GDT [RS] (#30) Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights — We Are Become Death

[RichieNextel305]

Did Brossoit move once during that shootout? Asking for a friend.

Missed the net, shot right in the glove, and then shot right into the stick. He could have taken his equipment off to make all 3 saves.

Mika needs to go back to his back hand move, he hasn’t used that in forever. He’s so predictable in shootouts now. High glove, it’s all he does.

[Parsley]

Lucky to get 3 points in the past 2 games. Where’s the offense on this team?

Georgiev actually had to make some really good saves. Brossoit just had to stand still.

Guy was 1-4 in shootouts....how do you just shoot it into him with all 3 attempts?

[Parsley]

Shootouts suck. I turned it off as usual after the OT. game is over at that point.

Panarin hurt and a 1OA MIA.

Yeah. You can question the picks for the shootout, but you have to challenge the goalie on your shots there.

Had all of 1 shot for most of the 3rd. Simply cannot be that indifferent to trying to score like that. 

[Sharpshooter]

Lafreniere would've dumped it in the shootout attempt. Actually, might've had a better chance scoring than Zibanejad.

Can you? Who else was gonna go? Loaf? Chytil, maybe?

[The Dude]

Just now, Sharpshooter said:

Even give Lafreniere a shot.

The guys with the moves in the lineup tonight are Kakko, Zibanejad, Fox, Chytil, Gauthier.  I mean you can even go with Kreider because he's red hot.

 

Ah well. Shouldn't have gone to OT to begin with. They were exhausted

Chytil... come onnn. Big play though. Think you gotta get him in your first 3 shooters here 

Worthless player no matter where you play him in the lineup.

VGK played in NJ last night, so that's bullshit.

Sure. Fox, even Gauthier

Right. They could definitely use the break.

Just knew when they were hitting posts in the second after taking the lead it’d come back to haunt them. This team struggles to take control of games. 

[Sharpshooter]

Vegas played last night, but wasn't this the 7th game in 10 or 11 nights for the Rangers? Whatever it was, it's a lot.

[josh]

Gauthier has one move.

[josh]

A few blatantly missed calls change the game.

Rangers decided not to play in the third and it cost them

[Sharpshooter]

The Rangers basically played one period and the one wacky overtime, and that was about it.

[Parsley]

I hate that I personally am so aggravated by a first place team. Why am I not enjoying this more? Maybe this comes with old age?

[Scott]

Loaf no shots in over 15 min of ice time. Bet he blew out two diapers while gasping for air after diving and breaking up that one play on D. Did he keep his head down on the bench the rest of the night

But they were (tired). They had no legs in the 3rd. Happens. 

This should expose the false thoughts that the Rangers don't need more scoring help. You take Panarin away and they are pretty easy to contain. 

I think they had 2- 3 shots on goal in the 3rd.  

No matter what. Hunts gotta get out of the top 6. Fuck it. Top 9. ...NY... Earth.. 

[josh]

Lafreniere had a decent game. He made good plays all over the ice. Had some great set ups, several good defensive plays. 

This isn't said about many 10 yo players.

He had some scoring chances as well.

If the team needs to rely on a 20 yo "AHLer", then that's a different issue.

This wasn't Lafreniere.  He was one of the few skating. As a team, they didn't show up for 60 minutes. Same story.

Yet, got a point out of this.  I don't know how they are doing it.

Over/under 1.8 positive covid tests for the VGK tomorrow?
