GDT: #18 - 11/11/17 | oilers @ RANGERS | 1:00 - MSG

[Machinehead]

The Oilers had a massive expected goals gap 10 minutes into the second period (I think we all saw that) but now it's dead even.

That was quietly a fantastic 10 minutes.

Because we were losing and tied

Yandle was pretty good, but nowhere near as good offensively as Shattenkirk. Shattenkirk might be the second best defensemen in the NHL behind Karlsson when it comes to offense.

He's certainly in that category

If only we had a cheap talented Right Handed Offensive Defenseman...... They could take over that PP with Skeji or McDonut

Exactly, Kampfer has gone above and beyond but AV gonna AV...

I agree and something about having that Right handed Shot back there. IDK good memories of Zubov I guess

Well even with him I think it'd still be better to use Shattenkirk for the full two than DeAngelo.

I actually think we should use both together on the second unit. Shattenkirk by himself at the point and DeAngelo essentially playing forward in the exact same role Zibanejad plays on the first unit. Then you have nice balance with L/R shots and can work it from either side.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hate to say it, but that Skjei pass had no business getting to Nash. It was flat. Luckily Gryba muffed on it.

It was a great saucer pass

 

[Machinehead]

Still fake.

But Nash's PDO normalization is real.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Friendly reminder that Buch was on the 4th line like a week ago. lol AV

[Machinehead]

I like the long periods! I try to get the authentic game simulation when I have time

It just doesn't work when two people are keen on blasting the puck and EA goalie badness

Not to mention bad defense.

You control one guy and the other four are Millering

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

lol love all the comments on who could be on the second PP

 

[DanielBrassard]

Nice to see Nash get on the board, he has been generating alot of chances, now the iSH% is normalizing.

 

[bl02]

After Nash's game today Chiarelli is getting ready to offer double for him

Unfortunately (especially in new york) its hard to trade a guy like that when things are going well for him and the team.
Its such a double edged sword. His value goes up but at same time he's contributing to the teams success.
Not saying its not the right move. Definitely is cause you wanna trade when value is high

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Not to mention bad defense.

I like when they bunch up on one side of the blue line and don't support the puck, or similarly, controlling a guy coming back to defend and the rest go braindead and don't know what gap control is

 

[Alluckks]

By some distance

Tom Poti grunts from his couch

 

[bl02]

lol love all the comments on who could be on the second PP

You got a point. Just sucks its all lefties but you're right. I feel Skjei could be a good second unit pp guy easily.Glad he's getting the chance.

 

[torirose1998]

This PP is amazing this year.

 

[chosen]

Wondering how upset a couple of the regular posters here must currently be feeling after openly cheering for a last-place finish.

 

[bl02]

kinda amazing what a lethal pp can do (over last 7-8 games its been lethal) when you're having a zombie like period.

 

[Reijo29]

You don't.... Hopefully we're just showcasing Nash. KZB need to lead the TOI everynight if we want to win

The comment that keeps on giving. He absolutely still is one of the top 3 O on the team. He plays his butt off. Sure he isn’t the scorer he once was and he absolutely isn’t a 7.8 million dollar play but this is the last year of his current contract. There would be absolutely no reason to showcase him, especially since it wouldn’t be a money dump now.

 

[Alluckks]

Haha, take an elbow to the nose and see how you react, regardless how hard it is.

It amazes me how some people think it is not normal to recoil from a hit to the face, regardless of how hard it was - especially the nose

 

[Ola]

Will PC make any trades to improve his team? Think they are as delusional as ever, will want to keep Pulju due to ‘potential’, if he makes a trade I wouldn’t be surprised if it still was for some old high pick.

PC has made one good move, for Talbot. He almost blew that since he rather gave up the late first for G Reinhardt than Talbot...

I was on the fence because I just felt the team was tuning out the coach, BUT you can't blame guys for being getting back to cheering for the team. If they wouldn't they wouldn't be real Ranger fans IMO.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Bieksa is one of the funniest guys in the league.

"Czech"
"Same thing"

Hahahaha

It's not amazing, it's blasphemy. Since 2005, NYR hasn't had such a good PP since... 2005? It has been an annual tradition to have a terrible PP. I can't yell at Shattenkirk when he's such a god on the PP and such a good player in the offensive zone. With a good system, Shattenkirk could be a franchise player.
