GDT: #37: 2012 Winter Classic - Jan 2nd | New York @ Philadelphia | 3:00 PM - NBC, CBC

[Maineice11]

huge third period coming up...the rangers know how to stand up and grind when needed, we haven't played the best, but we are only down by one! let's go rangers!!! pick it up in the third!!! the third period is OURS!!!

[Ola]

Hagelin-Richards-Callahan have been pretty overmatched so far... Besides them we are doing a pretty good job, but Philly's first get pressure on us every time against our first and that has been the diffrence really. Maybe Torts should try to get Dubi onto that line to get some more strength.

[rholt168]

Rap and hockey, bro.

[GWOW]

Anisimov and Stepan are a combined 2-14 on faceoffs today.

Rest of the team -- 14-11

Why was Stepan taking a d-zone draw on that first goal? It was a key faceoff after a dominant Flyers shift. Send out somebody else for the draw and change on the friggin fly.

I am convinced Torts is the No. 1 reason why teams score so many goals off the faceoff. Stop blaming the players.

[SupersonicMonkey*]

LOL.

Come on now.

Two ****ing teams are playing here.

[Glennsoe]

There's something about that Simmons guy I don't like...

Can't put my fingers on it, but he reminds me of Dennis Rodman..

[Fitzy]

Blame is pointless, because the entire team has looked like crap all game.

We arent going to get many perfect chances with this ice, so a game of patty cake with a no-room 2 on 0 is not the way to go.

****ing awful.

[Parker McDonald]

I'm not trying to be racist, but there are 45k white people in the stands. Why are they playing this music?

Flyers are playing great, and without Jagr too. Kinda sad to see. This is probably the worst game the Rangers have played since St. Louis, but then again, it's a bull **** sheet of ice theyre playing on.

Like I have been saying all along -- No More Euro trips. No more HBO. No more Winter Classic. No more gimmicks and fifth and sixth alternate jerseys.

The friggin alumni game was more exciting than this.

I loved 24/7. This game is pretty brutal to watch as a fan of one of the teams playing though.

[Machinehead]

Just like when they had Dropkick Murphy's performing in the classic at Fenway. It's always all about the home team.

Guys, the game is being played in Philadelphia. You want a song about the Rangers, get Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, or MetLife Stadium to grow a pair.

[rholt168]

Are the Flyers playing themselves, I haven't heard anything about the other team.

I mean, do you expect them to wear Rangers jerseys in a Philly home game?

[broadwayblue]

Need a big effort in the 3rd. And please, win a friggin faceoff!

[Callagraves]

This is the stupidest, most embarrassing thing I've seen in my entire life. I'm now ashamed to watch hockey. At least I'm not from Philthy.

Richards looks awful IMO.

He just looks slow, bad passes, but the whole team pretty much looks like this.

[ak10r]

I’d rather have a cheese stake than listen to the band……

Doesn't really mean that the rebound wasn't bad. 2 mistakes happened, one by Hank, one by whomever was responsible for defending Schenn.

1) news flash, white people like rap.

2) I actually agree though, rap was a bad choice overall.

And he was late to the play on the 2nd goal. Like i said McD playing like crap.

[Maineice11]

no offense...but how many times can this band say the flyers in one song? it is annoying!

[beastly115]

Milbury was right, we are the blue****s.

Because "The Roots" are incredible musicians that people of any colour can appreciate

The game is outside, no stands directly behind the boards, the light is changing during the game, strange bouncing puck, but:

Huge blunder by Hank IMO.

It happends to everyone. No biggie. But that was a bad rebound.
