GDT: Preseason - Game 3 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils , 7pm EST, MSG

[CLW]

Laf needs coaching help in the worst way. All the "old" kids do to some degree tbh. The good news is that it's preseason.

And f*ck Quinn and Gallant

 

[Cmox]

Puke Hughes

 

[Machinehead]

Scintillating stuff

 

[LeetchisGod]

The early overreacting to guys who already have a roster spot in a preseason game is hilarious

Hiow many first overall caliber skill plays have we seen from Laf in his career so far? He looks like a plug most of the time.

5 minutes left to the season if we don't score

 

[Leonardo87]

Kakko looks good.

 

[duhmetreE]

If you're going in with no pre-conceived notions.... "open eyes" as Lavi calls it... I don't see how Cuylle and Brodz don't make the team

 

[Fitzy]

I’m sure he will have his bad moments but Gustafson is going to be a helpful addition

 

[Kravtsov420]

is zibby even playing or is this his step brother Tofunibad

My yearly reminder of David Quinn's psychic manipulation forcing Laf to not make skill plays and learn defense being so strong it effects him years after.

 

[AirGut]

what's even worse is that I can already sense frustration in Laf and it's a damn preseason game. It's just seems more and more obvious that New York was the worst spot for a kid like him to land, although I don't think he'd be that much better anywhere else tbh.

 

[CTTribe73]

Why can no one on this team ever hit the net? it's unreal, I don't know any other team that misses as much as this team.

Because our players are not judged on hitting the net.

They're judged on how they hit opposing players.

 

[OthmannOut]

I do think the criticism has been unduly cruel. Leave him be for awhile, maybe 30 games and see what happens. Guarantee that's what Laviolette is gonna do anyway so we might as well save the spite.

Agreed that 30 games is a likely scenario and a fair amount of leash. He needs reps in big moments to build confidence.

Can't argue with that, only problem is that Brodz always looks like this in preseason, doesn't usually translate when teams are picked. Cuylle i agree with, i think we need some young legs in the bottom 6.

New York is a very easy place for someone to go. No one knows who the f*** he is except 500k fans dispersed in 3 states and 80 counties.

 

[Atax]

God It's going to piss me off seeing Tofolli more this season.

 

[Leonardo87]

So is it Kakko Kaapo, or Kaapo Kakko?

 

[NYR94]

5 shots on goal for Gus
4 for Brodz

 

[Shesterkybomb]

God It's going to piss me off seeing Tofolli more this season.

He's such a clutch player, it sucks he landed there.

Yeah. Could you imagine if Montreal had won the lottery and picked him?

Kid would have tire tracks up and down his body by now.

 

[Ori]

Rangers aim at the goalie when they shoot, he dont need to move much

 

[Kravtsov420]

"Oh Joe, the newest father of the group Mika Zibanejad. Hopefully he can get the boost that it gave Rick Nash Joe."

Looks around the room....ya people are pretty patient around here lol

 

[RangersFan1994]

Lafreniere should pick another career. He isn't good at hockey. Hockey Is useless and isn't a good skater. He was only drafted 1sr overall cause he is a Frenchman from the QMJHL. Bust

 

[Atax]

Is it too late to get Tarasenko back.
