Post-Game Talk: 11/12/19 | #16 penguins @ RANGERS

I have no problem with Fox going through those growing pains. When he’s a finished product he’s going to be a defenseman that will give opposing coaches headaches.

He’s already giving them nightmares. His ceiling is absolutely staggering to think about

The Russian bias.

Except Buch is American.

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.

Can't recall the Penguin player that beat Lindgren wide but he made it up with a well- timed shove. His physicality keeps him in the lineup

Kind of...

I'm just gonna say it. It was a great Finnish. Come at me.

I don't usually exaggerate ceilings or try not to, but his is Norris trophy caliber.

I want to know who are these eight lightweights that didn’t vote Fox as one of the three stars. What game were you watching?

Brendan Lemieux: Lessons In Trolling

 

[ohbaby]

The games have more or less been butt ugly and I'm pretty confident in saying that this team won't make the playoffs, even after Zibanejad comes back.

BUUUTTT as opposed to last year, The young guys are making an impact.

It gives us hope of a bright future. But I'm not sold we can't make the playoffs yet. The kids will only get better in time. It's possible they learn to play within a system, with a little more consistency. It is likely a longshot, but if Vegas taught us anything,... is that anything is possible.

Kakko has 6 points in his last 7 games. Fox has 8 points in his last 9. Things are going very well as of late.

Well he got the sandpaper gene at least from his dad.

5-1-1 without Mika against some good teams is impressive.

Penalties Drawn vs. Penalties Taken. tl;dr: Lemieux is an outstanding troll.

Speaking of penalties...#chippy

I don't know why, but friendly made me laugh.

He's the über pest.

Legend has it Panarin, Kreider and DeAngelo are still out there valiantly gliding on led legs to center ice, ever so close, but still not able to reach that elusive rarity, The Line Change.

This is a fun team to watch. I know lots of inconsistencies still but the only 30 year old on the ice tonight was Brendan Smith.

 

[LORDE]

I mean win lose or draw... what we are seeing here, with these kids taking the reigns is just fun and special and makes my heart grow 3 sizes... along w other parts lol

 

[aufheben]

I don't know why, but friendly made me laugh.

I just love this concept of the Rangers being statistically the least-friendly team to play against lol.

 

[FultonReed]

we got this.

 

[Zub]

Love what I’m seeing from Kakko...

But Helen Keller could have scored that goal. Fox is cool as a cucumber out there. He looks like a Vet. Insane...

While the assist was amazing by Fox, it still requires Hockey IQ and inticipation, instinct, etc, that bad players don't have. Don't try take away anything from my boi!

Update to an earlier comment:

Kakko is now on a 30 goal pace.
