Post-Game Talk: Game #25: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals, 7pm ET, MSG

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I agree for the most part but I think this was actually almost the perfect opportunity to bring someone like him up.
Back-to-back games with Goodrow banged up. he'd know it was a very temporary call-up and he's heading straight back after the 2 games, but he gets a taste of it and doesn't really miss any development time with the Pack

I understand your logic, I don't think it's beneficial to bring him up for 3rd or 4th line minutes.....even if it is for one or two games.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Drury needs to seriously ask what team Mika would like to go to, and then ask Kreider.

These overreactions are pretty pathetic. We’re still 4 points behind 1st in the league with 3 games on hand.

Some of y’all need need to take a deep breath and step off the ledge. It’s a very long season and shit happens.

Big matzo balls tonight. Oy vey.

Agreed, but there's a huge hole on the Zib line he could have stepped into

 

[Machinehead]

The huge whole on the Zib line is Zib.

We're a one line team with a deadly PP.

Since the Boston game, this team has been collectively playing like shit.

 

[klingsor]

Too much time between games.

Damn schedule makers want the Rangers to fail.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Agreed, but there's a huge hole on the Zib line he could have stepped into

And we know from experience they would not bring him up and play him on the "top" line....it's not "the Rangers way".

 

[Clark Kellogg]

This will just be the PGT because f*** it

Inspired by the team’s effort.

 

[McRanger92]

I'm probably in the minority of 3 people who believe Othmann should remain in Hartford for the full season.

Why?

 

[17futurecap]

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Why?

Just feel he's better off getting a full year under his belt....he's getting the playing time he needs to develop.....won't happen if he's brought up.

 

[egelband]

Really enjoyed that.

@Ail exists in a parallel universe forty-five years behind ours. I believe, on 9 Dec 1978 the rangers dusted the seals 8-0.

It's not the fact that we lost.
It's the way in which we lose.
It's the same shit the last 3 seasons.

 

[egelband]

Yeah. Let’s limit the number of adjustments needed for young players. Stick worth Hartford this year and then new level next year if appropriate. Sure, a cup of coffee is fine at the end of the season assuming Hartford isn’t playing.
Caveat being, I don’t know the player at all. Maybe he’s super mature and confident and can handle being up and down without a problem. But my instinct would be to leave him in one place for the full season.

 

[SML2]

Wow this game was hard to watch. At least that JO Ovechkin didn't score.

It's just that they're not just losing lately, they're losing bad.

 

[Hire Sather]

Because of the 2007 Mets I will soon worry that we will be in danger of missing the playoffs.

This is also his first year in Hartford after the OHL......let him get adjusted to that level of play before yo-yoing him.

Brodzinski legitimately the WORST player on the ice.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

It's the same shit the last 3 seasons.

Good thing they have won 3 times as many as they have lost. Boston lost 3 straight games and gave up 17 goals in the process. Colorado got shut out 3 times in a 4 game stretch. Edmonton was 5-12 and looked like absolute trash. Were those good losses? Shit happens. Every team looks like shit at some point during a season.

 

[McRanger92]

I understand that but also think playing NHL games can only help him. He’d be with the Rangers right now if his birthday didn’t arbitrarily fall behind the CHL cutoff last year.

 

[hackeyman]

or old Gallant habits.

Give us a ****ing break.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The way most of them are playing, I'd want him as far away as possible.

It’s not about where we are in the regular season. It’s about whether we can win in the playoffs with this core. Mika and Artemi , our two best players have not shown up in the playoffs for a while. We need a few more guys with even the least bit of fire- not meek mika and bulls*it Miller. Vesey had to fight.
