GDT: Rangers @ Islanders - "Who Wants To Lose More?" Edition - 4/5/18 - 7pm ET

[Mac n Gs]

Just lose this game and get closer to ending this miserable f***ing season.

 

[eco's bones]

Go Barzal. Show us what you got. Go out with a bang Tavares--here's to an unforgettable game.

For those who need reminding if the Rangers win tonight the Islanders will finish at least one spot ahead of us in draft placement with a somewhat better chance of winning the lottery. We don't really want or need to win this game. The Isles have had plenty of chances in the past to draft early--even to draft first overall. We never have--ever. It should be our turn now.

 

[eco's bones]

Guarantee Pavelec a one year deal if he loses tonight.

 

[Don Chytil]

Isn't there another good player who spells it that way? Can't remember who.

Mathew Bodie, obviously

You're probably thinking of Mathew Dumba

 

[CasusBelli]

Not even Larry David would put Andersson on the fourth line. Maybe LD would put Richard Lewis in his place (and move LA to the third line), with which I’d be fine, since the locker room could probably use a few yucks right now.

I'd like to see:

Kreider - Mika - Buch
Andersson - Chytil - Vlad
Spooner - Hayes - Zucc

 

[Bob Richards]

We have beaten the Islanders once since our President's Trophy season.

 

[Leonardo87]

I am in awe right now, I just got a post liked by @MattBarzal himself.

Auston Mathews?

 

[EpicDing]

Lol at rooting for the Islanders. f*** that noise, I can never root for them against the Rangers. Don't care that we can pass them, rooting for the Isles againat the Rangers is a no go for me.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Guarantee Pavelec a one year deal if he loses tonight.

Naw georgiev needs to backup next yr

 

[eco's bones]

I agree with you on Georgiev....but you can still play Pavelec in Hartford.

 

[aufheben]

This is a win-win situation for us. If we win, we beat the fishsticks which is always good. If we lose, our draft position gets better. So there, I'll hope for a win but won't be as upset if we lose.

I’ll be honest, I will get absolutely zero satisfaction from winning this game. The Isles are annoying but they’re too dumb a franchise for me to hate.

Well said

We lose and slip into the much more statistically favourable top9, for the draft lottery.

We win and Tavares unconsciously adds an extra percent to his chances of signing with us.

What outweighs both though, is being between 120 and 130 minutes away from getting rid of this godforsaken system.

 

[Machinehead]

It would be nice to finally win here

Inb4 AV is still coach because we had a lot of injuries

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It can wait till next year.

 

[Machinehead]

It can wait till next year.

True.

If we lose tonight we get to reach for the projected 19th OA at 9th instead of 10th.

Also, Hank never had a Vezina-calibre season. How is any team supposed to have success under those circumstances?

 

[Harbour Dog]

True.

If we lose tonight we get to reach for the projected 19th OA at 9th instead of 10th.

I can't wait for the commentators on draft day to have to scramble to get information on a guy they weren't expecting to be picked so soon. Gets me every time.

When have they ever done that?

"Dylan Mick-ill-rath....I like this for the Rangers... I guess. Comparable to um... Jesper Fast?

 

[Machinehead]

When have they ever done that?

They've reached with every top 10 pick they've had in my lifetime.

Y'all rooting for the Islanders to win are gonna get your karmic justice. They'll end up passing us in the standings and winning the lottery.

You reap what you sow.
