LOL what fucking joke this is. This idiot has fourth line AND Nemeth against the best player in the nhl. What an idiot of a coach this guy is. Get rid of his ass as soon as possible.
Kakko looks absolutely awful. Benched Lafreniere in the third. Plays Georgiev against one of the best teams with two days rest between games. Absolute idiocy by this coach.
Icing the puck in overtime was the last straw. Blew two games in a row but Gallant will say he loves the record!
Kakko and Laf have combined for 4 points. Kakko has zero. Chytil has two. So much for developing young forwards.
In a loss they actually looked better than they have in any of their wins. Still doing a poor job clearing pucks. Kakko has to start stepping it up.
I'm actually at the point where if I was Kakko or Lafreniere I would ask to go to the AHL or to be traded. If this is the kind of bullshit this organization will do with it's young forwards, there is no point in keeping them here. They have never made any committment to developing Kakko or Lafreniere despite what they say. Kakko may actually not be recovered from his injury. He has not been the same since. However, it's a joke that these two kids aren't getting close to 20 minutes a night and aren't on the first PP unit. The Rangers are ruining their careers.
I said it before…this team focused on grit and forgot that they still lacked skill players. Now we have a bunch of pylons out there playing but so long as we have 5 guys to show grit that’s what matters. Fucking retarded moves SCREAM Dolan was involved and directed it. Still can’t for that guy to die so the Knicks and Rangers can be relevant again finally.
I have no issue adding Goodrow, Blais and Reeves. We neeed that. However, playing McKegg or Hunt over Barron is fucking idiotic. Signing Nemeth when you had Hajek was idiotic. Continuing to play Strome and Kreider over Lafreniere and Kakko on the first PP unit is beyond stupid. This team will soon be a place where no young forward prospects want to play if it already isn't.
We didn’t need ALL three of them. By signing all three of them it limited roster spots and cap room. We needed a FO winner. That should’ve been the number one priority. After that should have been grit and tough guys. Instead we prioritized grit, never addressed the FO situation and we keep jerking around our young forwards by putting them on lines without skilled players. This team might actually be worse than last years team honestly. Outside of Igor this far I am not impressed with anyone or anything.
That was all on Georgiev, he's as soft as Charmin. The McDavid goal was ridiculous unless you've watched him play, he's a freak on ice. It should be a lesson for Kakko, to make a great play on goal you have to attempt one. Nemeth has as many shots on goal as Kakko so he's clearly stunting poor Kappo's growth. The grit players replaced Blackwell, Buch and Digi, perhaps a #1 line in the KHL but hardly game changers. The idea is the offensively gifted can now play without looking over their shoulder for the cheap shot. Once Reaves is back Hunt is likely out of the lineup. Meanwhile it's big tough Calgary tonight. Time to break out the pickle juice spritzers haters and get your sour pusses on. Let's Go Rangers!
Yes 71 I was referring to posters saying someone should have stopped him. Many have tried few have succeeded.
Mcdavid is great but he went between 4 players not around them. Instead of futily stick checking one of them had ample opportunity at those close quarters to knock him on his ass, they just chose to stick check instead. Very weak effort by the quartet.
