GDT: Islanders @ Rangers | 7 pm | MSG

[n8]

That Islander shift, brought to you by McKegg's inability to shoot.

 

[mike14]

What was that 2 on 1.

The McKegg special.
I was getting Rico Fata flashbacks

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

McKegg's feet are too fast for his brain/hands. Please donate your feet to Kakko thx

 

[EdJovanovski]

McKegg is skating 90 with everything else 0

 

[LORDE]

The days of Kreider coming down on the left and ripping it past ANY goalie r done

 

[howztheglass]

Georgiev playing well after the first minute goal which wasn’t his fault

 

[Machinehead]

We're definitely not a gritty, physical team.

The Rangers are:

1st in penalties
1st in misconducts
2nd in fights
5th in hits

 

[n8]

I've seen three plays so far where Panarin looks slow in his decision making. Concerning?

 

[Alluckks]

McKegg thinks he's Jonathan Toews?

McKegg biggest fault is that he can skate decently well, it forces him into spots where he thinks he is a 2nd line player and next thing you know he never even got a shot on net

 

[Cmox]

Kegging it

 

[EdJovanovski]

lol McKegg. Idiocy at high speed.

He’s Kreider with no brains
Edit: actually often Kreider is Kreider with no brains

 

[Hinterland]

One day soon someone will tell Kakko he is allowed to hit opposing players in this league. One day soon...

He averages 0,30 hits per game which is more than Chytil (0,20) and almost the same amount as Panarin (0,36) who plays 5mins more. Also, Fox averages only 0,50 per game...as a defenseman playing 3mins more than Kakko. If you wanna blame Kakko for being soft, you probably gotta blame others first...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dobson has Vesey syndrome. He looks like a 6'3", 210 lb 11 year old.

Hot take: Smith fight changed the momentum and the whole complexion of this game for the remaining 44:41.

 

[NYRangers0723]

not really. End of a long shift and the defensemen was converging. He can still do it

 

[Alluckks]

Like, I can hearing McKegg's inner thoughts when he is skating with the puck "oh damn I am so good, look at the speed, look at the moves... f***"

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hot take: Smith fight changed the momentum and the whole complexion of this game for the remaining 44:41.

Thats how it works in NHL 17. Whenever i'm down early, a fight seems to turn things around.

 

[howztheglass]

Can we change McKegg for Smith between periods.

2 shifts in a row McKegg does nothing

 

[Tob]

With the cap crunch, tons of players are available mid late July for $1M to $1.5M. If we go out this summer and sign more of Haley McKegg DiGuissepepie as our supposed 12 13 14F I'm going to lose it.

 

[DanielBrassard]

f*** it's amazing how easy it is for the Islanders to carry the puck in. Stop giving this f***ing team so much room.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Wish kreider would take few more steps before pulling the trigger
He even has the srenght to make a drive to the net at those situations

 

[Machinehead]

Hell, we had two absolutely pointless fights in this game alone. It's something we do.

 

[Crease]

I feel like the NHL has turned into a league where coaches only care if you're sprinting the entire shift. Doesn't matter if you can't control the puck at speed or lose your checks. Just sprint around with good intentions.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

McKegg is brutal.

Yes, why is he taking a spot away from a developing prospect?
“You know, Kids”
apologies to the Hudsucker Proxy.

 

[LORDE]

not really. End of a long shift and the defensemen was converging. He can still do it

The book is out on him. He’s fast still... don’t get me wrong but he had like 10-15 of those last season and none this one

The chart people won’t like this but 100% true
