Gauthier has a combined Rangers luck of Lucky Luke, Frolov and Higgins’

Don't you mean luc? Lol i was like who's luke.
But yes he hit so many posts so far as a nyr.

 

[egelband]

It’s funny how a team can look so much better when they’re not penalized in the first two minutes and down immediately.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This team goes as its goaltending goes.

or is the other way around?

It's both.

The big difference today is our goalie isn't the one who shat the bed. This game is almost the exact reverse of the first game.

 

[RGY]

What are you talking about? He's having a great game

He has been average. Sure thats fine. Like I said, half of the issue with Howden resides with DQ.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

He's also a pro at shooting the puck directly into the logo of the goalie.

Yeah, that too. Below average skill, below average shot but he works really hard. I guess I’m just not seeing what the coaches do because I’ve seen zero to indicate throughout his career to indicate that he is going to be a skill player at the nhl level. Even when he’s playing well, he’s not that guy.

 

[dangsLITE]

Outside of his goal how has Kakko looked this game?

He's had 6 min of ice time... probably 1 other good shift and the rest average

 

[IDvsEGO]

I

Wow only 17 goals from we’re buch scored? I bet he distracted by the big orange glove?

I think it’s probably even rarer because he doesn’t break it down lefty vs righty, righty is more likely to take that shot than a lefty like buch.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

We’re doing great against a team that is solid clogging the passing lanes. I can’t imagine how this offense looks against any ordinary team.

Our goals haven’t came from a possession. Just off off man rushes, or 1 on 1. I wanna see 2 goals with tons of puck possession.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I know it's been said already, but the velocity of Laf's wrister is very impressive

the 1 goal he scored vs the USA (i think) in his cameo as a 16 year old in the WJC a few years ago sold me on him, it was a f***ing bullet

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Sorokin is a dead ringer for Nabokov in net. Stands like him, wears his gear similarly, kind of plays a compact style like Nabokov.

 

[bl02]

He has been sublime in this game.

Miller too.

f*** the hate on the plus/minus stat i'm flaunting it if Miller stays plus 3 or better lol
He's been great to watch.

 

[will1066]

He has been average. Sure thats fine. Like I said, half of the issue with Howden resides with DQ.

He's not part of your go-to top-6, you don't your game on his back, but he's done everything asked of him

 

[EdJovanovski]

Nelson looks like Willy Wonka would’ve when he was younger lol

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Why change the lines Quinn lol...

 

[LORDE]

Fox is so impressive

 

[Tob]

Getting some reminders on why Smith isn't a permanent fixture.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What a stupid f***ing penalty.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

don't want to play this whole period in our own zone.

 

[Machinehead]

Another ticky tack call. Two-hander incoming.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

f*** yes Troubs

 

[will1066]

Trouba laid out Brazil

 

[LORDE]

YEAH Trouba

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Trouba was a monster on that PK

 

[will1066]

Buch has been a two-way monster

 

[Priorae]

Whole defense has been impressive
