Post-Game Talk: devils @ Rangers -- 4/15/21

[Raspewtin]

PDG is completely out of lineup and Kravtsov is starting on the forth line. How do you see it's possible to rearrange the lineup to bring in PDG - on Chytil's line - and move Lafreniere away?

I said "with someone better than PDG". As in, try some similar players in the role.

Missed it.

Kreider I guess from what's available.

Yeah my best guess too. I'd even try Gauthier there if we ever bring him back. Which I doubt at this point.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

At this point next season, Miller will have more points than McDavid, Draisaitl and Matthews.

You lyin' bastid.

 

[True Blue]

Gauthier is going to, in very short order, become a victim of the numbers game trough no fault of his own.

 

[Off Sides]

Not sure Gauthier losing to Howden at Yahtzee should determine which one plays.

Short order. Mf’r hasn’t played a game in weeks. What do you guys think? I think he brings more than Howden at this point. Maybe.

Maybe Howden is the homegrown plan to be the checking line shut down center/winger ...has the size and not bad on draws and kills penalties for what...a million /year? He is still only 23 . Was looking at his stats..they certainly have dipped since his first season here . Not getting Lowry now....signed with Jets today for 5 years....16 million . I guess not many 4th line guys score 20....

Perhaps. I really don’t think he has even been that good in the shutdown role. I remember seeing, statistically, he was our worst pker. That point held true when he was out- our pk was on fire- we had a string where we didn’t give up a pp goal.

yes- maybe the price. I don’t know.

I want Vally to interview Blackwell and see who blinks first

This is such a great observation. I laughed out loud when I read this.

Im following the narrative here that they bagskate lines, maybe together

No, only the illustrious .477 Calgary Flames bag-skate.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm not the one who posts charts after every game who then points out that no conclusions can be drawn from them. You're the only poster here that I know of who often doesn't watch the game but then tells people that it wasn't a good game if they think it was.

It annoys you when I post things that poke fun at the stupidity of the charts that can have factoids like Howden had a better game than Panarin.

If I annoy you that much, you're probably best off putting me on ignore or you can keep insulting me. Either way is fine with me.

There's only one poster here who annoys me so much that I've had him on ignore for about a year. Much better not seeing his terminal negativity. You should try it.

I'm going to keep insulting you.

Do you remember when Hughes was being developed the "right" way and Kakko was not?

Yup pretty hilarious

The 4th best pk'er on one of the best pk's in the league doesn't mean he's bad at it.
