GDT: Nashville Predators @ New York Rangers - 10/21/17: "Weirdest Start Time Ever" edition

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Leave it to the top 3 defenders to do the forwards jobs.
The 1st time with solid chances was all we needed to get 1 on the board.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

who's on the ice for the goal? JOFA josi ekholm. my point as stated earlier

 

[Armourboy]

Gotta admit the more comical calling by Willy and Crispy is a nice change. Wouldn't want it all the time but it's not all bad.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

wow subban really can't hold a puck in. y'all weren't kidding lol

 

[Armourboy]

And where the hell was that pass going?

 

[Flgatorguy87]

One of the worst passing games I can remember watching.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

nice play sissons. gives a breakaway and makes ekholm commit a penalty.

 

[Armourboy]

One of the worst passing games I can remember watching.

Oh I've seen a heck of a lot worse over the years lol.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

big penalty kill right there.

 

[Viqsi]

One of the worst passing games I can remember watching.

This here Jackets fan says this ain't nothin'.

Has indeed been seemingly getting worse. I'm not sure if that's Rangers stickwork, bad days at the office for folks, or both.

 

[GoldOnGold]

We need to tighten up and play like we have at home the last few games. Too many missed passes, especially backwards towards the points.

Frankly we've never played well in early games like this. If I remember right Pekka hates them and is just plain bad in them lol

 

[Viqsi]

Shifts like that make me think, yeah, Jarnkrok was worth keeping.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

there go the bums getting burned again

 

[NoNecksCurse]

for the love of God irwin

 

[Viqsi]

Oh, Irwin. You need to do better than that.

(Could've been worse - I saw the 5 and the 2 and thought "please G-d not Emelin AGAIN"...)

 

[Scoresberg]

Is Irwin NHL player anymore

 

[Armourboy]

Jesus Irwin my Mom could do better than that lol.

 

[Fantomas]

God Irwin sucks.

 

[GoldOnGold]

lol Irwin.

I mean come on.

 

[Armourboy]

I'm not sure where that early season Irwin went from last season but man he is loooong gone apparently.

Matt Irwin:

once we really come clean with our issues, things will get better. irwin, emelin, weber, and bitetto suck. all 4 are #6 defenseman at best. they see way too much ice time. they were burned in the finals and it's continued this year. even in the limited time they see the ice. weber had like 2:40 TOI in the first period. lavy knows they suck.

I try to be a little more diplomatic about it, but, yeah. Our blueline depth seriously needs improvement.

 

[josiesque]

That Weber Irwin pairing has to be one of the worst ever. Not sure they could hold their own against one if the better euro teams.
