Braun/Nemeth had a good one, that should continue for some games here.

 

[Machinehead]

Well he's horrible now.

Yes, he became horrible over the summer.

It's not that we're seeing a bit of variance and a partner that went from top pair to replacement-level.

Braun/Nemeth had a good one, that should continue for some games here.

Like I said last night, Nemeth was always good until we asked him to carry AHL defensemen for an entire season.

 

[Richard Banger]

I don't know if I would agree with that.

Even with this rough patch, this is a better season than Hank ever had. Hank never approached numbers like that over ~55 games.

Hank was all about consistency. We only won one Vezina because he was rarely the #1 best goalie in the league over any 82 game stretch.

The thing is, #1 always changed while Hank was always #2 or at worst, #3. That's pretty unheard of for a goalie, except Hasek.

Hasek was Igor's peak with Hank's consistency.

Igor has some big shoes to fill. While Hank didn’t have #1 stats. He was hands down the best goalie in the league every playoffs.

His game 7 record is definitely the GOAT.

My hope is that we never find out because Igor never has to win series by himself like Hank did.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

The shots weren’t fully indicative of the game, but the Rangers were still decent.

The refs just really gave the impression that they were making it up as they go. The past few games the officiating has been conspiracy-level. Today though, it just seemed like they didn’t know what to do.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Nah he just really hate when great goalies give up soft goals. But it happens to the best goalies.

Thank you, the take that I expect a shutout every game is a f***ing stupid one. Shesterkin giving up horrendous goals to put this team behind the 8 ball is not the same as me wanting a shutout. Good saves don't make up for horrendous goals.

 

[bbny]

Hoping hoping that’s the last game we have to play without Kakko Rooney and Strome?

Sounds close

What do you expect Kakko to do with his 30 point pace? Or Rooney who is a 4th line plug and PK specialist. Neither of these guys are helping our offense in any way.

Strome, yes. I want to see Panarin-Strome-Copp again. Thought it looked good and had a chance to gel.

 

[hackeyman]

The shootout attempts by Pan and Zibs were pathetic and everyone is going on about Chytil .

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Best in game 7s, not best overall. Gave up horrible goals in some games and looked absolutely brutal.

The good saves don’t make up the bad goals but the good save allowed the team to come back and win. That you can’t deny

 

[will1066]

Panarin hasn't been this engaged in a long while. He's been the best player on the ice, in all games since Strome went out.

We just can't finish and have gotten lazy on back checks/defense. The 3rd goal allowed was egregious by Fox.

He thought of Strome during the review of the delay of game non-penalty and decided that he would take it up another gear and play for his memory.

Marty Brodeur invented horrendous goals. Valiquette retired because he watched highlights of Brodeur giving up horrendous goals and realized his life's work was meaningless.

He still won three Cups.

Panarin wasn’t at fault. Shit ice f***ed up his shot.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yes, he became horrible over the summer.

It's not that we're seeing a bit of variance and a partner that went from top pair to replacement-level.

So Fox couldn't have become horrible over the summer but Lindgren could have?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Well on the bright side, I believe Dryden Hunt played his best game as a Ranger.
Looking forward to more of this from him for the rest of the season.

 

[Embryo]

Strome coming back any day now, so it'll be fine. And at least we got a point, we jumped over the Bolts and Toronto in the standings not that it matters much, but was an improvement from the Icelander game!

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Hoping hoping that’s the last game we have to play without Kakko Rooney and Strome?

Sounds close

In a perfect world we never see Brodzinski or Hunt on the second line again. We never see Mckegg or Gauthier on any line again. Did Gauthier even play tonight?

 

[Richard Banger]

So Fox couldn't have become horrible over the summer but Lindgren could have?

I think they both went down a notch in terms of quality. Problem is Fox went from Leetch to a #1D where Lindgren went from a #2D to a #5D

 

[Tob]

Still missing Strome, Kakko, Rooney, Blais, Jones, Schneider and Kravtsov.

 

[Machinehead]

So Fox couldn't have become horrible over the summer but Lindgren could have?

I didn't say that.

I also don't think Lindgren being a top pair guy is his long-term calling.

He probably lands in the middle.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I think they both went down a notch in terms of quality. Problem is Fox went from Leetch to a #1D where Lindgren went from a #2D to a #5D

Fox is at a ppg. He's still a top 5 dman in the league this season.

 

[Embryo]

After tonight, Artemi Panarin has 82 points already, in only 65 games just for the record. he is going to average way over a point per game for another season. He is incredible and everyone should be grateful and appreciative that he's on our team.

 

[Mike in Houston]

We outshot them and out chanced them 2 to 1.

So the charts should look pretty good, no?

 

[Machinehead]

That charts are ridiculous.

Looks like a Rangers powerplay.
