Post-Game Talk: Alpha Males

[PuckLuck3043]

I guess to each their own. I love his personality. The league is full of boring coaches and the ones that aren't boring are insufferable like Torts. Very rarely you get a thoughtful, well spoken, and clever coach like Paul Maurice. Only likeable thing about that team.

He has an underlying cockiness about him. I can't stand him or his team.

 

[Machinehead]

We've had some holes at 5v5 this year, but the ESPN crew acts like we never ever play well.

This is not the 2016 Rangers. Jesus, we've had some good games this year.

 

[HolyHagelin]

The mic catching Vinny asking Scott Van Pelt what his budget is on this show is hilarious

Yes that was amazing

 

[kovazub94]

No no no. Chytil really helps that first line. I would be shocked if Lavi didn't play him there next game.

I agree. And Roslovic wasn’t bad on the 3rd line.

Even if Kakko is back into the lineup with Vesey out, he’s going to be on a very short leash because now they have Wheeler as a potential replacement.

Screw lavviote I still think he made the wrong call, TG the rangers still won but there's no way Kakko should be sitting

ESPN doesn't really know much about hockey. They probably read the GDTs for their info.

hes been about as mediocre as mediocre can be

lavi is incredibly based and redpilled for playing rempe over kakko. you're letting your beta show with this take

 

[Siddi]

Credit where credit is due. Trouba taking the hit to make the play for the OT winner was beautiful.

 

[Kakko]

That asshole Tkachuk saw 9 minutes and 51 seconds of Adam Fox at 5v5.

Rangers xG - 0.87
Panthers xG - 0.07

Get shut down, ugly.

Fox did get an extra .33 for, in an extra 1:50, which I assume was mostly after icings/PPs. But technically Lindy is Tkachuk's matchup.

We outplayed FLA at 5 on 5 pretty much all game tonight and arguably did the same last game too (though the margin was doubtlessly smaller).

The irony is that this series is tied because FLA has shut down our PP so far - i.e. has been better on special teams. The area that, on paper, we should have an advantage in.

Their only 5 on 5 goals have been a muffin that Igor flubbed, and a cheesy own goal.

With Vesey getting hurt he probably draws back in.

While not related to anything you've said I find it humorous that most of the people gloating about Goodrow are Zucettes. Goodrow's goal tonight is way bigger than anything Zuccrello has done in his life.

Kakko can f*** off and take Wennberg with him.

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin Tro Laffy
Kreider Zibs Chytil
Cuylle Wennberg Roslovic
Rempe Goodrow Kakko

is that the lineup with no Vesey?

 

[kovazub94]

I feel like thats the first puck thats gone upstairs on Bobrovsky the entire series.

Everything has to get up there on him. He covers the low shit better than any goalie in the league.

Bobrovsky is on par with the very best in side to side movement. Lightning speed

 

[bl02]

Can Roslovic play LW? Now we need a LW if Kakko comes back in lol

 

[Svenhart2008]

Will be interesting to see the games in FLA when we can’t match D pairs.

 

[bl02]

Panarin Tro Laffy
Kreider Zibs Chytil
Cuylle Wennberg Roslovic
Rempe Goodrow Kakko

is that the lineup with no Vesey?

Can Kakko be effective on the 4th line? I know the joke will be "what's the difference he isn't effective on the 3rd line"

I guess if Roslovic can't play LW then that looks like the way to go.

Will be interesting to see the games in FLA when we can’t match D pairs.

True but also many there won't be as much pressure on a guy like Panarin and maybe he actually produces.

Probably but no guarantee Kakko is in. It could be Brodzinski or even Wheeler.

I have legit never heard a team more disrespected. Big market team won the Presidents' Trophy made the ECF two out of three years and you'd think they are some scrub team. And is Messier overcompensating? Just ridiculous bias.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That doesn't worry me at all. Their defense (as in their actual D) are not that good. Forsling is their only good defensive D and he's paired with Ekblad who is their Trouba.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Igor is the only reason that game went to OT.

You know the rangers outshot them, right? Like, both teams looked good.

Holy shit Igor clapping back at that reporter about Goodrow
