GDT: Sharks @ Rangers | 7:00 PM | MSG

[Richard Banger]

22-3 shots at home to a bottom feeder team with all of their best players injured is utterly inexcusable when you're a playoff run. People making excuses have no standards for an NHL team.

You never answered the question....

 

[GAGLine]

Carolina is down 1-0 after 1.

 

[Rempe73]

No just wanted to point out that he's not as amazing as certain poster prop him up to be.

A few defensive errors here and there don’t mean he isn’t amazing.

 

[Mandar]

Lol do you actually think that I think ADA even comes close to Gretzky? All I’m saying is that ADA is amazing, but he does make mistakes. ADA haters love to come out when he’s not playing perfect.

Anytime any players play like shit, they are called out for it....every player. But when this guy plays like horseshit, some won’t hear of it. I’ll give you credit at times (very rarely) when you don’t defend him....but others....

 

[NYR]

He is the GOAT. Even Gretzky made mistakes.

I don't recall #99 ever making mistakes until the very end of his career.
I will never understand how anyone can ever compare him to anyone else in the league..At any time.. Period.
He will never be duplicated nor replaced.
Very special player and best the ever was..

 

[The New Russian Five]

They're a professional NHL team stop making excuses for incompetence and failure.

They're also human, and their bodies wear down due to circumstances just like it does for anyone else. They're professionals but that doesn't mean they aren't immune to fatigue.

 

[Fitzy]

That we had the only powerplay in that period makes the shot differential look even worse.

I will say when he sucks or plays drunk. I do that from time to time. But I’m always going to have a bias. He’s my favorite player ever.

Teams play more intense games and with rest, few and far between in the playoffs. This is a playoff game for them.

I'm not one for playing favorites. If you play like shit I'm going to call you out. If you make a great play I'ma call you out. I can't stand when people fanboi the shit out of players.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

So because they played well last night I can't be embarrassed today?

You can do whatever the hell you want. I just think it's ridiculous to be so dramatic over a bad 20 minutes when they have played great the last 20 games. They are still playing an NHL team and they played a playoff type game last night and traveled. You can call that excuses, I call that reality. The players are human. I just don't think its such a big deal. I expected a let down game tonight. They got badly outplayed and the score is tied, they are not down 4-0.

I’m not comparing anyone to him. Just saying that even the best players in the world made mistakes.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I have to be honest, Igor was f***ing amazing that period but that only makes that goal he gave up bother me more. I'm being consistent, I'd say the same about Hank.

 

[will1066]

Did Pidto do a line before the 150? Asking for a friend.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is the new censor just putting an asterisk for one letter? I like it!

 

[Rempe73]

I have to be honest, Igor was f*cking amazing that period but that only makes that goal he gave up bother me more. I'm being consistent, I'd say the same about Hank.

Yupp. I thought Igor was the best goalie we had even before he got called up. But I said the same thing. Bad goal, especially against an older player with a mediocre shot.

 

[Maximus]

I dunno fellas...it could be worse.

We could easily be down 3 or 4-1. Instead we are tied and we can't play any worse.

Maybe because I've seen this movie before a thousand times with this team of ours, I don't get my panties all tied up in knots.

Here's a guarantee to those of y'all who are about to step over the ledge over a piss poor 20 minutes. WE WILL PLAY MUCH BETTER in the 2nd period.

Now y'all should feel relieved and we can move on...lol

 

[Lua]

Canes down 1 after the first, and the CBJ puck should be dropping in 10 minutes. Big potential swing night tonight

 

[howztheglass]

Time to flip the scrip.

Rangers were most likely looking head to the Isle game and thinking the Sharks would just roll over.

Doubt it was the deadline cuz the whole team minus Shesterkin spit the bit.

DQ better have ripped into them—they come out flat again it’s a disgrace.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Is the new censor just putting an asterisk for one letter? I like it!

For certain words like f***, yes. For others, such as shit, no filter at all.

Just gotta win this game, IDGAF if we do it 2-1 in a so or get a lucky call late that f***s the sharks, just give me 2 points

 

[Mandar]

A few defensive errors here and there don’t mean he isn’t amazing.

Problem is that he made two extremely awful offensive errors in that period (one which lead directly to the bad goal). This supposedly elite offensive player can’t make those bad errors. He isn’t even trying to shoot from the slot?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Good news for our playoff hopes.. Svech is very likely getting suspended

 

[SnowblindNYR]

For certain words like f*ck, yes. For others, such as shit, no filter at all.

Wow, we're finally moving into the year 2020, hell yeah!

 

[duhmetreE]

That was brutal. Going to to be hard to get in to the post-season if they can't get points from games like this. Lucky to be tied at 1.

It's a 'trap game' after an emotional win.

They should pick it up this period
