We havent played 10 games yet. Calm the f*** down about any player.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't know how good Vancouver will be this year but you can see the high end skill.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I loved hove they tried to hit Cuylle and that player fell on his ass haha.

 

[will1066]

I think the mark on Bonino's head on the left is Hawaii and the mark on the right is Papa New Guinea

 

[DanielBrassard]

Yeah it hasn’t been pretty.

 

[LORDE]

I don't know... I was 1 yr old

Do you feel that technology hasn't improved since 1974?

I mean how did Tampa win their cupSSSSSS in 90 degree heat?

 

[duhmetreE]

Kakko, Chytil+ prospect and a 1st for Pettersson. Would you do it?

 

[Captain Lindy]

If they don’t go 5-0 on the trip there will be whining. Then again even if they do go 5-0 on the trip, there will be whining.

Kinda sad and pathetic

If we're up 5-0 then it's, "Oh, we're playing a team that sucks..."

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah it hasn’t been pretty.

Remember when Nashville hit like two posts and got robbed by Igor and then we literally scored 6 goals on our next 6 shot attempts and people freaked out that we were up 6-0 and way behind in xG?

That was funny.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Kakko, Chytil+ prospect and a 1st for Pettersson. Would you do it?

Unless that prospect is Perreault, not happening.

 

[LOFIN]

I would understand the urge to mess up with the lines if we were seriously under the pressure to get some points because of losses. But we are doing fine, so we should just stay patient. Because I'm telling you, if we are going to once again insert a guy like Wheeler or Vesey on the 1st line to enable Zib and Kreid to play their rush game (which is not working in the playoffs), we are going to be f***ed come spring time.

We are in a good position to try and fix the way this team plays, so let's try that. And thankfully so far Laviolette sees it this way as well.

 

[gabevh3]

Kakko plays in real life like the old fogeys who play NHL 24 using the face buttons only because they never wanted to learn the skill stick. Just the most basic possible options are available for him.

Hey hey I'm also allergic to the skill stick... I like the old school buttons lol

It’s kind of all blended together the past decade because it feels like that’s the description of any game the Rangers won. but yeah.
