GDT: #42 - 01/03/14 | New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins | 7:00 PM - MSG 2

[Pavel Buchnevich]

So, his sats for the last decade or so don't lie either? Which mean more?

Players his age usually start to decline.

 

[ViCiieux]

Hank sucks without overly large pads.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

sounds great. value in cally for moulson seems a little too much. moulson does everything he does and scores.

This is the kind of **** I don't understand.

Back before we traded for Nash a post like this would've been derided for how ridiculous it is.

Now, I bet half of this ****ing forum agrees.

 

[KasparsHipCheck]

Staal to carolina for semin?
DZ and pouliot to Columbus for Dubinsky and Tim Erixon
Brassard to Montreal for briere?
Callahan to buffalo for Matt moulson?

I think the values there for every scenario... Thoughts people?

Brassard for Briere that is an ugly idea. Same level player but much older. If we were to work a trade with the Habs I'd love to see a big deal for Gallagher, Galchenyuk, or Eller.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Duguay just nailed it. Go out and play at least like you care

 

[RangersHank*]

Funny. Since we don't block shots it really exposes Henrik

Letting guys shoot from 5 feet out and sit in the crease doesnt help either

 

[slipknottin]

Hank sucks without overly large pads.

Except his glove is terrible now

 

[JCrusher*]

Nash is starting to remind me of Lindros when we acquired him. Although Lindros was the better player, both had concussions and both seemed affected by them the rest of the way. nash clearly is uncomfortable with being hit and even his shot looks weak

 

[North Star]

I'm done with AV and these mercenaries (namely Nash and Moore) who never match the intensity of the guys they replaced (Dubinsky, Anisimov, Prust).

Intensity is key, and thats why I also miss Torts allthough a lot of things..

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Dugay on MSG is right.He said NYR have to show some emotion. Show that you care.

 

[Callagraves]

The fact that Tortorella was demonized while we were a solid playoff team and yet AV feeling zero heat just goes to show how insane popular opinion tends to be.

He's neutered, eviscerated, and deconstructed everything I liked about the New York Rangers. There's no hard work, there's no "Us Against the World" attitiude. There's no accountability, or players who look like they're giving every drop of sweat and blood they have because they know if they give anything less they WILL NOT PLAY.

And yet, that's not even the worst of what he's done. His crackhead defensive system has sabotaged what was touted as one of the best D corps in the entire league, but has managed to put a crack in the confidence in what is not only our franchise player, but one of the best goaltenders in the world; a potential hall of famer.

But he keeps his head down. He coddles his stars. He gives bland interviews. He gets forgotten. He makes sure he's not seen as the X factor.

But our powerplay scores every now and then, so good for him.

If we're not winning games, who gives a ****.

Nash never had a good shot

 

[nevesis]

And lol at 'conference finals', with how bad gaborik was in the playoffs that year

5 goals and 6 assists in 20 games with a torn labrum in his shoulder the ENTIRE run. Yeah…LOL at that.

 

[Boruto]

This game is truly a top to bottom bad game. Defense from forwards, offense from forwards, defense of defensemen, offense from defensemen, positioning by the goaltender, anything from the goaltender.

 

[JCrusher*]

Nash never had a good shot

I never said he did i menat "every" shot he puts on net

Why don't we start with AV?

 

[ImIdaho]

Dugay on MSG is right.He said NYR have to show some emotion. Show that you care.

The only way they'll start caring is when 1 or 2 of them get traded.

That Club Med mentality probably came seeping back into these guys.

 

[Kakko]

Who's put up those kind of #'s recently?...not to mention on a consistent season by season basis, not a one year wonder?

Jagr, Thornton and Crosby beat it

Thornton, Crosby, Ovechkin and Malkin have been close many times

Great post. AV has been the definition of a chump

 

[The Gloaming]

Nash never had a good shot

Yeah but now it looks like Taylor Pyatt's shot.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

This team just doesn't put an effort in every night, simple as that. They didn't do it with Torts last year and don't do it now. That to me is shows a problem with the players, the locker room. Why can't they get up for every game? Is it really necessary for a captain or coach to tell grown men to play the game hard everynight?

 

[DoTheBlue]

Time for GDT part 2 otherwise the world will end

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Sorry I did not see your comment. I guess we agree

lol at a team accomplishment defining an individual player

That's a start. Continue with Nash, Richie and Hank. Need some magic to get rid of these 3
