Post-Game Talk: #10 - 10/29/19 | lightning @ RANGERS

[The S5]

It's the correct take.

So was it grit, systems or simply the lack of Marc Staal?

 

[TheDirtyH]

As opposed to last year where the two of them together was absolute trash.

I thought they were pretty good together last year too..

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I think it's okay to hold back credit for it if only to see what he does for Saturday. If he goes right back to Staal after a dominating win like this without him in the lineup, then there's not point in giving Quinn credit because it's just negated by putting him back in.

If he scratches Staal for even just one more game, then yeah it's good. Ideally, Staal gets scratched a lot more, but I'll take two consecutive games at a time. Baby steps.

But if we win next game, yet Staal is in the lineup, what then?

The singularity is reached?

 

[bl02]

So safe to say next game Lindgren out and Staal back in? lol

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Because we still had Staal and terrible coaching?

I mean this is just the new fix all.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Not really.

I'm not sure what game you were watching but it indeed was much better tonight. Tampa is going to get their chances because of the offensive talent they have but the rangers played much better in their own end.

 

[Machinehead]

The lack of Marc Staal was probably the biggest factor tonight, but we'll have to see how it goes.

This is still a bad team over any significant sample.

Fully expecting it

 

[broadwayblue]

Chytil looked dynamic out there. Kreider still snakebitten at times but was the best player on the ice tonight.

Skater maybe.

 

[Machinehead]

I mean this is just the new fix all.

I literally just said this team still sucks. Do you read the thread you're posting in or are you too busy laughing at your own jokes that nobody else laughs at?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Tampa still had a ton of chances.

Sure but not anywhere near most of the games this season. The team was much more in control in their own zone and did a good job of limiting chances and being in the right spots to be taking things away and clear rebounds and everything. Georgiev was excellent tonight but it’s not like we got shit pumped and won all on his back. This was a full team effort from him on out.

 

[Kords]

Hope the Bolts take this beating out on NJ tomorrow

I was watching this game.

And since I make it very clear that my take on a game is in no way swayed by giving a shit what random people on the internet think or scoring brownie points with the same people for piling on the whipping boy of the year,

no I don’t think the way to summarize the change in this game was just “Staal being out.”

 

[Anzi]

Reason we lost against the Bruins is that we didn't have elite 1st line winger Jesper Fast

 

[The S5]

The lack of Marc Staal was probably the biggest factor tonight, but we'll have to see how it goes.

This is still a bad team over any significant sample.

That is just a silly take.
I do agree with the second part though.

 

[Tob]

Fil's substantive beginning of his NHL career overshadowed by the beginning of the end for Staal. He's definitely physically ready now. He'll struggle finding the drive each night but finally a bright spot out of our rookie forwards.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I literally just said this team still sucks. Do you read the thread you're posting in or are you too busy laughing at your own jokes that nobody else laughs at?

Aww you were fake nice for a few games at least.

 

[Machinehead]

That is just a silly take.

Today I learned that "your hockey team is better when really bad players don't play" is a silly and weak take.

 

[ohbaby]

Amazing how good a coaches system looks when players do their jobs.

We might not be as consistent as a professional team should be, but at least we know what it takes to win in this league. And when we do as coached, we look awfully good at it.

 

[Machinehead]

Aww you were fake nice for a few games at least.

Why would I be nice when you're purposely coming on here after a win to be insufferable?

 

[will1066]

No Staaling tonight. Rangers kept the pedal to the metal.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Chill man.

Meh, I do think this win was on Georgie's back. If it were Hank, we would have guys stroking him off like he invented electricity.
Georgie makes tough saves look easy and, tonight, did an amazing job with controlling rebounds.

[Machinehead]

I only do it when the team is awful.

Not my fault that's like 70/82.
