[Glen Sathers Cigar]

This team is so much better with the lead but when Georgiev is in net it’s virtually impossible to play with a lead. Or for any lead to be safe. It’s really demoralizing honestly.

 

[Black Aces]

Why tf would Blais switch to his forehand there he could’ve easily beat Blackwood on the backhand

No idea what you were seeing. He was getting cut off. The backhand would have been a poor angle shot.

 

[NickyLongLegz]

How come the only players who get breakaways for us are our grinders? Never see a Kakko or Laf breakaway.

If Kakko was on a breakaway, Strome would take a penalty off screen to blow the play dead

 

[Black Aces]

I mean, he has good hands and a good pass. He’s just slow. Two steps faster and he has a beauty chance there.

He was slow there bc he was at the end of a shift.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Blackwood made a breakaway save. Georgiev sitting at the other end asking if that’s allowed.

Their guy shot the puck, our guys are trying to push it into the net.

 

[mas0764]

Assist changed to Kakko.

 

[Lays]

No idea what you were seeing. He was getting cut off. The backhand would have been a poor angle shot.

Not really unless he couldn’t lift the backhand shot over 2 ft. He took to long to go to forehand to the point where it was obvious

 

[Kane One]

Omfg

 

[Chytilmania]

C'mon man

 

[RangersFan1994]

Kakko ugh so close

 

[LokiDog]

He was slow there bc he was at the end of a shift.

Blais is one of our slower guys regardless. I’m a fan. Just being honest about what he is and isn’t. Skilled for a grinder, yes. Fleet of foot? No.

 

[TGWL]

Oh, Kakko..

 

[Greg02]

Kakko how D:

 

[Machinehead]

I'm happy for the kid but that's another "nose for the net" goal from Laf.

I actually do like the kid because I feel he and Kakko have been good soldiers. They play mature games, they care about defense, they get to hard areas.

The Rangers put the cart before the horse, I feel. Sidney Crosby was a snotty little brat his first several years. McDavid didn't know where his own zone was until he was 24. Ovechkin and Malkin never bothered with anything that wasn't padding their own totals. I don't hear any complaining. I've said this before; with exception of a Patrice Bergeron, I think it's overlooked how much star players in the NHL only care about offense.

You can always teach backchecking and frankly, you can always just sign a Barclay Goodrow. When the talent is there, you focus on that first.

 

[EdJovanovski]

All this grit and it seems like our team last year would’ve done more to Subban. Have we even hit him once today?

 

[DialUp]

Nokko Naapo

 

[RangersFan]

OH COME ON

 

[duhmetreE]

 

[NYRKING30]

Jesus Christ Kakko

 

[Lays]

Kakko bro come on

 

[WojtekWolski86]

He's on the off wing with a clear shooting lane. Just shoot.

I mean, he has good hands and a good pass. He’s just slow. Two steps faster and he has a beauty chance there.

 

[mas0764]

Kakko again. The guy is so snake bitten.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Kakko doesn't have the poise on an NHL player.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Feel for Kakko

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Im speechless, am I living in the Truman Show?
