GDT: Rangers vs. Red Wings | 3/19/19 - 7PM - MSG

[Gresch04]

I can’t imagine people paying to watch these two teams.

 

[Machinehead]

They see a guy who’s a great skater and then hear about him scoring a ton in the AHL. Sorry, there’s nothing there. Kid can fly so he looks good can lower competition in the AHL, it’s as simple as that. AAAA player.

It wasn’t obvious the end of last season he doesn’t have an NHL future and further obvious when he stayed all season in the AHL this year. This call up is a thank you congrats on the great season and being a good soldier here’s a reward type thing. No future here for him.

You might be right, but guys on this team with full-time jobs do what he just did every night, usually twice a night.

 

[Tob]

Surprised as you are. They don't seem compatible. Opposites attract, I guess.

Nothing has attracted to each other since Skjei-Smith for 12 games. Staal-Holden, Shattenkirk-Staal, Shattenkirk-Smith, Skjeittenkirk, Pionk-Staal, Skjei-McQuaid. It's all garbage.

 

[Machinehead]

Surprised as you are. They don't seem compatible. Opposites attract, I guess.

Shattenkirk has one leg. Gilmour skates like he has three. Together they have the right amount.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Chytil has had a great 1st period

His only issue is learning to pick and choose his spots for where to shoot instead of pass, but otherwise, he looked great as the primary puck facilitator on his line. He had more jump in his legs and made better reads too since he wasn't sitting high on the wall

 

[RGY]

Gilmour and Lettieri with the same ineffectiveness as before. Plays go to die on Lettieri’s stick. Gilmour’s defense is non-existent. His great skating is nice and all, but he certainly wont produce like he did in the AHL to offset is poor defensive ability.

He got out-muscled a couple times, one leading to a goal. He had a bad read / positioning and it les to a quality chance at the end of the period for Detroit. He had a hard time in front of the net with the opposition’s forward and was pushed back right on top of Hank.

 

[Gresch04]

Chytil had a nice period but he should be pretty good in the AHL at this point.

I definitely wouldn't put any weight on him playing center as the reason.

Why not? Seen it before with players who are more comfortable at their preferred position and they relax and play better. Being comfortable equals confidence which translates on the ice.

what if I told you Chase cardholder get to enter through a special door and get $5 for the food court?

Lol that’s true but that doesn’t make it okay.

Really though the only guy who really continually makes such poor gap reads and leaves so much open ice and the loses physically battles like that is Pionk and I also don’t think he’s a legit NHLer either so.

 

[Machinehead]

Well it's not his preferred position since he never played center until his age 17 season, and we're playing the Red Wings.

Fair enough.

 

[Gresch04]

Can we invoke the little used family swap rule and trade Smith and Strome for their siblings?

 

[Gresch04]

I didn’t say most familiar. Still could be is preferred position. Sure it’s easier to excel against the wings. But that doesn’t mean it’s not his preferred position.

I think that because we vetoed Dallas when they tried to pull that with Joel and Henrik we're ineligible for at least another 5 years

I like Smith, but I'd be totally behind this.

 

[will1066]

These moves are Gorton. Don't think Quinn has a say. Gorton wants to see these guys over this last stretch of games to decide Love It or List It.

 

[Gresch04]

Did Maloney just say: “he’s nowhere near man strength?” About Chytil? Lol.

We’re going to have a shit ton of “list it”.

 

[RGY]

Even if you are on the wrong side coming onto the ice, you do not vacate the middle of the ice as a defenseman.

 

[Avery16]

The thing is, they both did. Simultaneously, after asking each other if it was ok. Bad mistake, not all Gilmour's.

 

[Gresch04]

Joe telestrating that our veteran $7M man Shatty was as bad as AHLer Gilmour on that goal.

 

[Machinehead]

Did Maloney just say: “he’s nowhere near man strength?” About Chytil? Lol.

You know, he's really not wrong

 

[Gresch04]

Red Wings intentionally taking a penalty knowing how bad our PP has been for a month.

 

[Gresch04]

You know, he's really not wrong

No doubt! I was surprised he said it that way.

 

[effen]

the defensemen drift towards the net when they're looking to shoot and all that does is give shotblockers a better angle to be in the way. stop f***ing doing that.
