what did brook say?

"Mika has done absolutely shit. Absolutely shit. I am spot on."

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Lafreniere was MADE for the playoffs. And I absolutely knew he’d be electric during the playoffs. You see how much he steps up in big games. The Rangers better make him captain for next season.

Name checks out.

You ain’t wrong tho

 

[SnowblindNYR]

All we needed to be competitive is for Crosby to be hurt and we're still tied at 3.

Pretty much what that post said but with more words and he gets paid to write it

Laf is making everyone eat crow with his play this series. Laf, Miller, Chytil, Kakko are far and away the best Rangers with Laf being the best of the best.

 

[NikC]

YES!!!!

Currently ignoring my GFs texts because I'm busy scolding 21 men who play ice hockey on the internet.

I will never stop.

They'll never understand...

what did brook say?

Basically he has contributed nothing thru 3 games (i believe article was written after game 3). He has actually been worse since that article

 

[EdJovanovski]

Forcefeed Mika some cow during intermission

 

[gravey9]

For the entire season, I would feel fairly confident going into the third tied. But with the way Igor is looking and our first line, it's really hard to feel that way. If we win it'll have to be the kid line, miller, panarin and copp who step up and make it happen.

 

[will1066]

Offensive powerhouse my ass. They were 16th in GF and 2nd in GA. The defense and goaltending has let them down. Igor was good the first 2 games but the last 3. Woof.

You'll go to the ends of the earth to defend/excuse these forwards. I don't want to debate with you.

 

[WATTAGE4451]

You can’t start Georgiev unless Shesty is legitimately hurt. No f***ing coach would sit their vezina goalie. Zero.

Fleury got benched last year. Them reinserted after lehner won then benched again

He started loosening up in the second. I think the doubleshifting got him going a bit. Less time to overthink.

 

[Kane One]

Idk, WC? Not like he did amazingly well there either.

I don't buy this "mental weakling" shit either but his previous career doesn't really provide a great refutation for it.

Yeah just checked and it was the WC. He was amazing though based on the stats. 1.46 and 0.942.

 

[Bluto]

Hopefully thats a career ender for sidney. f*** slew foot sid.

 

[Doctyl]

The point with our last goaltender this would be more than enough goal support.

There’s a very long list of goalies in NHL history you could cherry pick a time period where you could say you want them. I want prime Andrew Hammond in this game.

 

[Rempe73]

Kakko, Laf and KAM are the silver lining. Chytil too to a degree.

Thank goodness.

But also, I’m filled with sadness that it’s just those 4.

 

[george14]

YES!!!!

You’re not seriously celebrating that hit? It looked like a blatant elbow to the face.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Ya wrong thread, sorry you had to shed tears buh bye

Go choke on some cabbage and noodles.

following this team all these years and going through the pain just to set up this "I have a gf" brag and you end up with the last post on page 68

 

[Do you want ants]

Fleury got benched last year. Them reinserted after lehner won then benched again

Fluery shouldn’t have been in the conversation and Lehner is in another galaxy compared to Georgiev.

 

[Doctyl]

Did Vally just tell the team to play with their balls?

 

[Filip Chytil]

Maybe Kaplan was wrong then

Lol I'm just making a comparison to recent NYR playoff teams dude. It ain't that deep.
