Post-Game Talk: dog

[egelband]

We keep talking about moving CK or Trouba for cap relief… But it’s crazy talk considering how well they’ve played this year.

We need an ignore feature for any posts that suggest trading Trouba, Kreider, Mika, or Panarin. Not happening.

Shesterkin is the best puck handling goalie I've ever seen. Maybe Brodeur challenges him to it but the dude legit handles the puck better practically all of our skaters. Was he this good in Russia?

It's a true thing of beauty. We're so fortunate, it can singlehandedly change the complexion of the game. To a lesser degree we used to see it with Talbot back when he played here - he was a far better puck handler than Hank.

Couldn’t watch the game…how did Chychrun play!

O/U 2.5 weeks before he’s a Ranger?

Beyond it's practical purposes it's entertaining AF. I feel like I see fewer puck handling goalies than I did but maybe I don't watch closely when it's not a Rangers goalie.

Seriously. This team is lost without them.

How come Kakko was a scratch? Injured or "educational"?

 

[Chimpradamus]

The offense is fine, the defense is not. They look like they're following Vigneault's book of defense out there, it's horrendeus. Nemeth had a terrible game - again. Why does he keep getting chances, he needs to sit for someone else. Jones, Lundkvist, anyone. No, not Tinordi.

I don't think Donnie is capable... biologically

Transphobe

1. Kreider
2. Tuba
3. Panarin

Voted McKegg as a placeholder for Miller.

Damn DeAngelo has 5 primary points his last 2 games then

Not going to lie, but it’s hard not to ponder where we would be as a team if we still had TDA.

And Buch. And Fast. And maybe even Hayes (would you deem Strome an upgrade in hindsight?)

trading Hayes was the right move his contract is bad

We're left to wait for Strome's one

. Giving Hayes a big contract would have probably led to trading Kreider. Would you have rather done that?

Let's not get too far into the realm of what ifs.
I'm not saying Hayes is the missing piece, more that it sure as hell looks neither is Strome.

. Never said Strome was either. I think Strome is fine for what he is. I’ve wanted another center for years either through draft or trade. However I’m not upset we traded Hayes since it got us Trouba

Yeah that outcome is good. But center-wise they're at square 1.

Banked some points, beat up on a team we should have beat up on, got a hatty for CK, hopefully allowed GG to discover that Panarin-Zib-CK can be a thing.
Pretty good night
Start was horrendous again and something we really need to work on
Pretty sure that Gallant knew that all along. But it really shouldn't be "a thing". They need to be separated to balance the lineup, but I have I have no problem pairing them when they really need a g o a l.

CK, Trouba and Mika for my top-3

For the first time ever, these two are more than earning their money. So who cares about cap relief? To do what? To spend it on who?

 

[Larrybiv]

As someone who has been one of Kreider’s biggest supporters here (if not the biggest) for years, I’m feeling pretty swell tonight.

Me to @bobbop ! 29 after tonights performance. 40 should be a breeze, barring anything bad.
1. Easy "garbage goals" will happen
2. Awesome "tip ins" are his mantra
3. The occasional breakaway goal
4. The occasional mean wrister down the wing will count as well.
5. The PPG's from the above will be there with Fox orchestrating.

50 goals IS a possibility, now that he has finally found that consistency. Thank you God!

UBI.

Yep. And we got Strome for nada. The only one that really hurts is ADA, since we got nothing in return. Not even a pick.

 

[Larrybiv]

I had Mika over Gauthier but I’m thinking I should have given Gauthier the vote.

You do know you can change it......right?
