RJWantsTheCup Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Should’ve traded Chytil after the hat trick against the Islanders in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 did not notice Baron at all. Why did i think he was a physical C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 A bit off topic, but anyone know what he's referring to? Nemeth has taken some time off for personal reasons this season, but any there any indications of it being anything really bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, but it is strange that he's taken off twice in a season for non-Covid or injury reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 are we supposed to think that he's actually a better player but been sucking because of the personal problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he plays a defensively responsible game but is more likely to lean on his opponents and use positioning to defend rather than going around blowing people up with big hits.

Lol, I was trying to answer your question as to why you thought he was a "physical C". He is definitely big though...6'4" 220lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's missed quite a bit of time, even got removed from the roster at one point. Not often you see someone step away for personal reasons let alone twice in a year. Hope he and his family are alright. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 9 hours ago, G1000 said: @The Dude gonna cream his shorts when he sees that first line. I honestly think it works pretty good. Gauthier hasn't been finishing, but the quality chances he gets, his ability to skate with the puck as well as be infront of the net is more than what Kakko and Hunt offer. I didn't think he'd mesh with the things I feel he brings to the table, but the line looked really good last game. The guy seriously needs a chance. He's been mostly 3rd and 4th line with those types of players. He's never really gotten this kind of opportunity and I hope it works out for him. He's not perfect, but he doesnt have to be. He just has to be better than Hunt and the current version of Kakko. Not that hard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 9 hours ago, Kevin said: I want to get an extended look at Barron in that role or 4th line center. Hopefully Chytil's day-to-day is really week-to-week. Or when he comes back it bounces Hunt back to dek hockey where he belongs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice defensive plays, couple hits, ability to carry the puck in hopes of developing a play, been winning at the dot. More than Chytil as a center. That's a step forward.

Sod16 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 People often talk about the lack of "flashes" or "tools" they see with Kakko and LaF. Well, the flashes and tools are evident with Goat, even if he's not getting results. One of Molly Walker's better articles was a survey of NHL people outside the Rangers' organization on what Goat needs to be an NHL player. Mostly, it was that due to lack of hands, he needs to orient himself to being a defensive forward. He could be a great defensive shadow on some opposition speed demon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we had another guy who, having no hands, learned to change his game a little bit, got a little older, found his hands, and is now the scoring leader to learn from?

Valriera Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Kreider was 2/17/16 in three of his first six, just over 20 in others. Not quite there but pretty close. Either way it’s easy to see the comparison of a young Gauthier here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 17 in 66 and 16 in 58 are both over 20 per 82 pace. Either way, yes. As a big power forward with blazing speed it's easy to see the comparison, but Gauthier at 24 is way behind where Kreider was at 22. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I'm not sure Gauthier could score on an empty net breakaway without knocking the net off first. He has zero scoring touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Kreider and Zib haven't had a RW who could keep up with them in transition. Goat can so I hope he plays a smarter game because he could be the answer they've been looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's not that great at it. The dude is the biggest fucking pussy, too. Gauthier's issues are lack of brains and balls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
