GDT: Rangers vs. Lightning 02/27/19 - 7:30 EST

[Mandar]

No need for the Zamboni in Tampa's end after this period

 

[effen]

you take away time and space most effectively by laying the body on them. whole lot of gentle leaning, at best.

 

[Ail]

This is what I am talking about. This team is horrible.

 

[Larrybiv]

Lemieux will 100% score in this game.

3 things will happen tonight

42+ shots for TB incoming =100% chance
Baby Lemieux at least 1 point = 85% chance
Ryan Callahan and JT Miller 1 pt. Each = 75% chance

 

[TheTakedown]

This is what I am talking about. This team is horrible.

We're not catching Ottawa but we're definitely dropping to top 5

 

[Gresch04]

How did we not get Cerilli in that trade last year? We didn't push hard enough for an NHL ready player.

 

[effen]

Rotation is their secret. As soon as they get the puck in the corner, they throw it back high to the point or into the slot and there's guaranteed a lightning player there to receive it for a chance. It is definitely practiced

Yes. They practice offense. Actual offensive plays and sets. Rangers don't.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Buch is so lazy sometimes.

 

[Gardner McKay]

If Edmonton and Vancouver win and Chicago/Anahiem is a 3 point game... that would be ideal for us.

 

[Gresch04]

This is the tank level team I've been waiting for.

 

[RickChartraw]

Is the ice tilted?

 

[Mandar]

3 things will happen tonight

42+ shots for TB incoming =100% chance
Baby Lemieux at least 1 point = 85% chance
Ryan Callahan and JT Miller 1 pt. Each = 75% chance

That first one will happen midway through the 2nd period

 

[Rempe73]

Lemieux’s speed and hustle...I’m in love

 

[CasusBelli]

Is Smith playing forward these days? I’ve been seeing him in front of the net repeatedly.

 

[CasusBelli]

Buch is so lazy sometimes.

Sometimes is generous.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Buch is so lazy sometimes.

What? You mean two separate coaches don't have it out for the kid? Shocked I tell you! Shocked!!!

I like Buch but yeah. Sometimes he just half asses it. Almost Zherdev-esque at times (and no that isn't a Russian thing).

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Brickley-Nieves-Smith is just too much firepower for this Tampa team to deal with

 

[Ghost of jas]

Is Lemieux a rich man’s Lettieri?

I don’t think there’s anything about Lettieri that resembles Lemeiux.

 

[Gresch04]

Is Lemieux a rich man’s Lettieri?

Maybe a Billionaire's Lettieri.

 

[CasusBelli]

This is the tank level team I've been waiting for.

It’s borderline embarrassing — but as long as it gets us to where we want to ultimately be ...

 

[effen]

Wow, holy shit, someone laid a hit on someone and it resulted in the Rangers not getting dummied for 45 seconds straight.

This isn't rocket science. Even if you're late, hit them. Stop letting them freely cycle and rotate with no disruption.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

In coming pin ball PPG.

 

[duhmetreE]

Watching the Lightning play is beautiful IMO. All 5 keep moving to find open ice. Their puck movement... Their finish...

 

[mrmovies779]

Men against boys right now.

 

[aufheben]

Brickley? Shit I thought that was Kreider.

 

[trilobyte]

Is Smith playing forward these days? I’ve been seeing him in front of the net repeatedly.

Staal has already mastered that defenseman offensive presence thing, so it's Smith's turn now

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What? You mean two separate coaches don't have it out for the kid? Shocked I tell you! Shocked!!!

I like Buch but yeah. Sometimes he just half asses it. Almost Zherdev-esque at times (and no that isn't a Russian thing).

I'd trade his ass. I can't stand his lack of drive. He's such a waste of talent. It's a shame.
