Bad pinch Fox

That GA was TEXTBOOK how I described our issue:

Opponents getting through the neutral zone with speed and backing our defensemen is always the result of being too freewheeling in the offensive zone. Gallant has to placate these guys, and especially Panarin, because they're the leadership group of this team. But all of that creative play in the offensive negatively affects defensive positioning when the puck gets turned over. Add to this the aggressive pinching to try and keep plays alive when they're already breaking down and that's a bad recipe on the defensive end.

It's not just Panarin, although he is the main culprit. It's also on Fox and Miller. They're trying so much to low-high cycle that when they lose the puck, it instantly becomes not just an opportunity for the other team but it's a high-danger opportunity on transition because usually it's one defenseman and one forward back (if we're lucky to even have that forward back) rather two defensemen. Then Fox or Miller puts his head down and tries to join the play on the defensive end but it's helter skelter on which man they should go to in Gallant's hybrid man-on-man-zone scheme. Then, we're also terrible at corralling rebounds off the initial shot, then it becomes extended zone time for the other team, and our unit of 5 is still trying to figure their shit out while the other team, which has better structure, has an offensive play figured out already.

The freedom the coach gives them for creative offense -- aka pond hockey -- comes at a cost. And then, to top it off, all that creative play isn't even paying off with their hundred-year-drought shooting percentage.

Yeah. The advanced stats say we’re good but we make terrible mistakes every game that always result in goals against

Low slot screened shot right inside the post. I’m critical of Shesterkin as well, but let’s have some reason.

Bad pinch by Fox but Laf had his guy covered.
Wonder whether Fox and Chytil confused each other on the next layer of coverage

 

[NYR94]

why does the ice have such a blue tint

 

[Circus86]

People are blaming Igor on that, really?

 

[Kocur26]

Fox caught up ice

Fox is in the early stages of Reddenits

By 2025 he’ll be booed off garden ice

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

It’s a bad pinch by Fox but just because they have a chance doesn’t mean they have to score. It feels like lately Igor is getting beat on half of every scoring chance he faces. He needs to be better.

 

[DanielBrassard]

yeah that's not on Igor.

 

[Cmox]

Dominic Moore the select dental guy?

 

[romba]

almost beat the commercial break, so close to winning against big advertisers!

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I don't know what team I'm watching anymore

We are watching The Rongos, of course.

 

[Unpredictable1]

He got f***ing accordioned

I almost thought he died. This guy has 0 core strength. 0. (I'm still rooting for the kid but cmon man!!)

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

It’s not blaming him but we need him to make big saves. Just bc it’s a good chance doesn’t mean it needs to go in. Team is mentally weak and they’re one minute from getting out of the period with a lead. A big save there does a lot for his confidence and the teams confidence.

 

[Draft Guru]

Jonatan Berggren is making his NHL debut tonight for Detroit. Bet the house on him scoring a goal, and probably a hat trick, because we're the Rangers and we lead the league in first NHL goals allowed. I'm kidding, maybe.

Berggren was drafted with a 2nd round pick in 2018 by Detroit. We sent them that pick in the deadline deal for Brendan Smith. We originally acquired that pick from Ottawa with Zibanejad for Derick Brassard. Of course Berggren makes his NHL debut against us.

1st period and 1 assist already....
