GDT: #78 - 04/02/16 | buffalo sabres @ NEW YORK RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Kane One]

The captain gets to choose

Thanks. I can't think of any time off the top of my head where a team got a full 5 on 3.

 

[Loff]

THREE TIMES they pass back to the goalie. Against the ****ing Sabres. Go score you're not ****ing Barcelona.

I know.

Buffalo is.

 

[bl02]

Sad sad sad 5 on 3

 

[Stugots]

That was straight garbage.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Why wasn't Nash out on that 5 on 3?

 

[bigbluebird]

This team...

 

[GraveyTrain9]

Why wasn't Nash out on that 5 on 3?

Because Vigneault

 

[chosen]

At least the refs did their part to help out.

 

[Ranger Wolf]

This team is hard to like when they don't play hard. That never happened under Torts.

 

[SA16]

THREE TIMES they pass back to the goalie. Against the ****ing Sabres. Go score you're not ****ing Barcelona.

What's wrong with passing back to the goalie in that spot? Better than just giving it to the other team or turning around and icing it. Underrated and underused play to keep possession during changes.

 

[Svenhart2008]

no Nash or E.Staal on that 5-on-3. AV should be ****-canned....

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Why wasn't Nash out on that 5 on 3?

Nash just doesn't play in big situations anymore. Didnt he like not play the last 5 minutes of the canes game for no reason?

 

[aufheben]

I know. Buffalo is.

Yeah and the Rangers are Norwich City right now

 

[Boruto]

These coaches are horrible. Two full minutes with the same tired unit on the ice? You have two good PP units with skilled players and you play a tired bunch for two full minutes? Fatigue obviously a factor when Brassard fanned on the shot.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Someone page Rick Nash.

 

[Irishguy42]

no Nash or E.Staal on that 5-on-3. AV should be ****-canned....

I mean, Staal did just go off the ice because of a shoulder issue...

 

[GregNYR89]

We have to wait till it's 30 seconds remaining in the game. Rangers have a tendency to only play hard for 30 seconds

yea i don't see how thats a problem, we kept possession. no way anyones passing back to Hank tho, they all know handling the puck is bad new with him.

 

[mike14]

Zucc has been invisible this game outside of a fortuitous tip

[nevesis]

They're still trying to make the perfect play. Keep it simple and get shots on goal.

 

[SA16]

That was Sam making things up. He was out on the 2nd to last shift with like 20 seconds left.

 

[Stugots]

Yeah and the Rangers are Norwich City right now

Norwich at least was able to get a win today

 

[sark76]

Pissed away the easy wins...now they make it tough on themselves...playing teams fighting for a playoff spot. Hey, maybe thats what they need...but everything aside....I'd start Raanta next game...fair or not, the team as a whole just seems to be playing better under him right now.

 

[Boruto]

oh great, what about our timeout for the 5 on 3?
