GDT: Rangers vs Kitty Cats - "Goalies With 'Lu' In Their Names" Edition -3/10/18 - 7pm ET

That guy is my spirit animal

I was kind of thinking that the alternative is that once Spoonman plays on the PA, the spotlights catch Spooner as he rides a cage down from the rafters, and he then fights Hadfield a la "Hell in a Cell" at center ice.

Spooner would never wake up.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

I can picture it now.

During the Vic Hadfield jersey retirement ceremony next year, it'll go on as normal. And then, they start playing Spoonman on the PA, and Spooner jumps over the boards and hip checks Vic off the podium, then skates over to the banner and tears it down.

Hayes then skates out wearing Spooner's banner as a cape. They fist bump mid ice.

The crowd goes wild.

Nice add with the cape

 

[Machinehead]

Spooner on the bench explaining to the boys how they get it done 3v5 if they're on the ice with the O'Gara pair.

Also, Buch is officially Nash-bitten.

 

[nevesis]

Buch. You had it.

 

[Irishguy42]

FWIW, NHL has the official assists as Gilmour and Spoons. Not Pionk.

 

[Placid]

argh Buch...

Puck was on edge so he didn't hit it cleanly.. that was an open net :/

 

[Machinehead]

Nice add with the cape

I agree. That was actually some rock solid booking.

 

[nyrage]

We're getting dangerously close to a point.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

That sequence of Name - Skjei - Buch was gorgeous.

If Buch nailed that, I'd want to see a gif of it over and over.

 

[Siddi]

That guy is my spirit animal

Wait, I thought that guy was you?!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

We're getting dangerously close to a point.

Hank is too grumpy to tank.

 

[nyrage]

Hank is too grumpy to tank.

Then double-shift O'Gara

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Then double-shift O'Gara

This is a guy that I don't get the hate for, either. He's a fine bottom-pairing defenseman. He's also dirt cheap.

 

[Machinehead]

Wait, I thought that guy was you?!

I was wondering about that myself

But I think I was too young, that thing is decades old already.

 

[chosen]

This is a guy that I don't get the hate for, either. He's a fine bottom-pairing defenseman. He's also dirt cheap.

Maybe if they play 5 pairs of defensemen.

 

[Machinehead]

Underrated save there. Could have been an ugly sequence but Hank earns the whistle.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Maybe if they play 5 pairs of defensemen.

Nah. He's decent. I don't mind someone like that if they are paired with a quicker defenseman as a partner.

 

[nyrage]

This is a guy that I don't get the hate for, either. He's a fine bottom-pairing defenseman. He's also dirt cheap.

Are you watching the game? He's constantly getting beat. He had that one slow guy take him to the outside and O'Gara made him look like McDavid.

 

[Tob]

This is a guy that I don't get the hate for, either. He's a fine bottom-pairing defenseman. He's also dirt cheap.

I think if we're rebuilding, I'd rather see a slew of defensemen capable of becoming a lot better getting minutes on the 3rd pair. Similar to a John Moore a few years ago. A couple of $1M reclamation projects would be nice.

 

[Placid]

Of course it just HAD to be Yandle making the defensive play...lol.. i feel like he is mocking us at this point

 

[GregSirico]

Staal made a play ... what's next? Locust?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Are you watching the game? He's constantly getting beat. He had that one slow guy take him to the outside and O'Gara made him look like McDavid.

Yeah, I've had the game on since the second period. I've ranted for ages that I think he's being used wrong when paired with a slow partner.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Staal made a play ... what's next? Locust?

Yeah, but he followed it up with icing the puck like a doofus.

 

[Mandar]

This is Buch's best game in quite some time
