Post-Game Talk: craps @ RANGERS

[SnowblindNYR]

I was about to commend you but this is still kind of a backhanded compliment

I mean he didn't deserve a "great game", with nothing else. That goal was one of the worst of the season given up and if the Rangers didn't play as well as they did in the 3rd it could have been a game changer. That said as I said B+/A- overall. He was great otherwise.

Miller was also matched up with the Ovechkin line a lot. When you play the shutdown defense role, it's going to take a hit on your xG numbers.

Context is King

Miller's play is concerning.

What the f*** does Quinn tell young players?

Is this relative or on ice?

Every goalie gives up soft goals.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The "otherwise" part is huge though. That's why he was good outside of this one big f*** up.

I get it but he's been giving up too many of them this season.

Anyway, good team game. I'm happy to see Laf score. Mika, I'm not jumping for joy over an empty net goal.

On-ice adjusted, I believe.

When Fox and Ovechkin were both on the ice, the Caps had xGF% of 13.44. The Rangers had 64% of the shots.

Adam Fox is like 5'7" and still managed to fit Ovechkin in his pocket.

That was a good clean win. Or it was just a win. Either way. Take it.

Quinn doesn’t look morose for once.

 

[SRHRangers]

I mean, did he look good?

I admittedly only saw one period but he spent that period not being able to leave his own zone.

Miller in the first 2 periods recovery against forwards trying to go outside on him was impressive.

Wiped out Kutznesov.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I feel like Strome has started to look pretty good for a handful of games now.

He was clowned by Oshie, and Orlov crushed him when he tried to stick handle in the o-zone. But he was at least solid most of the time.

Kakko was invisible today. BUST

 

[gravey9]

Is it just me or is COVID hockey pretty mediocre hockey?

But I will say, the D system is so great to see. To win like that and not have the goalie stand on his head for it to happen it's pretty amazing.

The three stars were almost impossible to pick because most everyone made some pretty strong small plays all over the ice.

I love that none of our D are looking bad. They're not getting exposed like they have been for so many years.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Buch was awesome from the 2nd period onwards.

Mika still sucked. Kreider wasn't much better. I vacillate between loving and hating Rooney on a shift by shift basis 5v5, but he really is a great PK'er.

Blackwell is still my homie. Howden sucks.

The end.

Do you think Fox wasn’t good today?
