Post-Game Talk: Clinch

[egelband]

Trocheck is 3 assists away from 50.

Really nice season for him. One of the guys I'd look to rest down the stretch. He has played A LOT this year.

Good point. Absolutely something they should do. Even multiple games for him.

 

[egelband]

That was a beauty on the shorty. I agree he's struggled at times this year but I don't think he's been as bad as many here have said. I think he's had a lot of bad puckluck this year but hopefully that will change soon.

He has been bad offensively at even strength but he has been good otherwise I think. I don’t have much complaint about him and Kreider. They’re together for a reason. I’ve come to accept they won’t be an offensive force at even strength but they’re good otherwise. Worlds greatest third line.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

I took the under...was sitting pretty til the 3rd.

I went with Fox ppp. Got lucky that it worked on the 1 pp chance we got even though we should have had at least 4.

It was a win. But no way should they ice this defense again.

Forwards were far worse than the Defense.

My favorite part of the game was Vesey interview after 1st period.

When she was going on about how well the Rangers had played that period, Vesey gave an Oscar-worthy performance by not asking her if she was insane.

Congratulations to the lads! Looking forward to seeing what these guys do in the playoffs next month.

Michelle Gingras is not very good.

I really liked that Mika talked about first place mattering to them and about wanting to remove Carolina from that perch after the game.

 

[Chytilmania]

They showed a stat last game the Rangers were winless at home when down 2 goals. That’s now back to back wins at home going down 0-2.

 

[aufheben]

I mean, they really kind of played a bad one tonight, and I'm not really harping on it.

They're entitled to one after a good stretch and, as I've mentioned, the Flyers aren't a matchup I'm crazy about for stylistic reasons.

I enjoyed the game.

I’d feel confident against the Flyers or Capitals. I don’t even know how the Capitals are in a playoff position.

Sam is awesome but boomers had Jim Gordon. Sam took over in the 1980s.

And had The Big Whistle.

Eat it, Gritty

Replay clearly indicates an offside. No goal.

 

[bhamill]

Ok but the point stands! My dad is a boomer and he loves Sam.

I just asked him and he remembers Jim Gordon.

I’m just about 62 and I’ve been watching NYR since you could only see road games on ch9 broadcast TV. I’m talking 1967. Hahaha. I certainly remember Jim Gordon, and I too love Sam. Jim had Bill Chadwick for a long while. It was entertaining. Hahaha.

 

[DialUp]

The defense last night was absolutely atrocious, even Fox was out of sorts. Miller and Schneider looked OK but not sure what the stats tell you. Scanlin was a level 1 bard that somehow stumbled into Mordor. Roslovic was absolute butt and should be the next one to sit.

Offensively the Rangers figured it out, but goodness every Flyer goal was telegraphed in slow motion.

On one of the goals in the 3rd, Laf has the puck in the O zone and was peeling back to the blue line. Instead of passing to the point man, he went too far and drop passed it to Fox who was forced to get it and got himself pinched too deep. Immediately went the other way for an odd man rush goal against. Bonehead plays all night.

They still won. Hockey is cruel

 

[eco's bones]

The Rangers shootout record 2-3 isn't great but otherwise they are 10-0 in the 5 minute overtime period.

Congrats to Artemi with his 100th point. A pretty wild game though. Took us a while to wake up. The Flyers were regularly getting behind our D and you can't blame any of the goals really on Igor. The Rempe blocked shot reminds me of Ortmeyer. That guy was nuts.

 

[GG96]

Really have to start games better. This isn’t going to cut it in the playoffs

 

[Gardner McKay]

Lafreniere continues to be a monster.

But man. As good as he is, imagine if we had traded him for Josh Anderson when we had the chance. That 6'3 powerhouse with a super reasonable $5+ mil contract and the 8 goals he brings to the table... we would have already clinched the president's trophy.



I will never let that stupidity from the main boards go away.

 

[Larrybiv]

Some really dumb mistakes. I'm looking at you Vesey. Still won despite 4 guys being out. I'll take it.

Vesey wasn't the ONLY one, although his was the most egregious. One stupid decision and as far as I can remember, the only one that resembled that.

 

[JRinNYC]

Yeah, Rangers need to play a full 60 minutes!

They lost to San Jose in OT.

 

[ecemleafs]

It's a Cup

Yes

I'm 50 & have seen this team be favs, underdogs, also rans, & for MANY years NOTHING

So yeah. I don't care about beating the Flyers in OT after giving up 5 goals

I care about the playoffs

Enjoy the 5 goals we gave up to that team lol

Then don't bother following the team from October through March. Only April may and June for u!

 

[Larrybiv]

Ha ha. Funny incident on the F train going home after the game. Bunch of Rangers fans, specifically boys with their dad they get off the train and there is one Flyer fan and he yells 1994. I look at the Flyers game and tell him really? You’re going to go there when it’s been since 1975? He shuts up and leaves the subway. Then the train operator opens his door and is like was that a Flyers fan who was butthurt from losing, I responded back Yup. The whole car cracks up. Let’s Go Rangers!!

If that kid wants to pull that crap, he had better go to Toronto.

 

[ecemleafs]

Idk what the stats say on jones performance but he seemed to be the ranger that had the puck the most in the game. Got robbed of a what would have been a great goal by the flyers goalies glove. Whenever one is back I want jones still in the lineup.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Well what would you like them to do? Three of the regulars are hurt.

Point taken but they were bad.

 

[TGWL]

I saw we have a US team doctor visiting Colorado. Hopefully he can prescribe Roslovic something to stop the allergic reaction to physical contact...
