The joke on here has always been that if we won the Cup in 7 people would be in the PGT complaining that we should have done it in 6...

That would absolutely happen on here.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I think you just refuted your own point lmao.

Lol they don't have league average goaltending, stop it.

7th in the league in GSAx via Evolving-Hockey for Igor at 15.75, Halak is 1.76 GSAx. Far from league average.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Goaltending is mediocre, the team actually plays pretty good defense despite what people say. And I will admit Igor's good on high danger chances but gives up softies all the friggin time, it's infuriating. Also Igor is above average but not by a lot and Halak is below average for the most part despite playing better and being on a 6 game winning streak. Georgiev had similar streak last year and was awful.

You don't have the 3rd lowest GA in the league with Mediocre goaltending, once again, stop it.

the biggest difference in Igor's game this year vs last year is PK.

He straight up carried it last year. He hasn't done that this year.

He's also sucked at home which is weird.

I stopped reading at Igor is above average but not by a lot.You have some unrealistic views about goalies

Give Igor the Carolina road game this weekend, he will sleep better Friday night in the hotel.

Krav does have a flair for the dramatics, I think this season might all be a buildup to him coming out of nowhere in the playoffs to put on one of his signature dominant playoff performances and win the Conn Smythe

With what team?

 

[Machinehead]

"Our goaltending is bad!"

NHL scoring in 2023:

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Most boring 4-3 game I ever attended.

 

[CLW]

Horrible but a win, thats cool.

Only for trained masochists but oh well

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Krav does have a flair for the dramatics, I think this season might all be a buildup to him coming out of nowhere in the playoffs to put on one of his signature dominant playoff performances and win the Conn Smythe

Remember when he was going to outscore both Laf and Kakko?

Laf has matched Krav's production this year in his last 6 games. Kakko has more points in his last 7 than Krav has all season lmao.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Shesterkin is 22-8 with a .918 save % and 2.45GA. Those are good numbers. It's hard to duplicate what he did last year. The 3rd goal he allowed was trash though.

He should have a save % of above .920 and I'd say closer to .925. I never expected him to have a .935 this season. Look at Sorokin he's consistent. Oh yeah, he has 5 shutouts while Shesterkin has 1.

 

[Fitzy]

That would absolutely happen on here.

Message boards aren't built for celebrations- dancing, embracing, fireworks.

They work better for impartial discussions, but complaining is easier to put into words than praise sometimes.

Might explain the discrepancy in positive/negative posting

This season, yes. 0.918 is not that amazing, even in today's NHL.

You would have lost your head if Igor lost 7 of 8 last month like Sorokin did.

 

[Kodiak]

The third pairing was horrendous and the fourth line is completely useless. Blais and Cuylle will hit when given the opportunity, but that’s about it. None of them are adding anything to the team. So let’s say it’s late in a game and you want to spell some of your forwards that are weaker defensively (Panarin and Lafreniere) to protect the lead. How would you do that with this fourth line? They are all worse defensively than our worst forwards in the top nine.

 

[mike14]

Vesey with the most 5v5 TOI among forwards for the 2nd time in the last 3 games (also against Vegas).
I thought he had a good game but surprised to see that

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Honestly that Flames game was fun enough to make up for two of these. Maybe not three.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Sorokin's team is far worse than the Rangers. I'm not completely denying that though because we were all not happy with Halak early on even though some of the games he lost just because the team in front of him couldn't score.

Some criticism is warranted but some of this board is bat shit crazy with what they complain about. This is a very good team that is 18-4-3 over the least 2 months and have beat plenty of playoff teams in that stretch. That's pretty damn good.

Remember when he was going to outscore both Laf and Kakko?

Laf has matched Krav's production this year in his last 6 games. Kakko has more points in his last 7 than Krav has all season lmao.

I bet him on that but I forgot what the bet was for.

John Taffer voice, shut it the f*** down.

On NaturalStatTrick, they all had 0% xGF, except for Blais.

The 3rd pairing and 4th line will look different in 3 weeks.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sorokin's team is far worse than the Rangers. I'm not completely denying that though because we were all not happy with Halak early on even though some of the games he lost just because the team in front of him couldn't score.

He also lost 5 in a row from Late November to early December where he gave up 5,3,5 and 2 goals (twice, one of the games was on 20 shots.)

The 5 shutouts actually go against the consistency angle btw.

Yeah his team sucks defensively, but he hasn't been "so" much better.

He also wore the f*** down and sucked ass at the end of last year and I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again this year.

 

[markymarc1215]

Another strong game and points for each Kid Line member. Chytil is just in the zone now and both KK and Laf are benefitting from Chytil's confidence as a driver of that line. KK is a different player this year and I am thrilled for him. Just needs to shoot the puck.

Next up, Jimmy Vesey surpasses Panarin's goal total! Coming soon.

 

[Lion Hound]

Garland, Miller, Podkolzin.

The three players mentioned most in rumors with Vancouver in the past 2 seasons on the Roster building thread all get on the board tonight for the Canucks.

They have some issues to overcome but I think you can already see some of Tocchet coming through with that team. They didn’t give up. They keep fighting back. I think he will elevate the compete level on that club.

Big night for K’Andre. 3 helpers. Love to see it. Drury, having to get him to sign for less… He doesn’t love to see it.

Lafreniere stole Troubas goal. but if that’s what it takes to keep momentum then so be it!

Trocheck and Kreider got it going. Until Trocheck almost killed him. Get these guys a RW already. If the Rangers play the Devs, this line may be the most important role. Especially if Meier goes to the Devs And plays with Hughes. #16 owned the face off circle tonight. 75% on the night.

Kakko in the corners, digging pucks and making plays. Blows my mind this kid still gets heat.

Sorry Chytil, you were robbed by mr official tonight. Another really strong performance. 18Mons with with PP1, and he can be a PPG producer. With that said he need to work on those face offs. He was 1 for 8 against the Flames. Tonight he was 2 for 5.

Every game at some point I say to myself this Zibanejad Panarin combo just doesn’t really work. They they come out with a shift, score a goal and make me think they just need more time together.

Trouba follows up his amazing physical performance by getting himself 2 helpers Tonight. Keep it up Capt!

Did Cuylle get benched?

4th line needs help.
