[FIRE DRURY]

Henrik Lundqvists hair, just his hair, would break tinder.

 

[Mandar]

Being passive in every zone can’t work.

 

[LORDE]

no, but from what i hear it was the same shit aside from the last 5 minutes. That doesn't cut it.

I agree but it was an entertaining 3rd period IMO

Haha, he’s very hard to look at only bc it’s too much greatness and sunshine.

[EdJovanovski]

I’ve never hated a team we never played more then Seattle

Can’t wait to beat them on their home ice made of Recycled Rain Water™ even though all water is recycled rain water

 

[Kocur26]

I need WAY WAY more from Alexei Lafranchise - dude is invisible.

tbh laf doesn't even deserve first line minutes lol

Pretty clear. He should be on the third line which is not such a bad thing. I think he needs to score more of goals going to the net. Its pretty clear he doesn't have the flash or confidence right now to generate 1 on 1 for himself.

His hair has better flow than this team...

 

[LOFIN]

The problem is, top-6 is looking for break-outs but not working hard enough to get them. That would require hard skating.

Need Gallant to bash into the heads of these forwards, they need to keep skating and looking for lanes. I mean in the future NYR can have as dynamic of a D as Colorado does, when you fully insert Lundkvist, Jones, and maybe Miller improves/Schneider does it. But it needs work. Right now only Fox can make those great passes when our offense is so passive to break out. And that's why it looks slow.

That’s because there is no Alexei Lafranchise on this team.

There’s an Alexis Lafreniere.

 

[Kovalev27]

Laf would be fine driving that third line and getting PP2 mins at his age. He just wasn’t drafted by a team that’s going to play him 20 mins and pp1 unfortunately for him. But I think slotting him in correctly will only help him. Kakko should be on the first line when he comes back

 

[Kravtsov420]

yea they just dont move their legs. moving backwards or we're facing shesty half the time while trying to make a pass. you need multiple moving parts and speed through the neutral zone. its not rocket science.

 

[Cmox]

Everyone back, let’s go

 

[Crease]

Superman and Lindgren back on the bench.

These tools’ hair have better flow than what we saw in the first period.

 

[rangers1314]

Lindgren clearly not right still.

 

[will1066]

Back to full manpower. Get to work

 

[effen]

I feel like scouting reports may have exaggerated some of Laf's better qualities.

 

[Circus86]

Lindgren and Reaves went for a beer and came back?

 

[DialUp]

This is infinitely winnable tonight

 

[CLW]

We need more from the vets first and foremost. Laf is playing like Zib and Panarin, just watching what's going on to pick his seams. When he does try to play physical he gets himself out of position (like a 3 on 2 for Calgary earlier). Can't have the top lines playing like that, everyone needs to hustle.

 

[Kravtsov420]

good news is kakko will definitely go back into top 6 if they dont score this game

 

[rangers1314]

On the bright side, outside of 2 shifts they can’t possibly be worse in the 2nd
