I don't think Shesty is as bad as people are making it out. He's getting hung out a lot by his defensemen

It's those southeast to northwest passes that have been far too open. below the goal line to the slot.

Back to winning ugly again. Better than losing pretty.

 

[DanielBrassard]

That was an eventful last 30 minutes or so. Gotta be a lot sharper than that if you are gonna beat good teams. But it was a 2nd of a back-to-back and they won. Just clean it up Tuesday.

We're still much better now, wonky as we are, than we were in October last year.

Look, they don't look great but we doubled them up in shots. This isn't like last year when we were getting doubled up in shots.

Highlight of the game for me

Coyotes announcer 1: WOW, Hayton has be great at the faceoff dot tonight. Even though he hasn't scored any points this year he's been great at faceoffs, he's 10 and 2 tonight
Coyotes announcer 2: Steering wheel!! ::awkward pause:: You know 10 and 2.

I'll say it again, if we had Halak in net, we likely lose this game. Igor didn't need to make a ton of saves, but he made some big ones for sure when the game was tied and when we had the lead.

This is why you play your all-star goalie, you need to make sure you get these points vs bad teams. Halak can play games when our offense is back to normal and scoring buckets of goals.

Carpenter Reaves combo needs to die

one or the other. never both

Schneider had a few great plays defensively. Stronger game from him

It'd be nice to get Chytil back next game.

Maybe it's time to try some different pairs?

Rangers are 5-0-2 with Igor in net

Rangers are 0-3 with Halak in net

What else needs to be said ?

Laf needs to adjust his game to be a shooter. Scored one tonight but could have had a couple more.

 

[Kocur26]

LaFreniere scored. It’s nice to see the 4th liners chipping in .

 

[PuckLuck3043]

10 games in and they have played 3 back to backs. I mean WTF?

Can’t overload Shesty he will wear down . They may need to trade for a back up if Halak is not trustworthy.

 

[hackeyman]

I voted for Halak. I thought he was great on the bench !

 

[will1066]

5-3-2 looks a lot better than 4-4-2, I'll tell you. Good thing is lots of contending teams have had sputtering starts like us

Same score as the game against the Coyotes in Arizona last year but we looked completely different. That game we looked disinterested. We weren't amazing today but outside of the beginning of the first and third we did not look disinterested. We're outplaying most of the teams we play. Our record isn't great and we've lost to some bad teams but reading this board you'd think we're horrible. And as always I contribute to that stuff too and am calling myself out as well.

Our schedule has been so weird so far bunch of games with multiple days of rest in-between and then multiple back to backs.

When Chytil is back hopefully Reaves is scratched

 

[irishlaxburger2]

When Chytil is back hopefully Reaves is scratched

…but how about Kakko?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

…but how about Kakko?

Why would Kakko be scratched?

expectations change.

We lost to CLB and SJS. If we won those games or even split them, the collective tone would have been different.
