GDT: Islanders @ Rangers | 7 pm | MSG

[mike14]

Panarin with 41 assists in a touch over half a season. Since the lockout 15 Rangers players have scored 41+ assists in a full season...

 

[Hinterland]

I don’t see any other solution

Solution is very easy...send Shesterkin back down. They should have done it already since they weren't gonna play him in this one.
There's nothing wrong with giving Shesterkin starts but he should be back with Hartford when he's not starting...

This is fun and all, but we need at least 2 more before I can un-clench

And I know what you're referring to.

 

[Kovalev27]

I gotta laugh at the Kakko needs to get stronger posts like guys ya think? He’s 18 years old ffs. What do you think is going to happen over the next 5 years?

just enjoy watching him figure it out. Love this kid.

Chytil is a monster in the making.

imagine having Georgiev and Shesterkin and being able to keep Kreider Fast Strome? If hank retired it would be that simple.

Super depressing that in the team's 90 year history one Ranger has broken 100. Once.

Umm...what?

I feel like everything should be discussed pre-entry draft and post-entry draft. Before the draft we were at such a disadvantage.

 

[JRinNYC]

MSG sounds dead. Years ago you’d see a standing ovation after those first two periods.

It’s pretty loud here at MSG. We were clapping during that long possession.

 

[will1066]

The isles sorta stopped skating at some points. I’ve seen that a lot this season from various teams. It’s a really trend.

The loss of Matthew Martin has really hit them hard this game.

 

[Irishguy42]

Last third or so of the period was...uh...quite bad.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Now we need Zib to get back on the scoresheet. He's had some chances.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Kakko needs some man strength. He just doesn't win many puck battles at this level.

Absolutely. He's getting bullied on board battles, but he's looking pretty good otherwise for an 18 year old.

Have him live with Prentiss for the summer.

No it’s not. Ratelle and Messier both had over 100

Edited to add - Leetch, Hadfield, Rogers

I weighed 130 lbs when I was 18.

Have him with @True Blue. He'll know how to put some man strength on Kakko.

 

[Cag29]

This is the Kreider I like. Involved playing strong using his speed strength and size.

Fox playing great love him with Lindgren.

Panarin is awesome. Puck follows the great players.

Fast steady as always. Solid.

Georgiev is an excellent talent. Hope to keep him and Igor. Pushing each other.

I can almost guarantee the next two starts are Shesty then Geo.

 

[Rempe73]

A few things:

Ryan Lindgren is great. So damn solid. He is the best defensive defenseman we have had since a young Staal.

Brady Skjei, and I will say this even on a bad night, gets way too much ****.

The people that have talked about not liking Fast in general (and I remember who they are) are stupid.

Lindgren is very good. Agreed about Skjei. Fast is a good player, but I don’t want him for the price he’s going to command in free agency.

 

[Off Sides]

I believe that when it actually happens...pretty sure the Rangers won't get a good enough return to actually trade him and I don't see them giving him away for cheap.

I'm all for them keeping both young goalies, I hope they can find a way.

That's easy since they can send Shesterkin down anytime.

 

[Kovalev27]

Kakko needs to get bigger faster stronger...... amazing analysis of an 18 year old kid playing his first North American pro hockey guys lol

 

[Crease]

No it’s not. Ratelle and Messier both had over 100

You're right. And Leetch and Hadfield. I misread the table.

 

[Kovalev27]

He can leave for Russia at this point if we do.

 

[Rempe73]

And I know what you're referring to.

Ass cheeks?

 

[Hinterland]

No big deal...Rangers would keep his rights...and he can return when Lundqvist retires. Rangers don't really need Shesterkin now.
