Game 27 Leafs vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

Will be interesting to see how they do on faceoffs vs. a team that historically dominates them in the dot.

 

[NYR_94]

Looks like Miller is out tonight for personal reasons. Jones in I would think, and they also called up Robertson, which makes me think it may be more than 1 game missed for Miller.

This will be a tough game for the Rangers, and players are dropping like flies this season.

 

[mrmel29]

Would have liked to see what Robertson looked like tonight. Hope it’s not substance abuse with miller

 

[kreidertime]

The clap is my guess lol

 

[kreidertime]

The defense this team plays in front of Shesterkin is fucking embarrassing

 

[Ranger71]

Wheeler's shot.

 

[Ranger71]

As he scores. Never fails.

 

[faatanqui]

Is it really the defense or is shitstersken the problem?

 

[faatanqui]

lol, any questionable calls def ain’t goin our way 2 nite

 

[Rangers94]

I love Igor, but if he isn’t willing to take a team friendly contract he can walk. We simply can’t handcuff ourselves like we did with Hank and tie up a ton of money with a stud goalie and then duds in front of him. We all know he has carried this team, and he will rightfully want a big pay day but the NHL and dipshit Gary have screwed the cap so badly that teams cannot build with their own players. If Igor is looking for his next contract to be more than 6.5-7 I’d trade him for a ridiculous amount in return and try to rebuild with a middle of the road goalie. I just don’t see how in today’s NHL with the salary cap handcuffs a team can be successful with how this team in particular is tied up with contracts. Gotta move some expensive, hard to part with players eventually honestly.

 

[Ranger71]

Garand should be solid but whether they'd move on from Shest is hard to say.

 

[kreidertime]

Open your fucking eyes it’s not Shesterkin. The amount of odd man rushes they let up when he’s in goal is absurd.

 

[kreidertime]

Again fucking atrocious defense in front of Shesterkin

 

[faatanqui]

Somethin outta whack with shesterkin

 

[kreidertime]

Fucking bunch of bumbling assholes out there

 

[Ranger71]

This is going swimmingly.

 

[kreidertime]

Maybe they should actually throw a check

 

[Ranger71]

Outside of Trouba and Cuylle it's a very soft team.

 

[kreidertime]

Shutting this shit off, I’m going to watch Two and a Half Men

 

[Stepupstepan]

Completely agree with rangers94. Do not invest in this goalie. I don't trust him as much I did with Hank. Spend money somewhere else.

 

[Rangers94]

It’s not that I don’t trust him. Far from it. But in this NHL you can’t have too much money tied up in just a few players, especially not a goalie. This team is screwed cap wise and tough decisions are going to have to be made in regards to Igor and Fox and Lindgren. Igor needs a team friendly deal. Lindgren reminds me of Girardi in that he’s willing to throw his body around, but his body will break down and we can’t commit money to him long term. Fox I wouldn’t want to get rid of but with his NMC kicking in soon you have to think hard about it and see what you can get in return for him.

 

[Stepupstepan]

That's the way to go if he wants to take a team friendly deal. Thats fine but I don't trust him that he will take a lesser contract. Some idiot team will throw a lot of money at him. There are not many great goalies now-days.

 

[Messiah717]

Mika and Wheeler get the Rangers within one heading to the third period.

 

[Stepupstepan]

if they can get at least a point out of this game it would be good. Toronto's d is not good.

 

[Messiah717]

There’s a combination of things going on lately. They’re not shooting the puck enough. Making life easy on questionable goalies. Whatever defensive system they were playing seems nonexistent now. Most importantly just too many bad goals allowed by Igor that we can’t keep just excusing away. He needs to find his game.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I think it's time for Drury to make some moves before they completely fall apart. Hate to say it but I have more trust in Quick than Shesterkshit. I would start Quick from now and let shesterkshit ride the bench. When is Chytil coming back. They miss that softie.

Shesterkin needs a message sent. He’s too skilled to be playing like this.

 

[Ranger71]

He hasn't been overly sharp since coming off the IL, and the defense certainly isn't helping. His focus seems a little off.

 

[PorterPanzer]

It's amazing how shit goes sideways so quickly when the Rangers don't show up to play. The defense has definitely been lacking when Igor plays and he hasn't exactly been as sharp as we've become accustomed. I 100% agree about throwing the kitchen sink at Igor and would still trade Fox

 

[kreidertime]

Igor can play be better but the defense in front of him mostly all season has been shit. Hank had the same problem. Team thought he would bail them out of everything.
