Post-Game Talk: #37 - 12/27/19 | hurricanes @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

[Harbour Dog]

Howden tried to give it back but the Hurricanes wouldn't take it like in that SpongeBob episode

And Lemieux fractured his hand punching Howden? I'm starting to get the full picture.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Zibanejad 29 points in 25 games.

Panarin 48 points in 37 games.

Two legit star forwards that can carry their own lines like they did tonight...

I swear, if they cleaned up this 4th line, they'd have a shot to go on a run

People flame me for making a joke like this.

There you go!

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Stromes last two 1/4 seasons in LI/EDM:

66p in 169 Games.

Stromes career as a Ranger:

63p in 99 Games.

Either he's produced a greater points per game at his physical peak years than in Edmonton during his not physical peak years, or many of you need to thank Lindy Ruff for the job he's done turning around Strome by saying hello to him
and asking about the weather during lunch.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Carolina is a tough team. I'll take the win. They pile 40+ shots every game against us. Henrik has done ridiculous against them in his career.

Panarin, Zibenejad, Kreider and Strome all played very well.

That is now 48 points for Panarin. Not a bad signing.

Their possession games allows to maintain possession of everything besides winning games in the NHL.

I have higher expectations from you.

3/10.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Kakko needs to figure out how to get Kakko more involved.

You just don't want to admit AV is ruining him!

I mean context is key

 

[kovazub94]

Buch was solid, I thought. Wish he has another level. He'd be so good. But probably doesn't.

Look at Kreider’s first goal on the rush off of Zibanejad’s pass. Buch made a play in the defensive zone to force Carolina’s mistake and then took out at least one another Hurricanes player in their zone that allowed Zibanejad time and space.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

There you go!

You two need to get a room already.

Howden will be there waiting for you as well.

 

[kovazub94]

Ryan Strome is gonna score between 60-70 points playing with Panarin. Let that sink in

Only 60-70? You’re underestimating Panarin.

 

[Cmox]

Buch was solid, I thought. Wish he has another level. He'd be so good. But probably doesn't.

He just needs to use a shake weight.

A recommended a regimen with the ab roller

If this room is in Hartford, I'm in.

 

[QJL]

Coaching staff needs to figure how to get Kakko more involved.

Kid needs to skate the river this summer. He does not have NHL quickness right now.

 

[Leetch3]

are we still mad about the PP units?

 

[Machinehead]

Since it benefitted us in a game we won I have no problems saying this... But I effing hate the offsides challenge. Just abhor it.

Offside is in place as a means of structuring the game a particular way.

It was never meant to be called down to the half-inch.

I hate the off-sides review also. A play that is a hair off is not going to stop play, and not stop a goal. We got the benefit of the call tonight but it doesn’t always go that way.

Yeah but it gives a hidden catch up mechanism which is great for national ratings , and it keeps Twitter wars at bay when they can't say "yo muh team waz da reel winner cuz uzze wuz offsidez"

So true. Lol.

 

[Fitzy]

Something needs to be done about that fourth line.

I legitimately think a full pack line of Beleskey-Fogarty-Nieves would be far better.

 

[bl02]

At one point Staal and Sjkei were on the ice at the same time and I almost had a heart attack

Days of defending Skjei are gone. Of our 3 LD the one I get least anxiety when on the ice is Lindgren.
Its crazy every time Hank is seen making a big save in front of his net its always #18 scrambling trying to get to the net just praying Hank made the save.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Practically invisible tonight

pretty sure only McKegg had fewer minutes.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Being successful playing with Panarin is easy to describe: get him the puck and go get open. The problem is not everyone can see it and execute it. Strome can.

Strome made a lot of nice plays tonight involving Panarin. He knows how to play with him and where to be. Glad he was rewarded with a goal, got robbed a few times.
