LMFAO Gudbranson is so shitty Mika has time to bird watch

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Gudbrandson is a scary mofo. There's probably no dude in the league who could go toe to toe with him in a fight.

Yeah he’s a monster. But 3rd overall pick lmao

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Welfare check on @Go Away Staal

 

[Ori]

Fast playing very well too - new pp for Rangers.

 

[Gresch04]

Shockingly great penalty call in our favor.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Sam almost said @Vinny DeAngelo!

Sam really confused himself for a moment.

 

[Larrybiv]

Good call there refs.....dont say that often enough, unfortunately.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Welfare check on @Go Away Staal

I'm good.

They have no business leading but at least this period has been good.

 

[Machinehead]

Does Shatty play AGAINST opposition's best like Pionk doea?

Does it matter?

Pionk is fried butt against the competition he faces. Almost quite literally the worst shot differential player in the NHL.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Sam really confused himself for a moment.

Hey close enough...

 

[Rempe73]

I agree in the sense that he doesn't look great.

But think about it - who's better?

Sure as **** not Marc Staal or Neal Pionk. Brady Skjei doesn't play defense, he thinks he's Bobby Orr. Who's left?

I think you’re using advanced stats as confirmation bias. I would say DeAngelo and Skjei are definitely better. Claesson is as well. Staal has been better this season (I don’t know if I would say he’s better or worse than Shattenkirk idk). Pionk is good offensively, but needs work defensively (but I still don’t think he’s as bad as people say). Smith started well, but is obviously struggling. In all seriousness, I think Shattenkirk is in the bottom 3. He sucks defensively, and his offense is not making up for it at all. You have to look at the big picture, not just fancy stats. Advanced metrics also say Clendening and Franson are amazing defensemen.

Mika is starting to assert himself physically.

Always capable of it. That was one of the things he was noted for in his draft year.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t always manifested itself at the NHL level.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Looking forward to RB’s hyperventilation tomorrow morning

 

[Tob]

One of the best third periods all year.

Cody McLord woke the team up.

 

[will1066]

One of the best third periods all year.

They're really in sync.

 

[Edge]

Howden is a POS for giving us a lead.

Glad to see him picking up where he left off.

I was concerned the injury scare might break his momentum.

 

[Machinehead]

We had the competition argument for years with Keith Yandle.

Starting last year, Yandle is now one of the most defensively deployed players in the league. And yes, his analytics have taken a hit, but he's barely negative. Pionk is a -11 corsi rel player.

 

[Ori]

Howden is a POS for giving us a lead.

Bretts 10th point in his first NHL season! Ryan Mc. trade looks better now.

 

[Larrybiv]

Shockingly great penalty call in our favor.

Lol....said same a sec later.

I'm sorry, I can't take your opinion seriously if you think Staal is better than Shattenkirk at literally anything.

And it's also a misnomer that advanced metrics say Clendening and Franson are amazing. They say they're NHL players, and that's about the extent of it.

That pass from Chytil to Zbad was sexy

Having no issues with this team winning games.
