gdt: [RS] (#30) Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning // Hello Darkness, Our Old Friends

[Dunny]

Nah Pionk legit. Our best D.

 

I'm a little worried that Quinn may actually believe that

[Dunny]

On the bright side, this game should finally close the Fogarty chapter.

Guaranteed he does.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Hanging on by our jockstraps at the end of that period.

[josh]

Didn’t chase as much that period,

 

Just stood there and watched

We might see 13 forwards and 5 d

[Fatfrancesa]

No, it was a fucking joke. Settle down and relax.

 

Cooler than you dude

[RodrigueGabriel]

Starting to remind me of the last Caps game.

[Phil]

If this game is a barometer for how far the Rangers have to go to build a contender, buckle up, boys. It's gonna be years.

[josh]

And can we get the d to stop with all the snow angels?? Every play someone’s down on the ice doing one. That’s not defense

They always suck in Florida in December. Surprised they got 2 points with a chance for more.

 

But yeah, a ways to go. TB is skating with a purpose. Rangers are chasing the play.

What I mean is, if Tampa is the gold standard for what a contender looks like (they are), the Rangers are roughly six defenders, one franchise forward, and two high-scoring top-six forwards away from being even remotely close to their template. That's what, four, five years of work?

Probably I would say the missing pieces you call out is pretty accurate along with the timeline and cross your fingers on a goalie by then.

 

Cue the Pionk fan club.

Hughes, Panarin, Kravtsov and a bunch of D we just drafted

*shakes wand*

[4EverRangerFrank]

Kreider playing tonight? We could use his speed.

 

Asking for a friend.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Just as I post that he rushes in and shoots.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Desperately need a shorty right now.

[Dunny]

Competent officiating is at an absolute premium

[josh]

Kreider playing tonight? We could use his speed.

 

Asking for a friend.

 

No. His schedule is on one, off 2.

 

A few important forwards are invisible tonight, and too often

[Pete]

On the bright side, this game should finally close the Fogarty chapter.

As he's sadly the most visible forward not named Hayes.

[ausman]

Guess the refs just missed that TB crosscheck in front of the goal, eh?

[Scott]

Sam just blew his load screaming "it's gonna be an icing". Alrighty then.

[josh]

As he's sadly the most visible forward not named Hayes.

 

Chytil. Vesey in the first period.

[Dunny]

Actually Joe, he was beat clean again
