GDT: Game 76: New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils, 7pm ET (Game is on TNT or Max)

[Machinehead]

You're drawing that conclusion from the fact that Trouba averages 6 extra seconds on ice at even strength?

Yes.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Cuylle needs to sit after the brutal turnover on Monday.

That methodology of scratching and benching and demoting young forwards after every mistake has worked wonders for the Rangers and their 1 Cup in 80+ years.

Lav is really going to go limping into the playoffs with Brodzinski in the top 9. And then we'll wonder why we're out in the 1st round when our 3rd line gets caved every shift.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Even the casuals are noticing how bad Trouba has been...

 

[GENESISPuck94]

When the Rangers were actually playing well, they had Cuylle and Rempe in. Big, strong players on the forecheck.

Why are Rangers coaches always afraid to do the logical thing to win.

It shouldn't be close, let alone Trouba in front

Fans can tell Brodzinski is a minor leaguer, somehow he is on the Rangers. Shows the lack of young depth that is close to NHL ready, this organization has. No reason why Edstrom cant be in Brodzinski’s spot right now. Better skating, size and 2 way play, younger. They need to stop catering towards the vets especially AHL vets

 

[Machinehead]

Assuming I'm just not going to die on the hill of Goodrow, and we have 13 NHL forwards that we went to get in, I'm fine with that, and I'm fine with rotating Brodzinski and Rempe.

I'm not sure what Cuylle did to get thrown into that rotation.

Brodz isn't the issue. Dropping Cuylle to the 4th/breaking up Cuylle Wenn Kakko and the untouchable status of Goodrow and Vesey are imo

Vesey is on a cold streak and Goodrow is another Bonino

Imagine if a tough guy on another team looked like Rempe in the picture at the top of the thread. The goofing on him and insults would be flying here.

That Jones is taking a seat after the way he's been playing is absurd.

Jones is better than Gustafsson right now especially in the last few months.

Jones is better than Gustafsson right now especially in the last few months.

He's also been better than Trouba, Miller, and Lindgren.

Rangers management tells the coach who to play based on their contract or if they are washed up like Goodrow

I don't believe that.

 

[BBKers]

I do prefer Cuylle over Brodzinski but man that was a bad giveaway. Kid needs to sit. Also - season might be getting long for a freshman. Goodrow otoh should sit to be fresh for POs. Call up the other twin tower, he showed he was a low-risk gamer I thought.

Maybe it's actually time for Kakko to start PKing?

 

[bl02]

I will coach the benefit of the doubt for Cuylle but he better be on the third line come game 1 of the playoffs.
Maybe he is just giving him a breather here and there since Cuylle maybe physically is a bit tired from busting his ass every game since September?
Still tho when he's in the lineup he needs to be with line 3

Lavi needing to justify keeping Goodrow in the lineup.

I’m not even kidding. The second we had an actual matchup line he broke it up. Can’t allow him to run out of excuses to play his favorite trusty vets!

I got two:

1. Technically I live closer to MSG than Prudential Center

2. If I was a Devils fan it would increase their fan base total by 1,435,776% and might throw the entire ecosystem in chaos.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

It was time in his rookie season.

 

[GAGLine]

Since the game is on TNT/MAX, does that automatically mean those of us who watch via an ESPN+ subscription will experience the 24 hour blackout?

It's exclusive to TNT/MAX, so ESPN+ won't have it at all, regardless of what region you live in.

According to Google Maps, I'm 24 miles from Prudential Center and 25 miles from MSG.

When I got into hockey, the devils didn't exist, thankfully. A few years later and might be a debbie fan right now. Scary to think about.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Do we have confirmation Rempe is playing?

I’ll be there and some fireworks would be exciting, assuming it doesn’t it get too out of hand lol.

 

[hardnosed]

I agree. And when the coaches opted to use Jones and Chad instead of Gus on the PK, it told me all I needed to know. Jones is actually a better defender.
