gdt: [RS] (#3) Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils // Devils May Cry

David Quinn must be so proud of himself, making his point with Tony D'Angelo so Jack Johnson could fuck up the delayed penalty , miss the net on point shots, and act like a stationary road cone in the D zone. He made his point though, what ever the fuck it was. Sadly the Rangers were playing a real NHL team rather than Umass/Lowell or Merrimack. But the coach made his point. Good for him.

What's Gerard Gallant up to these days?

If you're going to lose - which they are - lose with the best players on the ice. Give the skill guys time to make shit happen.

So are we looking at a throw away year?

He had his beef with ADA? So what? So you can put an excuse of a d-man in Johnson on the ice to stink up the joint?

After 3 games? You better believe it.

Maybe we are overreacting after 3 games with no real training camp?

Wouldn't that be nice?

Did the Devils have a training camp

Sure that excuse will be trotted out. But no team had a regular camp. Even the non tournament teams had only a couple more days.

Could be, but it's a question of preparedness, and like I mentioned earlier, I don't think Quinn has this team prepared on a given night.

I didn?t think they looked any better

I think you're right on

Devils gave up 50 shots man. You want that instead? It would have been 7-3

Both teams were looking to give each other the game.

Maybe they're putting too much pressure on themselves playing in front of their home fans

I?m not comparing to all the teams, rebuilding teams need more time

I don't buy this. It's not Peewees. If the players aren't ready to actually play the game they're paid millions of dollars to play, that's on them.

 

the gripe with DQ is his usage of personnel, which is more or less a shit against the wall kind of situation.

The players have to do a lot better, and for some of them, the money could get to your heads because when you have a large AAV, you can be less motivated because you'll be there just to collect a paycheck (but each player is different).

nobody under 37 is there "just to collect a paycheck" - and I actually don't think any hockey players in the league have this attitude.

If you watched this game and thought Jack Johnson is the teams biggest problem... My Lord you need to pay better attention.

 

Geogiev awful

Trouba awful

Lindgren awful

Kreider snakebit

Lafreniere hasn't touched the puck all season

Kakko, somehow more invisible than Lafreniere, on the PP on the final minutes

PDG who the fuck is this ECHLer and what's he doing in the NHL?

Strome has a 1:1 ratio of good to bad plays.

 

This team has much bigger problems than Jack Johnson.

 

I understand though, whippin boys gotta get whipped.

 

BTW, right now Fox is by far the best all around D on the team. So we'll see what ADA does with 3rd pair minutes and PP2 time.

The core of this Rangers team has had enough continuity that I don't buy the training camp excuse. The point wasn't that the Devils were great, and let's not pretend the Rangers without a training camp are playing against other teams that had one.

Lemieux could have sent Kakko in on a breakaway with 1 min left but carried the puck through the NZ

Would you give Kakko the puck right now?
