Its real simp!e-come out and win a period

 

[Kords]

Thank goodness.

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

If it helps, I think Schneider has been okay too all things considered. Another full season in the oven and he'll be solid.

 

[NikC]

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

i'm very serious. maybe you should be watching another sport. ping pong maybe?

 

[bleedblue94]

Even though zibanejad got 80 points this year, I feel he regressed. He is too soft and not as dynamic as he was couple of years ago.

His skating has dropped. His speed isn't there like it was in the past. It's affected a lot of his game.

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

You’re the one crying in here, you little bitch! Whah…headshot on the princess…WHAAAAAH!

 

[Doctyl]

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

Recent playoffs are the ones Hank was losing in though. You said you only want 2012-2015 Hank.

 

[Ginger Papa]

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

I will never stop.

 

[RangersFan]

Yeah, it's not the kids I'm worried about, Valley.

 

[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.

 

[Raspewtin]

i don't even know, just win, i dont care how

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

At least we're not Florida who looks like they might be one and done in a Presidents' Trophy winning season against a worse team.

Cheering so hard for LA, Tampa, and Washington lol. I don’t want to be the only embarrassments

 

[mas0764]

Igor’s pro resume is more than long enough to know who he is and know the last few games are something weird and not just him falling apart. People just love to have their negative hot takes.

The kid line is killing it and Laf will be the captain of this team in time imo. He’s one of the only guys to give a shit all series. Kakko and Chytil have been excellent and so composed as well.

Lastly, Domingue sucks - the only thing is you need to actually put pucks on him.

I’m certainly not making any sweeping long term declarations on Igor. But he has been average to bad almost all series.

 

[Tob]

This is the kind of game that remind people what kind of players it takes to win but then we'll be back to looking at WAR % in the off season in 2 weeks. Sometimes it' a people more than the hockey player.

 

[Bob Richards]

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

Being the last post on a page is truly punishment.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Recent playoffs are the ones Hank was losing in though. You said you only want 2012-2015 Hank.

That's recent for me. Like I said, It ain't that deep.

 

[RangersFan1994]

He played 53 games dude.

I know but think about this, Igor has never more than 53 games during any of his pro season.


only played 35 last year, 28, 28, 39 last 3 years in the KHL. With travel, that does take its toll, especially someone who is not used to playing this many games. Maybe he is not only hurt but a little tired.

 

[Bluto]

Cheering so hard for LA, Tampa, and Washington lol. I don’t want to be the only embarrassments

Legitimately f*** Edmonton and Toronto.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

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

I'm not defending anybody. You said they were an offensive powerhouse which is just untrue. I just gave you the numbers. They are middle of the pack. They won with goaltending and shutting things down, especially the last month or 2.

 

[Doctyl]

Crosby’s WAR is pretty good

Is #82 meant to be #72? Or am I blanking on someone?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So I'm not the only one? I don't think Tampa would count though.

I’m certainly not making any sweeping long term declarations on Igor. But he has been average to bad almost all series.

He was excellent the first two games and has been bad since. Carter hit him awkwardly at the end of game 2 was it? And games 3 and 4 he wasn’t good but he was also hung out to dry and then some

 

[Brutananadilewski]

I’m certainly not making any sweeping long term declarations on Igor. But he has been average to bad almost all series.

The 1st two games he was good. His save percentage was, what, .952?

These last 3, oh boy....

 

[bleedblue94]

And then he has played 3 of the worst games of his career to follow it up

Which is why I'm starting to believe something happened to him. An injury is an increasing possibility
