GDT: Rangers vs Canes - "Here I am. Tanking like a Hurricane?" Edition - 3/12/18 - 7pm ET

Desharnais too

Tired of watching Gilmour mishandle passes to him and make completely asinine decisions with the puck. He has ZERO hockey IQ out there.

 

[RangerLifer]

It’s not an attack. Defensively he stinks. He’s proven nothing. He does anything that’s not awful and their is an extreme positive reaction.

What does he have so far, like 9 nhl games experience on a team that sucks this year? I think he’s looked pretty good all things considered.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

He tries to do way too much. And people see that and think it's gonna turn into greatness because it kinda looks good.

Because he makes moves on the blue line? You guys were ing in your pants every time mcdonagh or yandle did it...

 

[Machinehead]

He tries to do way too much. And people see that and think it's gonna turn into greatness because it kinda looks good.

In a way, you're right.

If he did nothing but safely chip the puck to the other team like Neal Pionk, everyone would love him.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Or a cap disorder.

Our PP entries have been trash for years. Just another reason among many that this entire coaching staff should GTFO of town. I think Gorton is going to get rid of them all with the exception of Allaire.

I don't agree with that, and though you can make a point against him on even strengh, it's asinine to not play him a lot on the pp, he is so much better at it than Skjei and Gilmour.

 

[Edge]

And for all the talk of Zucc, he’s right in line to finish between 15-20 goals and 55-60 points.

 

[stan the caddy]

Not me. I honestly like boring defenders that play defense. I absolutely hated MDZ and garbage defense and his attrocious +/-. He was the reason why they missed the playoffs that year.

 

[GregSirico]

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

And for all the talk of Zucc, he’s right in line to finish between 15-20 goals and 55-60 points.

Which should be good enough for another first round pick.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah MDZ was -4 with the Rangers. How dare he.

 

[haohmaru]

And for all the talk of Zucc, he’s right in line to finish between 15-20 goals and 55-60 points.

He's among a handful of players that really aren't part of the problem. If anything, him and Lundqvist are guilty of trying to do too much every single night because the team and the coach are completely inadequate.

 

[duhmetreE]

I don't know if I'd call him lazy... but he's just disengaged. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt... he might be thinking too much..

He does nothing though.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

You think Del zotto is the reason that 09-10 team missed the playoffs?

Lol.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Should warrant a 1st and a good prospect...maybe even an additional 3rd.

 

[Machinehead]

Again, if he was Kylan Pronger from Bear Crotch, Saskatchewan...

 

[NYR]

In 31 games ADA has 8 points/ -17.
ZERO goals.
While he's show glimpses of "flashy-ness" let's not act like he's a legit 2nd pairing Dman just yet..

Did you ever consider the fact that maybe Buch isn't exactly a 1st liner?

 

[Ghost of jas]

You think Del zotto is the reason that 09-10 team missed the playoffs?

Lol.

Christensen being the top line center had nothing to do with it.

 

[Edge]

He’s also the guy we overlook because he’s more or less a constant. I think I said almost exactly that before the season started.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Disappointed in Boomer as a Ranger fan...lazy, lazy hot takes.

 

[stan the caddy]

Yeah MDZ was -4 with the Rangers. How dare he.

What were the good players over that time period? I bet they weren't in the minus. Those teams were good. They only missed the playoffs once and it was because we had to deal with his growing pains.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I wouldn't say he's lazy. The way he plays though could be seen that way I suppose.

 

[Ori]

2nd period let`s go!!! ))

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Christensen being the top line center had nothing to do with it.

Or a defense that had pre injury Marc staal and virtually nothing else.
