GDT: The Powerhouse at Buffalo | 2/15/19 - 7PM - MSG, NHLN

I love Skinner, and even though he’s a Ranger killer, I would like the Rangers to sign him in the offseason, if possible.

He’s gonna command 7.5-8 per . He does fit the need for sure.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Has Quinn improved Boo? He looks so much stronger on the puck and really moves well.

 

[effen]

Kreider has to shoot that there. There was room for a move to his forehand there. Can't give up an opportunity like that.

Nah. Passing was correct there.

 

[Rempe73]

Good pass Pionk

 

[egelband]

That's been the key with him. Is he willing to do what it takes night in, night out consistently? Hopefully its just part of the maturation process with him. He's made significant strides IMO, still trying to figure it out though.

Yep. He is not a small guy either. He really has all the tools. He just needs that lightbulb to go on and also he needs to start smiling a bit. I know it sounds silly but the best players play loose and enjoy what they’re doing. I’d say.

 

[Rempe73]

Yes. He grabbed the puck just below the point and backskated quickly away from the defender into open ice to keep a play alive. I said “a couple” but that’s the only one I remember but it was evidence that he has some upside. I know he makes a lot of bad decisions but I think (I hope) Quinn is addressing that part.

Yes indeed. I’m happy to hear. Pionk definitely has some good upside. Not great, but we don’t need him to be great. We got him for free.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Man outside of Eichel and Skinner Buffalos lineup is really underwhelming

Pot... meet kettle.

Sounds like a team out west I know

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Pot... meet kettle.

Yeah but they’re supposed to be breaking out by now , it they still suck

 

[effen]

I know boo-hoo they're winning and hUrTs tHe TaNK and all that but if Buffalo wants to give a 3/10 effort and Ullmark wants to give a -45/10 effort then the board should just enjoy a nice game.

Can't make the Sabres not suck.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yeah but they’re supposed to be breaking out by now , it they still suck

Fair enough.

Think about this for a second, they have both Eichel and Dahlin and they are still bad. We would kill for just one of those guys. It blows my mind how they are still not a playoff team.

 

[NYRKING30]

Yep. He is not a small guy either. He really has all the tools. He just needs that lightbulb to go on and also he needs to start smiling a bit. I know it sounds silly but the best players play loose and enjoy what they’re doing. I’d say.

He really isn't especially when he first got here he was kinda lanky almost like a toothpick. He has filled out more, you can tell he's stronger on the puck now. On your second point, that comes from being confident when the best guys play loose and just having fun from my view at least. I just think his personality is a bit different that's all.

 

[duhmetreE]

Who's this #17?

 

[justanomade]

Namestnikov needs to be more decisive in front of the net. Shoot more!

 

[Leonardo87]

Now I’m not making any suggestions, but it seems Namestnikov plays better after being hit in the head.

 

[Rempe73]

Some guys respond differently to different things. Do I think Howden should have been scratched on multiple occasions? Absolutely. But I'm also not going to lose my mind when DQ has scratched nearly every other player who deserved it on the roster. If anything, he's held more people accountable than any coach I've seen recently.

Yes, exactly. It’s a breath of fresh air. Isn’t this what we wanted?

 

[Black Aces]

Buffalo's lack of effort is astounding. Only topped recently by Anaheim.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I'm going to take some flack for this but I don't want to trade Vesey. I would look at resigning Vesey when his contract his up. On pace for 18 goals and 40 points. An ideal 3rd line guy.

 

[Lays]

Fast has been extra great today

 

[effen]

Buffalo's lack of effort is astounding. Only topped recently by Anaheim.

They're really not trying. Might as well win the game if they're gonna do that.

 

[bl02]

Buffalo's lack of effort is astounding. Only topped recently by Anaheim.

They did just beast one of the hottest teams in hockey so it’s a shame they are playing so blah but the Rangers have played a pretty good road game

 

[duhmetreE]

Buffalo's lack of effort is astounding. Only topped recently by Anaheim.

and Filip Chytil

 

[Rempe73]

Damn, I really wanted Pionk to get that one. He needs a confidence boost bad.

 

[duhmetreE]

beautiful play by Zucc

 

[effen]

14 more goals till that dude throws his pants on the ice.
