GDT: NYRCAR, 7PM, Lack of wins over the Rangers is killing us

[MinJaBen]

Why do I even watch games against the Rangers?

Why do I attend their home games in Raleigh?

 

[Canes]

Why do I attend their home games in Raleigh?

The answer is that we are masochists

 

[HisIceness]

The good news is we are done with the Rangers after this year (in all likilhood)

The bad news is they are going to get better from here. It would be one thing if this was against a Western opponent. This team is in the same damn division. Gotta start beating this team if they want to be the playoff team they were last year.

At least the Friday Night Live Music is pretty decent tonight. Jukebox Rehab. Makes me want to hit The Pour House afterwards for some good tunes like the old days.

 

[Merrrlin]

Would Bogosian be an option as a #7 to bring some meanness?

 

[Stickpucker]

There's a better chance of me winning the lottery and retiring to the Cayman Islands than Staal playing like that in 2020.

Why can't Rod see this?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Watch us start owning the Rangers once they become a good team.

Yeah, that sounded crazy when I typed it.

 

[SliceNDice92]

No sense wasting assets on any short term shit with this group.

I wish we would’ve gave Goat the chance instead of Dzingle tbh. Have an extra forward to push people to keep their spot in the lineup. They just look complacent.

 

[Canes]

Would Bogosian be an option as a #7 to bring some meanness?

He has all the same problems Edmundson has and both don't really want to play that type of game anymore.

 

[MinJaBen]

At this point, I wouldn’t be too upset if not we and the Leafs miss. Two shots at the Russian goalie phenom wouldn’t hurt.

And someone please tie Petr to the net....

Hey if we could beat them in a playoff series they can have all these wins.

I mean, Washington straight up owned us for 10 years after they knocked us out of the playoff spot on the last regular season and we took them down last Spring. Made me forget all about 2008 and all those other painful losses.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That’s what kills me. How the hell can a team coached by Rod look this complacent and flat?

So another decade of futility and then a playoff series. Let us not. Just win and get in

 

[MinJaBen]

Because he allows them by playing his favorites too much.

Most of Waddell's deals this offseason I wish we could go back and undo right now tbh

 

[DaveG]

Yep. And some teams do it and you can see the intimidation. Teams like the Caps and TB are really good at blowing up people 3 seconds after the puck is gone. The trick seems to do it into the boards and not in open ice because then the optics are somehow better to the refs.

Really want to see some of that from Staal and McGinn.

Foegele and Ol man Williams do it much more. Pretty sad when 38 year old Williams is more physical than your 6'4" captain.

One of the reasons I can't wait for Rees to get here. Give him a chance and he'll blow a mother f***er up. He's like a damn honey badger he don't give a shit.

 

[VAcaniac]

Canes have come out flying after some intermissions when they want to. Hopefully they can do it again

 

[Tryamw]

One of the reasons I can't wait for Rees to get here. Give him a chance and he'll blow a mother f*cker up. He's like a damn honey badger he don't give a shit.

Hence his multiple suspensions

 

[Wolfpuck]

4-1

Panarin left all alone

 

[Tryamw]

4 -1

I know he's injury prone and out now for the Hawks, but I'd much rather have Calvin de Haan back over Gardiner.

 

[hurricure]

f*** it... I’m going to the smokies game, gotta make those saves

 

[Svechhammer]

Mrazek 1v1 just gets abused every time

 

[GoldiFox]

g ****ing g

 

[HisIceness]

f*** this shit. I'm going to watch more Wife Swap
