GDT: Rangers @ Blues - "You Should Be Too Drunk For This St. Paddy's Day Game" Edition - 3/17/18 - 8pm ET

[GregSirico]

Focuses too much on being a DJ

Fiyah on the ice an on the dancefloor ... too much fiyah to handle.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Not to this extent.

If we had Scott Darling instead of Hank/Geo, this would be much more apparent.

Raanta/Talbot ?

 

[I Eat Crow]

Bad hockey team, but hell of a group of guys.

Gives me hope.

It's possible that all of the whispers about Miller causing a ton of problems in the locker room were true. This team has played like an elephant was lifted off of their chest since the deadline. Most guys can just play hockey and not worry about how they might be traded. Zuccarello in particular looks like himself again.

 

[GregSirico]

When people want to trade Zibanejad, I have to question their motive ... like do they just want to watch the world burn? Maybe they want us to really be worse than Buffalo?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Fair, but I'm glad they are where they are. They have some good building blocks, they just need one or two top tier players to put them back in the mix.

I agree. My point is Rangers fans just love underrating this team. This is still a team that has proud players that have made the playoffs more years than not in their career and have talent. We also got two players from good organizations that have talent. They are not the 2012 Blue Jackets, no matter how much Rangers fans want to think they are. I'd love to see them tank and get a high pick, but it looks like we underestimated them a bit.

I hate admitting it but ... that's something I harped on for a while bec Jeff Gorton always brought up the word CHARACTER in every interview he did since the deadline. Makes you think there was more to the JT swap than just a hockey decision.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Raanta/Talbot ?

Yeah well if we had this years version of Talbot, we'd be f***ing terrible.

 

[Loff]

Trade everyone, then bring in the Hartford roster for the start of next season. Sound good?

Just for once I want us to land that Svechnikov or Dahlin type ... JUST ONCE!

That could be true yes but also it's not the first time that when you bring in 2-3 new guys that the team starts to play better. Change of scenery and new players tend to play with a point to prove.

Probably still finish above the Isles.

 

[GregSirico]

Probably still finish above the Isles.

I chuckled a bit at that.

 

[EdJovanovski]

He's 24, he's washed up and we need to stock up on prospects that won't be NHL ready for another 4 years that may turn into a player as good as Mika by the time they're 24, then we gotta flip them for some prospects too.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Me too, in the end if they were losing every night I think it would be better for their future, but what can you do? At least the silver lining is they're somewhat watchable.

[GregSirico]

Introduce a little anarchy!

 

[LeetchisGod]

Except they just completely dominated this period.

And they looked like a high school team in the first period.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yes, there are going to additional deals. Maybe this is my own bias, but, when you have a 24-year-old center who's on 30+goal pace despite missing 10 games, and you have a player like Kreider who has shown how important he is in return, I think they are more important to the Rangers than they would be in a trade.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

When Buchnevich is on he's a joy to watch.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Another horrible play by Gilmour

 

[GregSirico]

Everytime I look at Gilmour's ability ... he does something like this to make me not like him.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Another horrible play by Gilmour

He's had a terrible game.

 

[Irishguy42]

Carey still exists? I honestly haven't noticed him since the Winter Classic.

 

[Gresch04]

Gilmour is not an NHL defenseman. And the 4th line sucks.
