Post-Game Talk: avs @ NYR

What are the chances Rykov is called up ?

 

[WojtekWolski86]

An underrated aspect of Igor's game that really stands out compared to Hank and Georgy -- his puck control. Not only great with the glove and eating up rebounds. But there were a few plays where he directed rebounds right past the opposing forwards. And his stickhandling will help with zone exits and breakouts. That's a big asset if you have a smaller D core. Teams will want to turn our D around and dump into the corners. Shesty can help reduce that a bit.

His abilities in those areas ads a dynamic Rangers haven't had for a very long time. Maybe Vanbiesbrouck in the late 80s was the last Rangers goalie that was great with handling the puck.

Also, was happy to see Kakko play with more confidence. Had some really good shifts.

Anyone know what Lindgren's injury is? Suddenly there's a chance we might see Rykov...

Lindgren had some cuts on his face after the fight. Could be concussion, broken orbital or cheek bone.

What does this even mean? Because it's a good opponent? I mean maybe he should just never play him ever.

In GDT there were couple comments bashing Quinn for supposedly throwing Shesty to the wolves by playing him against Colorado.

There is a flamingo in that gif too

 

[Irishguy42]

DQ said that Lindgren was held out for precautionary reasons and is likely good to go.

 

[darko]

Good Lord who is that.

My girlfriend. Not happy with people posting her photos on here.

I'm looking for video but Kadri might have jumped him before he had a chance to react

I was wondering if lindgren hit donskoi a bit late?
On a completely different note, for those who went to the game, has your opinion changed regarding jost?

 

[Uncle Dru]

Definitely got a head start (around 1:15)

 

[Alluckks]

Lindgren was bleeding quite a bit, he likely needed stitches so needed to come out for a bit for that anyway. Good to hear he should be fine

I’m on my honeymoon in Thailand right now and somehow that NBC broadcasted game was streamable through the NHL app. Total miracle.

My wife understood. She’s been hearing the name Igor for far too long.

Should we start a pool?

 

[Leetch3]

its 2020 and i think its about time someone gets a mic for the media during press conferences...i really enjoy the post game press conferences with quinn that the rangers tweet out that is just quinn staring at someone, you here some mumbles and then he answers a question that you couldn't hear. its really not that hard

 

[ViD]

I feel for Georgiev, the guy is posting 0.91% SV, in the top half of the league for advanced stats and yet he sits in the press box.

 

[JCProdigy]

He was trashing shesterkin, trashing the rangers, trashing everyone.

He's like...he doesn't look to me like a guy whose going to be the heir apparent, or something along those lines, and then shesterkin makes like 3 rapid fire point blank saves and Pierre is like.. he looks pretty good to me.

I'll start trusting Mike's analysis on goaltenders when I start trusting Bern's analysis on Rangers' trades and line combos.

Man some of these games and final scores feel more like flashbacks from 25+ years ago. It’s kind of trippy.

Crazy right? It's been a long time with this many goalies with GAAs above 3.00. NHL taking a cue off MLB...spiking the pucks. On a serious note, I wonder if it's going to have an affect on RFA/UFA contracts next year. A player's agent will say "My guy had 75 pts last year, he's a star!". GM responds "That was good for 50th in the league..."

You live a charmed life if that's the most annoying thing you encounter.

I'm annoyed by people who are annoyed at people complaining about people complaining.

Was that it? I mainly remembered that Richards came in with a dumb stereotypical "look what the vacationer bought on broadway" hat

My girlfriend. Not happy with people posting her photos on here.

Sorry to inform you. This is Igor's woman now. He gone stole your GF. Being a star goaltender for the NYR has its perks.

ADA and Buch confirmed to be traded for Ulf Samuelsson and Luc Robataille. e5

 

[JRinNYC]

I am so pissed right now...

I just can't get over it....how the effing hell does Mike Millbury have an effing job? The guy is the worst gm in history till chiarelli comes along and he parlays that into being the worst announcer in NHL history.

How the eff does this guy have a job... It's just... So effing wrong.

Hopefully he's one stupid remark from being fired or taken off the air like Cherry or JR.

I know Panarin has another casual 3 pointer but my 3 stars are Zib - Fast - Igor.

 

[bobbop]

Igor had Outstanding rebound control, especially on the third period power play. No rebounds for you! Some of the best that I have seen this year.

Lost in this euphoria is that the Rangers came back from 0-2 on a very good team. They should have beaten a very good team on Saturday. They are not there yet, but they are close.

Dolan was the vacationer.

 

[bobbop]

Definitely got a head start (around 1:15)

Donski never saw Lindgren.

My two favorite John Forslund phrases are "Here it comes" and "Circle the wagons"

That sounds like you're telling Igor to skate fast.

Edit: I guess it'll be zip, haha.

 

[bl02]

Kid is gonna score close to 60 points this year. Holy crap

Also possibly los,t and is of great importance as much as Igor settling in, is that Kakko has looked more and more like he is finding his way over the past few games. You're starting to see a little more control of the puck now, a little more quickness of movement, and more confidence/better decision making.

We need to keep him it all costs

 

[EdJovanovski]

Seldom do you find a player with his skillset that plays with as much of an edge as he does
