Post-Game Talk: Game 56: New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres , 5:30 ET, MSG

[Siddi]

Not long term.

Have you not seen this current version of Mika? He is a different player since the calender turned. People do bounce back you know.

Why would he not regain his ice-time once he is comfortable and his play reflects just that?

Game in 2+ hours and none of the beat reporters have reported anything? Nice

 

[Machinehead]

Why don't you tell those members to ignore the posts of others that they find so troubling instead of restricting free speech?

You don't have free speech here.

Should have left that bum Fox in Boston. Amirite?

Should have given him a game or 2 off

I would have preferred they left Kreider there. It's his home.

Legend has it that Andre the Giant farted for 16 consecutive seconds on the set of this movie.

Apparently we can live without our "2nd pairing defenseman"

Mika himself talked about it being a mental issue. Dude was visibly depressed and had panic attacks. Not everything has to be physical. Elite athletes are human beings.

How did HFNYR react to him talking about mental issues? He was ridiculed and called soft.

I mean this in the most respectful way there is a massive difference in someone saying it’s a mental issue versus you making an assumption that it’s depression and panic attacks. Unless it’s reported by Mika or the team itself you shouldn’t make such posts/accusations/assumptions.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Struggles being mental is vague as hell. A loss of confidence or the yips are mental but is not the same as struggling with a mental illness

Could Zibs just have meant nothing physically is wrong when speaking of mental? As in mental errors?

His turds were so big he had to dump in the shower and run hot water over it while visiting hotels.

I'm sure that smelled amazing

 

[NickyFotiu]

Nah. Tell them to straighten up. Besides, even when ignoring people other people comment on their nonsense so you get it anyway.

Let’s root for the Rangers to win

I find ignore useful. I never mind a contrary opinion but if someone is repeatedly personally rude I don't find a need to continue. We are Rangers fans not Devils fans

I usually only put trolls on ignore or people who spam and argue in bad faith. Those that make every post like it’s a drunk bar fight sort of mentality.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Need to win and keep the momentum going

 

[Tob]

Expect goals from Panarin, Schneider, Fox, and Cuylle.

Need to win and keep the momentum going

I honestly forgot... we're on a win streak?

Beat cbj last game

I get what you are saying but all I said was something that numerous posters type every single GDT. And that is that the dude looked depressed. I am not saying that he was clinically depressed but the dude was clealryy going through some shit. Here is a quote from the Swedish article titled Mika Zibanejads struggle against his inner demons:

-Toughest period in my life ever. I can talk about it but I cant explain it. I will never be able to fully explain what it feels like to be in this situation.

Mika om tuffa tiden: ”Jag kan inte förklara det”

Mika Zibanejad gjorde en katastrofal insats senast mot Winnipeg Jets. Förstecentern i New York Rangers hade minus fyra i statistiken och tappade pucken till tre

I am just happy our boy is back to smiling and producing.

I just assumed they made him walk back to NY. It's good to hear that he's available to play, maybe his conditioning is getting better if he was able to make it back so fast?

Will be interesting to see the intensity of this one after a few weeks off, but I'm going to miss most of it

 

[Atax]

Twister and then some NYR hockey. Good day.
