Post-Game Talk: Flyers @ Rangers -- 4/23/21

[duhmetreE]

how has MSG still... STILL not fixed that peaking mic.

 

[Tob]

Assuming 1 more of a NYR win BOS L in 2 days, and assume our last 2 games of the season are back to back wins against the Bruins in regulation, we will just need equal points in 5 games than the Bruins' 7 games.

Laf 1st line
Kravtsov 2nd line
Keep that going

I don’t have a problem w Kreider 3rd line and PP1

 

[CLW]

I really want to see kakko take the reigns more on that third line.

He hardly ever gets the puck when he is moving fast especially not through the neutral zone, the entire line had problems getting out of their own zone under control. This is an area coaches should fix. On top Chytil is just not a line driver, he's good in the offensive zone, but as center he is not quite there yet.

Laf's a pretty humble kid. Just kept repeating that he needs to get better

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Man I’m still so annoyed no one did anything after Geo just got clobbered.

Not surprising...





The Lundqvist one is still nightmare fuel these years later. How no one did anything about that right as it happened is still incomprehensible to me.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Going to channel my SnowblindNYR... Laf's goal was nice, but when was the last time any of his goals were snipes?

I used to say that about Buchnevich but he's been better at it this year. Good memory.

 

[CLW]

Looks better than Miller to me, but it's a little soon for those thoughts. I think.

He is definitely brainier. A Fox type. Miller will be fine down the line though.

 

[Machinehead]

Poll up momentarily

Jones is also a good skater. In the next couple games, I think he'll turn the wheels lose at least once and wow us a bit.

 

[Fitzy]

Comparing Jones to Fox, or Lundkvist to Fox, is always going to be a disappointment.

Fox is a legitimate 1A defenseman, and a Norris candidate in his second year in the league. He will probably overtake McDonagh as our best defenseman since prime Leetch.

We're just hoping these two guys even become solid 1B/2A options.

 

[aufheben]

All lines are playing better with the kids spread out.

Next game Panarin - Kravtsov will be fire.

What could have been if it was done earlier

You mean the first half of the season?

 

[Cmox]

Poll up momentarily

I think you forgot the player of the game, lol

Not bad.

Georgiev was 3 for 3 of our 4 wins against the Flyers this year. Alex has it in for certain teams. He was outstanding tonight. Great game for Lafreniere as well and Fox and Jones looked good.

A better effort overall.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Voted for Nolan Ryan since Georgiev wasn’t an option.

 

[Cmox]

Quinn sounds like he’s gonna keep these lines.

I hope so. It took him long enough to try it out.

Damn that autofill.

Georgiev added.

 

[Machinehead]

Really tough poll tonight. I had 6 or 7 guys going for 3 spots.

I didn't say Jones is Fox or will be Fox. I said he is similar in how he processes the game, a thinking man's player. You can observe without adding expectations you know. I can see why the Rangers like him.

Well I wasn’t calling out your post specifically, which is why I don’t quote it directly.

But I do think Torrey Krug is probably a better comparable for Jones optimistically than Fox. I don’t see that level of vision from Zac, and I also don’t think he will ever be considered an above average defender in his own end.

When it comes to fox I could count the number of players I think are similar on one hand. A rich mans Rafalski always comes to mind

 

[B17 Apricots]

Voted for Nolan Ryan since Georgiev wasn’t an option.

Had to go Igor here since he gave up zero goals tonight over Georgiev who gave up not zero goals tonight

Hajek makes this stat meaningless as does Lindgren and Zibanejad.
