GDT [RS] (#21) Rangers vs Philadelphia Flyers — Gum Chewing Intensifies

[Sharpshooter]

Man, the Flyers are such a mess. You almost have to feel sorry for them at this point.....

[Albatrosss]

I dont get the AV hate. Coach took us to the finals, first in 20 years. What else could you ask for?

A cup win. Less gum chewing. A team that played with balls?

 

but yea no i mostly agree with this. he was a good coach here. 

[Sharpshooter]

Who abused gum the most, AV or Tom Renney?

Damn Fischler's not looking bad for 120. Probably in better shape than Lafreniere.

2 points in the bin. Kakko with a beast of a game. Kreider keeps scoring. Shesterkin is Russian for Gumbercules.

Name of your sex tape.

….and the winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to @Pete, who had to rushed to the ER after the game, and doused in an icy bath!!!

The initial reports indicate that Pete is going to be okay, and good to see the next game against the Sharks!

Great game, guys!!  Let's keep it rollin'!!!!

We really hope Pete pulls through in this hard time. 

[Slobberknocker]

they all don't have to look pretty but good to bank another 2 points versus a team that really has no mojo at the moment.  they have no confidence getting the pucks out of the zone and there gaps look terrible.  they are bottom in the league in giving up shots and prime scoring chances.  ton of injuries as well and a gm that really has no clue in what he said in that presser the other day.

was good to see how we came out after the layoff.  you so worry about the rust there and the taking for granted a struggling team.

this hunt kid continues to impress.  good to see kakko playing with confidence and like watching the kid line grow together.

some more winable games coming up as well.

the IGOR chants are becoming epic.

 

[Ozzy]

I'm really loving seeing this team play!  Fox is an absolute treat to watch, and Igor makes me think he's Hank 2.0 lately!

I think Gallant is the perfect guy at the perfect time for these kids to play under.  He's giving them his trust and belief, and they're gaining more and more confidence with each passing week.  To think what these kids are going to play like when they're a mere 24 years old, and have 5 years of experience under Gallant boggles my mind.

Sharks up next!!!  Let's fucking do this!!!

As great as Henrik was, I'm almost more impressed with Shesterkin just by his sheer ability to almost always be in position and is a total vacuum when it comes to rebounds. Then, you add his excellent punk handling, which is a dynamic they haven't had in a long time.

It’s different styles, but Igor is starting to give you a similar vibe Henrik did where he can make the impossible save almost seem routine. If he can remain healthy, you would have to say he’ll be a heavy favorite for the Vezina.

Yeah, I think he's the favorite right now already. They are so fortunate to have transitioned right into a goalie like Igor. There's potential here to have two fantastic goalies in a row. Both different, as you said, but with similar results.

lol I wasn't putting Hank down at all, or saying Shesterkin will have the same great career he did. It's just I'm even more impressed with certain aspects of his game even more so than Lundqvist.

I know im just messing with you. Hopefully Igor has a better career for everyones sake. 

[Ozzy]

What we really can use is a solid backup, so we don't burn this guy the hell out!

I'm sure Drury knows that and I'm positive Gallant does!  His avoidance of "Mr. Softy" says it all.

someone on the network said going from hank to igor was like the pack going from farve to rodgers.

Pretty close analogy!  Hank was pretty good handling the puck, but Shest-uper-man is like a 3rd defenseman....kinda reminds me of Hextall, without all the psychosis!  LOL

[Pete]

He's playing the best hockey of his Rangers career and it's awesome. 

[Cash or Czech]

The best hockey of his Rangers career…so far

[Pete]

Yeah sure, I guess you need to pad your postcount...LOL
