Im just not a fan of the way we 6-on-5. Still looking for the perfect passing play.

Because looking for that perfect pass play is EASIER than shooting and hustling to retrieve the puck, shooting and getting it back in the corner, shooting and getting the rebound, shooting, shooting....you get the idea.
Especially 6 on 5 there is little room. They should be making one pass and shoot. Ugggh. And mind you, I am an optimist but it just seems this is their thing. Quinn couldn't change it, and GG doesnt seem to be getting it through either. Unless of course, he is okay with it.

worst display of refereeing all season

Can’t pin all the blame on them, but my god was it ever atrocious to watch. They missed the only two legitimate penalties all game…

Sorokin was excellent. Can’t blame Shesty either…we just need to find more offense 5v5 somehow.

Our finish game is weak

When a goalie is locked in like Sorokin, have to play simple hockey shooting the puck from up top. This team refuses. 6on5 they refused. Play too slow and allow the lanes to be closed up

Panarin on the wall is predictable. A lot of our offense is predictable. When does it end?

If Sorokin doesn’t make that ridic save in the 1st on Bread… this game ends very differently

Big save no doubt... but the 2 "missed" calls on the NYI were more critical.
Barzal cross checking Zabinajad, high hit on Lindgren ... blood... missed...

Everything's been covered pretty well so only thing I'll add is that it's a shame MSG isn't like that atmosphere wise more often. Being there last night, the crowd felt like a playoff game and it probably hasn't been that loud there since the last time they were in the playoffs. Obviously the fact that it's the Islanders and St Patty's day added to it but it really made for a fun time at the arena. Also not as many Islander fans as there usually are though that was expected given their place in the standings.

Plenty of Islanders fans in my section.

Likely the first round of the playoffs…

Valiquette: We're easy to play against.

We sure don't make things difficult or uncomfortable for the opposition. We play a clean game.

What's the tri-state? Need to know that first LOL.

Tri-state challenge is the brand they put on Rangers-Isles and Rangers-Devils games. Hence Vatrano's first game as a Ranger last night qualifies as an answer. Was thinking this could be for your trivia lol

I still can't get over that save. Not just the athleticism to get over, but the coordination to raise his stick up off the ice mid-dive when he saw that Bread elevated the shot. I'd obviously still take Shesty, but dammit if Sorokin is a freakish talent.
 
Chytil had the best game of any F who did not score.
He is a keeper, we need to move on from Strome.
needs correct linemates. I'd be good w/Gauthier and a guy who can actually score.
Is Vatrano that guy?

I suspect Drury brings in more shoot-first types. Like Vatrano. Going forward.

Yep. Could have been majors or at least double minors too.

Yep. It’s not just the lack of edge. It’s really the lack of fighting through checks, clogging the net front, and even the obstruction stuff. As we know the refs rarely call it. Rangers might as well get some of that for themselves, too.
