Post-Game Talk: #17 - 11/10/18 | RANGERS @ blue jackets | 7:00 - MSG

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I love how some people talk about Georgiev bailing this team out in the 3rd, or how Lundqvist steals games, that we aren't deserving, etc,

But goaltending is part of the team and we have always had a great TANDEM. Lundqvist-Talbot, Lundqvist-Raanta, now Lundqvist-Georgiev. We always seem to have good goaltending, period, and that's a big part of the team.

We always have a good tandem because we always have Hank the GOAT.

Names is a good two-way player who was misused by av and at first by Quinn. Its hard to go from Stamkos and Kucherov to a 4th liner on a rebuilding team and not see a drop in play. But since hes back on a top line he has looked really good

Totally different player, indeed. I don’t necessarily blame the coach(es) but that last benching really lit a fire under his rear. He has been very strong lately.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Georgiev played really well. The goals he gave up were...likely to go in versus Hasek too. And he made a lot of sold saves.

Meh he was fine.

 

[Richard Banger]

We lose people are negative. We win people are negative. This place is so trash sometimes.

 

[Good Intentions]

Meh he was fine.

No, Georgiev was good. Korpisalo was fine.

I can star 3 or 4 saves from Georgiev that kept us right there; particularly the glove save that would have extended it to 5-3 before Hayes made that gem of a feed behind the net to tie it up 4-4.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Meh he was fine.

I was not a fan of that short handed goal, other than that, he was ok.
They showed a statistic during the broadcast about goalies with the most goal support. Georgie was up there.

 

[egelband]

Second worst team in the league in terms of ROWs. That will catch up eventually. We’re that bad. We are. Don’t mistake it for something it isn’t.

It’s not “we”. It’s a pro sports team. It’s entertainment. I suggest taking it less personally. There are a ton of teams trying to win the Cup. “We” probably won’t win in a while just based on the odds. How about enjoying the product now? Might be more fun. And this is a legitimately fun team to watch.

Eichel is playing in his fourth year. What have the Sabres done?

 

[bl02]

Little love for Kreider. Could finally grab his 30 goal season this year. Playing with different linemates and putting up goals anyway.

I'm glad he's not the one-dimensional player under AV who just kept doing the left wing stretch pass game in and game out.

 

[The S5]

True, but Talbot is having a decent career and Raanta has been one of the best goalies in the league over the last two seasons.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I feel like a broken record. If we keep winning, it will worsen our draft pick. Which will worsen our chances of getting a true game-changing player. Which will keep us at mediocrity until we do get one.

Why do you have such little faith that we can be the outlier ?

 

[eco's bones]

The other good thing is you know Torts had to have been screaming at his team when it was all over.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

So, what do we think of David Quinn 17 games in so far?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Benoit Allaire deserves a ton of credit for developing goalies.

The perfect coach so far, everyone he has benched, demoted or lessened ice time has come back better for it, Chytil will get there too hopefully.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Really question the Spooner shootout selection. Not a big deal tho, just a shootout and Zucc is returning. Still, for a coach that preaches hard against "hero" passes/plays, that felt a tiny bit hypocritical. Otherwise great game I don't know how people here can say we got the win by getting lucky.

I'll bet that Torts loves a guy like ADA.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yeah, for sure. It's why WE play Powerball and Mega Millions when the jackpot gets big. Everybody wants a shot. Just that it doesn't work that way for those guys in the locker room who'll say they won this game at the end of day, no matter how ugly it was.

A long time ago, I used to go into the border of the hood for “loosies” [loose cigarettes] when the price for a pack got too high.

One summer night, a clearly inebriated and destitute resident of that area was sitting outside the convenience store with her last $100 in scratch off.

She scratched them all off one by one, yet won nothing.

She then looked up and said, “At least I tried!”

God bless her

Must be good in practice on them is all I can figure. I really thought he might have used Chytil in this one.

Don't know what he said to the team in private, but I was going to comment before that he was very calm talking to the media post game when I was watching the Columbus feed. He told a reporter that he wouldn't play certain forwards on the same line because they "don't check." Wish I had heard who because I was just curious who they were talking about.

 

[egelband]

I honestly don’t see it. Spooner has a honeymoon phase here and then he disappeared. Probably a mid round pick.

I think he is improving. I agree hale has been one of the Rangers worst forwards. But I do see him trying to play more aggressively and constructively. So maybe he develops more value. Maybe? I hope so.

Great story. Should be on MSG 150, narrated by GOAT Bill Pidto.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I will say the same I said about Namestnicov at the start of the year about Spooner. He is a much better player than he is showing right now and I expect him to get better. I am wondering though if the injury is more than was let on? He seems to be avoiding contact a bit, last year he was driving to the net but something is holding him back.

 

[egelband]

Yeah I was wrong on Names. He's played well lately.

worst nickname ever, though
