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

[gravey9]

Boo Ruff. He stopped more goals than Blackwood.

Kravy is looking very good out there.

Chytil was a little off today and I think it effected that whole line. I think he's a bit banged up.

Kreider looks like Howden right now. I mean it's crazy how huge his peaks and valleys are at this point in his career.

The Devils are not just bad right now, they're small and lack structure. After trading Zajac and Palmieri the Devils are missing their grit and deftness.

It was nice to see the Rangers get an early lead (REALLY early) and keep it for the whole game.

Panarin is the best Rangers forward since Mark Messier. Already passed Jagr. Dude racks up multi point games in his sleep. Just needs a Cup at this point and he’s a Ranger legend.

It really sucks were basically wasting last year and this one for him

I was honestly surprised that Jagr had fewer points than Messier in his first 100 games. But Jagr played some of those in the DPE (though most came in the relatively high scoring 05-06season) and Messier played in a higher scoring era.

Valiquette who? 2 now, 1 to go.
He ain't got nothing in me! Lol.
Woohoo. Shame Boston is trying to hang on. Give it up already.

Can’t control when the man was gonna be a FA. Gotta get him when you can and the Rangers did.

 

[chosen]

We won. Why do you have to start in?

All the chart says is that, based on shot locations, the Rangers had a better scoring chance differential with Howden on the ice than with Panarin on the ice, again, probably because the game was over for about 50 minutes of play. Despite that, Panarin basically made three goals by himself and nobody is suggesting you ignore that.

You post a graphic that doesn't seem to be illustrative of much of anything. I look at it and point out something silly about it.

If you don't want me to comment about it, don't post it or just accept that I'll comment on it. No reason for you to be troubled by it.

That's the way a place like this works.

Lindy is a real ass clown for challenging that goal in a 4-0 game. Hopefully Kravtsov takes it personally and pops in three on Saturday.

The Devils look like children on the ice. They are really testing the limits of small and skilled. Big and lumbering ain’t gonna work but you need your guys to at least be man sized. That team might be bad for awhile.

 

[doomscroll]

Trouba is good

No, it's not "a place like this" it's just you.

It's always just you.

Someone was talking about Gretzky in the GDT. I had no idea that his best man was Eddie Mio - so random.

Ooooo Vally saying the get along gang pretty much is phased out.

Time for my favorite part of the evening. A glass of wine, some lube and the Devil's GDT/PGT

 

[Anthony5967]

This is actually pretty crazy. And yea, with stuff like this, it’s save to say Quinn will be behind the bench on opening night next year.

 

[bl02]

Kravtsov looks a million times better then Lafreniere and Kakko. I wonder if he will be the best of the 3.

KHL seasoning. It made a world of a difference for his overall game. If he comes over directly to the nhl to start the year no way he looks even close to as good as he's looked. He's forced DQ to keep him in the lineup because his overall game is good. Best thing that could have happened to Kravy was start in the KHL and not here. I have no doubt.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah, that's why I usually don't post the game score. It's more formula-based and harder to point to things and say "look, this happened."

And it doesn't matter, the same people would take game score be like "Di Giuseppe has a 0.7 but I've been watching hockey for 69 hundred years and he should have a 0.6 based on MY EYES so math should be abolished and I'm really mad now even thought we won 8-0."

literally half of that is from the 2 philly games

Yeah, the Rangers will totally point to this and convince themselves they got hosed even though this entire stat is literally three games.

 

[Anthony5967]

Shhhhhhh

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Got to see the game live. What a treat - team played well.

You guys are gonna hate this, but other than Panarin, I thought Jack Hughes was the best skater on the ice for either team. He’s really really good. Once he puts on more muscle and improves his shot he’ll put up 100 in this league one day.

 

[Calad]

The shots by Valiquette at tony D in the post game was pretty great

Lmao. Quinn’s job is secure because of this, Panarin, And Fox.

 

[mas0764]

These are kinda f***in wonky because the game was over after 10 minutes, but nice bounceback game from Foxxy Grandpa.

The kid line and Kakko specifically has had a few bad games in a row I think.
