GDT: The New York Going Down in Flames vs The Calgary Flames - 2/9/18 - 7pm ET

[Placid]

Of course, the guy scoring on us has played 74 NHL games, and this was his first goal

 

[DanielBrassard]

Get lost Dick, can we trade him already.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

holden taking smiths penalty minutes i see..i guess someone had to

 

[mike14]

Super lazy by Holden

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

What a pass from Hayes

 

[Nickmo82]

So Holden gets called for EXACTLY the same thing as the no call on Fast less than a minute ago. If anything it was less obvious than the no call. Nice job refs.

 

[Kakko]

Like 15 rookies on the team, and the "veterans" are sucking up a storm. Classic.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Good shot for that goal

Pavelec playing a shitty angle.

 

[Miamipuck]

Nice non call on the interference on Fast and there's the resulting goal.

then they call the same exact thing on Holden . wtf

sorry got bad dmen confused

 

[Tob]

Any of these kids are so much better than Holden! Management wants speed and skill but Vigneault still wants experience and grit.

If a NHL leading coach of the year Gerrard Gallant can be fired over philosophical difference, Vigneault's tenure needs to be evaluated based on compatibility for the future.

If would be a turd on a 3 layer cake if Vigneault is the man leading this rebuild.

 

[Stugots]

At this point I'm more surprised when guys DON'T score their first career goal against us.

 

[mike14]

Pavelec playing a ****ty angle.

Yeah he should have had it, but it was nice, hard, well directed shot

 

[mike14]

20 shots? Goddamn

 

[Fugazy]

Crazy to see that when you give young players a chance they can show you something. Must be killing AV.

 

[Nickmo82]

Pionk and Gilmour looked good.

Kampfer and Holden.... ehhhh...

Which players are debuting again?

 

[Irishguy42]

20 shots? Goddamn

I mean, we did have 3 PPs. Had about half our shots from that.

 

[Fugazy]

Big fan of Pionk and Gilmour. They looked very good.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Big fan of Pionk and Gilmour. They looked very good.

i was surprised when they were kept together as a pair but then when the game started i was a different kind of surprised they even had a shift or two against tougher opponents and played well

 

[mike14]

Even 10 shots right now would impress me

 

[Tob]

Maybe 1/2 season in the minors helped Tony D but he sure looks almost as good as Brady did last year. Staal, Holden, Kampfer, Smith are all below ADA in the depth chart.

Mismanagement of personnel lead this team to this tank job.

Doomed to fail because AV's reluctance to trust the youth.

It's infuriating... because it's very true.

 

[haohmaru]

If you would've told me in October that the Rangers starting D lineup in (almost) mid-February would be DeAngelo, Skjei, Pionk, Gilmour, Kampfer, & Holden I probably would've thrown up.

The fact that it's actually an improvement is even more of a plot twist.

 

[RangerLifer]

Our PP doesn't usually generate shots.

 

[Ori]

first goal of his NHL career, woah, oh well 1-1.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I mean, we did have 3 PPs. Had about half our shots from that.

Stil. This team was a previously putting up 2 shots per PP.
