I dunno what the fancy stats look like for this game but I imagine they are not good.

And I don’t think SJ has looked particularly sharp

 

[Fvital92]

Whe should only play rookies, they're the only ones who are playing like they care.

 

[mike14]

Considering the difference in where the 2 teams are expected to be this season we really haven't looked too bad. It's just stupid mistakes that prove costly and a lack of top level offensive talent

 

[TGWL]

Still think that was a horrible shot by kreider if he wanted to end his shift just dump it in

It was a horrible play. For somebody so fast, he stops skating and then winds up. Tired? Maybe, but come on. Remember when Kreider had speed? It'd be nice for him to show it.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Once again our lack of finish showing

Enemy goaltender isn’t a wide eye teen ager from a one horse town “standing on his head” under the big lights?

 

[Tob]

Don't mean to derail thread but was Howden considered a strong skater as a prospect? He looks deceivingly quick

This would not be the first thing to derail this thread, no.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I'm getting tired of hearing this or that player "got caught" .
If you're playing in the tight 5 man formation that Quinn is looking to play then there has to be a rotation.
If ADA goes in deep, a fwd needs to get back and cover his position.
Players need to recognize and shift.
It's not rocket science..

The real problem with that play is kreider is tired and lazy at the end of a shift and takes a shot for a rebound to no one. He got a great outlet and I think everyone on the ice expected him to drive the net or hold for help. He did neither. Shot and skated to the bench

 

[Mac n Gs]

I think they've actually been really good in the offensive zone, especially Chytil's line. The Rangers have set up some prime scoring opportunities, but they haven't executed. Hank's saving their butts tonight in the defensive zone.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

Staal is just... he's awful.

 

[Fataldogg]

Whe should only play rookies, they're the only ones who are playing like they care.

The guy in net looks pretty good.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Hopefully Zucc is the next to get benched

He looks really, really, really bad

 

[Tob]

Compared to other teams and how much composure they show with the puck in a scoring chance, we look like apes with sticks.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

DeAngelo giving Staal a taste of his own medicine

 

[Edge]

Don't mean to derail thread but was Howden considered a strong skater as a prospect? He looks deceivingly quick

Like a lot of taller players, he can be a little deceptive because he covers a lot of ground.

He’s also very good at maintaining speed without constantly having to churn, using his momentum efficiently.

That’s an Underhill trait.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Come on ADA, gotta be smarter than that.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Hank is gonna have his work cut out for him to drag us out of a bottom five finish.

 

[Trxjw]

Hopefully Zucc is the next to get benched

He looks really, really, really bad

Pretty disappointing. He was clearly being looked to as a guy who would be a leader on this team but he looks like a guy who knows his days are numbered and he's just biding his time.

FC doing good job in front of the net there. Like mentioned before the rooks/younger players outplaying the vets by a large margin right now and for all intensive purposes thats fine.

While I agree on Kreider, I believe the culprit is Zib.
This happens every single time he's in the ice and it's his job as center to get your ass back on the play..

 

[DanielBrassard]

Hopefully Zucc is the next to get benched

He looks really, really, really bad

Who hasn't looked bad? It's a much shorter list than who has. Buchnevich, Zibanejad, and Hayes have been just as bad.

"intents and purposes"

Sorry, one of my pet-peeves....

 

[EpicDing]

McQuaid and Staal have both played under 10 mins so far tonight. 5th and 6th for dman ice time.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Flip Fast and Zucc

 

[The Crypto Guy]

you're acting like the saucer pass isn't a thing.

lol , its not that simple.

 

[Tob]

Pretty disappointing. He was clearly being looked to as a guy who would be a leader on this team but he looks like a guy who knows his days are numbered and he's just biding his time.

the trade rumors last deadline was what broke him. His heart has already moved on in some ways. The "A" on his sweater is just a matter of seniority and appearances. Shattenkirk is a Ranger at heart and is far more committed to this near future of this franchise and yet, he's the one without an A. This season is a lot of confusing stuff.
