Post-Game Talk: Constellation of Constipation

[bl02]

I know it's only been a few games but Vesey will end up on the 4th line soon again. Edstrom hopefully here to stay. Kid does not look out of place. Good for Rempe but he's not staying up here for long.

I agree. Led to two drawn penalties. What a difference it makes when you actually engage along the boards and try to win a battle.

Now just needs to rip those shots in the slot area vs passing it off every damn time.

 

[will1066]

Yeah, what's been going on with that? I haven't seen anything about it.

Better do this while the gettin is good

None of those ended up becoming shots though so how does that effect their lack of finishing.

Blowing opportunities by overpassing. Same difference.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Oh and thank god Fanduel locked me out because I was about to drop some cash on Stankoven to score, and he didn’t even end up playing .

 

[TheDirtyH]

This is 100% of the post game content I was looking for.

Also nobody mentioning Joe absolutely no-scoping the Kakko-Bell Take

 

[Unpredictable1]

We used to be friends. What happened?

Well ya haven't called since you started goin with that new squeeze.


lol

 

[NYR94]

yeah why didn't Stankoven play?

 

[Unpredictable1]

I agree. Led to two drawn penalties. What a difference it makes when you actually engage along the boards and try to win a battle.

He's warming up for MikaMarch.

It's just around the corner!

 

[bobbop]

I wouldn't. They'd kill us.

Yee of little faith

 

[eco's bones]

I understand why Laviolette cuts short the ice time of some of our more physical young forwards as the game goes on---well maybe not so much Cuylle but Edstrom and Rempe were really working over the Dallas defense in the first. Their forwards were still flitting around but another couple periods of dealing with those two guys and the Dallas defense might have been putting up the white flag. Some of those hits were real thumpers.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I thought it was his best game in a while. He did make those two bad 2 on 1 passes in a row at the end, but before that he was shooting! And he was engaging, not just throwing the puck away when someone sneezed near him.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Again with the finishing. We didn't have one good look the last 30 minutes of that game and Kakko's goal should have been stopped. I don't know what games you guys watch sometimes.

Not a terrible game by any stretch, but finishing was not an issue.

I don't agree with the finishing take either but just off the dome, trocheck's short handed chance that miller set up?

I’m just gonna keep posting this-

Kakko and laf were two of our best forwards tonight.

I wonder how many trade Igor posts we will see now. Or is quick out starter? Idiots lol

People are idiots because they got on him for having a shitty season but not idiots for gloating after 1 game?

 

[Rangers in 7]

He’s won 4 in a row and his GAA is 2.25

Yeah I think trading him and anointing quick our starter is for idiots

 

[Clark Kellogg]

yeah why didn't Stankoven play?

Still owes Rempe money from their time in the Western Hockey League.

 

[Reijo29]

All of a sudden the whiners are whining less. Igor was fantastic tonight. Kakko is playing well. I like Rempe. Vesey is not a first line winger, that’s the trade they need to make and put Vesey where he’s more valuable.

 

[Unpredictable1]

I agree, he willingly went into traffic with imminent physical contact without hesitation these last couple games. Almost like he was inviting it.

Hope this continues.

4 games is still a tiny sample size compared to the rest of his season. He's still hovering around 0.900. I don't want to shit on the guy but you're calling people idiots for their displeasure with a goalie playing well below his potential and are gloating about a nice 4 games, one of which he gave up 5 goals in.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I feel like Dallas is probably a little better than Colorado overall, and I am not sold on Vancouver (yet). So I'd say Dallas is probably the best team out there.

Vegas is the team to beat out there until someone takes them down.

Only one of those 5 goals against could be considered soft. If you want to pick and choose sure, have at it horse.

I’ll still say you’d be an idiot for wanting to ride a 38 year old quick in a playoff run

And this season (where you’ll find many top goalies having bad numbers) is a tiny sample size compared to:

 

[Unpredictable1]

Lets all have a cold one and enjoy this win! LGR

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Nice to have you back, Igor. What a game from him. I think he's finally past his struggles. He was locked in, tracking everything all game, solid movements, sharp reads all game.

Dallas got a lot of shots and Igor came up huge but that was a good win overall. Dallas is a really good team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

And this season (where you’ll find many top goalies having bad numbers) is a tiny sample size compared to:

Last season he sucked most of the season. He had a great Vezina year and a great dozen or so games to start his career. Otherwise he was basically Georgiev last year, good but not great. Outside of this year he has shown plenty of signs of not being a top goalie mentally.
