GDT: PS #3 - 9/23/13 | New York Rangers @ Calgary Flames | 9:00 PM - MSG

[Trxjw]

Nice D, Kristo.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Get Richards away from the top two lines. He's slow, stupid, and useless.

 

[Kakko]

Not gonna get upset about a goal scored with Bickel on the ice, he'll likely never see the light of day if everyone's healthy.

not to mention that Calgary is playing with A LOT of NHL guys

 

[Boruto]

I haven't seen Del Zotto at all in the 2nd, injury?

cut around ear I believe.

 

[The Gloaming]

Not gonna get upset about a goal scored with Bickel on the ice, he'll likely never see the light of day if everyone's healthy.

The memories of Bickel in 11-12 will never stop haunting my dreams.

 

[Championship*]

Bickel and Falk, na-na-not gonna be playing here anymore

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I haven't seen Del Zotto at all in the 2nd, injury?

Skate cut his ear and hit him in the head.

#onlytherangers

 

[JCrusher*]

Richards had no chance..

what the hell happened to him during the lockout. I understand having an off year in a lockout shortened year but he looks like he lost all his skills

 

[Blue Blooded]

I haven't seen Del Zotto at all in the 2nd, injury?

Well, there we go:

New York Rangers ‏@NYRangers nu

After being cut on the ear, @MichaelDelZotto getting fixed up in #NYR dressing room, hoping to return tonight

 

[Levitate]

Rangers are still way too sloppy and careless with the puck. They have to break the habit of just throwing the puck away when they get it because they're worried someone is going to maybe get it instead. You can't run a successful offense if you're constantly throwing the puck away. They have to possess the puck better and keep possession of it

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Bickel and Falk, na-na-not gonna be playing here anymore

so Johnson and McIlrath will be a nice upgrade

 

[JohnC]

Sam and Joe pissing in the wounds of Giants fans too while they're at it

 

[Machinehead]

The memories of Bickel in 11-12 will never stop haunting my dreams.

I always think of the 3 minutes of ice time in a game that lasted nearly 116. That blows my mind, glues it back together, and blows it again.

 

[Kane One]

He got out of shape. The only hockey he played was in those charity events, and that's not NHL-level hockey at all.

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

This team has 0 dps.

Good times.

When you want crazy NHL stats, that's the one. Didn't play at all after the 2nd period.

 

[Machinehead]

Asham be like "lol drop pass"

 

[JCrusher*]

i agree but i thought he said he got back in shape this offseason...sure doesnt look like it

 

[JohnC]

Asham pulling a Richards

 

[1989]

As a Flames fan observing your team, you'll learn quickly three things about Vigneault:

1) He loves players that the fans hate.

2) He is nearly incapable of utilizing good players to their full potential.

3) He's not very good at changing up the game plan / adapting coachign tactics as games go on.

Saw it with the Canucks, seeing it now. Sorry, but in my opinion it's even more obvious now that he's with another team and I'm seeing the same patterns.

He's not a TERRIBLE coach but he doesn't deserve a good team and the win/loss record he's accrued.

Yes this is preseason and there is still time to iron out kinks but I doubt you'll see enough difference to bring the Rangers a Cup. I don't even have anything against the Rangers, it's just sad.

 

[OverTheCap]

The sad thing about Bickel is that he is still around a year and a half after that OT game in which he barely played.

He is like a bad case of herpes that you can't rid of.

 

[The Gloaming]

30 minutes left. Can we score 3 goals?

I'm going with no.

 

[Ian]

Three players who got clear chances this game: Richards, Mashinter and Asham.

 

[Boruto]

To be fair, they have a very complete line up compared to ours.

NHL players: J.Moore, Nash, Stralman, Staal, Lundqvist, Del Zotto
Players out of depth: Asham, Kreider, Powe, Boyle, Mashinter, Richards, Pyatt,
Yet to be NHL players: Kristo, Lindberg, Hrivik, Fasth,
Not NHL calibre players: Falk, Bickel.
