GDT: Game 6: New York Rangers Vs Pittsburgh 24th Jan 7pm EST

[Andy99]

Do we just try to either shoot off the rush when the goalie can see it coming for miles or just try to bounce it off a body in front...can any f**ker on this team slow things down and set up a nice play?

 

[KIRK]

Anyone who thinks JR is going to be able to move the Matheson contact without adding significant assets is out to lunch.

Oh we know. We assume that's why JR hasn't traded his 2022 1st yet.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Idk why the Penguins stand like 80 feet away from Ceci and give him no support there.

Sullivan's current breakout system looks oddly familiar to the Dan Bylsma "hope for stretch passes" system.

Its not supposed to be but a lot of not supposed to be things are happening in this weird season

 

[canadianguy77]

10% of the season is gone and Sidney Crosby has yet to get a 5v5 point and the coach is okay with that. Unbelievable.

 

[K Fleur]

Took Quinn 4 games to bench JJ. It took Sullivan like 83

 

[SomeDude]

Sullivan somehow took a team that was looking like complete garbage and made them worse by moving the lines around. It is actually impressive if you look at it objectively.​

 

[KIRK]

You can shut the f*** up too.

 

[Woodrow]

Why doesn't this team know how to pass?

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

You expect anything else from Sullivan when it comes time to 'mix it up'?

No, but it would be nice to

 

[Pancakes]

He's only played against the Rangers otherwise, yes?

EDIT: Dumo and Malkin with pretty fugly passes this shift.

That's correct. One vs Flyers and one vs Rags so far.

He looks fine to me though. Certainly not JJ levels of bad.

It's infuriating and indefensible, but I wouldn't say it's unbelievable.

 

[Gurglesons]

Why doesn't this team know how to pass?

They do, they just are like throwing passes to no one for some reason.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

This has been a solid shift, at least.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Sullivan is going to try every single godforsaken possible combo before he puts Kapanen on the 1st line out of pure spite, isn't he?

Hes just building his minutes, it’s a fitness thing. The plan is for him to move up.

I feel like what makes this even worse is that the Penguins were way better on LD when they kept playing Johnson than the Rangers are now.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's infuriating and indefensible, but I wouldn't say it's unbelievable.

Imagine if we had Phil Kessel, Patric Hornqvist or Daniel Sprong with him.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

1st line got a shot!

That'll buy 'em another game.

 

[KIRK]

That's correct. One vs Flyers and one vs Rags so far.

Really not setting the bar high there . . .

 

[Gurglesons]

No interference there eh refs?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Same darn play, turn around and give it to the point. How about trying something new?

 

[canadianguy77]

Hes just building his minutes, it’s a fitness thing. The plan is for him to move up.

It’s not like he joined the team halfway through the season. They only played 3 games.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Lotdt, Jarrs

[Gurglesons]

Also just six rangers on the ice. Wtf?

 

[Andy99]

Jarry!
