Did Mika play tonight? Sad when you dont notice him against a weaker less talented opponent? Kreider was noticable as was Smith. Mika’s best days are behind him. 6 more years
don't have energy to have any thoughts on this besides Mika is lucky Aaron Judge exists or my shitlist would have him at an untoppable #1 rn.
Agree. The goal Anaheim scored came petty much as a direct result of Mika lazily missing a breakout pass. The pass gets past Mika to the ducks player coming the other way back at the rangers and bing, bang, boom, goal.I'm not a guy who likes to get on individual players when they're not playing well, but Mika is just lost out there. He doesn't seem to be doing anything with purpose, speed or decisiveness. Those last 90 seconds felt like he was trying to help Anaheim tie it up. Just brutal plays in his own end, losing faceoffs and puck battles.
I don't know what has happened to his game but it's very concerning.
On a positive note, the piles getting clowned by Florida after taking a 3-0 lead was entertaining.

Yeah. I thought Kreider was fine and especially when he played with Chytil for a bit at one point.Did Mika play tonight? Sad when you dont notice him against a weaker less talented opponent? Kreider was noticable as was Smith. Mika’s best days are behind him. 6 more years
Rangers were all over them and they bent but didn’t break. Pretty scrappy bunch. And a lot of talent bubbling up too.The Ducks look like they have a really bright future. I liked the way most of their young’s guns played, most notably Carlsson, McTavish, Mintyukov, and Zellweger. Zegras was totally unnoticeable.
He seems fine to me. I see the mistakes but he’s also push the attack which I like. He hasn’t broken out yet but I’m hopeful he will do so soon and the mistakes will be just a side note.Damn, I keep coming to these threads and seeing "Miller so bad" kinda takes yet he had the second lowest xGA among our Dmen, and the highest xGF.
They had an AHL defense and zero offensive threats.
