GDT: Canes v. Rangers 3/12 7:00

[Tryamw]

Didn't think the original hit looked that bad. But maybe awkward position.

Supposedly he's back now.

 

[StormChaserBH]

Ref even let him get away with the first payback, a slash, but then Svech waited for him at the blue line to give another.

 

[ksbeecane]

It's a little disheartening that we can't seem to get any traction on the forecheck. I worry about PK facing this much rubber

 

[StormChaserBH]

8 freakin seconds

 

[Tryamw]

1-0 Rangers
Skjei with the own goal

 

[CanadaCanes]

8 freakin seconds

Yeah that sucks, the effort wasn’t great but giving that up late stings.

 

[ThinIce]

We haven’t had decent possession for most of that period. I was screaming at our zone play on the last 30 seconds. Awful.

On the replay, it looked like his chin banged off Gustafsson’s helmet. But a stupid, stupid retaliation penalty.

That would explain folks saying when he left the ice he was bleeding

 

[Tryamw]

Not enough puck luck and the puck goes over the net off the top

 

[Tryamw]

Slavin that was the time for a one timer.. not getting blocked

 

[Tryamw]

canes can't take advantage of the rangers huffing and puffing..

He passed up 2 of them. He has no offensive instinct at all.

 

[ksbeecane]

At least we've had some o-zone time, but why can they keep pushing us to the outside? The Rangers seem to be effortlessly keeping us from the middle.

 

[Tryamw]

chatfield taken down No call.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Gotta show up for more than 20 minutes to beat these guys.

I think we showed up for 40 but that first 20 was bad

 

[ThinIce]

After a very poor showing in the first, we played a very competitive game against a very good team. Credit the Rags for keeping us on the perimeter, but our poor passing (especially in tight and in the neutral zone) did more to stop our offense than the Rangers. I expected some chaos (not the good kind) with Kuznetsov and Guentzel in the lineup, but hope they can get accustomed to Rod's system soon.

In the meantime, what's going on with Svech?

He lost his mind after the hit from Gustafsson and took a stupid retaliatory penalty again. As RBA said that has to stop. But he wasn’t good at all last night. He had a 3 point night against Calgary, so hopefully it‘s just a 1 game funk.

He took a helmet to the face and wasn’t happy about it. That was a weird hit. Looked like the ranger player was lining him up for a big hit and saw Svetch was ready for it and instead of going shoulder to shoulder he ducked his shoulder to svetch’s chest which is also a helmet to the face.
