GDT: SCQ #1 - 8/1/20 | RANGERS @ hurricanes | 12 PM - MSG, NBCSN

[Kovalev27]

Fox has been so bad I mean so so bad

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Panarin was a ghost this game

This is what I am disappointed in , he is supposed to be a superstar in this league .

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Lafreinere here we come!!

 

[LokiDog]

Best player on the ice today. Your timing is completely off.

My thoughts exactly. If this is the game that tells you Hank is no longer a starter, or Hank was the problem... you have an agenda.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

thats fine but the defense looks better with igor because he eliminates rebounds and defensive zone time

With the way the defense has played today, I don't think it would make any difference, the game would just be longer

 

[nyrleetch]

That wasn't even a deflection by Staal. A deflection implies it accidentally went off his skate. The mofo actually turned his skate to redirect it.

Best part about it, why did he turn his skate on net lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Staal needs to sit

 

[Siddi]

Yeah but you can see the defense playing scared on their end trying to keep everything outside and hence turning the puck over so much. Hanks lack of stickhandling really kills him with this shitty defense we have.

Swing & miss again.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

This team plays HORRIBLE in front of Lundqvist. We need to hope that Igor is alright to play monday or this is gonna be a short series

 

[Kupo]

Kakko’s play has made my penis tingle.

 

[LokiDog]

This is what I am disappointed in , he is supposed to be a superstar in this league .

He is. It’s called one game. After a 5 month layoff. It’s not like we gambled on a Panarin with one season track record. He is a star. He’s rusty, and our guys conditioning is clearly worse than theirs. As a team. Conditioning could decide this series. Carolina looks like they started practicing a month before us.

 

[Machinehead]

Trouba throws the puck on net with nobody in front

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Well at least Kakko looks good. Only silver lining.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Every play dies on Troubas stick

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Chytil replacing Strome on that line

Interesting

 

[duhmetreE]

that Trouba shot made me laugh

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How many promising shifts have been ended by senseless shots by Trouba? I mean since he's been here.

 

[Mandar]

he's had nudes of Sather for years now.

You have zero credibility

 

[Raspewtin]

Trouba and Smith share the same braincell

 

[BroadwayStorm]

regardless of whether we win or lose, this is great for our young players. Wish Igor was in there for the experience. But hell for all we no we get bounced here early [likely] and then get lafreniere.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

It’s sad that an 18 year old rookie has left our Hart candidate in the dust tonight

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If Shesterkin is healthy to play, he’s in the net.

It also doesn’t matter if prime Hasek is in net next game if the team in front of the goaltender plays like they did today. They are done if they can’t find their offensive game.

This is basically it. And this team plays better in front of Shestyorkin. They are more structured, and his ability to play the puck makes it easier to relieve pressure on Carolina's forecheck.

Lundqvist has been stellar since the half-way mark of the 1st period, but having this defense just play with a different identity lowers our chances at winning. We simply play better with Shestyorkin in net, which sucks for Lundqvist

 

[17futurecap]

We are on to Monday.

 

[Cmox]

Kakko looks great

 

[LokiDog]

Best part about it, why did he turn his skate on net lol

Because, his bro wants Cup ring #2 and Marc is ready to assist.
