Post-Game Talk: 11/10/19 | #15 panthers @ RANGERS

[Jaromir Jagr]

Some people on this board are embarrassing, yikes. Which saves should Hank have done? Snipes and deflections mostly..

He is being paid a shitload to stop pucks. He faced 38 shots tonight. He stopped 31. That's just not good enough. You can't make exuses for 7 pucks getting past you. No matter how difficult. It wasn't like he faced 50 shots. This was a reasonable amount.

The second goal was especially a disaster. He was lying on his back doing snow angels.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Highly unlikely he'll keep it up, but Buchnevich is on pace for 71 points this year.

 

[aufheben]

More points without Zibanejad. f*** it!

Are you really in Warsaw? I am living in Bialystok these days... "Semi retired" - like consigliere Tom Hagen once aptly put it ... We should meet, if so. Not that many NYR fans around here... Otoh your comments might get me into trouble... hehehe

Not saying he was good or bad since I didnt watch the game but wow has he raised the bar that we actually consider almost 40 shots against reasonable.

 

[nevesis]

he was bad. Really bad.

Hyperbole at its finest, but fitting from one of the biggest Hank haters on this board.

Literally just moved back to the states this month. Was in Warsaw for the last 2 years. Now in Atlanta for the next 6-12 months. We'll see after that.

It was 35+3 in the SO. I really don't think 35 shots is an unreasonable amount in today's NHL.

Add-in that the Rangers have invested so heavily in Lundqvist to make-up for defensive shortcomings, he should be expected to perform better then an .857 save %.

Lundqvist has earned his defenders. But today's game was winnable. He didn't come through when needed. The second goal was an atrocity.

 

[Drew4u]

Trouba has really struggled so far.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I missed this game for the Toilet bowl. Giants fan. Brutal. Loved Chytils goal.

 

[aufheben]

I think I have voted for Panarin in every game... and he deserves more credit than that actually.

Remarkable consistency. You could put him with McKegg and Haley and the guy wouldn't pout, which I love.

 

[Black Aces]

Trouba has really struggled so far.

I feel like this is so overstated

lol ok guess you missed me praising him every 5 mins against Carolina. He sucked today live with it

 

[nevesis]

The second goal was an atrocity.

That goal is 100% on Adam Fox. He didn't do his job. You should go back and watch the replay to see how the entire play evolved.

Hank makes a save from a shot from the point, the rebound bounces to the side where Hunt puts it on goal, the puck bounces and sneaks through Hank into the crease and Fox forgets his man and Toninato has a tap in.

 

[Black Aces]

The second goal was an atrocity.

Do people need to use such words and be so dramatic? Cant just say bad goal which is even debatable.

He let in 5 goals during the game. The shootout is a crapshoot. And he stopped one of the best (if not the best player in the league at shootouts) at it.

2nd goal was so-so I'll give you that. But he had no chance on the other ones.

Such a flawed way of thinking. So if he faced 20 shots and 15 of those were 3 vs 1 you'd bitch too?

 

[gump116]

Can’t believe how good Fox is. Think he’s our best D already. What he’s shown as a rookie is what I was hoping he’d be at his peak. He’s already 21 so not sure how much better he’ll get but if he keeps improving he could be a #1

I'm living in Krakow these days. We may be the only Ranger fans in Poland.

You can't just ignore Hank's failed effort because there was a breakdown in coverage. You can almost always point to some kind of breakdown that leads to a goal against. Yea, Fox blew it on that play, but Hank needs to be better. Doing snow angels in the crease while the puck slides by you is unacceptable. And frankly, this is becoming a bit of a thing this year.

I can't be the only one witnessing him doing it more often. He ends up on his back and stays down for extended periods while the play around him continues.

I really respect what Hank has done for this organization. He is easily my favorite Rangers of all time. His past two games were absolutely phenomenal.

Today, he was sub-par and we didn't win. Was he the only reason we lost, obviously not. But he certainly didn't help and I think he could have done more to get us this win.

He should be tarred and feathered.

Strome is not a good faceoff guy.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Good game guys. Your team is gonna be a force in a couple years. Lots of great young talent, trust me your rebuild is going along very nicely.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

can’t lose to this guy

 

[mike14]

Strome is not a good faceoff guy.

True. But neither is Howden (especially in this game) which is why it was a strange move

 

[Tob]

Trade Strome, trade Kreider, Trade George. Buyout Staal in the off season, save $2.1M next year when Shattenkirk's $6M cap hit is in full force. Fire Quinn for whoever is the best proven NHL coach on the market. Lots of kids looking great. We need defensive structure and Quinn's not good enough at the NHL level.
