And then what?

Be a powerhouse for the next decade with a #losingculture ?

Not that finishing in the bottom twice in a row makes you a losing culture, but maybe we move up a la Chicago.

1st period : meh... --> Yes!
2nd period: zzz ---> whack AF
3rd period: Georgie Girl toxic asset bailout!
OT: Woooohhhoooooooo!

Quinn let you do some of those whip-its too, eh?

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

On a more serious note: This team blows chunks during the second period of most games so far.

Kind of annoying.

Sign of a young team/coach.

Better sign is that they then tend to react well in the subsequent period.

We need more guys like Lemieux on this team. He's the first one to jump off the bench after Kakko's OT winner. And then shakes Kakko and body slams him into the boards with excitement, prompting the biggest smile I have ever seen on Kakko's face. IMO, that was more exciting than the goal itself. I just love the enthusiasm of these youngsters. Makes me feel young again.

Who was it here, that wanted Kakko to score the first goal of the game? And isn't it only fitting he also gets the clutch OT winner?

Kudo's to Panarin, ADA and Kreids for not giving up on that extremely long shift. That allowed our rookies to do their magic.

A good fought win, when we had every chance to let this one slip away.

I noticed that too with Lemmy and share your sentiment.

I think Lemmy has accepted he doesn't have the skill to be a long term top 6, but he could carve out a long career as a top 9 defensive specialist.

He blocks shots as good as Girardi.

Where am i wrong ?

I know.

 

[Profet]

Memories....

Marc Staal when he passed the eye test.



... That was a bad joke... But I had to make it.

Matthew Barnaby was right to gush over Adam Fox when the Rangers acquired him. I know many of us knew he was a fantastic talent but I did not expect this level of poise in his game so quickly

I mean, it's also been an issue for a few years now. Not just a Quinn thing.

I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it though, if their first and third periods are good.

 

[Fvital92]

Voted Chytil as the 3rd star. I thought he had a great game on both ends of the rink although he didn't show up on the score sheet.

He got a secondary assist on the Fox goal, but he could have had himself a night if it wasn't for Buch being robbed 3 times by Murray.

 

[bl02]

Kinda love/hate how Kakko totally dismissed Buch and went to celebrate with Fox after the ot winner lol

 

[ohbaby]

Malkin really looks like a broken down old man no?

He dragged his butt down the ice and allowed Kakko to be home free on the winner.

 

[will1066]

I just got a new one and with that fresh battery the lowest I get is DeAngelo.

Thank God because 1% lower and you end up with Skjei

 

[ElLeetch]

Kakko-Fox is gonna be fun to watch for the next decade.

 

[eco's bones]

Yeah we blew a lead at home and the Pens didn't have Crosby or Letang but that's a good win for us. It puts us two games over .500 and both Kakko and Fox had big games. Georgiev held the fort as well.

People hate the +/- stat but Buchnevich is leading the team with a +8 which says to me his game is evolving. I wish he'd shoot more but he's a much stiffer and more defensively responsible player to play against this year and I think it shows up in that stat. His physical game is better as well. Lindgren also is a +5 in 6 games. I loved how he was working over Malkin in front of the net.

I feel like every team in the NHL can say this. 60-minute efforts against other teams in this league are hard; Basically every team is good. Better bad 2nds than bad 1sts or 3rds I guess.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Give Lemieux an 8 year contract based on his enthusiasm alone. I don't care!

Better pack my portable charger at work

 

[ohbaby]

Yeah I couldn't believe how quick they sent it back to the booth because we're all in a damn hurry to hear from Keith Jones.

This is funny. LOL

They had less bad than good tonight.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Don't look now, but the team is at true .500 and 6-2-2 in their last 10.

Said from the beginning they'd be on the doorstep. Whether they sneak in and get the kids their first taste of PO hockey or they finish at the bottom end of the lottery and hope to the hockey gods for a Chicago-like draw, I'm good.

We’re in the mix. Gonna be tough, but that 3rd division spot is up for grabs.

The Russian bias.

Making the playoffs requires some luck and keeping a body temperature roughly in the 90s.
