Post-Game Talk: Destroyed by Veggies

BTW loved that play on the right wall in the o-zone where Zib pulled up 5 feet short a 50/50 puck and tried a poke check

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The OT goal was on Igor but that GTG was Lindgren.

GTG was 100% Igor. He had the puck go through on an unscreened point shot.

Colorado looks like they play a lot of 8-6 games. Fantastic speed on offense but horrible coverage in their end especially after losing a faceoff in their zone.

Avs are 3 amazing players and then not much else.

But even their depth are at least good skaters

You need skaters in today's game. Even the bottom six, 13th forwards need to be able to skate. We've got too many buttermilk biscuits on our KFC team.

He's his own man. Borgen will play like Borgen will play not like Nemeth. Because he's Borgen.



It's too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.

Now I'm hungry.

I do hate to see this one turn into an excuse to bash Fox for no reason. Pretty lame if you ask me

I need kaliyev to start doing a bit more. He's had time to acclimate. I propose flipping Chytil and Trocheck on their lines

Remember we had a hot start. Then sucked for 19 games, now playing well this month. At the end of 82 we’ll be ok.

If they end up OK (which really should have been in the top 3 in the division, not WC2), that means that the hot start was more indicative than the 19 games of sucking. The hot start, they only beat Toronto, every other team they beat were bad. When they sucked, they lost to every team regardless.

I think their real position is somewhere in the middle of the league. Missing the playoffs should not be a surprise.

I need him to start sitting so Berard can get back in.

His skating is among the worst I've ever seen. Ever ever.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

GTG was 100% Igor. He had the puck go through on an unscreened point shot.

It was a rebound that just dropped. Lindgren was covering air.

 

[qwertyaas]

He wasnt even on the ice.

Guess I already have him coasting on backchecks ingrained my head.

When I see MacKinnon or Makar skate, I imagine laying down a Gojira accompaniment track. Chytil? Iron Maiden, for the galloping pace. When I see Fox or in your case Kaliyev skate, I don't know, what's a good Toby Keith song?

 

[Kovalev27]

Our goalie got beat 5 times glove side. 5 on 2.5 expected. Thats almost impossible to overcome. Should have come away with the point but Igor was abysmal

What just transpired was a game where Colorado scored all five times they touched the puck.

The overreactions to this are crazy.

Literally the other times they hit the post

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Borgen plain and simply waited too long to make that pass, and when it was too late he did it anyway. I'm getting tired of Laviolette, Kreider and Zib have made this season hard to recover from and you keep trotting those guys out like there isn't better options. We picked up Kaliyev because he shoots, am i missing something here? Zibanejad hasn't hit the back of the net with a one timer since Harry met Sally, why are we still going to him on the pp? It's over, whatever magic he had in years past isn't there this year, move on. Put Kaliyev on pp1, give it a different look, repeating the same stupid decisions yield the same results.

So we're being led through the nose by a couple of posts? We almost doubled them up in shots.

I’m agreeing with you Colorado scored on every shot felt like the other times they didn’t score they hit the post felt like

I read Breads last shift was around 2:45

This feels like reading a post-mortem.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

It was a rebound that just dropped. Lindgren was covering air.

It was an unscreened shot from 40 feet out right into his midsection, there shouldn't have been a rebound in the first place. You have to either swallow that puck or do whatever you can to glove it or put the rebound anywhere other than in the crease behind you.

 

[SA16]

That is complete fiction unless you are completely neglecting the impact of the timeout. A 2:45 shift at 5v5 with no stoppages is not remotely similar to a 2:00 shift on the PP (plus 45 seconds before/after) with a timeout in between. His real shift when the goal was scored was barely over a minute and pp ice time is far less strenuous than 5v5

He looked off right from puck drop. With Igor you can tell right away if he's locked in or not. His movements looked off and he was slightly off his angle on everything in the first period.

That was just an ass game from him. As you said, when your goalie gives up multiple stoppable goals in a game it's really hard to overcome. And we still have him 4 goals of support, came back from down 2 twice. That game was there to be won even with his shit play.

We should petition the NHL to give us the 2 points

It was, but it's slightly more nuanced than just 'stupid long shift'.
He comes over the boards with around 2:40 left and then the Avs take a penalty at 2:24. Almost immediately there's a 2 min break for the last TV timeout.
PP gets under way and with 1:20 left the puck is frozen, Rangers then take their TO. Another 2 mins worth of break all up.
At 59.7 seconds the puck is frozen again, with the stoppage being around 30 seconds.
Avs score with about 14.7 left.

So around 2.5 mins of TOI, but played over about 7.5 mins

Didn't realize there was a timeout. My bad for going by a Twitter post

With that said maybe having an excuse for how he skated on the last goal would be a good thing. If he wasn't spent than he really mailed it in.
