GDT: Rangers vs Capitals (Today @ 12:30pm)

[SnowblindNYR]

This is easily the most frustrating season since I've been watching this team. I was looking forward to this season more than any since 14-15 and this is what I get.

 

[CasusBelli]

My concern though, are the big contracts we have with Kreider and Trouba. And complete lack of center depth (right now, complete lack of centers, period). Hope is hard!

Exactly my thinking.

No Kakko....

Just left with micro-analyzing Quinn..

 

[Kovalev27]

Jack Johnson literally should be the last option behind smith Hajek Bitetto going forward. We all knew that was going to be the case from day 1 but good to see the coaching staff realizing it here now

 

[CasusBelli]

My interest for this game just plummeted

Really no point in watching anymore. God I must love this team.

 

[Anthony5967]

Hajek left in over JJ. Keep playing well and cement your spot!

I’d rather get a homeless fellow from 42nd. At least he’s appreciate the one-day contract.

and that 27 ... I just can't stand watching a shitty 27 ... (never got to see Kovalev)

Wasn’t thrilled Goat got benched for one bad game after putting together a nice stretch.

Interested to see how he responds today.

 

[SA16]

Is this coach serious? We pay 11.6M for Artemi Panarin. He's a LW. He just had an MVP caliber season. And now he's playing him on RW today? Way to neuter our best player and put him in a spot he's unfamiliar with...

False alarm. Lafreniere is at RW. Even worse. We're playing our 1 OVR pick who has 1 point in 15 games out of position?

 

[duhmetreE]

At least KAM is back. I'd like to see him unleash bombs on the PP... Is that too much to ask?

 

[Machinehead]

Somebody sticky this thing. Christ above.

 

[Kovalev27]

Howden has lost the 3C spot to Rooney. That’s gotta mean with a healthy Chytil Howden may not even be in the lineup.

 

[Machinehead]

Wingers should be able to play both sides

 

[duhmetreE]

His cluelessness never ceases to amaze me

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm excited for that top line. Here's the one positive, without Chytil our 3rd line is not going to produce anyway so Laf was kind of wasted anyway with Kakko healthy.

 

[RGY]

Why is Kakko out??

He will play six mins

No great tragedy there.

I'd move Howden to wing. It helped him last year. Blackwell can play Center.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Somebody sticky this thing. Christ above.

I clicked on the career advice thread, maybe it’s not too late for me to become a first line center?

 

[rangers1314]

Why is Kakko out??

COVID protocol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Wingers should be able to play both sides

The freakouts when players switch side is overboard. It's not wing to center which still happens. Friggin Brandon Smith played on the 4th line.

 

[RickChartraw]

Alright...I am ready, ready for the slow start! let's go.

 

[RGY]

COVID protocol

FFS again???
