Yeah but whats your L/60

 

[Vitto79]

So Shesterkin back tomor ?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

There have been so many games worth getting bent out of shape over.

this is not one of them.

 

[Sayba]

Prepare yourselves to see kakko scratched next. Mark my words

Honestly it should be Lafreniere. Can someone tell me what he is doing out there? He is standing still in both zones.

 

[Machinehead]

MFW posters are appalled by how much vitriol myself and @Machinehead expel in Washington’s direction...

I’m counting the days until Ovechkin and Backstrom hang ‘em up and I no longer have to acknowledge the existence of that dum-dum franchise.

Word, I hope they go back to being a comedy act like the Devils have post-Brodeur.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wins and losses don't bother me that much. But the kids being complete non factors night after night makes me want to commit sudoku

We're not as bad as our record. In fact this team has played like a legit playoff team probably in 80% of their games. Their goaltending has sunk them. Even Igor in the beginning against the Pens. This team is good enough to be a playoff team but they'll get some scrub 3rd liner between picks 10 and 15 this year. That's what we'll have to show for this season. Georgiev is trash. Kinkaid is trash. And Igor seems to have way too many injuries already in his career.

Nah, we're going to package that No. 1 draft pick in an Eichel trade.

1. Get Igor back
2. Practice 6 on 5 end of game situations.
3. Break up the kid line
4. Do something with the PP.

All good points.
1.) Lets hope
2.) won't matter they aren't even close to threatening on 6 on 5
3.) At this point who knows what's going on with 24 and 13 offensively
4.) Will never happen.

the first goal was unlucky. That shot was like 1000 feet wide.

he overplayed the second and kicked it right into the happy zone. This is why he is what he is.

It’s weird to say, but this loss is 1000000 times more satisfying than the wins they had against Buffalo and NJ earlier this month where they got their teeth kicked in and happened to win. If they do this on the regular, they’re going to win a ton.

The Rangers were very good for the first two periods. First time I've seen mobility and cohesion throughout the lines, even a solid puck possession game. It all fell apart in the third period, the weak fourth line and some questionable goal tending didn't help, but for the first time they looked like a team for parts of the game rather than just riding some big talent up front.

What’s the over/under on Howden?

 

[Kords]

I should be bummed, but i'm pretty okay with the L. Our Defense gives me serious hope for this future, once our young forwards take that next step we'll be rolling 3 dangerous lines.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Honestly it should be Lafreniere. Can someone tell me what he is doing out there? He is standing still in both zones.

He really looks so disinterested. It's kinda bizarre actually. He's completely frozen with fear of making a mistake.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Georgiev likes to cover the outside of the net like he did on the garbage goal he gave up to John Marino in Pitt.

he's not very good and is often out of position.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Howden was out in no mans land on the second Ovi no idea how this guy is still getting regular minutes

If Gauthier did that he’d be benched for a month

 

[Machinehead]

I would swap Blackwell and Kakko.

I know Panarin and Strome like their grinder but Kakko is excelling at all the grindy stuff this year and it might help get his offense going.

It's a win-win.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Good for OV. I just want him to break Gretzky’s record. Would be nice for the greatest goal scorer in NHL history to not be Canadian.

Wait, what do you have against Canadians?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Knoblauch seems uncomfortable in interviews.

 

[Tob]

So we're all just going from play Kakko, Lafreniere more and give them good linemates and PP1 time to scratch both of them! I like it. This franchise is now severely short on leadership. We had too much of it and too little skill for a decade and now it's flip flopped.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Don't be too proud, Ginger Papa hands those things out like candy.

He's responsible for 5,000 of them.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

this is not one of them.

Toughest loss of the year considering they outplayed them and deserved to win.

 

[Boris Zubov]

He's responsible for 5,000 of them.

All of mine actually.

 

[bl02]

I don't know totally exhausting trying to figure out where to put Kakko and Laf at this point. I would just leave that line together. I don't think they were on for a goal against at least. They haven't been together that long. maybe give them another week or so?

 

[Daves a mess]

Whatever. As long as Godzilla beats King Kong.

I'm good.
