Post-Game Talk: GM 52 | Wings def. Canucks | 3-2 (OT) (Suter, Chytil) | No Power Plays for You.

[Just A Bit Outside]

Out with the old.

In with the new.

 

[iceburg]

What do we do if in a month or two he still hasn’t improved?
What if he plays in the Four Nations (meaning he’s healthy enough to play in a gimmick tournament) and doesn’t make a dent there either?

You get rid of him to the highest bidder and use the 11.6 to bring in a top line centre.

Chytil looked so damn good

 

[arttk]

I’d rather play a dman short than play #47.

What’s the diff?

 

[xtr3m]

Isn't that an American product you’ve got there?..

Rantanen

There aren’t enough top line centers for every single team.

No it's clearly Canadian

Filip Chytil

 

[Quinning]

With the premium price of Dmen going into the deadline I would entertain the idea of trading Soucy. Could easily get a 3rd for him. Maybe more.

Replace him with Willander

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Since the trade:

Miller: 4 points
Pettersson: 4 shots

I believe there is a forum here for Miller / Rangers fans

 

[Vector]

I mentioned it earlier but Juulsen actually played more shifts, D-Petey was just playing almost minute-long shifts. Probably not something you want to see from him every night.

Pettersson played two less shifts and, other than a couple of extended defensive zone shifts, was out there longer because they controlled the play in the offensive zone when he was on the ice.

Juulsen’s best skill, apart from being a decent penalty killer, is to get the hell off he ice.

 

[ExarKun80]

Miller trolls should move on and cheer for the rangers where they can see their hero play.

 

[xtr3m]

How did we like the absence of Soucy?

 

[BluesyShoes]

The prioritization of handedness in defencemen would make sense if they didn’t have so many players using their backhand to control the puck and make soft attempts at passes and clears. Negating the entire point of sitting better players.

I thought the defense actually looked really good tonight, at least in the neutral zone. Maybe it was just Detroit being tired, but they were able to execute their system really well, keeping neutral zone pressure very high in the second and third. Detroit was having a very hard time making controlled break outs and getting through the neutral zone with possession. Periods of the game tonight looked a lot like how Edmonton kept us hemmed in our own zone last post-season.

Our forwards just couldn't generate anything offensively, which is a big concern. I think with a half healthy Quinn Hughes, we win this game most nights. (Or with a Petey playing to his cap hit.) I felt like it was a good example of how Tocchet's system can be successful and aggressive offensively.

Source of the Fentanyl supply discovered. Now Don needs to call off the referee penalty sanctions.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Pete gets alot of hate but I thought he was actually pretty good this game.

He will get a ton of hate from here on out now that he "won the power struggle."

 

[Quinning]

Obviously you can't really blame him after what he's gone through, but the team has really missed Joshua being on his game this season. He has 11 shots in 26 games.

 

[wonton15]

How did we like the absence of Soucy?

I’d be fine to trade him any time between now and next season. With Forbort looking like a solid #5-6, D-Petey knocking on the door, and Willander ripe, there is no space for an underperforming Soucy. If we can get actual value out of Soucy, do it.

 

[valkynax]

Miller trolls should move on and cheer for the rangers where they can see their hero play.

I'm happy to see Miller continue to succeed. He is a good player, and him playing well helps NYR push for playoff and make the pick we give up less valuable.

Pete, so far has been underwhelming.

 

[TruGr1t]

I would bet Mancini gets a shot over Juulsen sometime soon here, being so green he'll probably take a couple more practices than the vets.

 

[Breakers]

Rantanen

Marner has played more center than Rantanen

both are wingers

 

[me2]

How did we like the absence of Soucy?

Who?

Now seriously I think they should trade him and try to free up $3m plus and redirect it to the forwards. I don't think he's needed anymore. Between him and boeser going they get $10m+ for a boeser replacement (s).

 

[bob77]

Forbort goes 8 straight games now without a minus…. Spoiler alert. He got a minus tonight from the bench in the stat sheet.
