GDT: NYR @ BOS Part II

[HatTrick Swayze]

Zero puck possession or forechecking. I'll chalk it up to rust.

But it's ugly.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Then GTFO?

Why should I GTFO when the team doesn't show up?

 

[Tackaberry]

Losing, so.... Fire Torts!

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Lot's of overreaction here. Were you expecting a 4-1 blowout game?

I'm not really overreacting, they are playing fairly poorly. But its not the end of the world.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Where has Stepan been? I haven't noticed him in ages.

He's been himself, which means you rarely notice him. Good player just not very proactive.

 

[Fitzy]

The difference in this game so far has been the aggression on the part of the Bruins defensively. They are not sitting back, which means the Rangers will have to move the puck more decisively.

Needless to say its a good strategy. Early in the season teams haven't gotten a great grasp of each other yet, and throwing forecheckers at them is more likely to cause them to crumble under pressure.

Gaborik has still not been on the ice enough.

 

[MrEctions]

Wow lots of overreaction going on. Its game 1 with no preseason, I expected it too be sloppy as hell and.......gasp.....we might even lose. Not the end of the world.

 

[beastly115]

Lol at all the panic. We havent been playing that bad. What I see is a team that simply hasnt gelled yet.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Why should I GTFO when the team doesn't show up?

Because you're ridiculous?

 

[broadwayblue]

Some of our posters are embarrassing. But I guess it's to be expected. lol

 

[JCrusher*]

hagelin needs to get his stuff together. he looks lost

kreider hasnt done much but hes playin with 2 grinders. expect him to step into hags minutes in the 3rd

defensively we really have been pretty good but for a few idiotic giveways in the neutral zone and BAD LINE CHANGES

i agree im not saying kreider has been good but he hasnt been a liability. i mean like you said he is playing with 2 grinders against a good defensive team

 

[Vitto79]

yea real sloppy but a good third and win is all that matters

 

[broadwayblue]

Because you're ridiculous?

Just ignore the fools. It's not like we're being blown out 10-1. Some people are just stupid.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

i agree im not saying kreider has been good but he hasnt been a liability. i mean like you said he is playing with 2 grinders against a good defensive team

Of course he hasn't been a liability he's played six minutes...

 

[Killem Dafoe]

He took one penalty?

lol apparently more than one?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I agree that Kreider needs a look on that first line. Hags has been pretty terrible.

 

[BBKers]

Good
Nashs attempt to get things going
McD - best Ranger so far
Hank
MDZ
Pyatt
Halpern
Boyle
Callahan
Bickels destruction of Bruin face

Bad
Rupp getting tagged but still landing more
Gaborik
Staal
Stralman
Segal - ups & downs
Kreider looks lost

Ugly
Hagelin
Stepan

 

[Zibanejbread]

We did pretty well in third periods last year; I have faith we can start off the same way this year...

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider-Boyle-Pyatt has looked good.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Because you're ridiculous?

Today's effort isn't embarrassing?

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Did you guys see the "glitch" on the MSG 150? The little byline on the highlight said "This is a line of text."

 

[GregSirico]

any update on Staal?

 

[TheCaptain]

It's game one of a shortened season with no preseason

 

[JCrusher*]

I agree that Kreider needs a look on that first line. Hags has been pretty terrible.

Kreider has great chemistry with stepan

 

[Machinehead]

Today's effort isn't embarrassing?

Am I crazy or is the game not over? We still like, you know, win.
