GDT: Game 80: New York Rangers vs Philadelphia Flyers , 7pm ET, MSG

[Filip Chytil]

Rangers look about as lively as OJ Simpson

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This team has as many wins in a season as any in franchise history, so it's a particularly distressing sign that this is how they get up for a game like this. This has not been competitive from the word go.

 

[CasusBelli]

This is what the playoffs is going to look like. But with more panic from our guys carrying the puck.

That fourth line should be Edstrom - Goodrow - Rempe for the playoffs. They’re supposed to wear down the opponents. Right now we don’t have a proper checking / grinding line.

 

[Kovalev27]

Not a single adjustment all night. Not a single adjustment over these two games. That’s troubling from this coaching staff

 

[Machinehead]

We better hope Igor stays healthy because even though Quick has been good for most of this year he has not been good his last few games.

You're being nice.

He's a nice man but he's an automatic 4 since like mid-Feb.

 

[SML2]

Noah Cates. We got scored on by a guy who sounds like a f***ing build-a-bear.

 

[Atax]

Ah good ole Joe giving so much credit to the other team. Instead of saying we stunk.

 

[GG96]

Good thing we have Brodzinski in. Wouldn’t want to be too excited for the game. Have to save the emotion

 

[Filip Chytil]

Where is lindgren going? What a terrible player

Trocheck looked confused too

 

[NYRangers16]

Drury with a horrible trade deadline. These guys suck

I've warmed up to Wennberg though, especially since it seems it has freed Zibby from defensive assignments and the results show. But the rest of the deadline is meh.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'd really like for the guys to match the desperation of their opposition the last two games. I feel the East and the division slipping away

 

[SickNice]

Our matchup will be Pitt, and their going to slaughter us.

It's gonna be TB, but yes we're going to get slaughtered

 

[CasusBelli]

We're 2-1 and outplayed them by a lot in both wins. This fanbase is really soft sometimes, I'm sorry.

The playoffs won't be easy. Put your adult pants on and get ready.

They certainly won’t be, and Tampa usually gives us headaches, but Sergachev is injured (still, I’m guessing), Stamkos is yet another year older, and Hedman is no longer the best defenseman in the league. We have a very real shot.

Against Florida, Islanders, Toronto, Los Angeles, Colorado? Unclear.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Haven’t we beaten them every game this season?

I thought we lost the last game we played vs them

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Wtf is going on

Slipping? It's slipped.

The lack of urgency is appalling.

 

[CasusBelli]

Rangers look about as lively as OJ Simpson

Cue Quick glove joke here.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

So many years of a country club mentality in this franchise. For most of its existence it has been a millionaires boys club with guys more interested in Manhattan night life than winning a cup and giving a shit about the Ranger shield. I have seen it my entire f***ing life save for one season. We never get lucky. We never get breaks. But most of all we rarely get guys who sweat for this team. Who hurt when we lose. Who represent New York City. A city of f***ing warriors. Instead we get all these mid effort weakminded f***ing pansy candy asses year after year after f***ing year. I AM SO f***ING SICK OF IT.

 

[NYRangers16]

You're being nice.

He's a nice man but he's an automatic 4 since like mid-Feb.

Really? What stats are you looking at?

 

[LottieDottie]

Not a single adjustment all night. Not a single adjustment over these two games. That’s troubling from this coaching staff

this is what i am most angry at right now.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Feels to me like the players want a game off. Sigh. Bad time to be playing down to opponents.

Playing every other day for a month will do that. Wonky schedule this year

 

[GG96]

Can’t have Rempe in. Only 12-2-1 with him. 5-5 without. Did you know that they beat Coyotes in October without him?

You know nothing

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Coach’s fault for not playing Rempe after that last game

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Wtf is going on

We are seeing a Power Point presentation on what this team's leadership group does for a living.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Just forfeit the next two games.

I'd sit out the Bread line so they could get some rest and get them ready for the playoffs.
