Post-Game Talk: buffalos @ RANGERS

[will1066]

Gave one to Hunt as he has no business on the top line but wasn't the worst player on that line.

When Hunt was put on that line, they immediately had greater zone time. Not a coincidence. Had a couple of good chances.

Or possibly go in the scrum and fight for the puck? Who knows

 

[NYR94]

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I know it doesn't feel like it, but he is still a few years younger. Fil is still like 5 years away from his prime, we need to remain patient even though he is one of the longest tenured Rangers ATM.

Yep. To put it in perspective, he is still a year younger than when Mika was traded to the Rangers.

 

[bl02]

It's nice to know we have a very good young 1-4 d and most likely even 1-6 for hopefully the next 7-8 years.

 

[LokiDog]

Only voted for Strome and Tinordi because Georgiev wasn’t in the poll.

 

[Hire Sather]

Not sure what Z is complaining about. You got the win. Quit bitching. Rejoice.

Same could be said for Gallant.

Ridiculous after a win. Who cares if Mika yelled at ref, he gonna give him a misconduct?

 

[Chytilmania]

Gallant to Mika at the end:

Ah, f***. Did I just totally accidentally introduce Harry Potter since we’re running out of LotR material?

And the new material shall rise!

 

[bleedblue94]

that gallant-mika exchange was as awkward as zuccarello drilling kreider when he went intentionally offside like 7 years ago

I missed this, what's the story behind it?

 

[bl02]

Holy shit who is that? lol

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Probably mad about Mika legit standing still on center ice for about five seconds after getting up from that hit then getting gifted another easy point while playing like shit for a whole game

Not only was Mika standing there, he was drifting farther and farther away from Kreider and Goodrow who were doing all the board work. If Fox did not decide to pinch, all that board work would've just been an easy turn over to the Sabres and they go to OT.

 

[will1066]

Inb4 others say Laf was invisible. I thought he had a decent game. Wasn't a part of the scoring, but he was really good supporting the forecheck and keeping the play alive. Just let him keep working at it. He might make that "jump" that Joe credited Chytil with, later this season or next.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Did GG think Zibby dove on that hit at center? How could he possibly be mad at the last second assist? Mika was aware of the time on the clock and made the correct snap decision.

 

[mrmovies779]

Holy shit who is that? lol

My next wife

 

[17futurecap]

Would anyone even claim Georgiev at this point

 

[duhmetreE]

When Chytil is skating and swarming like this, he's undeniably one of our most impactful players. The finishing will come. If there's one thing he's excelled at, it's finishing and scoring goals.

I thought all of our kids played better. Laf was engaged as well imo.

Mika is the worst center on the team. That's a big problem.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Holy shit who is that? lol

Bl02 is horny on main

 

[Kravtsov420]

Valiquette eviscerating Georgsiev rn

 

[LokiDog]

Mika, when he forgets to eat protein

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Vally is killing Georgiev. And that's coming from someone who was in his shoes.

 

[LORDE]

Hate to say this but I don't believe that was it for :01 sec

I get the response to that... IF that were what the discussion was about. But it wasn't. No way.

 

[Doctyl]

Heads up play by Lindgren to jump in once the Sabres didn't have enough to counter.

Yea loved seeing both our D below the circles with less than 10 seconds left

 

[NYR94]

Vince asked. It was about Mika complaining to the ref.

 

[mrmovies779]

Inb4 others say Laf was invisible. I thought he had a decent game. Wasn't a part of the scoring, but he was really good supporting the forecheck and keeping the play alive. Just let him keep working at it. He might make that "jump" that Joe credited Chytil with, later this season or next.

He basically spoonfed Chytil an empty net goal tonight..but Chytil flubbed it

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Kreider deserves special recognition. Not only the scoring but he’s just flat out doing his job. He’s filling his PP role, he’s PKing for the first time in the NHL (doing it well too), he’s been great on the forecheck - he’s been carrying play for his line with Mika looking horrible.

All the off-season talk about Kreider needing to be on the 3rd line and traded soon and all he’s done is play some of the best hockey of his career. He looks excellent.
