GDT: #81 - 04/07/16 | new york islanders @ NEW YORK RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

hahahahaha oh man.

If ANYONE took that idiotic penalty and royalty blew their assignment that Tanner Glass did they'd be HS'ed for the rest of the year. But this worthless plug is back in like nothing happened.

Accountability!!!!

His blown assignment on that first goal was worse than the major penalty. It was the perfect play to summarize what Tanner Glass has brought to the Rangers for the last 2 years.

Not just nothing, but he actively hurts the team and makes us worse.


Thanks Tanner.

Right thing, etc.

I want Pitt in the first round even if it's the harder match-up. I'd rather watch one good series against a rival than one mediocre one.

With McD most likely out for the first round, I'd rather play the team that we have a better chance against. And thats Florida.

 

[chosen]

I don't think I could hate Tanner Glass more. This is now 2 full seasons where he has been given a spot over far superior players.

This attitude makes no sense. Why get mad at the player. He doesn't make up the starting lineups and he isn't the GM. He's just trying to earn a living.

Now, if Glass weren't trying, it would be different. He tries. Just not that talented.

With a regulation loss tonight, the Rangers are the #1 wildcard, so I find it hard to believe if they lose it is highly unlikely.

I think it's much more unlikely that they can pass the Pens, who need 1 more point to clinch the #2 spot.

Actually, Pittsburgh doesn´t clinch the #2 spot with one point tonight. If Rangers win their last two games in Regular time or overtime, and Pittsburgh only gets one point in their last two, the Rangers will pass the Pens with one ROW.... Not that it´s very likely, but still a chance

Very much agree! Besides, Glass has NOT been the problem of this team after he came back from the AHL....

True. Good call.

 

[Inferno]

rangers should intentionally lose the next 2 games and go for the atlantic bracket. nothings a guarantee, but its a LOT easier road to the finals.

 

[Irishguy42]

Tonight, Pens clinch M2 with a win in any fashion against the Caps OR if they get one point against the Caps AND we lose to the Islanders in any way or beat them in a shootout.

Yep. Let's go Islanders??

(don't really feel confident against Pittsburgh, Washington or even Florida in the 1st round.)

And then Isles intentionally lose their last two games and get´s the WC spot.... I have a feeling that it is better to play two good games of hockey, bringing some confidence and momentun into the playoffs.

Bring on the pens

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

If we win we guarantee a 3rd straight year vs. the pens.

If that happens, so be it, my relationship has already survived the first two.

We can beat that team. They're not anything special.

they are...they are killing teams and they arent even close to being 100%. they are a very very very good team.

I think the Panthers are the more favorable matchup (not a pushover by any means though) but I do agree with this. Going into the playoffs on possibly a 4 game winning streak with players playing well and confidently is important.

 

[Salsa Shark]

If they're a very very very good team than the nyr are easily a very very good team.

 

[nevesis]

I will never root for my team to lose any game for any reason, especially against the Islanders. Let the chips fall where they may, if we want to be the best we will have to beat the best.

Lets go Rangers.

 

[rangers1314]

just a random question regarding the playoff matches, is there an update on Malkin/Matta?

Out at least next two weeks

The Penguins are an excellent team that are dominating despite having key injuries. With a healthy lineup, I don't hate our chances, but with the lineup we've got, it's a death sentence.

The Blackhawks lost 3 straight going into the playoffs last year and still won. I don't want to see a poor effort but I'd start calling up more AHL players for these last two games at least.

 

[McDonagh27]

they are...they are killing teams and they arent even close to being 100%. they are a very very very good team.

Good teams missing key players often perform very well despite these absences. Case in point, Rangers without McDonagh or Rangers without Lundqvist from years past. Teams know they have to play harder when missing key players.

Obviously isles fans want to play the panthers too, so not sure how I want this to play out. We could lose to the Rangers tonight and basically guarantee a matchup with Florida, or try to win tonight and be tied in points with the Rangers. By the time your game is over Saturday, we can essentially lay an egg Saturday night and Sunday if we chose. Will be interesting to see how it plays out

Pretty sure that if Rangers win tonight in regulation, it guarantees them facing the Pens.

let the loser bowl begin!

For the most part since his return, Glass has been a very serviceable player who will stand up for his teammates without thinking twice. People still complaining about him should get over it already.
