Post-Game Talk: Game 2 - New York Rangers @ Minnesota Wild - 8pm EST - MSG

[Fitzy]

At this rate the only way VK74 sniffs the top 6 is on another team

Playing with Chytil isn't the end of the world

 

[ohbaby]

What a first period

 

[Atax]

What a way to end that period. I’m a bit worried about Minnesota ramping up their physical play and getting dirty.

 

[mas0764]

Laffy needs to stay on the second line.

Certainly for now.

 

[Captain Lindy]

If Bread is into it we will be good

He's on a mission this year.

 

[ohbaby]

Laffy keeps threading those passes.

 

[tlk]

Bread got an extra gear this offseason?

Rocketed along the board into the zone before that play

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Zac Jones making everyone aware of his intention to be a young stud

 

[mas0764]

I'd really like to see laf step up as a goal scorer with bread on his line.

Get that chemistry with Panarin and it’ll happen baby

 

[will1066]

Everyone stfu. Bill Pidto is on for MSG 150

 

[Chytilmania]

Man that was my biggest frustration with Laf, he wasn’t really setting up his teammates. Obviously small sample, but maybe he’s making the turn. He had some good setups in the playoffs too. This group has a ton of confidence right.

I think the complaint was no one was finishing his set ups.

 

[kinger8998]

They're playing fine. All three of those goals were grade A chances generated.

Two out of three of the goals we scored would have also been scored on Shesterkin.

The grounded take half this tread needed. Just wanted to reshare for anyone who couldn't read it and talk themselves off the ledge because Minny came out hot in their home opener, as you'd expect

 

[Mac n Gs]

Igor was fantastic that period and really helped weather the storm until the first PP goal. Mika and Panarin look amazing to start this season, and those plays by Laf were phenomenal

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I’d look for Minny to start getting physical this period to get back in the game. They have a ton of big boys. Watch for a Reaves/Middleton scrap.

 

[NYR94]

Nice to see the Rangers "overtly killing Lafreniere's career" or whatever the clowns on the main board think

 

[offdacrossbar]

I prefer this type of efficient energetic start over the skating in mud for 40 mins then figuring it out too late thing.

 

[chosen]

A mere 2 pages ago, people were slipping back into oh no mode, but Panarin told them to shut up.

 

[will1066]

They're incredibly skilled but it felt like the entire period was in their zone and they were running around like chickens with their heads cut off in their own zone, especially early.

When do you see your gf again?

 

[mrmovies779]

Playing with Chytil isn't the end of the world

I never said it was,but we have no clue if the kid will throw another tantrum and storm off home again.

 

[mas0764]

Kakko and Laf should never leave the Top 6 again. They fit their lines perfectly.

Kravstov I could see on the 3rd line, because Chytil needs some skill to play with.

Word

 

[Kennerback]

Good game by Lafreniere

 

[Charlie Conway]

Even if Laf stays with Panarin and Kakko sticks on line 1, still not sold on the third line assembled from the remainder.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I prefer this type of efficient energetic start over the skating in mud for 40 mins then figuring it out too late thing.

Is it me or do the Rangers look quicker this season so far? hopefully its not cause its early in the season.

 

[Zarao71]

Hard to believe this team finished tied for 16th/17th in goals for last season.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

There was a pretty brutal 15 minute stretch there but they were opportunistic and Laf has two points. So that’s a win.
