Post-Game Talk: Carbery Bunny

[Machinehead]

At least Glass played in an era where teams still carried tough guys. Not that he did much of that, but that's neither here nor there.

The era of the NHL where you carry a non-NHL player to kill penalties ended 30 years ago.

Also, someone needs to tell Mika every time he tries to one time from that spot, and it goes wide, it's a free clear. Fox can't abandon the middle of the ice on the blue line to anticipate Zibs shanking one wide, even though we all know there's a 95% it's going wide.

I don't understand why Mika needs an orbital windup to shoot off the pass. Ovi used to pot them from there with less than half the windup AND you're more accurate with less of a windup.

 

[Machinehead]

I wasn't able to give the game my complete attention: did Kakko get moved off of the Kreider-Zbad line at some point? Or did he just get a handful of post powerplay shifts away from them or something?

Some reason that he was able to put up 13/10 (CF/CA) while the gentiles were 5/11 and 4/11 respectively.

Yeah, it was a lot of post-powerplay because Lavi kept feeding the other clowns 2 full minutes even though they weren't scoring.

The problem is Zibanejad. Kreider-Brodzinski-Cuylle had like 69 shot attempts the other night.

Certain posters always come in immediately after a loss to defend the play to their last breath but do not show up after wins

They have nothing to defend if they win?

 

[Leonardo87]

@EdJovanovski thanks for doing the GDT, have RL crap going on the last few days and was not able to get the GDT up for today.

Anyway missed the game. A win is a win. Which was needed.

 

[Machinehead]

Zibanejad hasn't scored a goal in 7 games.

When he's not shooting hot, this is what he is.

Granted, he's this when he is shooting hot but we get 2 goals out of it so I think people notice less.

That type of goal generation is useful but he has way too big of a role. He should be effectively the 3C at even strength.

 

[duhmetreE]

Id play Kreider with Goodrow at this point.

Dont care anymore. Split the bromance.

I wouldn't mind Kreider Goodrow Cuylle.

put Zibs with Vesey and Wheeler. Not getting 5v5 from Zibs anyway.

 

[JRinNYC]

So why does the team look like they forgot everything Laviolette told them the first 25 games? Despite the win today

It’s as if once the calendar hit 2024 the whole team got amnesia and forgot how to play hockey.

 

[Mike in Houston]

I think they should just wear their thirds until they lose.

They're annoying because their only role is to come here and push back on any negativity like it's not justified and invading their sanctity.

If and when Chytil is back he should absolutely be put in the role you’ve been saying he should be in. Just put him with two defensive players and let them do whatever. Put Kreider with Chytil and Kakko or a trade acquisition. Then we might have two lines that can score At 5v5.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

This team is dogshit fr no cap.

Waive Soybeanejad

 

[17futurecap]

Send Bonino to waivers, and hope a team from the eastern conference claims him.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lafreniere has earned a legitimate look on the powerplay. I don't know why you wouldn't want that entire Panarin line on the same unit at this point.

Can’t hurt Soybean’s feelings

 

[SML2]

We are lucky bounces all went our way for majority of the first half of the season. Right now, I feel like we aren't much better than Toronto, who is a one line team with a dominant power play. That is going to be a big problem in the playoffs where you aren't going to get half the call you get in the regular season.

 

[Reijo29]

Zib is a star. He’s probably the best trade they e ever made. The way he’s out down on here is shameful. Absolutely shameful

 

[Breaded Fox]

Coincidence that we snap the losing streak when Kakko returned to the lineup? I think not.

Have a photo of Emily as a reward of your post.

Damn bro....you blew up my pic. I had that saved in my future avatar file. Let everyone enjoy it then. Fine

If they have him in the right role, he’s a massive cheat code especially if he catches a God mode streak in the playoffs.

 

[mas0764]

Kakko back, team wins.

 

[HonestGabe]

Bonino is on the shortlist of worst players to play for the Rangers since the lockout. Here's the whole list:

I don't care what his role is or that he doesn't play a lot. In the 8-9 minutes he plays, the other team is getting half their offense.

In typical Rangers fashion, we got the guy 6 years after he was actually good

Yup. Panarin line with Kreider in front and Fox up top. Simples

 

[Clark Kellogg]

 

[mike14]

I only saw the last period because I decided after yesterday's efforts it wasn't worth getting up early again, but while being the better team our defensive positioning was still somewhere between 'poor' and 'non-existent'...

 

[LOFIN]

What's stopping you to still use it?

He just shouldn’t even take it in general. The point -> half-wall one timer isn’t high percentage anymore . You have to absolutely launch it to beat a goalie from there off a non cross ice pass. Fox set him up for a good one late in the game where the pass traveled far enough for Lindgren to have trouble sliding over but Zibs shot got blocked.
