I guess Staal is playing like the entire PK?

 

[Rongomania]

At work - insanely busy - had to just change my freakin’ pants after watching that Chytil NASTY PASS. Whoa...

 

[Lone Ranger]

Second broken stick on a slapshot.. someone needs to check the finances of our material handler

Interesting, man with French-Canadien accent, large fake mustache, and initials "AV" on a signet ring, seen near Rangers' equipment before the game.

The puck probably brushed a whisker on his face leading up to Quickie's goal. They'll make the correction after the game.

Phew.

 

[nevesis]

Quinn is learning as he goes. He's smart enough to know that Staal absolutely f***ing sucks, and will limit his ice time (hopefully)

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I see the MSG 150 didn't have much content today lmao, Pidto was speaking at a normal pace WITH PAUSES

Pionk and staal look like the worst dmen. Everyone else looks average defensively right now. No stand out studs

 

[mike14]

This board's ability to overreact and over-analyse Staal compared to any other player wavers from tragically hilarious to deeply disturbing...

Every Hurricane has at least one shot. Pretty crazy. Wonder if it's strong defense limiting good chances or Greiss standing on his head.

 

[Lone Ranger]

Disappointing that Spooner hasn't invisibly picked up a point yet.

Oddly, he was credited with an assist on Nashville's goal, go figure.

 

[NYR]

If the Preds don't come out and impose their will in the 3rd, I'll be quite impressed with Quinn's system thus far..

 

[Larrybiv]

If we can get rid off Staal we may be a decent team.

Hasn't this been beaten to death already? Jeez. If Marc Staal magically disappears off this team......then who next does everyone beat up on? Who is on deck? Shatty? Oh yeah, we would still have Vesey......but he's gonna be an all-star (lol) so then......it's gotta be overpaid, underperforming, Shatty. Right?

As AV would say, “they’re just one of those teams that throws everything on net”

 

[CommaSynapse]

Al looks like he's had about enough of Vally's snark.

Well Malik, Roszival, and Girardi are no longer here.

Or that the Hurricanes are cursed to be a perpetual disaster cause of their name

 

[Webster]

So why didn't we have a word with Ekholm after he leveled Buchie who was crying in the corner? Kreider was there, but he just ignored it.

Looks like we still have this lack of tuffness problem...

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Surprisingly good. Defense has been shaky, but the forwards have gotten better as the game has gone on. Vesey has probably been our best forward. Fast scored off a great pass from behind the net from Chytil. Lettieri has also been gritty.

Quinn is a vocal coach and is constantly giving his guys feedback. It's especially good as they're learning, and it's showing. Surprisingly, Staal is actually looking pretty okay.

Hank has been great. Seeing a lot of shots, but he's doing well and tracking the puck well. In my opinion, the D is closing gaps once they hit the blue line and it's letting the faster NSH forwards get in, but it's also keeping things clear for Hank, so I guess that's something we'll see.

Hank looks great, some bumps with the zone defense but seems like it may play better to an aging Henrik; Chytil had a great pass on the goal, Hayes and Zucc have been good, Staal worsened his skating, Smith looks solid (to me), and Vesey is playing well too

Thanks, folks! Good stuff. Happy to hear it.

OT Pens with 6-4 lead over Caps. Derick Brassard scored!

 

[EpicDing]

Al is so cringey pls go away

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Sucks to hear that Pionk is having a bad game, young guys like him get swapped easily, we might see Deangelo vs Buf or Carolina

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I love Valy''s analysis so much
